The upcoming 1:18 scale F-14 by JSI is one of the holy grails for 1:18 scale collectors, and I almost missed seeing it at SDCC 09! Read More »

Hello everyone... I'm reporting in with my brief notes on the 2009 SDCC Hasbro G.I. Joe panel. One of my friends "forgot" to get in line while I was at the Hasbro Toy Shop booth so we got to sit all the way in the back, which was fine as Hasbro really had a poor showing as far as Audio/Visual material. I got a few pictures but they turned out bad, and were very uninspiring. Read More »

So when I got to the SDCC today, I of course went immediatly to buy some con-exclusives from the Hasbro toy booth.. but they stopped taking new people in line. Boo. So then I went to check out the G.I. Joe section of the Hasbro booth and I was WOWED by the Diorama they had set up in the middle of the area. It showcased all of the currently released and coming soon figures. They had a bunch of different setups, and they were all really well done. Read More »

These two figures were shown off at the San Diego Comic Con 2009 in the Hasbro HUGE diorama display. They will be "officially" announced tomorrow at the panel, but the designers stuck them in the booth today as a sort of "easter egg". Read More »

Hurray! I have landed! After a grueling 4 hour drive, me and my compadres made it to San Diego for our annual trek to Comic Con. We are going to get our passes and see some “preview night” stuff tonight in a little bit, and I will try to update this post as I can throughout the week with new photos and info I can dig up. Sure you can find almost all this info on other sites, but I will make sure to deliver it with my snarky wit and … photogenical talents 🙂 Look, I even managed to capture a photo of a Marine AH-1W Super Cobra in the wild… Not bad for 75mph on the freeway! Also: Be sure to chime in and join the raucus event that is our forums in the Official Fighting 1:18th Liveblog!! Read More »

The PIT Commando is another highly anticipated addition to the Rise of Cobra figure lineup. Ever since this figure was announced, and pictures started showing up online, people have been clamoring to get their hands on this figure. Read More »

For the Rise of Cobra movie, Hasbro has introduced a 'revamp' of the classic Crimson Guard; the Crimson Neo-Viper. Is this a fitting tribute to the classic "Siegies", or a quick way to cash in on a repaint? Read More »

Of all the Rise of Cobra figures releases thus far, one caught my eye above all others. That figure is the Elite-Viper. Based on an entirely new character design, the figure exuded coolness and attitude. Unlike many of the movie tie-in figures, the Elite-Viper looked like he meant business. Read More »

We would like to take the time out to wish everyone a Happy 4th of July today, wherever you are! Read More »
