Cmderinchief from the Coil Club and JoeBattleLines has come through with a ton of new pictures of some upcoming Rise of COBRA items…we’ve seen them all before, but these new images shed some nice new light on the figure details.
Grand Slam – Apparently an upcoming Target Exclusive, which comes with an Air Assault Glider repaint first released during Spy Troops, Grand Slam comes with mostly Flash/Grand Slam parts, but with the new Steeler/Clutch lower legs (which the upcoming Zap also sports), the Ace head, and the HISS Driver belt. Gary’s mini review is on JBL here, and some images are mirrored below:

Frostbite – A repaint/minor kitbash from Arctic Snake Eyes and Beachhead’s head sculpt, this somewhat bland figure looks to come with the Ice Dagger, which is a blue repaint of the awesome Valor Vs. Venom Ice Saber. Gary’s thoughts can be read here.

General Hawk – The figure slated to come with the Pit playset looks to be a fairly accurate version of Quaid’s G.I. Joe leader from the film, and it’s sort of a shame that the only place he’ll be found is with a $100 playset. Gary gives a few thoughts here, and images are below as well.

Paris Pursuit Snake Eyes – Without a doubt the “coup de grace” of these figures that Gary is covering, this is one awesome looking Snake Eyes. I continue to be surprised that Hasbro can continue to make versions of Snake Eyes that still appeal. Between the Resolute version and this one, they are some high demand, very cool looking figures, yet are more versions of the same character that was already redundant 7 years ago. Gary’s write up is here and the great, detailed images are below.

Thanks as always to Gary for taking some precious weekend time and doing up a ton of these pictures. Some great info and detail there, and a big help for folks who are considering what to purchase when July rolls around.

Smokescreen over on one-18th.com has obtained a pre-production version of a mysterious “battle damaged” Storm Shadow, rumored to be “Arctic Assault”. It’s quite an interesting looking figure, with a torn tunic, slices throughout his torso and some very strange oversized gauntlets. Whatever the ultimate destination, the figure rocks, I can’t wait to pick it up on store shelves, in whatever capacity it comes. Check out the full review here, and take a peek at the images mirrored below.

Terror Drome forum member evil129 has stumbled up the entirety of Wave 1 from the upcoming G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA toyline at a Myer store in Australia! He reports on the find here, and images can be seen below. It’s getting closer!

I know there aren’t many Sigma 6 fans around, but I’m hoping those of you who don’t like that particular branch of the G.I. Joe mythos will still check out the “Celebration” running here on GeneralsJoes all next week! There will be custom showcases, artwork, images, cartoon information, interviews, etc… just lots of content based on everyone’s (not so) favorite eight inch toyline.
I totally understand why much of the fandom has issues with Sigma 6, but I loved it, and I wanted to take a week to show that even with the larger scale and the animated style, there was still stuff to love about it.
Starting Monday, June 8th, the Sigma 6 Celebration will run all week long (straight through til Sunday, June 13th). Of course there will still be an influx of other news and information for whatever you’re into, but for Sigma 6 fans (or even folks who want to read some interesting stuff, no matter what it’s based on) Monday should hopefully start a fun walk down memory lane. Hope you enjoy it!
