Handytoy has posted an auction for Desert Battle Snake Eyes but this one in question is rather different. While at 1st, it may seem like it's just an unpainted preproduction sample, it in fact, is painted and is different from the version shown in preorder solicits and Toy Fair/JoeCon.

This Snake Eyes(Desert Battle) figure in question sports darker paint apps, is molded and darker plastic, and has an unpainted visor. Variant, running change, take your guess after hitting the title bar!

HISS Tank boards member Gyre-Viper has posted all new images of a final production sample of Desert Battle Storm Shadow from the GI Joe Pursuit Of Cobra line. We are less than 2 months away from the scheduled release for the line, and this figure in question should be indicative of what we will get in August, deco-wise.

Storm Shadow(Desert Battle) features numerous weapons, more than any other Storm Shadow figure in recent memory. The Prince of Persia styling lends itself to a fresh new take on the Arashikage ninja who "lives a lie to find the truth". This figure is part of Pursuit Of Cobra wave 1, to catch a glimpse of what's in store for you in August(or maybe even earlier), hit the title bar!

Sister site TFW2005 has posted new images of new, upcoming Transformers from the Hunt For The Decepticons lineup. These deluxe figures are more than meets the eye however, as they may have been influenced by GI Joe designs! This is not the 1st time this has happened however, as Demolishor from Transformers Armada was reformatted into a Snow Cat in Transformers Energon.

When the name Tomahawk came up this year, it was used for the pilot of the Ghost HAWK from the GI Joe Pursuit Of Cobra line. A neat twist, for the Modern Era Ghost Hawk pilot was Lift Ticket, pilot of the original Tomahawk! Before your head explodes, wait, there's more.

The Tomahawk figure pictured here, transforms into a combat helicopter, and looks reminiscent of the Resolute Tomahawk designs. It's not spot on, but it has influences from the original concept design, and final design in the animation. Not only that, but Terradive, is reminiscent of the Conquest X-30, even more so than Space Case of the Cyberjets. *Bear in mind, since Hasbro retains the use of the Tomahawk name by applying it for these figures, it may have been conveniently secured for use on future releases too..say..would you guys like to see the classic Tomahawk helicopter reissued, maybe retooled for GI Joe Renegades or Pursuit Of Cobra?* Hit the title bar to see more!
