Yet more figure news out of HissTank this morning as they’ve gotten their hands on some product images for upcoming G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA action figures. These are thought to be from Wave 4, but that’s not known for certain. Shown in the mirrored gallery below are:
Charbroil
The Doctor (White Labcoat)
Nano-Viper
Kamakura
Night Adder
Red Fang Ninja
Check out the original thread here, and take a peek at the images below.

A ton of reused parts and pieces…lots of Resolute Duke and Blowtorch for Charbroil…Nano-Viper is a straight up Viper Commando repaint. Kamakura is pretty much all repainted parts. Night Adder has Resolute Roadblock’s body and vest, though he has a new head. Even the Red Fang Ninja looks to have the RoC Viper body, and maybe just a Resolute Trooper head with sunglasses. They are mixing them up well, and the result is decent, but they’ve definitely got this formula down.
Well, not a whole lot of new news, per se, but some nicely clear images of figures we knew were on the horizon. During SDCC, they gave out a G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA catalog, and HissTank’s got some nice images of what was shown inside, including clear pictures of:
Kamakura
Nano-Viper
Night Adder
Red Fang Ninja
Also an image of an upcoming Ninja Battles Scene Pack is shown as well, with Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow repaints packaged with the Valor Vs. Venom Arashikage Temple playset. Some cool stuff. Check the mirrored images below.

Also shown at SDCC were images of some more upcoming 12″ product including:
Destro
Hawk
Heavy Duty
Duke (Reactive Armor)

My thoughts on this stuff (well, the 4 inch stuff, anyway) are pretty positive. A lot of remixed parts, but remixed in a GREAT way. Anyone who reads my diatribes knows that I love new characters, so with Night Adder and Red Fang Ninja (did I actually call him Red CLAW Ninja last night? Oops…) I’ve loving what I’m seeing. The fact that Night Adder uses Resolute Roadblock’s tooling is icing on the cake. Some great stuff to look forward to, hopefully we get some nice, clear pics of the product shots in the next few days.
We interrupt this deluge of SDCC news to report that the TENTH TV spot for G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA has gone up over on HDTVSpot’s YouTube Channel. Thanks to SNAKE EYES from HissTank.com for the report!
The Terror Drome continues to upload images from the preview night floor in San Diego, and a few more have caught my eye. These images contain the following:
The Doctor in white labcoat confirmed as a secondary release
Volcano-Viper, the driver of the Lava Pod (MolePod repaint)
HissTank.com is getting their images uploaded (as their servers explode), but thankfully, I’m also mirrored some images of theirs here as well. You can check out the original Hisstank.com thread here. Lots of diorama images, mostly what we’ve seen before, but a few neat little tidbits like Kamakura, Red Claw Ninja, and the Tiger Claw ATV. Check out the gallery below and peruse this site until they get theirs back up.
Next in line for the Preview Night madness is The Terror Drome, who have started posting some images at their gallery here (but are also graciously allowing me to host them all at my site, too). Images below feature:
Close up images of the G.I. Joe “Desert 5-Pack”
The pilot of the Polar Shark Sub, Ice Storm
Miscellaneous Vehicles that we’ve seen already
Check out those images below, and don’t worry, there will be much more coming!
