Over the past couple of weeks, eBay watchers have spotted some strange new Storm Shadow figures cropping up for sale from overseas. Dubbed the “Storm Shadow Forever” figures, the two COBRA ninja’s are deco’d in vac metal silver and gold, complete with a nice, official looking COBRA sigil. Make no mistake about it, these are not official items, but they’re at least unique in their own way.
Friend of GeneralsJoes, cmderinchief (from Coil Club and JoeBattleLines, naturally… :shifty: ) got his hands on a pair of these and took some very cool pictures. Check out the thread on JBL here, or check out the images mirrored below. Not for everyone, I don’t think, but pretty neat, just the same.

I’ve always wanted to use the word “plethora”… :shifty:
Over the past 24 hours, new images of Rise of COBRA figures have started popping up all over the ‘net. The more I see these movie figures, the more I’m starting to fall in love with them. Check out the following links for some new images that you might enjoy:
Sgt. Stone is quickly becoming one of my favorite new figures…he makes a much better Flint figure than Flint does! Thanks to HissCommander of The Terror Drome, kingsurly crab and jumper11 from HissTank.com!

Coincidentally enough, this was originally reported on April 1st, so fearing an April Fools’ Day prank, nobody really reported it as an accurate story, but proof seems to have come out confirming that HissTank forum member slowrey has stumbled upon Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow from the upcoming Rise of COBRA action figure line at a local Wal-Mart in Maine, of all places.
Take the news with a grain of salt, and keep in mind this is more likely a mistake than a trend, but apparently, at least two Rise of COBRA action figures have hit the states in mass retail. Whether more will start trickling out is anyone’s guess, but official “street date” isn’t until July. However, this board member has supplied HissTank with photos of the receipt and the two figures in question.
We’ll keep you posted.

No, they’re not official, but they are neat little items, even if they do appear to be knock-offs. eBay seller shashentao has posted an auction for what appear to be vac-metallized “chrome” Storm Shadow figures in silver and gold. These are not official items, but they are a pretty neat eye-catcher for anyone’s collection.
They appear to be fully poseable, though, being knock offs, there are always some questions about durability.
