Available now from Sideshow is the Snake Eyes vs Ninja Polystone Diorama statue. This thing is highly details and very cool looking. The $299 (or $294) price tag might be a little intimidating, but Sideshow offers FLEX pay where you can pay in installments. There are two versions/options for this dio statue, the Sideshow Exclusive version which comes with a swappable head to change Snake Eyes to the “commando” version. There is also a “Regular” edition which just comes with the “ninja” Snake Eyes head. So if you are a Snake Eyes fan or a ninja fan, this piece needs to be in your collection!
Also available for a sneak peek from Sideshow is Beachhead! The next in their line of 12-inch G.I. Joe figures, Beachhead will be available for pre-order with the March 4th Sideshow newsletter. So make sure you are signed up for it!
Sideshow Collectibles has revealed that Flint will be next up in their 12″ G.I. Joe line, with pre-orders coinciding with the January 28th newsletter. Sideshow has opted for an older and “grittier” look with the upcoming figure, much like we saw with their 12″ Duke. No official date has been released as to when we can expect this figure, so stay tuned for updates. Click Here to comment on this latest news.
Sideshow Collectibles has posted the answerers to their latest Q&A for the highly popular12″ G.I. Joe line. This time around we learn that Sideshow has plans to finally tap into the female characters of G.I. Joe with future releases of Scarlett, Baroness, and Lady Jaye. We also find out that a new Cobra Commander is in the works featuring the classic helmeted look, as well as some new diorama displays, and that there may be possible changes to the upcoming Firefly figure.
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.

eBay seller crampedcollection has posted an auction for the upcoming12″ Destro figure from the 2nd wave of the Rise of Cobra 12″ figure line. From the picture, it would seem that this figure only comes with a pistol which is a far cry from the accessories we received with the 25th Anniversary 12″ figure. Also in this wave is General Hawk, Reactive Armor Duke, and Heavy Duty.
