Sideshow 12″ COBRA Commander preview picture

sideshow.gifSideshow Toys has posted a preview picture of their upcoming 12″ COBRA Commander figure on their website here.  It’s a small picture, only from the chest up, but what can be seen looks pretty incredible.

Evidently drawing some serious inspiration from the G.I. Joe: Reloaded series, COBRA Commander comes decked out in his classic hood and nicely layered black trench coat.  An amazing looking figure…but will it be worth the hefty price tag?  Discuss this in our forums!

Also make sure to keep your eyes peeled to JBL all this week as Sideshow promises to reveal more details at SDCC, and we’ll make sure to have the news here!

docprofile.jpgWe’ve received some more information about the second run of Doc figures that are being pushed out right now to meet the incredible demand of mail away requests.  There have been some fan concerns about the possibility that these Docs would be different than the initial run or that there may still be some folks who cannot get the figure.  The updated info we have is:

1 - The second run of Docs will be the same as the first in packaging and design.

2 - The deadline for getting your figure is still August 31st.  While we certainly recommend that you not delay, you do still have some wiggle room for sending in your forms.
