So I got a pleasant surprise when I strolled into Toys R Us today...they had a HUGE display of "G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra" movie figures! Vehicles, figures, 3 3/4 inch, 12 inch the whole shebang!
They didn't have Storm Shadow, Snake Eyes, Duke, Destro or Cobra Commander in the 3 3/4 inch figures
Which kinda blew..I did pick up Heavy Duty in Reactive Armor, Ripcord in Accelerator suit, two of the Desert Vipers and that bad ass Hummer vehicle with Nitro Viper.
Honestly these figures are SOOOOOOO AWESOME!!!
t: I REALLY DO HOPE that the movie turns out to be somewhat tolerable it'll make me like the figures even more.
I cannot wait to get the rest of them....I did notice how Hasbro friggin' repainted a bunch of figures and tried to pass them off as Rise of Cobra figures (like the Croc Master with that Armadillo vehicle which pisses me off because I KNOW that vehicle is in the movie but Hasblow did a really cheapass move not making a new figure for the vehicle...bah!)
The other thing is too that knowing Hasbro's past they usually come out with figures in droves but as time goes on they obviously want to milk it for all its worth and get as much $ as possible so they will come out with figures that look 100 times better than the 1st figures to come out....
..anyways...enough complaining---I'm having a blast with the figures I got and highly recommend them!
