G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club Exclusive Undertow reviewed

Us long time fans of the vintage figures have had few reasons to cheer lately, with news of the Convention exclusive figures being Anniversary style…  I’m not in such a bad spot, since I do enjoy the Anniversary and Movie stuff as well, but there are o-ring diehards out there crying in their beer.  Well, the tears can stop, at least for a little while, because the Collectors’ Club exclusive 2009 incentive figure Undertow has started shipping!  I received mine today, and was so enamored that I immediately had to post a review.

Check it out right here!

Mystery G.I. Joe female figure confirmed to be Helix!

helix_figureI’ll be the first to admit when I’m wrong, and I definitely swung and missed on my hypothesis with the mystery figure out of Asia being some updated version of Dial-Tone.  In my own defense, though, Helix wasn’t even on the minds of Joe fans those months ago, so cut me some slack.  😉

Ever since IDW mentioned Helix in a future solicitations article, Joe fans everywhere have come to the conclusion that this mysterious female figure was indeed this new character that was apparently designed for the video game and is thus being indoctrinated into the comic universe by IDW.  Not much was known about the character, even in the August solicitations.

However, friend of GeneralsJoes (and loyal YoJoe contributor) Phillip passed along the following link from Deviantart, which is apparently a cover for the Helix special drawn by Joe Suitor.  One glance at the cover confirms that the mystery character is indeed Helix!  Check out the fantastic image below:

Covers for G.I. Joe: Rise of COBRA video game officially revealed by EA

While Gamestop revealed a teeny-tiny picture of the cover for the upcoming video game early, Electronic Arts has done a full blown reveal today, supplying us with high res images for cover shots of every system the game is being released for.  The DS cover differs from the console covers, but we’ve included a full blown gallery below with each cover for each system.

I’m loving this cover a lot…very dramatic.  Time will tell if the game itself lives up to it…
