I was never really into the Sideshow scene before G.I. Joe started getting their treatment, but as I looked into this company more and more, I get more and more impressed. Granted, most of their offerings are still well out of my price range, but damn, I can’t argue about the quality. I was drooling over the Storm Shadow a bit more today and came across this absolutely sickening Terminator Salvation John Connor figure. Holy crap. That is one damn impressive looking figure, even if he is from several years in the future.
His outfit looks fairly military in nature, but sort of “pimped out” enough to work in the G.I. Joe universe, and he is equipped to the tilt. It doesn’t hurt that the movie looks absolutely kick ass as well.
With that earpiece, military gear, and fantastic machine gun, Christian Bale could instantly be a member of your G.I. Joe team. One of the absolute coolest 12″ figures I’ve ever seen. Gold. He’s produced by Hot Toys and distributed by Sideshow, and if you’re interested, pre-order him:

As we are all aware, Sideshow Toys put their excellent Storm Shadow COBRA Ninja figure up for pre-order late last week, complete with a very nice gallery of images. Well, Cool Toy Review scored a sneak preview of the figure with some even larger, more high resolution images of the infamous COBRA assassin. These pictures are absolutely huge and insanely detailed and showcase Storm Shadow very, very nicely.
Checkout the pictorial here. And if you love what you see, pre-order the Storm Shadow here.

Storm Shadow is certainly following the trend set by Snake Eyes, COBRA Commander, and the COBRA Trooper. A very impressive looking 12″ rendition of COBRA’s 1st Ninja Assassin. Very cool.

Sideshow Collectibles celebrates the last day of Toy Fair 2009 with an announcement of an upcoming 12″ Storm Shadow and more “specialized” COBRA Troopers. The story has been posted on Sideshowtoy.com and the photo has been mirrored below. A big thanks to meeko on HissTank.com for the news.
It should be noted in the photo below as well that there appears to be a different COBRA Trooper, one with tan webgear and a red facemask. It would appear that this version might be the Sideshow Exclusive version of their Trooper that has yet to be revealed.
I was never really into the Sideshow scene before G.I. Joe started getting their treatment, but as I looked into this company more and more, I get more and more impressed.
