The Terror Drome reports of some information gleaned from overseas auctions indicates that many of the recent revealed repaints are of Toys “R” Us exclusive 3-Packs. Keep in mind that this is merely rumor so far, and is not the least bit confirmed, but there are a round number of figures that fit that theme. The rumored figures are as follows:
- Grunt (Woodland camo repaint of Wave 1 Zartan)
- Sgt. Stone (Green repaint)
- Destro (Blue and red repaint)
- Elite Viper
- Neo-Viper (Blue repaint)
- Speed Metal (Accelerator Suit guy with Serpentor head)
I must say, if this news is true, I’m happy to hear it. With the rash of revealed repaints, I was pretty worried that the main line might get heavily diluted with minor color changes that meant little or nothing to the plot, but I’m happy to see these being relagated to exclusives. It’s also pretty neat to see a couple of new characters mixed in here like Grunt, Speed Metal, and Elite-Viper. A good thing for TRU, but also good for the collectors who want to keep the main line for the original stuff. Check out the recent images mirrored below. I’ve also included some past pics that are of higher quality, just to give a good reference point.
Thanks again to WildWeasel from The Terror Drome for the scoop.

Gyre-Viper of the HissTank forums has taken some pictures of the upcoming SDCC Exclusive Destro figures and posted them online at HissTank.com. The images show some nice detail, and I especially love the 3-piece suit on James McCullen…it was done exceptionally well. I can’t wait to see what a Tomax and Xamot head look on it, not to mention the potential for future Dr. Venom customs.
Great stuff from Hasbro, especially for an exclusive. I’m going to try like hell to get me some of this!

Two great tastes that taste great together… Resolute and Sigma 6! The perfect marraige.
All credit goes to Jsalwen from JoeBattleLines, who stepped up and took to the sewing machine to blend the Sigma 6 universe and the Resolute universe in a way I’ve only dreamed of…and produced this amazing Sigma 6 Resolute Destro! Check out the thread here, and drool over the hand-sewn greatness below.

GeneralsJoes has gotten our mits on the unreleased G.I. Joe: Resolute Destro and has posted a review here! Tons of images and detail for what is one of the coolest Destro figures I’ve seen in a long, long time.

Sicdunbine has posted some new images of the upcoming Destro 2-pack available exclusively at the San Diego ComicCon this summer. These pictures are very nice loose images with accessories. This two pack looks… stellar. Absolutely fantastic.
I really hope that this suited look gets translated to a more accessible figure at some point down the line, as it just looks about as perfect as it can get. I am absolutely in awe over how this figure came out. So far, the two versions of Destro we’ve seen have been among my favorite Rise of COBRA figures yet. Incredible!
Anyway, check out the images below.
