HISS Tank boards member Gyre-Viper has come through with the 1st images of upcoming G.I. Joe Past and Present figure packs! Hasbro had 1st planned these types of offerings back during the “new sculpt” era of 2002-2006, however it wasn’t until now that this idea started reaching fruition. The Past and Present figure mockup sets shown are
- Duke
- Storm Shadow
- Snake Eyes
- Destro
Also shown are prototypes of currently unreleased 12″ G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra figures. Shown are:
- Storm Shadow in final battle attire
- Duke
- Snake Eyes with web gear
- Cobra Viper Commando repaint

YES THESE ARE REAL. THESE WILL BE (unless cancelled) the next Past & Present sets in 2010.
these are only factory mock-up boxes. No art. I wish I had finished ones to show you. Hopefully since these have surfaced ... that means the finished ones will appear soon. the figures are test shots.
yes these are legit. I expect at least one comment from someone
who doesn't understand the process to say something uneducated
hehehehehheheh.
also pictured are mock ups of some 2010 12" dolls (bare chested somebody scratched me Storm Shadow, Duke in camo, and a nano viper. these are on playdoh stock... for mock ups they just use what they have lying around... I don't collect 12" figures
but I do collect mock ups and how can you pass up Storm Shadow on a Playdoh card back. hahahahaha).
for anyone unfamiliar with the mock up process
mock-up - Definition from the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary
... mock ups are basically a way for companies/distributors/etc to see what a product will look like (before spending money on finished art etc in case something doesn't look right).
I imagine the finished art will look just like the past and present rockslide set art etc. again, I wish I had finished versions to show you. these will have to do until then.
these are gonna controversial for a few reasons.
most notably ARAH purists seeing their old friends on shelves again...but packaged with the new school ROC versions. Also... there's nothing new in these sets... LITERALLY. But a lot of people will love these, especially for their kids... and especially to bridge the gap between the past...
and the present (sorry couldn't resist).
enjoy. (or don't). here's the pics.

Forgive my ignorance, but are those O-ring RAH figures alongside the RoC ones?
Nevermind, the closeups answered my question.
