Thanks to SNAKE EYES from HissTank.com for pointing out some images that are leaking out there of four figures that are being labelled as a Target Exclusive “Rescue Mission” 4-Pack. This pack appears to include:
Duke (Spandex shirt with camouflage pants)
Snake Eyes (Resolute body YES!! w/ Paris Pursuit Snake Eyes head)
2 Neo-Vipers
I’ve mirrored the images below. This info, of course, should be taken with a grain of salt as it is currently unconfirmed. San Diego ComicCon should provide tons of verified information about what’s coming the rest of the year.
no images were found
Another item of note is another Neo-Viper repaint, this time in black and silver. You can see that image below:
Thanks to ctunwrapped for posting a new TV Spot that aired on television this past weekend…it’s available on YouTube embedded below:
Looking very cool. I know there are a lot of the same scenes, but every run of trailers is like that these days. Ominous music, some very cool looking action. I’m getting more and more fired up for August 7th.
A strange thing happened to me last week: I bought some Joes.
Now, I’m not having a crisis and I’m not selling my collection (sorry, Sam). Those who read my (few) contributions to GeneralsJoes know that money’s been tight, so my collecting habits have been toned down so far in 2009. What spurred me out of my collector’s hibernation, though, was the presence of little red stickers where there normally aren’t little red stickers in my favorite part of the toy aisle…
ComicArtFans member Shane Simek has posted 8 pages of lineart from an unpublished #0 issue that eventually got dumped for the story IDW went with when the format of the Joe book changed in production.
With art by Robert Atkins and a story written by Larry Hama, some of the stuff looks a lot more retro in nature, with some really dramatic action sequences as well, especially for only an 8-page layout. Check out the great images right here.
An image has popped up in some of the usual spots of the upcoming single-packed General Hawk figure due for release in the Rise of COBRA line. This figure is considerably different than the version that comes with The Pit, but I don’t believe we have seen any accessories for him yet. Well, this new image is a packaged sample of this figure…showing a jetpack! A very cool touch, and a nice homage to the 1991 version. Figure actually looks really cool.
Starting off slow as the “Street Date” approaches, the Big Bad Toy Store has posted pre-orders for the upcoming Rise of COBRA Night Raven and G.I. Joe playset The Pit! Check out the sure-to-be growing Rise of COBRA section here!
Buckle your seatbelts, like it or not, The Rise of COBRA is coming quick.
