ACToys.net continues to be a great source of pictures for upcoming items, this time giving us some nice looks at the upcoming Defense of COBRA Island Lamprey, and the new Stinger that’s on the way. Check out the Lamprey thread here and the Stinger here, or just peruse all the pics mirrored below.
Over at AcToys.net, acmilan8540 has posted some more pictures of the unreleased 14th wave of G.I. Joe 25th Anniversary figures, and has included some great looking loose pictures of the Resolute Storm Shadow. Check out the images mirrored below, and big thanks to HissCommander of the Terror Drome for the heads up.
We’ve already seen the Battle Damaged B.A.T. and Night Force Falcon, well now two more carded samples of the never-released Wave 14 figures have hit internet in the form of Zap and Resolute Storm Shadow.
Listen…I’ve been singing the praises of Resolute for months now, only to listen to a lot of fans who brushed it aside and only wanted their vintage re-hashes. I hope everyone is watching and listening now… 😉 This version of Storm Shadow looks incredible. Very simple, nothing dramatic, nothing over-detailed, but a simple, basic white-clad ninja with some really nice sculpting and great gear. What else can you ask for? While so many people bemoaned the loss of Zap, Alley-Viper, etc… to me, it was the potential Resolute figures that stung the worst. The vintage fans are getting what they asked for in the form of the COBRA Island 7-Packs. Here’s really hoping that Hasbro has something up their sleeve for these unreleased Resolute figures as well, or that would be a HUGE hole left unfilled. No matter what the future of the Resolute animation is, these designs, these characters, and these interpretations have been amongst the best seen in a long time, and it would be a damn shame if they got left in the dust for a team of 5 guys in the same black armor. Hopefully Hasbro listens to that.
Anyway, thanks to acmilan8540 of HissTank.com as well as HissCommander from The Terror Drome for the info!
Back to class. Ugh.
