eBay seller dreamcab has them listed in his store...

I go through the auction links and make a few corrections on GeneralsJoes as well...

These items are not all as they are listed...

I dunno... The only thing that says Recondo to me is the web gear... Which I don't care much for. Isn't that Roadblock's head?

And I still hate that stupid gunship and telekenesis pilot Firefly.

Considering he's got some VvV protos up as well (see Ghostbear, Night Creeper, etc in this lot)

http://cgi.ebay.com/GI-Joe-3-3-4-figure ... m153.l1262

It's entirely possible that the Sting Raider and Whirlwind are protos leftover from earlier releases.

Check the Whirlwind again and you can see that he has his signature hat.

It almost looks like the figure with the Sting Raider could have a Lamprey helmet

Yes, it is a Lamprey helmet...with tubes. The gun that figure has also has some limb coming off the side. Could be a handle, could be a clip like the Halo-Vipers.


I wouldn't be surprised if the "Silver Mirage" is part of the movie line consdering there are scenes where movie duke is riding a motorycle.

I could definitely see the Whirlwind coming with Recondo as the next wave of vehicles, but then getting moved to the 7 pack when Wave 5 of the vehicles got canned.

The only one I have no idea about is the Firebat. Too much new tooling not to get used. Doesn't look like anything from the movies. Could be part of the same unreleased wave of vehicles as the Whirlwind. Put those with the "Silver Mirage" and the Sting Raider and you got yourself an unproduced wave of vehicles.

This just hit me

almost has to be a Lamprey. Hasn't someone done a similar Lamprey custom?

Yea, but that is definately Roadblock's head, and it looks nothing like the 7 pack Recondo, IMO. I just think it's possible the dude made more mistakes than with just the names of stuff.

And I would have totally bought a Sting Raider with Lamprey...

Look closely and you'll see the "Duke" that comes with the Stingray uses black versions of smSnow Job's arms and legs. Can't tell whose torso is under what appears to be a removable vest, though. Not a bad look for a pilot figure overall.

Yup, which are all qualities of the COBRA Island 7-Pack Lamprey that everyone is talking about as well, so I'm thinking that's pretty much confirmation of that particular figure as well.

I like that motorcycle. Reminds more of the Venom Cycle than the Silver Mirage, though. Thankfully, the bike is in scale.

i think you guys forget the Transformers theory:

" if Hasbro think's it will look like it COULD have been in the Movie, it will find it's way into the line, after all its cheaper for them, and we pay the same price"

I bet all of those are last quarter vehicles.

Said on a few other boards and will say it all again.

Firebat: Warms the shelves at every story I have seen, not sure why, but its definatly lingering. I see no need to grab it when I can get more if I want it.

Whirlwind, Interesting, Definatly something different from the repacks of the rest. I like.

Still don't like that gunship.

Sting Raider was fine the first time around, but I have been sick of rehashes for months, easy pass.

Venom cycle, UGGH I hated that thing first time around, only bought it for the viper. Epic Phail.

Am I the only one getting a bit of a Hurricane vibe from that retooled Firebat?
