So I spent the last 24 hours salivating over a Sideshow Collectibles product (the Cobra Viper) and the fact that Zartan was going to make a re-appearance in G.I. Joe: Renegades. Come in from snowblowing tonight, and all of a sudden it all comes crashing together!
Sideshow has released a “Production Peek” which just happens to feature a look at our favorite Master of Disguise. And it’s a hell of a look.
If that ain’t about the coolest thing… very reminiscent of the classic Zartan, but even more angular and updated. This could be another winner.
I can’t quite fully articulate the level of awesome that this Cobra Viper figure has achieved. The Sideshow Collectibles Production Blog has posted the above images (plus several more) and the pre-order should be live February 24th with the arrival of the Sideshow Collectibles newsletter. Click here to check out all the details, but dammit, let me buy my Sideshow Exclusive when the pre-order goes live!
Oh my.
It’s only a small image, with only a small portion of the figure revealed, but I’m already trying to figure out how I’m going to afford one of these things, much less the 15 or 20 of them that I want. He looks amazing. Of course, I don’t see any goggles on the helmet, but chances are, if past history is any indication, Sideshow will include them somewhere along the line.
More details will be revealed in the Sideshow Production Blog on the 22nd, with pre-orders (wahhh!) starting February 24th. I smell quick sell out. Check out the image below, and check out the page itself right here.
Just as promised, Sideshow has posted the pre-order for the impressive looking “Recovery at Serpent’s Temple” environment set to be used with your 12″ figures. With a jungle theme and a decidedly Aztec ruin in the background, this could fit many figures above and beyond your Joes, but I think Beachhead, Flint, Duke, and Stalker would still look very cool with this set.
