Images have emerged for the upcoming Toys “R” Us 5-Pack Troop Builders, and the Terror Drome has hosted them right here. Of course, I’ve also mirrored them below. It’s looking like the COBRA set is purely a “reissue” set with the Troopers not looking redecoed much at all (besides the Duke/Airborne covert ops figure mixed in there, of course). However, the Joe set is really interesting, sporting a nice new type of camouflage scheme and some great parts re-use. Four new characters to boot. Check out the images below.

Just wanted to post a reminder to folks that Toys “R” Us is re-launching their 2 figures for $9.99 deal tomorrow! Here’s the original post.
Now, considering I have ZERO Toys “R” Us’ within 65 miles of me, if anyone wants to help out with a couple Pit Commandos, Eels, or anything of the sort, I certainly wouldn’t discourage anyone from tossing me a hook up… :shifty:
Go celebrate the movie by buying some toys!

Following up on last night’s promise, madmac41 at GeneralsJoes sister site JoeBattleLines has posted images of the upcoming Toys “R” Us Exclusive single packed Bench-Press figure. We have carded images as well as a picture of his filecard. The character appears to use Rock n Roll’s filename with a brand new character attached to it. For months, Brendan Fraser has mentioned that his character in the Joe film is a descendent of his character in the Mummy…could this be him and not Sgt. Stone?
We’ll all find out in a couple of short weeks.

I know other sites have some pictures up already, and I’m combing through them and picking out the good stuff, but I’m also expecting some images from JoeBattleLines and The Terror Drome potentially tonight as well. But at this point, this is what we know about what was shown at SDCC (or what was peeked at behind enemy lines… :shifty: )
Wal-Mart Exclusive Battle Stations
- Heatseek Missile w/ Scrap Iron and Neo-Viper
- Surveillance Port w/ MARS Trooper
- Laser Artillery Weapon w/ Hawk and Hit & Run (YES!)
- Outpost Defender w/ Tripwire and Roadblock
no images were found
First impressions – I loved these battle stations as a kid, and they still look pretty cool, and I love that they’re coming with two figures. Resolute Roadblock is GREAT, even if he looks different. Love the QuaidHawk. Please don’t tell me that funky green and silver Tripwire with tiger stripes is supposed to be Hit & Run… :/
Toys “R” Us Exclusive Troop Builder Packs
- G.I. Joe “Desert Set” w/ Dial Tone (female), Law & Order, Zartan, Footloose, and Repeater
- COBRA set w/ Unknown
no images were found
Tough to make out a whole lot here, but I’m loving that Joe set. Repeater and Footloose are both winners (yeah, I know, Footloose needs to be in green camouflage, but these paint apps look GREAT, even if they’re not vintage accurate). Female Dial Tone is awesome to see, too, for those of us willing and able to move on from 1986.
Hopefully more to come!

We broke this news a couple of weeks ago, but this is just a reminder that Toys “R” Us will be having a sale on their Rise of COBRA figures during the “Christmas in July” promotion next week, from July 19th through July 25th! An image of the ad (courtesy of HissTank member Dansolo) is below.
