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.
A few different interesting 12″ pieces of news today… first of all, the Terror Drome is reporting about some images of a 12″ Stalker and Gung Ho that are very military in nature and really don’t seem to fit into the whole movie aesthetic. Are they figures that were slated for release in the normal line before the Rise of COBRA infusion, or are they still to come? Gung Ho could almost pass for his Resolute/video game version, so that’s something to watch for.

Also discovered by The Terror Drome is Entertainment Earth’s pre-order listing for the first wave of Rise of COBRA 12″ figures, including COBRA Commander. This is the first time ole’ toasty’s been seen in twelve inch form:

Also pictured is the four figure Target exclusive “Rescue Mission” set. Check out the original thread here, and the images mirrored below.

I’ve also added all of the above images to the Rise of COBRA Toy SuperPage in their appropriate places.
OreoBuilder, a member of JoeCustoms.com from Canada has gotten his hands on some Rise of COBRA toys a bit before the rest of us, and has posted some great pictures of the figures. Check out the original thread here, and the images mirrored below.

Thanks to SNAKE EYES from HissTank.com for pointing out some images that are leaking out there of four figures that are being labelled as a Target Exclusive “Rescue Mission” 4-Pack. This pack appears to include:
I’ve mirrored the images below. This info, of course, should be taken with a grain of salt as it is currently unconfirmed. San Diego ComicCon should provide tons of verified information about what’s coming the rest of the year.

Another item of note is another Neo-Viper repaint, this time in black and silver. You can see that image below:
