In celebration of the big “Launch Day” at Toys “R” Us, cmderinchief from JoeBattleLines has posted a very nice series of images of the two TRU exclusive Headquarters for Heroes figures, Barbecue and Firefly.
It should be noted, these are the only two figures in the assortment, and come in their own case…12 figures, 6 of each. Check out the images below.

As G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA starts hitting retail shelves, expect more and more photos to start popping up…well, one of the more in depth series of images I’ve seen comes courtesy of The Terror Drome’s Dark 5cythe.
He gives it a very nice run down with lots of pictures, including comparison shots between the new and old Night Raven, and pictures of both of the recent Air-Vipers. There are shots of the stickers, the parts, and just about every angle you can imagine.
Check out the full blown review and images here.
On a side note, yeah this thing is a lot smaller than its predecessor, but damn if it isn’t a pretty sweet looking airplane, at least in my opinion. I love the shape, I love the style, and I don’t think the handle gets in the way at all. Very nice.
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.
Word from far and wide across the internet is that Joe fans are having some luck this weekend already in toy scores from Toys “R” Us. Specifically, a couple buddies of mine, Jay and Gary came upon a nice stacked set of shelves at a TRU in Indianapolis. Interestingly enough, there were Firefly and Barbecue “Headquarters for Heroes” figures interspersed throughout the regular releases. So yeah, these appear to be TRU exclusives, but not necessarily separate assortments.
I’m hoping to be able to hit a Target next Tuesday, so hopefully I can share in the brick and mortar goodness… until then, keep hunting and keep talking about it, some of us are living vicariously through you. 😉
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:
