eBay seller unitedwell923 has posted an influx of eBay auctions featuring some upcoming soon-to-be-released product, and there are some real gems in there including the Resolute Roadblock, Rise of COBRA Airborne, and a Lamprey repaint the seller is calling “Charbroil“. We also get our first peek at the Rise of COBRA Viper Elite.

cmderinchief from JoeBattleLines and the Coil Club has come through with yet another run of pictures from an upcoming Rise of COBRA figure, this time in the form of the Viper Commando. This figure looks to be based strongly on the other COBRA trooper figures we’ve seen from the Rise of COBRA so far, only with a much cooler backpack and some additional gear. I love the head sculpt, too…
Check out the image gallery below!
It’s been a bit quiet on the loose figures front for the Black Sheep Toy Store, but he comes through in a big way today with some new auctions up (with some great images) for the Toys “R” Us Headquarters for Heroes Firefly and Rise of COBRA Cover Girl.
Images of these two very nice looking figures have been mirrored below. That Firefly is the BOMB. He’ll fit in seamlessly with the Resolute universe, especially with this guy’s armor.
Thanks to a reminder from Fred over at JoeBattleLines, Shout! Factory has posted some great details about the upcoming Sunbow Season 1, Part 1 DVD box set that’s currently in the pipeline. This information came through TVShowsonDVD.com as well, and reports the following excellent news:
Shout! Factory has revealed a new “beauty shot” picture of their packaging – including the discs, disc case, outer slipcover and bonus rub-on tatoos – for their upcoming release of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero – Season 1.1 on DVD. This item will be available at general retail starting July 21st<
Around the same time, Shout! will also be making a <G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero – The Complete Series available in a special “footlocker”-style package, but it will only be available for sale initially at the San Diego Comic Con (July 23-26), and then exclusively online at a secure website (the details of which have yet to be revealed). After an undetermined amount of time, the Complete Series set will then be made available in stores.
In the meantime, the coolness factor of these releases has gone up even further, with word from the DVD producer at Shout!’s message boards that he is painstakingly trying to make every effort to deliver the original broadcast versions of every Sunbow-produced episode, where at all possible. And Shout!’s disc-by-disc “track” listing for the Season 1.1 set has been revealed at their official consumer site, including interesting new details about the bonus material. Here’s that list, followed by the new shot of the package:
Right on schedule, AdultSwim.com has posted the latest two episodes of Resolute, episodes 7 & 8. As always check them out at the Resolute video page here.
I am a bit curious, because the site says episodes 9 & 10 will be shown tomorrow, but I was under the impression that the last part wouldn’t air until it was aired on television…also thought the last part was a 10 minute finale. Guess we’ll find out. As far as I know, these aren’t YouTube’d yet, but I’m sure it’s just a matter of time.
EDIT: Okay, I went back through my notes (yes I have notes from Joe conventions on my computer…I realize that’s sad), and the initial report was 10 5-minute episodes with a 10 minute finale for a total of 60 minutes. So not only does that mean we get two more episodes tomorrow night, it means there are essentially two MORE episodes after that! W00t! 🙂
We’re getting close to the finale…I’m excited, but bummed at the same time. This has been an awesome ride, I don’t want it to end! I know full well Hasbro has geared up to move on to the film stuff, I just hope this Resolute universe doesn’t just end up floating away. It’s too cool to be treated like that. We’ll see, I guess.
EDIT #2: The episodes have been YouTube’d! 😀
