Dipping into their normal pool of resources, the guys at HissTank.com have received some pictures of upcoming product tied into G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA. Some of it is stuff we’ve seen, just pieced together here, though there is some interesting new items, most notably a retooled Ferret with what looks to be a Leatherneck repaint? Could it be a more accurate vintage version? There’s also some more pictures of the mysterious small vehicle that I called a “minisub” at one point, which has been shown in the most recent trailer as a flight pod flying over the snow. Some interesting stuff, to be sure, you can check out the original thread at HissTank here, or see the images below.

Hisstank also got their hands on some pictures of possible upcoming Combat Heroes. It’s still a question whether or not these will all get released, since some of the items in this image below look like more vintage styled stuff, but it’s still pretty neat to look at. Check out those images below as well, with the original thread here.

Even though his role is still supposedly a mystery (perhaps the worst kept secret in this summer’s flock of films), Joseph Gordon-Levitt took some time to talk to New York Magazine, and you can read the interview here.

In the movie section of NYTimes.com, the venerable national newspaper takes a look at the toy-based films coming out this summer (most notably Transformers 2 and G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA) and compares the movie objects to the toys that will end up accompanying them. In the slideshow, which you can view here, there are a couple of nice new images from the Rise of COBRA film that have not yet been seen (at least to my knowledge). I’ve mirrored the new images below.

The Terror Drome reports of some information gleaned from overseas auctions indicates that many of the recent revealed repaints are of Toys “R” Us exclusive 3-Packs. Keep in mind that this is merely rumor so far, and is not the least bit confirmed, but there are a round number of figures that fit that theme. The rumored figures are as follows:
- Grunt (Woodland camo repaint of Wave 1 Zartan)
- Sgt. Stone (Green repaint)
- Destro (Blue and red repaint)
- Elite Viper
- Neo-Viper (Blue repaint)
- Speed Metal (Accelerator Suit guy with Serpentor head)
I must say, if this news is true, I’m happy to hear it. With the rash of revealed repaints, I was pretty worried that the main line might get heavily diluted with minor color changes that meant little or nothing to the plot, but I’m happy to see these being relagated to exclusives. It’s also pretty neat to see a couple of new characters mixed in here like Grunt, Speed Metal, and Elite-Viper. A good thing for TRU, but also good for the collectors who want to keep the main line for the original stuff. Check out the recent images mirrored below. I’ve also included some past pics that are of higher quality, just to give a good reference point.
Thanks again to WildWeasel from The Terror Drome for the scoop.
