G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA Wave 5 has been listed on HasbroToyShop for a while, but only as “Coming Soon”…well, this morning, the pre-order gates have opened! Each figure (including the spectacular City Strike Snake Eyes) are now up for pre-order. Looks like figures will begin shipping October 19th, but judging by how much in demand Snake Eyes seems to be, you may want to jump on this boat early at a decent price.
Don’t forget to use gijoe10 for a 10% discount!
The really exciting thing about this to me, is that it sounds very much like the awesome Pursuit of COBRA stuff will start hitting late this year…can’t wait for that. Go get ’em!

I’ve been getting a smattering of new assortments at my house coming here and there and have posted some reviews for your consumption! The highlight is by far Snake Eyes (City Strike) so he gets top billing, but that’s not all that I’ve got posted. I also slightly revamped the Rise of COBRA Review Page because I wasn’t especially happy with the layout. Check out the reviews below!
- Snake Eyes (City Strike)
- Kamakura
- Night Adder
- Red Fang Ninja
Is City Strike Snake Eyes as good as everyone thinks he is? Yes, yes he is.

Amazon has officially posted the Pre-Order for the upcoming G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA Blu-Ray disc. They don’t list a release date, though current hypothosis is November 3rd based on listings from the Canadian branch of Amazon.com.
Hopefully the theatrical release breaks 300 million before it even hits DVD…that would be great.

According to a few different sources including Sparky on JoeBattleLines, the European publisher Panini is distributing a brand new comic book in the United Kingdom continuing the G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA mythology, including free gifts in the package. Information on this development can be found at Lew Stringer’s blog, and there’s even an interview with the writer of the comic on Down The Tubes.
GeneralsJoes has also acquired some page scans of the comic, and you can check them out in the gallery below!
