Ever since late last year, Wal-Mart computer listings have given us a great rundown of potential product that’s in the pipeline. Most recently it’s led to heartbreak with the announcements that Waves 14 & 15 as well as the latest comic packs and vehicles have all been pushed aside, but as it leads into movie stuff, I think we can start to at least somewhat depend on these listings to give us a foundation of what to expect. Keep in mind, though, as always, these are unconfirmed reports and unconfirmed listings, so take them all with a mammoth sized grain of salt.
Well the “Super Poseable Blog” has reported that Wal-Mart computers have revealed the following information:
GI JOE Single figures $7.88
- 65356944697 Single pack Charbroil
- 65356944698 Night Adder
- 65356944699 Red Fang Ninja

- 65356944701 Nano Viper
- 65356944824 Duke V4
- 65356944825 Single Pack Desert Viper
- 65356944826 Single pack Ripcord
- 65356944827 Storm Shadow
GI JOE Vehicle Assortment $15.97

Some very interesting names in there, most notably Charbroil and Kamakura. I really love the fact that we’re getting some new characters as well… Red Fang Ninja? Night Adder? Looking forward to seeing some more details on those!

Film review website Dark Horizons got a chance to catch a special five-minute screener of footage for the upcoming G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA motion picture. The screener appears to have been a mish-mash of various footage expanded from the Super Bowl teaser with some other new scenes mixed in here and there.
Reports from the site are mixed, labeling it as “…it is what it is. a Stephen Sommers film.” They also describe is as being “as subtle as a sledgehammer”. However they also report that most of the screener was just quick cuts of action scenes, no real dialogue, but I have a sneaking suspicion that’s probably what the movie will end up being as well.
Regardless, some very interesting tidbits, which you can read for yourselves right here. Thanks to Shin Densetsu and Counterpoint of HissTank.com for the information.

It seems like it’s been forever, but the Sideshow Collectibles Snake Eyes figure is shipping now! Some folks at HissTank.com have received theirs already (and have started taking pictures in this thread). Mine will hopefully be here next week or shortly thereafter, and you can expect a full gallery and review once it arrives. I’m really looking forward to it!
And of course, if you feel like pre-ordering Storm Shadow or COBRA Trooper (and want to support the site while you’re at it… :shifty: ) check the banners below:
by generalsjoes | Mar 18, 2009 | G.I. Joe, G.I. Joe Q & A
Didn’t realize until today that The Fwoosh had submitted a Q & A this round, so I updated the Q & A Page (also added the somewhat delayed Figures.com submission). To date, there are a whopping twenty-one sites who submitted questions this round, so there is a nice assortment of information available in those Q & A’s.
Check out the page here.
