So if anyone didn’t check out the Electronic Arts site, you really should. Even if you’re not into video games at all, or if you think the Rise of COBRA game looks silly, there is still plenty to love on the video game themed website. There’s all sorts of really cool character art, even for characters not yet seen in toy form and some cool bios and other tidbits. I’ve mirrored a sampling of the art on the site in a small gallery below, but everyone should really check it out for themselves, even if you’re not a big video game person.

Courtesy of TrailerAddict.com, we have two brand new clips from G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA to make our Wednesday morning work day a bit more bearable. Most of the footage is pulled from various other scenes (like the four minute Paris Pursuit clip) but these are in English and there is definitely some new footage, and…well…they’re cool. Check them out below as well:
The two clips are available at TrailerAddict directly as well, here and here. Just over a week to go! Cannot WAIT.
Well, SDCC was fun and everything, but getting it all sorted out and organized was a PITA of the highest level. Regardless, the Toy Superpage should now be up to date (I think… :shifty:)
This is what I did, this go ’round:
Added listings and images for Wal-Mart Battle Stations
Added listings and images for Toys “R” Us Troop Builder 5-Packs
Added listings and images for TRU Snow Serpent & Bench-Press
Added listings and images for the white coat Doctor and unmasked Arctic Storm Shadow Variant
Added listings and images for latest round of speculation (Duke, Ripcord, Desert-Viper, Storm Shadow, Resolute Snake Eyes)
Separated Waves 2 & 3 of the Alpha vehicles and added images pertaining to them
I think that’s it. If anyone finds anything I’ve missed, let me know, but I believe I’ve managed to capture everything. Still refining the release dates and such, but most images have the tags in them with the release dates on them. Check it out here.
Collider.com has posted some great video of Larry Hama talking about the history of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero and also about his role with G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA. Hasbro Executive Brian Goldner also chimes in alongside Stuart Beattie and Stephen Sommers. Check out the video below. Thanks to tkprime’s Twitter feed for the information.
Many a fan has wondered exactly what the hell went wrong with Hasbro’s face-scanning equipment when The Baroness figure was first revealed, since it looked absolutely nothing like the normally beautiful Sienna Miller. Most other face sculpts all look okay, but hers? Not so much.
Turns out, the actress has noticed. Speaking with the New York Daily News, she had this to say:
“My doll is cross-eyed and has the biggest chin you have ever seen…” “…She looks sort of possessed.”
Click here to read the full article…I wonder if we’ll get any sort of updated face sculpt somewhere down the line? Hopefully we don’t have to wait for the inevitable sequel. Meanwhile, someone needs to tell her the correct term is “action figure”. :shifty:
