In the last issue of the JoeCanuck newsletter, we saw line art for Backstop, and a mysterious, bald black-clad COBRA agent who are slated to be part of the exclusive package available at the upcoming Canadian G.I. Joe Convention. Well, over at JoeCanuck.com more details have emerged, including the “Dead Eye”, Backstop’s personal tank!
Based off the Armadillo, it uses a nicely custom sticker sheet to separate it from the familiar style and has a very unique storyline that ties it in with the rest of the set. A “must have” for any fans going over the border for the May 2nd show! Check out the thread on JoeCanuck here for more details, images are mirrored below. Also, be sure to visit CanadianJoeCon.com for all of the details on the upcoming convention.
Recently GeneralsJoes broke the news about the upcoming Sideshow Collectibles “environment” diorama set, The Recon at Waypoint 12 w/ Timber. Well, that item is now up for pre-order with a very nice assortment of new gallery images to go with it!
To pre-order this item and check out the awesome new gallery click the banner below. Sideshow is knocking it out of the park. Pricey, but high quality, all the way…
It almost seems as if we’re getting G.I. Joe titles hitting our local comic stores every week, and next Wednesday will be no different! According to Graham Cracker Comics, both G.I. Joe #4 and G.I. Joe Rise of COBRA Prequel # 2 will be hitting shops this coming Wednesday, April 1st.
cmderinchief has gotten his hands on Destro from the Rise of COBRA toyline, and shared some more pictures! The gallery is below, and discussion threads can be found on JoeBattleLines and Coil Club.
This is not only one of the best movie-era figures I’ve seen yet, this is one of the best representations of Destro in the 3 3/4″ scale that I have ever seen. A remarkably cool looking figure with some very neat accessories. Well done, Hasbro! After seeing fan outcry about COBRA Commander over the last few days, it amazes me at just how “right” Destro came out.
Yesterday GeneralsJoes broke the news about a spoiler-filled script review posted over at Idealogy of Madness, and today that same site has posted the second installment.
BEWARE – This script review is chock full of spoiler material, read at your own risk…
Comics Continuum has posted 5-page previews of two upcoming G.I. Joe titles from IDW, G.I. Joe #4 as well as the Rise of COBRA prequel #2, featuring Destro! Check them out here.

Yesterday, eBay seller ws_toys posted auctions for a carded COBRA Commander, Snake Eyes, and Storm Shadow from the upcoming Rise of COBRA action figure line. Well, he has generously supplied more pictures (watermark free!) and I’ve got a gallery of those images below.

JoeCustoms marvel iwbeta makes a return to the “kick ass custom” of the week on GeneralsJoes with a couple of awesome MASK customs!
While much of the Joe fandom freaked out when Matt Trakker was revealed as one of the Anniversary figures, I thought it was an awesome and intriguing concept and loved seeing the two universes merged (as forced as it might have been). Not only that, but the Trakker figure was actually pretty awesome, to boot. Well, iwbeta takes it a step further and gives us a fantastic looking Miles Mayhem and Sly Rax from the evil VENOM team.
Check out the thread at JoeCustoms here. I’ve also mirrored the great pics below:
