NEWS FLASH – New Product Listings from San Diego ComicCon

Posted on by

Sources from within SDCC have reported to JoeBattleLines and GeneralsJoes that there is some great new product being prepped behind the scenes to be displayed in the Hasbro booth at ComicCon!  The biggest and best news is the following:

– A Desert-Themed 5-Pack that appears to include:

  • Zartan (possibly)
  • Law & Order
  • Dial Tone (Female)
  • Repeater
  • Footloose

Other new product has been revealed as the very popular “Battle Stations” from back in  the vintage days.  Some details are fuzzy, but the following battle stations were visible:

  • Surveillance Port (with movie themed Tele-Viper)
  • LAW (that appears to come with Tripwire)
  • MMS in the crimson “SMS” color scheme (that appears to come with Scrap Iron)
  • Outpost Defender (that appears to come with Roadblock…a Roadblock with the Resolute head sculpt!)

Other items, most of which we’ve seen already, included:

  • Target Exclusive RHINO w/ Rampage
  • “Then and Now” Rockslide 2-Pack with Snow Job
  • “Attack on the Pit” 5-Pack
  • Senior Ranking Officer 3-Packs (Stone, Grunt, Speed Metal; Destro, Elite-Viper , Neo-Viper)
  • Target “Rescue Mission” 4-Pack
  • Lava Pod w/ Volcano Viper
  • Tiger Claw w/ Leatherneck (in green!)
  • Rockslide w/ Dusty
  • Dragonhawk w/ Wild Bill

Other mysterious items were floating around as well, like an apparent repaint or variant of “The Doctor” in a white labcoat.

Keep in mind this information is all second hand with no image verification as of yet, but it at least gives us something to go by as we wait for the big reveal on Thursday!

Thoughts from the Admin

According to Wikipedia, the term “eating crow” is defined as follows:

Eating crow (archaically, eating boiled crow) is an English-language idiom meaning humiliation by admitting wrongness or having been proven wrong after taking a strong position.

I’ve never read a more apt description for what I’m about to write in my life.  You see, for the past year I’ve been quite the out-spoken critic of most things related to the Stephen Sommers’ film “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra”.  Like so many personas on the internet, I used my keyboard to loudly and proudly decry the fact that I wasn’t going to participate in the hype that was surrounding what was sure to be one of the summer’s biggest bombs.  I was drawing a line in the sand and I would be passing on the entire line, hype, etc.

One small problem with that: I’m a life-long Joe fan.

New G. I. Joe Rise of Cobra toy listings!!

The Wally ‘puter strikes again. I always trust their listings and they so far haven’t been wrong as far as I remember. (If I am, please correct me!!!) Look at the listings for Marvel Universe a few weeks back. A few new names popped up and they were pretty much confirmed by Hasbro when Fury Files went live.

Also note these listings were more complete compared to other listings. I also can’t confirm they are movie related but I would bet money they are due to just popping up recently. Also they reflect a price increase. Ouch!!!

GI JOE Single figures $7.88
