Frequent GeneralsJoes contributor cmderinchief has himself a brand-spanking new EVO Smartphone and has been abusing it by filming himself. Luckily for us, he only films himself doing toy reviews… he posted an SDCC Sgt. Slaughter review a while ago, and now follows up with not one, not two, but FOUR new video reviews for various upcoming or recently released items, including the Pursuit of Cobra Wave 2 Dusty, Wave 1 Alley-Viper, and the two Resolute 7-Packs.
Check out the embedded YouTube goodness after the jump.

Well, so to speak. Some of the more popular items are sold out, like the Alley-Viper, chase Cobra Commander, and Firefly, but besides those, they have nearly everything else in stock and shipping now!
Wave 1 figures, the Mech Suits, Alpha vehicles, Bravo vehicles… hit up the Pursuit of Cobra section now!

The guys over at Fighting 1:18th have hit the ground running at SDCC and have let me know about a couple of great galleries they’ve got hosted over on their site. These guys know how to take some great pictures.
Check out the links below to hit up their galleries and get a sneak peek at what G.I. Joe toy displays Hasbro has up at Comic-Con:
Big thanks to Paul for the heads up!

GeneralsJoes commentor and owner/admin of JoeDios.com Hammerfel was in attendance at SDCC and asked the Hasbro designers about this new color pallet for the HISS that was seen at preview night last night. This is what he reports:
“Slight trick of the light. I was there. Please see this pic.

It’s supposed to be gray. Not brown, not black, gray. I spoke to the designer about it and I will post a thread on JoeDios.com about the new HISS and its future soon. the designer asked me to pas on word to the Joe Community. Rest assured BROWN was not the intent.”
So yes, it would certainly appear that there is going to be some sort of running change with the HISS Tank from brown to either gray or black. Hey, I’m a big fan of the HISS as it is, but a change to a more gray (or black… please?) color scheme would only make it that much better. A huge thanks to Hammerfel for the updated information. He’s got some great images of SDCC Preview Night over at JoeDios as well, so keep your eyes peeled there.

So as I filter through the pictures coming out of SDCC from Toy News International, something strikes me.
The Pursuit of Cobra HISS seen here.
That thing is black. Like totally black. Like just how the fan’s wanted to see it totally black. Very interesting. Running change? Another release? Trick of the light? Hopefully folks attending SDCC can get us some answers.
