Ten- Hut!
Listen up Maggots. This week marks the return of the SDCC July 22-25 and the two versions of Sgt Slaughter will be there. For those of you that can’t wait to see what these figures look like Thanks to the fine folks at Hasbro and Hunter PR you won’t have to head over to Check Point Alpha and check out my review.

SDCC 2010 Exclusive is… SGT SLAUGHTER!!
After the lackluster performance of last year’s “Rise of Cobra” themed set, it seems that Hasbro is returning to an exclusive with a much more wide-spread appeal:
Sgt. Slaughter as 2010 Exclusive!
With the cross-over appeal to the wrestling fans as well as the long-time Joe fans, I’m forseeing a sell-out on this particular exclusive akin to the “Convention Destro” from a few years ago.
RoC Walmart exclusive Ninja Battles set out!
Last night, during an impulse toy run prior to beginning “Turkey Day” preparations, I spotted the Walmart-exclusive “Ninja Battles” set at my local store. (Pekin, IL for those of you in the area.) They were stocked in abundance with at least 12 units on the shelf– three times what remains of the exclusive Battle Stations in this particular store.
For those of you who are interested– they’re out!
New Big Lob images posted at the Collectors’ Club
The G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club have posted new pics of their upcoming Big Lob exclusive. You can get more information at the following link: http://gijoeclub.com/clubexclusives10.cfm#biglob.
Early looks at Monkey Wrench & Tunnel Rat and TRU’s Bench Press!
Cmderinchief returns from his temporary reprieve with more pictures of figures that are soon to be hitting store shelves! Showcasing retail exclusives for both Toys R Us and Walmart, this two-pack and single-carded figure are sure to make fans of the “Rise of Cobra” era giddy with delight– or at least put a slight dent in their wallets.
- Monkey Wrench vs. Tunnel Rat (Walmart)
- Bench Press (Toys R Us)
Walmart “Rise of Cobra” figures listed… sort of…
Remember the end of “Raiders of the Lost Ark”? The final scene where the Ark is crated up and hauled off into a seemingly endless warehouse full of other boxes- apparently never to be seen again?
Such is the fate of the “Rise of Cobra” two packs on Walmart.com. They don’t show up under the “action figures” or “G.I. Joe” categories and they do not show up if any of the character names are searched.
Thanks to our sister-site GeneralsJoes.com, we at least have links to the sold-out products. (They were in stock for all of one day.)
