Notpicard over at the Coil Club has posted some pictures of carded items from the upcoming Rise of COBRA action figure line. Included in the pictures is a carded “Pit Commando”, “COBRA Eel” (which looks like the previously hypothosized Elite Viper), and Agent Helix. Check out the original thread here, and check out the images mirrored below!
Thanks to ggpike for the info!

Well the Pit Commando has potential, simply for the amount of gear you get.
Helix is pretty cool. More girl figures are always cool. Eel is a fail. Just doesn’t have the Eel vibe.
Not feeling the Viper either. I like the Resolute Trooper better.
I’m getting the feeling I’m going to be really choosy when it comes to ROC figures.
The Pit Commando is festooned with gear! He can arm an army all on his own! Two vests, at least 4 hats, and 5 hand weapons. And no missile launcher of any kind at all.
Crazy. And the first legit ‘Grayshirt’ of the movie, to blend Zartan into.
Ripcord’s second gun is kind of odd; it looks like a shotgun with a gravity fed magazine…
The Eel looks less like the Elite Viper to me than it does to you, I think, but they do share a head. Looks like he has Torpedo thighs and new arms to me.
The Viper Commando looks great, and has better weapons than the first one. (Although the first one’s rappelling backpack gimmick is really cool, and missed.) It also looks like he comes with a nice sledgehammer for some future Road Pig figure.
Helix looks great, and seems to have corrected the eye issue, at least somewhat.
I want one already.
(Of course, ANOTHER female Joe spy? Really? Scarlett, Lady Jaye, and to a lesser extent Jinx weren’t enough?)
The Pit Commando is going to be a must buy for army building. The really neat thing about it, is with 3 different helmets and a gas mask / a tactical vest / a armored vest / and different weapon, people will be able to create their own “personalized” Pit Commando force. I really like this concept!
The Eel I’m really liking. Hopefully there will be some out of package pics. Though it has the Elite Viper head, it also has an oxygen tank w/ hose. Not sure if it will connect to the back or front of the head, or if it connects to the torso.
Viper Commando is the nice looking version that has the blackwash over the helmet.
Ripcord has no complaints from me!
Helix is looking a lot better. The card art looks awesome.
PIT Commando! PIT Commando! Okay that’s it. Say what you will about the movie and the toyline, but they have finally given us the one thing no Joe line has given us before…..Army Builder Good Guys! Not as TRU exclusives or Mail Away premiums, but just plain old got-to-the-store-and-buy-one regular releases.
That’s it Hasbro, as far as I’m concerned you’ve earned your pay.
Looking at the Viper Commando again, and the previous leaked Elite Vipers…
I think it might be a differently coloured Elite Viper miscarded into a Viper Commando package. There’s even an Elite Viper card underneath it in the picture. The card and paper insert are identical to the wave 1 Viper Commando… but the figure inside is a blue/gray version of the Elite Viper, complete with the same weapons as the ‘equipped’ one that got put on eBay. Heck the hammer even matches the thing on the right side of the backpack of the Elite Viper.
I think you may be right. Miscarded stuff has happened before. I wish we could see the pic of the figure with the Elite Viper tag.
Habro scores with the Pit Commando and Agent Helix.
The Cobras however don’t really fit in with the rest of my Blueshirts so I’ll pass on them.
Than you for the pictures.
