I know there’s been some dead time with the reviews, but I’ve got a bunch in the hopper that I’m just going to kind of get out there whenever I can. First up are reviews of the Toys “R” Us Headquarters for Heroes Bench Press and Snow Serpent. I expected to love Bench Press (and did), but the Snow Serpent took me a little bit by surprise. Check out both reviews at the Rise of Cobra review page, or the links below.
I had promised to get these posted last week, but Thanksgiving events postponed that somewhat…but better late than never, right?
Over in the Rise of Cobra Review Section I’ve posted reviews for both recently released Toys “R” Us Exclusive Troop-Builder 5-Packs:

The guys over at The Terror Drome have dug up a very nice image of the upcoming Toys “R” Us Exclusive Pursuit of Cobra Doc and Shipwreck (Arctic Threat) figures. It’s assumed these two figures will be part of the third wave of Toys “R” Us exclusive “Headquarters for Heroes” assortments. Check out the images mirrored below.

Love that Doc. Really colorful, but also has the familiarly colored pants that kind of bring it back to the vintage look at least a little bit. I dig it.
Werecat over on JoeBattleLines has posted a pretty nice in depth look at some ways to get a more character-accurate version of Repeater out of the recently released Toys “R” Us Troop Builder 5-Pack.
Some nice little part swaps over some great opportunity for expanding the Joe roster. Check out the thread right here, and some images are also mirrored below.
“Good news for those of you out there who were upset at Repeater’s needless race change. As it turns out, it’s a very easy fix to make him true-to-form, and give us a simple but effective LBC Hardball as a bonus. The only catch, is, you’ll need to buy two ‘Joe sets.
Repeater and Footloose share the same body, just with different flesh color. So if you have an extra Footloose, you’ll have a Repeater body with Caucasian skin tone. And you don’t have to worry about a proper Repeater head. Hasbro already helped us out on that angle! The extra Zartan head very much harkens back to White Repeater, because it has the patrol cap and black hair. So simply stick this head on the Footloose body, and you have an instant Repeater. You can even keep the same web gear, as it’s similar enough to the original figure in design.”
