For fans of weapon replicas, it looks like cool things could be coming your way as the release of The Rise of COBRA draws closer. The latest issue of Previews Magazine has listings and an image of these two swords being released by United Cutlery. The picture is hosted below, and thanks to Jeff Bohn for the information.
Smokescreen over on one-18th.com has managed to get his hands on a pre-production version of the upcoming G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA Flash figure, and posted it up on his site here.
The pictures are nice and detailed with some cool shots of angles we haven’t seen before…I love the fact that the sculpting on his back looks like the old school backpack. A very neat touch. Flash is rumored to be a playable character in the upcoming G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA video game by Electronic Arts.
Toyssir898 of HissTank.com has posted some great new images of previously unseen figures! According to the thread title, the pictures show Kamakura, various Neo-Vipers, and Night Adder. These names coincide with a past “Wal-Mart” listing as well, though it’s unclear exactly who is who. Check out the original thread here, or just hit up the mirrored images below.
If “Night Adder” is the dude with the dog, I am LOVING it. Very sinister looking figure with some absolutely bad ass web gear. It looks to be the gear that originally came with Resolute Roadblock, and it looks incredible here. Holy crap.

As we get closer and closer to the release date of G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA, things are going to keep on rolling, and the Rise of COBRA website has gotten updated with some new content and a nice layout. The latest screenshots are online and there’s a pretty cool “Developers Log”

It only makes sense that at the 2009 Licensing Expo, there would be a pretty strong showing for Hasbro brands with all of their properties coming together this year. And indeed, both Transformers and G.I. Joe had good representation, with some images showing up on HissTank.com. The most intriguing image is for a strange looking three-wheeled motorcycle that may or may not end up on the big screen. Check out the images mirrored below!

We’re hoping to get our hands on some more images as well, so keep coming back!
Dark 5cythe from the Terror Drome got a chance to get some hands on time with the Rise of COBRA video game at E3, and reports on his findings here.
“I’ve been at the LA Convention Center for E3 all day! I’m tired, but excited! I got to play the Xbox 360 and Nintendo DS versions of the G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra game. And it doesn’t disapoint.
Let me get something out of the way, this is a movie game. But they made the wise choice of NOT mirroring the movies events. The quality is nice and the gameplay was fun. This isn’t Gears of War as you can tell from the graphics, but it doesn’t make it any less fun.
It felt very much inspired by Contra — a-run-n-gun feel to the game. It’s a fun shoot em up, that anyone can pick up and play.”
