Codename:News round-up, 11/20/08
–New G.I. Joe 5-packs on the way “[...] bringing characters back to the fold that new collectors may have missed the first time around” including Snake Eyes. Did anyone miss Snake Eyes? I don’t even collect G.I. Joe and I own Snake Eyes. Looks like it’s a different sculpt, though.
–2008 “Worst Toys” List They’re all just toys with safety issues–talk about boring! I miss Reverend Rose’s list of “warped toys” that will condemn your soul to eternal torment.
–Figures.com has a Gears of War toy giveaway going on. You’ll be able to enter once the site finishes loading tomorrow morning (seriously, the ads on that site are out of control). On a side note, can anyone tell me where the series 2 Marcus has more articulation than the series 1 fig?
–CornerStoreComics is having a big sale on DC Direct figures.
–With the economy sliding down the tubes this year, there are going to be more than a few kids going without toys under the Christmas tree. Do your part by donating to Toys for Tots.

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLame… why do we need more Snake Eyes? If people wanna go out and buy copies of toys they already own, let ‘em. Cobra Cmndr. gets a cape… Lady Jaye loses the hat, the Viper gets a chrome face shield, and Shipwreck gets a new bird… whoopie…
I’ll have to pick up the Michaelangelo Ninja Attack thing for my nephew… I bet he’d love it.
Whats wrong with a giant Giga Ball? Maybe kids want to pretend they’re Wayne Coyne!

@PT–If I have to Wikipedia your name-drop, it’s not funny
OK, maybe it’s a little funny.

The new Snake Eyes is a propper 100% 25th anniversary figure of the 2nd version of Snake Eyes from 1985, this time in the proper colours and not a dark purple like the Pyramid of Darkness dvd boxset (which thankfully I did not get), also I only have Shipwreck so in getting this set I can get Hawk, Flint and Lady Jaye.

Yeah, I have one very different version of Snake Eye’s, so the box set is worth it for the other improved versions of characters.
