We’ve known about the exclusive RHINO w/ Rampage for a long time, and many folks have made the connection between the driver and the old school Heavy Metal, but very few really clear images have come out of the RHINO driver to compare. Well, that’s all changed.
Werecat, an administrator over on JoeSightings has posted some excellent images of the recently released Rampage figure. It is astounding how Hasbro can mix and match fairly common parts and come with with such an amazing looking new character. This figure looks terrific, and looks quite close to the vintage counterpart. I’m still not going to pay $55.00 for the RHINO, but now I can at least salivate over Werecat’s pictures for a little while. Check out the images mirrored below.
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:
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!
Well, the Colosseum online store is what you’re looking for. They’ve got the musical score for sale here, and bundled in with that are four preview clips you can listen to! Very moody, but high quality stuff…not cheesy at all, and very atmospheric.
It was pretty obvious from the first preview we saw that Sideshow’s next 12″ offering was going to be the G.I. Joe Top Sergeant, Duke. Well, Sideshow Collectibles confirms this today with a great look sneak preview!
Pre-orders begin July 31st, don’t miss it! And while you’re at it, take a chug of this delicious Heavy Water…
