Over at JoeBattleLines, Alexx continues to pump out the “Alexx Shorts” which are quickly becoming less short and more full-fledged reviews. He’s started diving more headlong into the Pursuit of Cobra stuff, which I’m psyched to see. Below I’m mirroring some of his great images with links to the reviews themselves on JBL. Some very cool stuff.

I gotta say that Pursuit of Cobra Storm Shadow is really growing on me. He was one of the weak links when I first saw him, and to an extent, I suppose he still is, but I find myself really drawn towards the middle eastern design of his uniform, and those weapons are sick. I’ve got one in the wings, prepping to review it, I find myself really looking forward to doing it now, more than I was previously.

The guys over at JoeBattleLines recently held a custom contest encouraging folks to think “outside the box”. The rules were a bit different…folks signed up for the contest, and THEN were told which character they were doing a custom of. The results were unique to say the least, though every entry was fantastic.
As part of the prize for winning the contest, I promised to feature the first place winner here on GeneralsJoes, and I’m happy to do it.
The winner of the contest is Yoho Joe, with his entry the “Wild West Storm Shadow” and it certainly exemplifies thinking “outside the box”. Check out the mirrored images below:

Joining the ranks of my G.I. Joe: Resolute reviews, the infamous sword brothers Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow have now been reviewed! See how they stack up on the G.I. Joe: Resolute Review page.

So a short while ago, GeneralsJoes contributor Hawkwinter sent me an assortment of awesome pictures of the upcoming Pursuit of Cobra figures…specifically Spirit and Alley-Viper. Included in these images are carded pics, file card, accessories, and the insert that comes in the package. Very cool stuff.
Of course it was in the middle of my busy stretch, so I didn’t get it posted until…well… right about now:

But while on the topic of the Alley-Viper, and new Pursuit of Cobra figures in general, I gotta give some serious props to The Terror Drome, who continues to update “Scoop’s Dark Room” with some awesome images of upcoming figures. This time they gave us Alley-Viper, Snake Eyes (Desert Battle), and Storm Shadow (Desert Battle). Great images and some very revealing details that have not yet been seen. Really cool stuff.
Some images are mirrored below, but you should absolutely check the source as well.

The day is coming… hope everyone’s ready! Once August hits we get inundated with Pursuit of Cobra, and the PoC joy should carry us right into the fall and hopefully Renegades appearing on The Hub. After a quiet first half of 2010, things are looking up. I’m psyched!
Huge thanks to the Terror Drome, and of course Hawkwinter as well for sharing my unhealthy obsession with the Pursuit of Cobra and sharing those images as well.

Looks like Hasbro is making up for some lost time. After a few months in limbo, a couple of days ago, we got a short Scarlett spotlight, which was the first Operation: HISS update we’d gotten in quite a while. Now this morning, it would appear that even though Hasbro hasn’t posted them on their site yet, MonkeybarTV.com has Episodes 4 and 5 posted for the animated series that has gotten quite mixed reviews.
Well, not so mixed. Pretty much just bad. But hey! Look! It’s Agent Helix!
Seriously, this is obviously made for kids…not much money invested in it…and not a whole lot of emotion either. But it’s always cool to see Joe characters come to life on screen, and I can’t help but smile seeing Helix running around alongside Snake Eyes in animated form. Check out the episodes at the links below. These actually have a nice little helping of action…and yes, it’s quite obvious they’re simply using the video game models to make these, but hey, I guess it’s something, right?
