While the auction isn’t online yet, HissTank.com reports that the Black Sheep Toy Store has supplied pictures of what appears to be an upcoming Rise of COBRA Destro figure, based strongly on how the character appears on screen. Decked out in a nice three-piece suit, and a very Chris Ecclestein like appearence, this is definitely a Destro pulled right from the silver screen. The rumored report from HissTank is that this is a San Diego ComicCon exclusive, but as always, we need to wait for Hasbro confirmation before saying that for sure. Images are mirrored below, courtosy of HissTank.com.

Everyone keep their eyes on the Black Sheep Toy Store on eBay, as it would appear some more new items may be en route to being listed there. HissTank.com came across some new images (or at least larger and clearer images) of various upcoming figures, which usually means they are about to appear up for auction. Many of these pictures have been posted before, but these are much larger versions, so I’m repeating some of them, while getting stuff like Destro up for the first time. Also get some nice pictures of an upcoming Lamprey repaint, that seems almost based on the Python Patrol version from Toys “R” Us back in the day. A very cool look.
God I love that Destro figure. If we don’t see that released somewhere, some how, I may just storm Pawtucket with torches and pitchforks.

Black Sheep Toy Store has expanded his stock from Rise of COBRA to Resolute and Defense of COBRA Island as he added a wealth of potentially upcoming figures to his eBay store. Many of the items seen at HissTank a few days ago are now up for auction with nice, big pictures. Of course those images will be mirrored below.
Check out the G.I. Joe section of his eBay store here.

It’s been a bit quiet on the loose figures front for the Black Sheep Toy Store, but he comes through in a big way today with some new auctions up (with some great images) for the Toys “R” Us Headquarters for Heroes Firefly and Rise of COBRA Cover Girl.
Images of these two very nice looking figures have been mirrored below. That Firefly is the BOMB. He’ll fit in seamlessly with the Resolute universe, especially with this guy’s armor.

As the Black Sheep Toy Store has been uploading new auctions, I’ve been grabbing the high quality images from those auctions, particularly the carded ones. Here I’ve collected all carded images so far, and I gotta say the pics are awesome. In case readers haven’t been able to tell, I’ve been drastically warming up to the movie toys and I’m really enjoying the design aspects of these figures. Granted, I’m a Sigma 6 fan, so…
This isn’t an endorsement of the movie at all, I’m still firmly on the fence about how I think that’s going to turn out, but from a pure toy standpoint, I think Hasbro is doing some awesome stuff with these figures and I think if fans can keep an open mind there will be something for everyone in the months to come. I can’t wait.
