The infamous toyssir898 has posted some interesting images of what could possibly be some upcoming vehicles for the Pursuit of Cobra line. Featured in the images are a Joe and Cobra version of a retooled Sigma 6 Iron Hammer, and 2 version of the classic A.W.E. Striker. The Iron Hammercorresponds with the reveal that Hasbro gave us at the 2009 JoeCon. Included with the vehicles is what looks to be Duke(?) and a new version of WildWeasel(?).
Also posted are some prototypes of the A.W.E. Striker that are pretty interesting. If you notice, printed on the hood is “InGen” which was the name of John Hammond’s corporation in Jurassic Park, not to mention the “JP” logo printed on the side. The included figures in the images are also a mystery. They appear to be kit bashed version of the Toys “R” Us exclusive Fire Fly figure. As of right now, none of these images are “official” or “confirmed” by Hasbro, in addition to there being no official information on possible release dates.
Thanks to an “Anonymous” poster on 4Chan we have an image of what might be the card art for Joes to come. As most of us know, The Pursuit of Cobra line has been pushed back by Hasbro with no confirmed release date. Both the vehicle and figure lines were delayed for unknown reasons, but with the recent surfacing of a few POCfigures and vehicles on eBay. And now this image on 4Chan, we are given a nice glimpse of hope that these guys might hit the shelves sooner than later, and with a refreshing new look. As for right now, this card art image is not “confirmed” by Hasbro, and should just be regarded as total speculation. It is pretty cool looking though isnt it?

As 2009 comes to an end, and we officially wrap up the holiday season, it looks like one last gift has emerged just in the nick of time. Thanks to Justin over at GeneralsJoes, and Gyre-Viper of HissTank, we get an early look at some possible “Past and Present” 2-packs as well as possible12″ Rise of Cobra figures. The 2 packs are a mixture of Joes from the mid 2000’s and current Rise of Cobra figures. The 12″ figures, confirmed by Hasbro to be cancelled in 2010, may just be early prototypes of figures that never made the cut. As of right now we have no “official” information regarding these figures. According to GeneralsJoes, the latestGIJCC news letter will be featuring the 2-packs, and will hopefully give us further information on their release. As for now, everything remains to be speculation. Click Here to view more images, and to comment on this latest news.
Marauder “Gun-Runners” is one of those companies you read about from time to time when discussing 1/18th scale military stuff. They offer a wide variety of real-world based weapons and some fantasy. There is also some non-weapon items such as tables, laptops, figure stands and more. I was really unsure of the quality when I first browsed their site, so I placed a small order…and I was hooked. I’ve placed quite a few more orders since then and have been extremely happy with everything I have purchased to date. I figured I would share my thoughts on my latest acquistion from them…the clear IDS (Interlocking Display System) figure stands. Read more & comment on this latest news in the Terror Drome forums »
Terror Drome member Wizard reports that Walmart has marked a lot of their G.I. Joe product on sale, up to 50% off too! He managed to find the Walmart battle playsets marked down to $7.48. He also noted the Walmart “offscreen” 2-packs were $6.98, the Night Raven was $19.99 (or something close to that he says). Also the Action Battlers and Rapid Rollers were marked down to $5 each too. So head on out to your local Walmart and see if you can score any of these great deals. Be sure to let us know what you find at Walmart on sale (or anywhere else) in the forums »
