Video for upcoming Accelerator Duke Rise of COBRA toy

Originally announced and displayed at Toy Fair in February, the deluxe Accelerator Suit Duke has accelerated some interest in Joe fans recently with the announcement of a $69.99 price tag and information about its availability at Target stores this fall.  While there were a wealth of images of the Accelerator Suit Duke from Toy Fair, a video has now been posted on YouTube of the figure in action.  Check out the video below!

Thanks to alexan2dros from HissTank.com for the info!  And just look at the thing…it’s like you’re playing in The Devil’s Playground!

Another new trailer for G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA with lots of new footage!

For better or worse, another new trailer/TV spot has emerged from Latino Review for the upcoming G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA.  I say for better or worse, because while the action still looks frenetic, high-paced, and awesome, we get a clear indication of what to expect from Ripcord here…I’m all for comedy relief, but not bad comedy relief.  Ah, well…

Still, the trailer is fun.  Check it out via Latino Review or via the YouTube embedded video below:

Thanks to Hiss Commander from the Terror Drome for the heads up!

Reviews around the web for G.I. Joe: COBRA #4

The thrilling conclusion to IDW’s stellar limited series hit comic shops on Wednesday, and reviews have cropped up in several various places online:

By and large, the reaction has been raving…pretty much every review I read is stellar and positive, and I agree completely.  Ever since hearing the premise for the story, I had a good feeling about it, and I was not let down.  From the fast-paced first issue, straight through the twists and turns, and all the way to the biggest twist at the end, this has been a suspensful, action packed thrill ride, from beginning to end.

COBRA is given some instant credibility, a relatively unknown character in Chuckles gains some incredible depth, and in just four issues, lots of groundwork has been laid for the future.  Excellent story.

I have to find it more than a little ironic that Chuckles, a guy in a Hawaiian shirt who never got any real credibility has now been the star of two great stories, both from the Devils’ Due days, and now in IDW.  Just goes to show, that even the smallest “throw away” character can be a great one, if given the right chance to shine.
