Pursuit of Cobra Pre-Production Snow Job reviewed!!

Big props to regular contributor Mysterious Stranger, who has come through nicely to fill a little hole in my Pursuit of Cobra Pre-Production review page.  To this point I hadn’t yet picked up the Arctic Threat Snow Job figure, just because I couldn’t quite figure out if I needed it early or not.  The more I see of it, the more I’m convinced I probably do.  I’ll wait until I get a closer look at it during Toy Fair to make my final judgement.
At any rate, Mysterious Stranger got his hands on one and was cool enough to do up a very nice review for me, and it’s posted right here!

Pursuit of Cobra retooled Ghost Hawk images online

We’ve seen a few pictures already, but Troynos from HissTank.com has posted a load of updated images for the mysterious retooled Ghost Hawk that recently leaked.  The origin or the potential release date of this item are not currently known.  It’s entirely possible that this item may not even see release, but it’s at least cool to check out.  Those retooled engines and stabilizers are pretty awesome, I think.  A whole lot cooler than the original design in some ways.  I dig it.

More G.I. Joe Q & A's updated…

As the weekend progresses, more Joe sites are reporting in with their Q & A answers, and I’ve updated the Q & A Page to reflect that.  I also can’t thank the guys from The Terror Drome enough, as they also toil through the weekend to gather all the links and info together as well.
These updated Q & A’s haven’t had a whole lot of new revalations, but still some interesting tidbits about the new packaging designs and the potential of seeing monstrous creations in the line going forward…  also, Hasbro mentioned that the Jurassic Park items we’ve seen are just shared tooling libraries, and NOT a planned combination with any other brand.
Thanks as always to Hasbro for answering the fan’s questions!

Round 1, 2010 Q & A Recap…what did we learn?

It’s probably a bit early to go over this already, considering several sites still haven’t posted their responses, but I did update my Q & A page with all of the replies so far…and as I said with my own answers, Hasbro’s candor was refreshing this time around.  Sure, there was a healthy dose of market-talk and beating around the bush, but we actually found some good stuff out as well!  These are the highlights that I’ve found on my quick perusal on a Friday night…  hit the “Read the Rest of this Entry” link below to get my thoughts on some of the more relevant information from this round…
