NEWS FROM TOYFARE! - Sunstreaker - 02-12-2011 07:21 PM
Allegedly the GI Joe SDCC figure this year will be a brand new remolded Sky-Striker, painted to resemble...
STARSCREAM!
Apparently with Cobra Commander as pilot!
Re: NEWS FROM TOYFARE! - Sunstreaker - 02-12-2011 07:25 PM
UPDATE!
The Commander is going to be packing a silver and black Walther...
No confirmation on whether it will be just the pistol, or have the stock, barrel and sight yet.

Yeah, I read this too. My first thought was that Ghosty would be broke. :lol:
Re: NEWS FROM TOYFARE! - Sunstreaker - 02-12-2011 10:57 PM
I think it's gonna be pricey too...
Rare as hell too - everyones going to want one - Joe and TF fans. Very Ltd. Numbers as well apparently.

Does sound epic!

The pictures of it look good, but it's specifically for the cross-over fans, I very much doubt that people just into Transformers will be fussed about it.

SDCC Galactus was running to $120+ last year so I can't see this being less. Definitely one that'll climb in value I think so worth trying to get sooner rather than later.

man i need this thing
Re: NEWS FROM TOYFARE! - Sunstreaker - 02-15-2011 10:53 PM
I'll be getting a fair few Skystrikers as well...
CC in Starscream will be leading my Cobra Airforce, and I'll be needing a substantial fleet of Joe-fighters to stand against it...
Current Cobra Airforce count;
C.L.A.W. :: 13
Crimson Hydra :: 6
Firebat :: 6
F.A.N.G. :: 6
Gunship :: 1
Jetpack :: 1
J.U.M.P :: 6
Night Raven :: 4
Sand Serpent :: 1 (en route from eevil-bay...)
Trouble Bubble :: 7 (my 8th is red and in the post!)
Rattler :: 1 (when Botty ships her!)
Python X30 :: 2
Re: NEWS FROM TOYFARE! - Starscreams_Ghost - 02-19-2011 09:17 AM
yup I'm going for 2 of these regardless of cost
luckily the joe fans are not that bothered as they want the normal skystriker more
Re: NEWS FROM TOYFARE! - Sunstreaker - 02-19-2011 02:55 PM
I think you're still gonna see a lot of chase on it from Joe fans. The Sky-Striker's going to be general release. We'll all have 6 of those... but folks will be going crazy for the Cobra Parachute and the mini-megatron.
On another note, the Techno-viper that's coming out this year comes complete with...
A CONE!

(Nods to HiSStank for having all the photo's - give em a drop-by if you're a Joe-Fan!)
I'm gonna need to get 12 so my Cobra's can cone stuff off...
Re: NEWS FROM TOYFARE! - Starscreams_Ghost - 02-19-2011 03:04 PM
I'm thinking of picking up a flagg and doing a rather absurd tidalwave custom for skystriker versions of the 6 seekers to sit on
Re: NEWS FROM TOYFARE! - Starscreams_Ghost - 02-19-2011 03:07 PM
I'm thinking StormShadow piloting Ramjet
Wild Weasel for Thrust
Destro for Skywarp
Viper In Thundercracker
Dr Mindbender in Dirge
