Sideshow's posted pics of the Storm Shadow statue now...it's yours for only $299.



Wouldn't personally buy it, but the hooded headsculpt is fantastic!

So somehow I missed that the FSS went up finally on the 10th. I'm a little surprised they didn't send an email out to the members in the club already. Now I wonder what the mystery figure is going to be. Hopefully it's cool.

Time for another did you have this as a kid? Figure edition. I had Scrap Iron and liked playing with him, with his rockets he could do some serious damage to the Joes.

I did not have Scrap Iron. I don't think I have him now either.

I had Scrap Iron. I thought it was cool that he came with that missile launcher and I think that was the thing that made me buy him. Scrap Iron was among my favorite of the Cobra troops. Loved using that missile launcher.

Scrap Iron is such a cool design and so woefully underused. A lot of the Cobra "specialists" should have gotten more time in the comics for sure.

For those of you that would be interested, the owner of the original art to page 1 of GI Joe RAH #1 has posted it on CAF.

Epic. Look forward to owning an iconic piece like this someday.

I need them to make an updated Alpine figure single carded. If I got him, then I would buy Bazooka, but I won't buy Bazooka without having Alpine.

Time for another did you have this as a kid? This one goes out to my co-host Ryan, today we are going to look at Alpine. I had this guy as a kid and loved him on my Joe team.

[jt3fan]

Definitely had an Alpine, he got much more character development on the cartoon.

[Sandman]

I had Alpine and he was one of my most played with figures. Unfortunately I never had Bazooka because I loved the Alpine/Bazooka team on the cartoon. Bob Hope and Bing Crosby. Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. Booster and Beetle. Alpine and Bazooka. That team should never have been broken up.

I definitely had Alpine as a kid. I would put him in my top 10 favorite Joe figures I played with as a kid. He was awesome. I'm actually thinking about asking Shannon Gallant to draw him for me for Baltimore.
