Once again, BigBadToyStore comes through with sponsoring another “Flashback Review” this time around, for the second COBRA 5-Pack with COBRA Commander, Storm Shadow, the Baroness, Zartan, and COBRA Viper.
Is it as good as the Joe one? Is it worth buying at all? Check out the review right here! Also, stay tuned as the Rise of COBRA street date looms…BBTS will be sponsoring all my new reviews as well, so expect an onslaught once those hit retail!
As The Rise of COBRA hurtles towards us, Hasbro continues on the Q & A train, with the next round of submissions due Saturday, July 4th by noon. Use the comments section to submit some requests, and we’ll gather together three to send along.
I know folks come here for G.I. Joe news and perspective, but as regular visitors know, I delve into other things from time to time. Considering that last night I devoted 5 hours of my life to drive down to the nearest IMax theater and spend 2.5 hours with Michael Bay’s most recent Transformers film, I figured maybe it was worth a few more minutes of time to talk about it, since I’m sure many of my regular readers have an interest in this property as well.
With big thanks to The Commander for posting on HissTank.com that ToysRUs.com has certain Rise of COBRA toys in stock now! There’s a large number of figures listed, and not all are in stock, but many of them are including:
Who knows if this is an oversight? If it is, jump on it now, looks like the time is coming!
Hi – Here is a quick update from http://www.bigbadtoystore.com about more
new arrivals and a variety of new preorders:
Along with Canada, new G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA action figures have begun spreading across Australia! Thanks to Mr. Arashikage of the Skymates Australian G.I. Joe Collectors‘ forum for the report, with pictoral confirmation over on HissTank.com.
Go get ’em!
The website for the G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA video game from Eelectronic Arts went up a short while ago, but one section was notably quiet…the “Daily Downloads”. Well, tkprime from HissTank.com reports that the section is now live, and sure enough, there is a desktop wallpaper of Storm Shadow available there for download.
Check it out right here, and then keep on checking it out to see what other new goodies go up!
We got a nice helping of five different character posters a little while ago scattered across several sites…well, that assortment gets an update of one today, as Scarlett is added to the list via an exclusive at Film School Rejects. This follows the trend of the other five posters, and I really love how they all came out! Great layout, lots of action…very cool.
The gallery of all six (including Scarlett) is hosted below.
