Cobra Command continues here!
As mentioned in the Real American Hero #175 review, toy and Super Bowl news overshadowed my focus on the comics universe, but I’m trying to change that this week, especially because the Cobra Command storyline is hitting it on all cylinders.

I know I’m dragging a little late with this particular review, but with all of the toy news and the intel about the Super Bowl TV spot I hadn’t really had time to make it happen. Well, I’m rectifying that this morning!

Among the crazy toy news late last week, a new image was released by Paramount for the upcoming G.I. Joe movie sequel. Featuring Bruce Willis as Joe Colton, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as Roadblock, and Adrianne Palicki as Lady Jaye, this image comes right on the heels of the release of the Super Bowl TV spot.
Initial reports of the image courtesy of Entertainment News International, the picture is mirrored below.
I’ve been talking about it for a little while now, and now you can vote in it!
A short while ago, Robert Atkins (artist extraordinaire for IDW’s G.I. Joe and Snake Eyes titles) decided to hold a contest for the best custom version of his updated Cobra Commander design…and the fans have come through!
With a very nice selection of several different figures in many different formats, there are some great choices for the best custom version of this new Cobra Commander! You can view all of the entries on Robert Atkins page right here.
I’m torn. A lot of beautiful work here… but I gotta say I’m pretty partial to Troy’s version, which even included a mock up of the packaging and a Krake head that can be swapped out! It’s really gorgeous.
Although I absolutely love that Chad and Matt went the o-ring route, and Sidewinder’s 12″ version is truly inspired as well.
Some tough choices here. Go vote!
This episode was a blast. Being able to spend an hour talking to the mastermind behind Tunnel Rat in G.I. Joe: Renegades was truly educational. Hearing how he got his start, and who he’s connected with over the years was an amazing experience, and we were all captivated by how easily he fell into Tunnel Rat’s very distinctive voice throughout the interview.
Of course, along with Matt King, we also spoke with Alexx from Alexx’s Shorts, one of the funniest and best G.I. Joe reviewers on the ‘net…at least he was until he turned down my marriage proposal. Go check out Podbean to listen, or just click on the embedded player below. Enjoy!
