The Hollywood Movie Costumes and Props blog site has posted a bunch of really nice images of costumes and props as well as the actual vehicles that were used in G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA. It gives us some really nice up close shots of just a little bit of the awesome gear that was seen on screen. Check it out here and here, and I’ve also mirrored some images below.

Our man cmderinchief is back at it again, with some more breakdowns of recently released and soon-to-be-released figures! Over at JoeBattleLines, he’s posted a couple of very nice galleries of the upcoming Tunnel Rat/Monkeywrench Wal-Mart 2-Pack as well as the not yet released Bench-Press Toys “R” Us Exclusive. Check ’em out below!

A big thanks goes out to Dennis of the COBRA Collection Blog, who has done a review and kindly shared a wealth of images for the upcoming COBRA Mantis vehicle w/ Aqua-Viper. Part of the Alpha series of Rise of COBRA vehicles, the Mantis is a repaint/re-release of the Valor Vs. Venom Sting Raider, and actually fits in with the movie style pretty well. The movie deco Lamprey repaint (now with a cool removable helmet) finishes off the package very nicely. Check out the images below!

We’d already heard that the Wal-Mart 2-Packs were available online, but for the first time, according to a HissTank member, they’ve also been found at a brick & mortar store in New York. Along with that revalation, another HissTank poster reveals that he scored the second wave of Target Exclusives at his local store as well.
Gotta love these August store shelf resets… Let the hunt begin again!
The guys at The Terror Drome are continuing their great “Pictorial Reviews” this time tackling the very recently released Senior Ranking Officer 3-Packs, exclusive to Toys “R” Us. These sets each have their own unique identity with some pluses and minuses…personally, I really like the green camouflage redeco of Sgt. Stone, and I like Speed Metal as well, even if he is just a minor repaint and head swap. Love the Destro in the COBRA pack as well, very reminiscent of his video game appearence, which is great.
Anyway, you can check out the Joe review here, and the COBRA one here. Images are hosted below.

I was definitely not a big fan of the Snarler cycle w/ Rollbar and Beachhead when I first saw it, but I’m starting to come around. Beachhead still doesn’t look real great (though he’s a nice match for the video game version) but Rollbar looks awesome and the bike itself is looking better and better as well. MadMac from JoeBattleLines has posted a great series of images as well as a nice little review. Check it out, and I’ve also hosted the images below.
