GeneralsJoes guest reviewer Mysterious Stranger is at it again! Along with the 12″ Sideshow Collectibles figures, he is also covering the 12″ environments. Already reviewing the Cobra Throne, he now turns to the Desert Weapons Cache, which comes with Dusty’s infamous coyote, Sandstorm.
Check out the review right here, and as always a huge thanks to Chris for helping me with these! Good stuff.

As usual, I owe Mysterious Stranger a big thanks (and a beer in New Orleans if he’s there)… Chris is always right on top of the latest Sideshow Collectibles items in a way I only wish I could be, and he donates his time and effort into getting these reviews done for GeneralsJoes.
Next up in line is an excellent review of the 12″ General Hawk!
Check out his great review and images right here. Thanks again, Chris, you rock!

It’s Sideshow Collectibles day!
Hot on the heels of Chad Lawless’ excellent Snake Eyes Polystone statue the always awesome Mysterious Stranger reminded me of another review (combination review at that!) that I hadn’t had a chance to get posted yet.
The Desert Cobra Officer and Cobra Sniper are two similar offerings that Stranger elected to review in one joint review, and it’s another great one!
Check out this latest review right here and again a big thanks to those folks who choose to pitch in with reviews on the site. I am endlessly grateful.

I’ve been on record for a while praising the great items we’ve been getting from Sideshow Collectibles, yet I also must lament the fact that much of it is a bit out of my budget. Thankfully folks like Mysterious Stranger have come through and pitched in with reviews, and now, faithful Twitter friend and GeneralsJoes reader Chad Lawless comes through and supplies GeneralsJoes with an extensive and amazing review of the Snake Eyes & Timber Polystone statue.
I’m not much of a statuary kind of guy, but man… Chad’s review has almost changed my mind. Holy crap this thing looks amazing.
Check out his excellent review right here, and if you like it, hit up the banner below to buy your own!
Thanks again, Chad! If you like what you read here, make sure to follow Chad on Twitter to keep up to date with his Joe opinions!

Okay, first of all, props to Mysterious Stranger for sending me this review… like months ago. :shifty:
Then double props to him for asking me about it a couple of weeks ago. :shifty:
And now, triple props to him for reminding me today that it still wasn’t posted, and that I had promised a review to folks today. Killing two birds with one stone! Anyway, Mysterious Stranger is always the man when it comes to Sideshow Collectibles reviews, and I’m psyched that he does them for the site…even if I forget to post them for a few months.
Check it out below:

While my own Sideshow purchases have been temporarily shelved due to diminishing toy budget, frequent GeneralsJoes contributor Mysterious Stranger is pitching in!

Over the past few weeks we’ve been treated to some great pre-orders on upcoming Sideshow releases…but how about some current stuff that is pretty damn good in its own right?
Sideshow Collectibles currently has Beachhead figures on wait list, and I have posted a review for this excellent figure right here! Check it out!

Yeah, I’m well aware that this figure has been out for a while, and we’ve gotten Flint and Beachhead since he was released…I’m a bit behind the times. But when I had an opportunity to pick up a Sideshow Duke, I decided to jump on it, if only for iconic reasons. At this point I’ve accepted the fact that I’m never going to own every Sideshow figure, it’s just not in the budget. So, for that reason, I figure I have to be choosy and grab the impactful characters. Duke certainly fits that bill.
I’ve reviewed a few Sideshow figures already, Snake Eyes and the Cobra Trooper. I had somewhat mixed results from the two of them, and honestly, Duke totally blows them out of the water. Great articulation, very nice design, awesome accessories…this one is the total package.
You can read the full review right here.

A huge thanks goes out to regular GeneralsJoes contributor Mysterious Stranger for chipping in yet again and getting me a review of the recently released Sideshow Collectibles 12″ Firefly. This figure has caused somewhat of a conflict among the fandom, as it doesn’t very accurately represent how Firefly initially appeared, and certainly takes some liberties with the design scheme in the interest of modern realism.
I think the figure looks great, and I think Stranger agrees.
