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.

Rosa from Newsy.com was kind enough to direct me to a video on their site offering some insight from the recent news about the Marvel Comics and Disney “merger” (or takeover, as would be more appropriate). They posted a great video looking at different media angles as well as fan opinions, and I’ve embedded it below:
Time will tell what this ultimately means for both companies, as well as their licensors (like Hasbro), but you can be sure there will be some sorts of changes coming down the pipe. You can find the original video on their site here.
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!

I know my reviews have slacked a bit, but only because I couldn’t find these items in stores! Finally got my hands on what I wanted, though, and the most in depth reviews you’ll find anywhere have been posted to the Rise of COBRA Review Page! Also, follow the links below.
Two VERY cool figures. Awesome additions to the already impressive Rise of COBRA library.
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!
