In the Newsletter along with the reveal of the COBRA Officer, Sideshow also mentions that they’ve added many images to the gallery of the upcoming COBRA Trooper figure. While the Trooper is currently sold out, you can easily put your name on the wait list and hope that someone else falls off the pre-order list to guarantee your spot.

The G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club has updated their Convention website, GIJoeCon.com with the box art for the upcoming Crimson Strike Team Convention set as well as a group shot. Click here to check out the update.
Most important item to note is that a crimson repaint of the RHINO helicopter is featured heavily on the box art which might indicate that it serves as the attendee exclusive this year.
Thanks to cmdrinchief of the Coil Club and JoeBattleLines for the information.

It looks like July is the month that Hasbro kicks G.I. Joe promotion into full gear. We’ve had the announcement of the bumped up street date, the revamp of GIJoe.com, and now the film site itself gets some added bells and whistles, too. Along with the spiffy Flash frontpage, there’s a pretty unique image gallery, some videos (nothing new so far, just the same trailers we’ve seen), and a lot of fresh wallpapers. Hit up GIJoeMovie.com and poke around a bit!

It’s official…after much inquiry of retailers and wondering, Hasbro PR has responded to fan questions about the RoC street date:
“G.I. Joe Fans:
As if celebrating the 4th of July weren’t cause for enough excitement, imagine having early access to a slew of G.I. JOE: The Rise of Cobra figures and vehicles. Well, your wish is our command.
Hasbro is pleased to announce that the first wave G.I. JOE: The Rise of Cobra toys are going to begin to hit shelves ONE WEEK EARLY, starting Monday, July 6th.
Beginning this Monday and rolling out throughout next week, your favorite retailers will be adding G.I. JOE: The Rise of Cobra figures and vehicles to their stores. This is your opportunity to be the first to get your hands on these highly anticipated toys.
If you could help us spread the word to other G.I. JOE fans, that would be great.
Thanks and have a terrific 4th of July weekend! Yo Joe!”

Sideshow Collectibles is proud to announce their “Let Freedom Ring” event, and has announced their event here. Along with this event, they’ve shown a product “tease” for an upcoming 12″ figure, and the character is pretty much a no-brainer.
Check out the image below, Sideshow promises to reveal the figure at San Diego ComicCon.
Thanks to JT for his comments in the comment field notifying me of this!

I’m not sure how much I’ll be online throughout the day, but Sideshow’s Twitter feed just revealed that “Our newsletter will be full of exciting news about G.I. Joe, Marvel and much more! Be sure to check-it out later today!”
So any Sideshow Collectible members, keep your eyes open for the newsletter today. I’ll report on the findings here as soon as I get them! Sideshow is one of those things that I am currently loving from afar. I got my hands on a Snake Eyes, and I LOVE it, but I haven’t been able to squirrel away enough cash to think about getting any others at the moment. Still, though, I look forward to any news about future releases, hopefully we’ll hear something cool today.

Though it’s listed as a “Soundtrack” the artist is labelled as Alan Silvestri, who produced the musical score for the film, so my guess is that this is actually the score, not the soundtrack. Check out the listing on Amazon here.
Thanks to Gung.Heaux from HissTank.com for the info!

As more information continues to trickle out, I’m doing some needed revamping to the Rise of COBRA Toy SuperPage. In the past couple of days I’ve made the following changes:
- Added images for every single assortment, most of them carded
- Separated “Collection 2” into the two separate waves based on retailer information from JoeSightings.com
- Added various items for Exclusives, Vehicles, etc…
- Added some Speculative listings for potential future items that have yet to be confirmed.
Check out the SuperPage here! Thanks to everyone who has offered some help, and please let me know if there are any missing pieces.

Phil Kost from JoeReloaded.com passes on the word that he’s posted 5-page previews for upcoming G.I. Joe issues from IDW. These two issues are slated to hit shelves next Wednesday. Check them out on JoeReloaded here and here, and also take a peek at the mirrors below. Keep in mind, of course, there may be movie-related spoilers in the 5-page preview for the movie adaptation. I think the thumbnails are small enough to prevent any real detail, but always keep that in mind.
