TaoBao seller ilovesw has listed a few new auctions featuring12″ Sgt. Stalker and Gung-Ho figures. As of yet if it remains unknown if these figures will see a release, or if they were cancelled along with the 25th Anniversary line.
Thanks to TaoBao seller ilovesw, who has posted an auction, showing the Sgt. Stonerepaint, Grunt, Speed Metal, Destrorepaint, Neo-Viperrepaint and Elite Viper in their packaging. Previously thought to be TRU Exclusive 3-Packs, we know see on the front of the packaging it says “Senior Ranking Officers“, which have previously been TRU Exclusives. Is this confirmation that this is in fact a correct assumption then? We like to think so, but we’ll wait for “official” confirmation.

TaoBao seller ttfans has an auction for an upcoming Paris Pursuit Snake Eyes figure from the Rise of Cobra line. Nothing new there, but…if you check out the Timber that comes with it, you will notice that it is gray compared to the black we have previously seen. So is this a variant? Or is it just a swap out from the latest G.I. Joe 5-Pack?

Nothing official has been released about these set as of yet.
