Sideshow has been breaking it open the past week, with an awesome reveal of the 12″ Firefly (though my opinion seems to be in the minority on that one) and now, the latest installment of the Sideshow Q & A have revealed some awesome information about upcoming G.I. Joe offerings from the high end collectible company.
Is Sideshow going to make a Beach Head or Shock Wave G.I. Joe 12-inch figure?
Yes, Beachhead is development and will be unveiled in early 2010. Shock Wave has just recently graduated to a spot on our line list, but we have yet to begin development.
Sounds like some great stuff in the wings. To me, the coolest thing is that Sideshow seems to be eschewing the same ole same ole typical cast, and is making some efforts to produce figures that would really work in their 12″ format. Some great military specialties, and the potential for some incredible new looks. Can’t wait to see Beachhead next year, and I’m hopeful about Shockwave, too. I’ll admit, I really want to see what they can do with familiar classics like Destro and Zartan, but if they’re going to do G.I. Joe in a military format, they might as well focus on specialties that will look terrific in that larger, more intricate scale. Thumbs up.
Also, don’t forget that Firefly is still on pre-order…check out the banner below to check it out.
Thanks to Mysterious Stranger for the information!

A mysterious countdown clock appeared on Sideshow’s website not too long ago, promising to reveal an exciting upcoming figure, and today they’ve delivered! Though it’s just a glimpse, they’ve posted a pretty cool image of the upcoming 12″ Firefly right here!
With the trademark urban camouflage, and a very cool modern twist, I think this is a figure folks have been waiting for… pre-orders are advertised for November 30th, check out the mirrored image below…
EDIT: Just got the update direct from Sideshow as well! A full blown rock and roll Firefly gallery has been posted right here! Holy CRAP. What a gorgeous looking figure…

In conjunction with Sideshow’s “Spooktacular” event, GeneralsJoes was honored to be able to work with them to give away a free 12″ Cobra Commander from their amazing G.I. Joe toyline. The requirements were simple… just do up a custom of a G.I. Joe or Cobra character in a Halloween theme. But knowing that I alone wasn’t the customizing expert I used to be, I also enlisted the aid of JoeCustoms.com and a hand-picked group of their customizing gurus served as judges to pick the entry that best exemplified what we wanted to see.
There were a number of entries, which I’ve mirrored below:
no images were found
Now, GeneralsJoes and JoeCustoms.com are proud to announce the winner of the Sideshow 12″ Cobra Commander… (Click the “Read the Rest of this Entry” link below)
