Zak! Designs, which is a company who specializes in dinnerware and lunch bags is jumping on the “Rise of COBRA” bandwagon, clearly visible by their website here. As the months go on, fully expect to be absolutely inundated with G.I. Joe product from every aisle and corner of the store. I love this stuff!
Picking up where he left off with the Night Raven, Terror Drome staff member Dark 5cythe has come through with some very nice pictorial reviews of the Alpha class vehicles from the first assortment of The Rise of COBRA figures. I’ve mirrored a few of the images below, but also definitely hit up the links for the full allotment of images and the nicely written reviews!

It’s always tough to tell if the arrival date listed with the online retailers is 100% accurate, but apparently, the COBRA Island 7-Packs are indeed due to be released this month! Check out all of the details in the SmallJoes newsletter posted below.

GI JOE COBRA ISLAND 7-PACKS AVAILABLE SOON!
===========================================
The GIJoe Collectors Club newsletter has started to arrive in member’s home, and a small tidbit of information should make convention goers very happy. Folks who are fired up about the SDCC Destro (or the 12″ Baroness for that matter) but cannot make it out to San Diego will have an opportunity to buy the movie accurate Destro at JoeCon in August!
There is no indication of exactly how many will be available, but there will be something anyway. Good luck to all who attend!
Looks like today was the day… SmallJoes.com has launched their pre-orders for the upcoming Assault of COBRA Island and Defense of COBRA Island 7-Packs.
I’m hoping there’s enough of these to go around, I have no doubt they will be in huge demand!
Man, I just can’t watch these enough. Totally rocking. Checking out these trailers and tv spots while tooling around with action figures that look like they were pulled straight from the screen… awesome!
For whatever reason the Anniversary line turned me into a “display guy”. I was always all about the playability, and not really how figures looked on the shelf, but when the Anniversary line hit its stride, I suddenly had an urge to make various shelf displays of certain figures. All the cartoon-themed folks together, a nice little COBRA army…even the Iron Grenadiers. Don’t ask me why, I just felt compelled.
But of course, finding a spot was tough, and keeping the spot clean was even tougher. I have black bookcases which would become dust magnets within minutes of setting up the damn figures! Well, SmallJoes.com recently announced that they’re distributing a unique display case tailor-made for 1:18 figures. It’s clear poly-styrene, stackable, a managable size, and locks together in such a way that it almost eliminates dust altogether. I just had to check it out.
Then, once I checked it out, I loved it so much I just had to do a review of it to show other folks what they were missing if they didn’t have one. Priced at a very reasonable $24.99 for the entire set (and only $9.99 if you just want the “steps”) I think this is a must have for any fans of 1:18 scale figures.
Check out the full review here, and if you like it, be sure to head over to SmallJoes and pick one up for yourself!

WOOT!
tkprime over on his Facebook page has uploaded a brand new TV Spot that he saw on Cartoon Network last night. It uses mostly the same footage, but with some more editing, a few more cool shots of Scarlett (who definitely looks to be the girl riding the motorcycle who gets wiped out) and some other Accelerator Suit goodness.
Check out the embedded video below!
More sites are finally reporting in about the G.I. Joe logo-emblazoned black helicopter that was spotted in various beaches around the country this past weekend, and PublicAdCampaign.com actually got some video!
I’ve embedded it below.
