The guys at The Terror Drome are continuing their great “Pictorial Reviews” this time tackling the very recently released Senior Ranking Officer 3-Packs, exclusive to Toys “R” Us. These sets each have their own unique identity with some pluses and minuses…personally, I really like the green camouflage redeco of Sgt. Stone, and I like Speed Metal as well, even if he is just a minor repaint and head swap. Love the Destro in the COBRA pack as well, very reminiscent of his video game appearence, which is great.
Anyway, you can check out the Joe review here, and the COBRA one here. Images are hosted below.
Paul Ernst from Fighting-118th.com has found the Toys “R” Us Exclusive Senior Ranking Officer figures at a local Toys “R” Us, and reports about it on his site here. They retail for $14.99, and look to have some pretty nice repaints in the packs.
Toys “R” Us is coming out with a flood of store exclusives over the next year, including a pair of Senior Ranking Officer 3-packs, one from the COBRA side, one from G.I. Joe. The COBRA side features a very cool Destro repaint that is actually a nice version of how he appears in the console video game. There’s a great Elite-Viper and Neo-Viper as well (though the Neo-Viper is labelled as a Viper Commando for some weird reason).
Anyway, check out the nice post at the COBRA Collection Blog, and I’ve also mirrored a TON of images below. I’m really liking this set!
Big thanks to HissCommander from The Terror Drome for pointing out this new clip that’s appeared online…it features the immortal Destro talking about some of his family history with Baroness and Storm Shadow. Original video is on MySpace video here, or check it out in embedded form below.
Something glitched out today, and for whatever reason a scheduled post for review updates didn’t go through. Yikes. Anyway, I’ve added the following reviews to the review page today!
