High Res Hall of Heroes images at The Terror Drome

HissCommander from TheTerrorDrome.com has posted some very nice high resolution images from the Hall of Heroes series.  While the figures don’t excite me much due to the repetition of parts use and character over-abundance, I gotta say the packaging is freaking beautiful.  It’s tempting to drop some green on them just for the cards alone…very nice.

Details on Wii and DS versions of Rise of COBRA game in latest Nintendo Power

The latest issue of Nintendo Power apparently contains a nice article on the upcoming Rise of COBRA video game being released this summer by Electronic Arts.  It covers both the Wii and DS versions of the game.  While there doesn’t appear to be many differences between the Wii version and the X-Box 360 or Playstation 3 ones, there are sizeable differences between the DS version and all others.
