No more shakey videocams from San Diego ComicCon! Yes, G.I. Joe: Resolute has aired, and everyone has seen the SDCC and JoeCon footage by now, but not many folks have seen it in crystal clear high resolution. See every bullet, every throwing knife, and hear every crunch of bone…
Big thanks to HissTank member tkprime we now know that Titmouse has posted a version of this video on their site here. It’s video #25. This footage was NOT SEEN during the actual Resolute production.
But for folks who don’t want to scroll through videos or might have a hard time navigating there, you can check it out embedded at YouTube as well.
A few different interesting 12″ pieces of news today… first of all, the Terror Drome is reporting about some images of a 12″ Stalker and Gung Ho that are very military in nature and really don’t seem to fit into the whole movie aesthetic. Are they figures that were slated for release in the normal line before the Rise of COBRA infusion, or are they still to come? Gung Ho could almost pass for his Resolute/video game version, so that’s something to watch for.
Check out the images below:

Also discovered by The Terror Drome is Entertainment Earth’s pre-order listing for the first wave of Rise of COBRA 12″ figures, including COBRA Commander. This is the first time ole’ toasty’s been seen in twelve inch form:
Reports are flooding in from all over the country (and all over the internet) that various nationwide Target Department Stores have started stocking G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA ahead of the scheduled street date. I’ve personally seen reports from JoeCustoms.com, JoeSightings, HissTank, and the Coil Club.
Those of you lucky folks with a local Target (of which I’m not…) get up early tomorrow morning and start shopping! Don’t forget to use the Target.com product locator with the DCPI number 087-06-0246 just to see what might be there. Keep in mind, this is NOT a “be all end all” way to do it, but it might give you a good place to start.
HissTank has posted some new boxed images of upcoming G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA vehicles. We’ve seen most of this before in pre-production form, but a lot of the figures were swapped around and no one really knew their proper names. Well, now we know. Pictured below is:
Snarler Cycle w/ Beachhead and Rollbar (the urban deco repainted Airborne)
Sky Sweeper w/ Air Raid (dark blue repaint of Resolute Duke w/ Jet Pack)
Mantis Attack Craft w/ Aqua Viper Officer (black and red Lamprey repaint w/ removable helmet)
Also pictured is the four figure Target exclusive “Rescue Mission” set. Check out the original thread here, and the images mirrored below.

I’ve also added all of the above images to the Rise of COBRA Toy SuperPage in their appropriate places.
The Sideshow Collectibles news influx continues with a report that an additional twelve (12) Sideshow COBRA Commanders have fallen to lucky folks on the Wait List. If your name isn’t on the list, get on it ASAP by clicking the banner below for your chance to get this awesome looking figure. If your name is on the Wait List, this may be your lucky day…
