M.A.R.S. Trooper preview figure for sale on eBay
Overseas seller ws_toys comes through again, posting up a Rise of COBRA M.A.R.S. Industries Trooper figure to go along with the previously listed Officer.
I’ve also mirrored the pics below:
I’m not one for jumping on these Asian early birds, but I snagged these two figures. I can’t really explain it, but for some reason I find these two figures appealing, even in their never-ending grayness. The Officer is considerably cooler than the Trooper with all of the layered armor on his arms and legs, but I really love the tooling of both figures. The Trooper’s weapons are pretty much useless, but the figure itself is neat. I think these make for some pretty cool preview figures, though I don’t see myself going overboard on the movie stuff in general. Thanks to Hicks Royel of HissTank.com for the lead on this one.
G.I. Joe Q & A Sessions begin again!
Just in from Hasbro Public Relations… the G.I. Joe Q & A Sessions will be resuming effective immediately!
The next round of questions will be due next Monday by noon, so start getting those brain cells firing. In the past GeneralsJoes and JoeSightings have worked together to get a single 5-pack of questions answered, but starting in 2009, GeneralsJoes and JoeSightings will be able to submit separate entries to maximize the Joe fan’s “bang for your buck”. Of course, this year it looks like the pool of questions has been reduced to “3” per outlet, but I think we still have the best opportunity to get our questions answered by splitting the coverage.
Please use the Comments in this thread to submit your questions, and I’ll pick and choose and we’ll try to uncover whatever info nuggets we can find.
Huge thanks to Hasbro for commiting to this very fan-friendly project for 2009!
EDIT – Just in case anyone didn’t notice above, the question limit for 2009 has been reduced to THREE per outlet. Just something to keep in mind.
New pictures of Rise of COBRA Night Raven
Thanks as usual to TOMmy and cmdrinchief of the Coil Club. Here are some new pics of the upcoming Rise of COBRA Night Raven (even if I’m the only one on the planet who likes it… :shifty: ) …
GamePro’s April Issue heavily features G.I. Joe: Rise of COBRA game
The word from GamePro.com is that their April, 2o09 issue will feature a G.I. Joe devoted cover (click the image to the left to enlarge) and lots of in depth coverage (including exclusive screen shots) for the upcoming Next Gen G.I. Joe: Rise of COBRA video game.
I’ve supplied a gallery of the images in the story below, credit to GamePro.com and henry.gomez of HissTank.com for the story.
Also, make sure to check out my previous article about the upcoming video game for a ton of details about the gameplay, characters, and lots of little tidbits about the game as we get even closer to a Rise of COBRA extravaganza leading up to the film’s release August 7th.
The game is slated to be released July 27th, 2009, and if you want to read all of my articles in regards to the game, check on the Video Game category.
Another item of note (courtesy of a comment from ggpike) is the GamePro site mentions the following tidbit:
“Huge details about G.I. Joe the video game (which picks up after the events of the upcoming film G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra) are revealed for the first time including an in-depth look at playable characters, gameplay details, as well as information on the new G.I. Joe graphic novel and animated show.”
So it looks like we may be hearing something about Resolute in this new issue of GamePro as well. Thanks to George for the heads up!
