I picked up the Ice Viper and New Scarlett (armor version) last night. I love them both but the Ice Viper's right hand sheered right off of his arm. The socket yanked the nub off due to the rubber being so soft. I super glued it back on so I lost that point of articulation but I still have a rockin' figure. He is a great addition to my Cobra Arctic Forces!

 

I'm actually digging a few of these a bit.

Shipwreck was easily my favorite so I picked him up first. Also grabbed the Neo Viper and the Viper Commander or whatever it was called.

Still looking for the Elite Viper, Ice Viper, and the good looking Scarlett.

Tempted by the Mole Pod and Night Raven. And might pick up a few others. I feel I am warming up to this a bit more now.

 

I too am really liking that Shipwreck. I plan on picking that figure up when the TRU sale starts.

 

Any truth to the rumor that there's going to be a sale this weekend at TRU?

My interest level in the movie is pretty much ZERO, but some of the toys are pretty nice looking. Even the dull ones get extra credit for the insane amount of accessories you get. I'm thinking of picking up that Drill set this weekend.

Edit note: That post above mine wasn't there when I posted this! Sorry! Any details about the sale?

 

Oh snap theres a TRU sale coming up?

When is that? What are the details? I will wait to buy the rest of the stuff I am looking at if it is coming up soon.

 

IIRC, starting this Sunday, figures are 2 for $10.

 

GI JOE THE RISE OF COBRA 12" COBRA COMMANDER FIGURE - eBay (item 170357352556 end time Aug-11-09 11:29:16 PDT)


This is the first i have seen the Cobra commander 12in

 

That's fantastic. Thank you for the info.

Too bad there isn't a cool sale for vehicles too.

 

There is a sale for vehicles on right now. I think next week's sale has a discount on one of the vehicle scales too, not the $25 scale but one of the other scales, Alpha maybe.

 

How's the mole pod, anyway? I'm thinking of getting it on sale.

 

It isn't new. I have seen these at three Targets in my area.

 

I like it quite a bit. The Tera-Viper is a cool combination of 25th Croc Master and Serpentor that turned out surprisingly well. The only thing I don't like about the Mole Pod is that the missle is the same color red as the interior, but a little silver paint should fix that right up.

 

That's funny, I was thinking Croc Master when I was looking at the Terra Viper.

Yes I need to get that.

 

Nice and Shiny! thanks Nightwind. Gonna get one this week  

 

Speaking of the Mole Pod, I picked one up earlier tonight.

In addition to the Pod, I also got the following:

Destro
Scarlett (black suit)
Ice Viper

 

Is there a place for reviews? I am not so into GI Joe but I would like some of theses new ones. I rather not make a new account at Hisstank since I am not big on Joes at all.

 

GeneralsJoes.com does some reviews.

 

I got the Nightraven and yes I opened her up, she really isn't that bad, but she does fit in with the Valor vs Venom vehicles, more so then rehashed RAH ones. Also it looks so much better leaving off all the M.A.R.S. stickers and putting the other ones on, a lot of stickers are based on the original's too,
