More details emerge about 2010 Cobra Commander
Thanks to bluesparrow from HissTank.com who reports that in the latest issue of Toy Fare, the previously revealed Mail Away Cobra Commander will not just be a mail away, but will also see limited retail release on the special Cobra themed card. They mentioned August release dates for both Cobra Commander as well as the new Cobra H.I.S.S. tank, and also made mention of an upcoming single card Dusty and Alley-Viper!
Considering what we’ve seen from the Pursuit of Cobra stuff so far, I’m really excited to see what they’re doing with the Alley-Viper. They are really ramping up the accessorization for this new Joe line it would appear, so here’s hoping we get something really bad ass to add to our Cobra armies.
GIJoeCon 2010 Black Major REVEALED
Apparently when the Club sent out that email, they weren’t joking around! The preview for the G.I. Joe 2010 Convention Exclusive Black Major is already online now! As predicted, he contains a heavy influence of M Bison, and wow. A very, very nice looking figure. Nothing exceptionally fancy about it, but very true to the Red Shadows Nazi-type roots. He looks evil and fits right in with the Red Shadows theme. Love the overwhelming black of the figure, with just the right touches of red…and man, that Red Shadow logo looks great.
I definitely approve so far! Keep your eyes on the GIJoeCon 2010 Preview Page for more preview images as they arrive! I know I’m looking forward to it!

2010 GIJoeCon images should start appearing "in the next day or so"…
Brian from the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club has sent out an email update, and mentions in the update to keep our eyes on GIJoeCon.com because official images should start appearing there in the next day or so. The full text of the email can be read below!
“In case you have not heard, Southwest airlines is having a $39 each way sale from selected markets. They fly into Providence, so if you have not booked your air, check it out! There are also some airlines that are matching this sale. You must book by Thursday, February 12.
In addition, we will be putting up the first pictures in the next day or so at GIJoeCon.com.
Also, if you have already sent in your registration form and did not mark the Hasbro tour and want to go, you need to send in the form and mark the top “additional items to be added”. The tour is free but you MUST sign up for it or you will not be able to attend.
Every registration form in house has been processed so you should see the charges on your cc bill in the next day or so. Check your bill as confirmation that we have received your form and it matches the amount on your copy.
Hard copy registration forms will go out in late March.
See you in RI for this once-in-a-lifetime convention!
Brian”
I’m really excited to see these images, and looking forward to the convention, too. Hopefully I’ll see a bunch of you guys there.
Images emerge for Pursuit of Cobra Arctic Threat Destro
I should have my own review up very shortly, but for now, a few other places have gotten images up of the deceptively cool “Arctic Threat” Destro. I say deceptive, because on the surface, he really doesn’t look that great, but once you really dig into the figure with the tooling, the removable jacket, and the absolutely amazing frosted paint scheme, this figure is really very, VERY nice. I’ll let the following images speak for themselves, and will get my own review up swiftly.
