An ACToys.net forum member has posted a number of other pictures featuring the Rise of COBRA Destro figure as well as Neo-Viper, the Baroness, the MARS Trooper and Officer, as well as Accelerator Suit Ripcord. You can get an idea of the scale of Destro’s mammoth rocket launcher as well as a few nice “action shots”. The original thread can be found here, and I’ve also mirrored the images below.
Thanks as always to HissCommander of The Terror Drome for the info.

In a surprise announcement, Sideshow Collectibles has announced the production of G.I. Joe Environments in scale with their 12″ collectible action figures. The first announced item is the “Recon at Waypoint 12 with Timber” designed to work with Snake Eyes. This is an amazing looking piece, and there’s a preview of this item visible here.
No price is announced yet, but I really love how this thing looks. Makes me wonder just what they might come up with to work with the COBRA guys. Wow.

Dark Horizons wasn’t the only website in attendance for the 5-minute sizzle shown for The Rise of COBRA a few days ago, and another report has surfaced giving the lowdown of what was shown. IGN Australia also had a chance to check out the effects-laden G.I. Joe preview and gives their own report here.
They give many of the same details that Dark Horizons did, but manage to go into better detail about certain sequences as well. There may be some minor spoilers tossed about.
