A friendly reminder about Marauder “Gun Runners”

So it’s been a while since I’ve talked about Marauder “Gun Runners”, and I figure I’m way overdue.  I’ve been reading joy all over the internets about finding Rise of COBRA toys, but I’ve also been hearing some complaints about the accessories and the weapon choices.  Well, as usual, Marauder can come to the rescue.

It took me like 10 minutes to find guns that totally rock the Rise of COBRA figures, and I’ve showed a very small gallery of those below.  Weapons used in the images are:

There are so many other cool weapons that I could have used as well, but these were among the first four I grabbed.  Do yourself a favor…if you pick up some RoC figures and don’t like the weapons, take 10 minutes and hit up Marauder…it’ll make your life better!

SDCC Exclusives available in limited numbers at JoeCon 2009

The GIJoe Collectors Club newsletter has started to arrive in member’s home, and a  small tidbit of information should make convention goers very happy.  Folks who are fired up about the SDCC Destro (or the 12″ Baroness for that matter) but cannot make it out to San Diego will have an opportunity to buy the movie accurate Destro at JoeCon in August!

There is no indication of exactly how many will be available, but there will be something anyway.  Good luck to all who attend!

Some great reviews for the new G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA figures and vehicles

I’ve sung the praises of the LastBestAngryMan Toy Review blog in these pages before, but I must repeat myself.

LBAM has scored a bevy of the initial releases for the Rise of COBRA toys, including the Steel Crusher, Gunship, and a helping of Wave 1.  He’s reviewed them all in typical fashion right here.

Some very cool pictures and interesting insight as always.
