We all knew this one was coming, and here he is! Using the torso from the ’91 Snake Eyes and a whole lot of coolness… it’s The Interrogator!
Great figure choice, I can’t wait to see how they integrate it into the Cobra/Red Shadow mythology. I’m sure I don’t have to tell most of you how much of an Interrogator fanboy I am. Love it.
Check it out right here!
He’s slightly more battle ready, but is very faithful to the Interrogator look…the helmet is pretty interesting, too, definitely looks like new tooling. Wonder who’s under the mask…
Cobra Island – February 26, 2010 – Today, Cobra Commander has announced that Cobracon 2010 will be held at the Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence, Rhode Island from April 29th to May 2nd. Cobra wants to make sure that the fans of Cobra do not confuse this show with GIJoecon 2010, also being held in Providence, Rhode Island from April 29th to May 2nd. No, CobraCon will be FAR more exciting!!!
Unlike last year’s convention (apologies again for the unexpected exposure of mind control gas at the Saturday Night Dinner event), this year’s CobraCon promises a smooth and relatively danger free show, complete with a special appearance by Black Major and his trusty comrades, the Red Shadows. Along with special guests, art contests, an invasion of Hasbro’s headquarters, panels and seminars featuring Hasbro and other Cobra supporters, this year’s convention is THE show to attend!
So what are you waiting for! Just head on over to our convention site now and sign up for the Cobra event of a lifetime. NOW! Cobraaaaaaaaaaa! www.CobraCon.com. Be sure to click the page to see our latest CobraCon video! About COBRA
For over 25 years, Cobra has been the leading international criminal organization, offering the whole of humanity the finest in criminal espionage, homicidal clones, doomsday scenarios and an alternative to the decadent and foolish governance of so-called ‘democracy.’ Located on Cobra Island and any number of small towns near you, Cobra reaches more people than any rival organization; with attacks on G.I. Joe and the many countries they help defend such as Japan, Great Britain, Brazil, Australia and Canada. For more information visit our convention site.

For Joe fans who don’t check into the GI Joe Collectors’ Club forums, you can sometimes miss out on some nice little tidbits. For instance, this past weekend, Lanny revealed some awesome package art for the upcoming 3 3/4″ Adventure Team product that is supposed to debut at the Convention in Rhode Island this year.
That artwork is pretty damn stunning, I have to say.
Between the Red Shadows, Action Force, Dr. Venom, and the Adventure Team, this year’s Convention is gonna be a killer on the wallet, but I’m really looking forward to it. Check out the package art mirrored below as well.
Other tidbits from the GIJCC forums within the past few days… according to The Commander, the Red Torches will come with some different weapon assortments in the box! Sounds like they may not be straight-up flamethrower troopers. Also, the inclusion of Flint and Interrogator was most likely due to a dictation from Hasbro that they include a mainstream Joe and a mainstream Cobra in the Con set.
Some very cool behind the scenes info. Check it out, registration is free.
The hits keep on coming… Black Major was great. Red Torch looks very nice as well… Flint was hit or miss with many of the collector crowd, though I think he looks good as well. But what many folks were waiting for were the Red Shadows themselves…and it looks like the Club stepped up to the plate.
Hit up GIJoeCon.com to see the Red Shadows in their old school glory. These look NICE. Straight up Red Shadows, pulled from the Action Force comics. Absolutely love ’em. Here’s hoping we get some decent Action Force foils to go up against them.
Using mostly Red Star parts, with a very cool looking newly tooled head, this figure definitely captures the backbone of the Red Shadow faction. A very cool looking figure. Check it out here!
While everyone is focusing on what the next Convention figure will be, the G.I. Joe Club has brought our attention back to this year’s free membership incentive figure, Big Lob! First they report via an email from Brian Savage that figures should be arriving around April 15th. Also, if anyone wants extras, they can currently pre-order them from the Club Store.
Also, in more exciting news, the Club reports that Big Lob will make his comic book debut in the March, 2010 issue of the Club newsletter, starting his adventures in a series of one page spotlights. The comics are written by Jesse Wittenrich with pencils by Dan Khanna. Don’t miss out, Join the Club now.
I know there aren’t many folks who are excited about Big Lob, but I think it’s pretty neat. Hopefully if he captures some fan attention other characters like Pythona, Kwinn, or Billy might be down the pipeline…
