The 2010 Comic-Con Exclusive Sgt. Slaughter Figures Revealed!

Posted by WildWeasel on Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Over at GeekWeek they have revealed the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con exclusive G.I. Joe figure, Sgt. Slaughter! The figure will come in two variations, one will be paying homage to the mail-away version of Sarge and the other paying homage to the version that came with the Triple T. So what do you think? Did Hasbro due Sarge justice? Aside from the hat not being removable, I have to say the “variant” version looks pretty good.

While the primary figure and the variant figure each come equipped with a whistle and non-removable hat, there are also special accessories exclusive to each version.

The PRIMARY FIGURE will include a belt, baton and microphone.

The VARIANT FIGURE is packaged with a machine gun and revolver.

“Attack on Cobra Island” 7-Pack Recondo Review

Posted by WildWeasel on Saturday, October 10th, 2009

reviews-coffee Terror Drome staff member joshdahl brings us another fine review. This time he is reviewing Recondo from the online exclusive “Attack on Cobra Island” 7-Pack. What seemed like a “book end” to the 25th Anniversary, Hasbro gave us a 7-pack filled with some fan favorites and Recondo was very high up on everyone’s list. So what does Josh think of it? How does the figure hold up?

Recondo has always been a fan favorite. He’s a specialist in an environment where we all liked to have missions. He’s like Snow Job, but you can use him more often. Just look at your “Original 13″ Joes. The are almost all wearing green. They are dressed for jungle missions, not arctic missions. And who do they call on for those missions? Recondo!

Custom “RoC” Inspired Glenda & Cobra de Aço By Carnage717

Posted by HissCommander on Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

TerrorDrome member Carnage717 has posted some great re-imaginings of the classic Argentinian Glenda figure, as well as the highly sought after Brazilian Cobra de Aço. Both figures were given a Rise of Cobra theme, making for some very imaginative and original creations. Glenda is a mixture of a few figures including Helix and Baroness, and the de Aço is a clever repaint of the Delta 6 Accelerator suit. In addition to the visual re-imaginig, the de Aço was given a nice back story explaining his “souped up” appearance.
