cmderinchief from JoeBattleLines and the Coil Club is in town for the Canadian Joe Convention this weekend and has shot through a bunch of very nice, detailed images of the Convention set. The thread on JBL is here, or check out the images below!
I’ll admit I’ve been lagging behind on a few news stories that have come flying through in the past week or so as I finished off some prep work for training and a recent Cisco exam. Now that it’s all behind me, I’m playing a bit of “catch up” starting with the latest round of auctions from international seller unitedwell923. The brand-spanking new images are mirrored below, including an interesting repaint of the Rise of COBRA Storm Shadow. Beyond that, it’s not much that we haven’t seen before, but some very crisp and clear images this time around.
Even with the upcoming film and with Resolute fresh on our minds many fans are sitting on pins and needles waiting for the upcoming “Attack of” and “Defense of” COBRA Island 7-Packs. One of the most sought after figures from those 2 packs is the COBRA Alley-Viper. 堕落了of ACToys.net gives us some great, high detail pictures of the upcoming figure. Check out the thread here, and the images mirrored below. Outstanding looking figure.
Thanks to HissCommander from The Terror Drome for the info.
Hi – Here is a quick update from http://www.bigbadtoystore.com about a
variety of new preorders and more new arrivals:
The non-international High-Def version of the new G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA trailer has made its way to the internet! It’s up right now on MySpace Trailer Park, and is also embedded below. Enjoy!
So I’ve already brought you the Ten Things I Didn’t Like about G.I. Joe: Resolute, so I figured I’d bring the other side of the story. Let’s face it, we all know Resolute wasn’t the perfect G.I. Joe Nirvana…it had some faults, but taken as a whole, it was still an hour of bad ass G.I. Joe action and the most “cutting edge” the Joe property has been in a long time. Well, I guess that’s arguable. Does gunfire and deaths translate to “cutting edge”? No, not really, but for the first time I sat down and watched a G.I. Joe animated feature without resolving the fact that it was made for kids in the back of my head at least three dozen times. Most importantly, it was entertaining. To date, I’ve watched this 60 minute feature twice all the way through, beginning to end, and of course, the third time broken up into chunks during the normal air date. As I’ve done all this, I’ve contemplated the top ten things I absolutely loved about G.I. Joe: Resolute. Without further adeu:
Sideshow Collectibles as posted their latest “Fantacular” and amongst the pages, they have a rundown of their SDCC Exclusives, including one for G.I. Joe. There isn’t much of a picture (just a headshot) but Sideshow has announced that the 2009 SDCC Exclusive 12″ G.I. Joe figure will be… a Crimson COBRA Commander.
Now, with it just being a headshot, it’s tough to tell exactly what they’re doing here…he’s got a red hood and silver COBRA logo on it. Beyond that, it’s anyone’s guess. Personally, I’m happy. Less cash I have to find a way to earn between now and July. 😉
Anyway, click here to check it out!
The now-immortal Dave Johnson (in G.I. Joe land, anyway, for whatever that’s worth) has posted some updates to his already awesome DeviantArt page with a bunch of new Resolute stuff. Still no character details (dammit!) but plenty of other coolness like backgrounds, weapon turnarounds, etc…
Check out his DeviantArt page here, and check out the mirrored images below! Huge thanks to Wild Weasel of The Terror Drome for the information.
Coming from what is likely a French source (hence the subtitles), the new G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA trailer has landed at TrailerAddict.com! Check out the embedded goodness below. WOW!
Is it my G.I. Joe? Nope. But it looks like a pretty damn fun summer action flick. Bring it on.
