Walmart “Rise of Cobra” figures listed… sort of…

Posted on by

walmartRemember 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.)

  • Gung Ho vs. Copperhead
  • Shockblast vs. Night Creeper
  • Tunnel Rat vs. Monkeywrench

    2009 Collector's Convention

    This just in…

    Today’s Hasbro panel showcased additional stores exclusives as well as some Fall 2010 figures!  (Training Duke, Shadow Tracker, and Beach-Head).  Also posted are pics of Snow Job, Zartan, and Arctic Storm Shadow.   Also (because Werecat demanded it), I’ve added some more vehicle pics to the 2009 Convention page.

    Check out all of the convention coverage on the 2009 Convention page!

    2009 Collector's Convention

    After a whirlwind presentation from Hasbro this afternoon, the first pics of the new 2010 product have been posted on the 2009 Convention page.  Multiple galleries have been added including pics from the Hasbro 2010 presentation, new RoC figures, new RoC vehicles, and the forthcoming store exclusives.

    Start saving those pennies now, Joe Fans– it’s going to be an expensive year full of what is, in all honesty, some of THE best Joe product I’ve ever seen!

    Scott just sent in these photos of the “Attendee bonus” item– a recolored Fang helicopter that is piloted by Glenda in the comics.  It’s looking like it’s an “all international” cast for the Joes this year.

    Also, the following items will be available at the con this year, according to Scott:
