One of the more underwhelming toys coming in the Rise of COBRA line, in my opinion, is the COBRA Gunship. It looks mostly like a helicopter with no rotors and no real physical way to fly, yet is shown in trailers whipping through the sky. How exactly does that work? Well, I suppose it’s no more out of the ordinary than Trubble Bubbles, etc… but one thing this picture showed me is the size of the Gunship. I don’t know why, but I didn’t realize it was so large. That actually impresses me a bit more, though I’m still not wild about the whole look of the vehicle.
Anyway, check out this thread on AC Toys, or check out the trio of images below.

I know it’s been a while since I did one of these, but I just couldn’t resist. The inclusion of Matt Trakker into the 25th Anniversary line created quite a ripple in the fandom with arguments about a non-Joe character taking up a “slot” for what could have been a better choice, or wondering why MASK was getting any G.I. Joe love at all. Myself? I thought it was a very cool idea. Well, HissTank member BHiga6181 takes it one step further and whipped up a full blown M.A.S.K. and V.E.N.O.M. team with masks and all. Both BHiga and myself have to give huge props as well to Tri-Gate Creations for their awesome work on the masks that were used for this project as well.
Check out these two threads on HissTank for all the names and details, and you can hit up the images mirrored below. Nice work on this one!

Continuing the onslaught of news tonight, tkprime from HissTank.com discovered an image of the Rise of COBRA video game cover at his local GameStop, and a little investigation revealed that Electronic Arts had revealed the cover image at their site as well. There appear to be two different covers, one for the Nintendo DS and one other for all other systems. Check out the pics below.

HissTank has received some very high res, nice clean pics of the upcoming Arctic Hiss w/ Hiss Commander action figure. While I personally don’t have much use for another HISS, I can’t deny that this vehicle (and figure) looks downright bad ass. A very nice job, even with only some minor tooling additions. The Stinger’s an absolute must buy, but this one ain’t so bad itself. Check out the thread here, and I’ve also mirrored the images below.

Tkprime from HissTank.com has posted some great new digital colors from G.I. Joe: Resolute in this thread here. The art is apparently from “Snake Bite”, who is on MySpace at this link, and also has his own website as well. Some very cool stuff! I’ve mirrored the images below, a big thanks to tkprime for digging up this info.

Friend of GeneralsJoes, cmderinchief has posted a number of nicely detailed pictures of a potential upcoming Duke figure on JoeBattleLines here. The figure looks different than the Desert Ambush Duke we’re getting in Wave 1, and we have not yet seen any specific details about when or where this figure might see release. I have mirrored the images below.
