Ever since late last year, Wal-Mart computer listings have given us a great rundown of potential product that’s in the pipeline. Most recently it’s led to heartbreak with the announcements that Waves 14 & 15 as well as the latest comic packs and vehicles have all been pushed aside, but as it leads into movie stuff, I think we can start to at least somewhat depend on these listings to give us a foundation of what to expect. Keep in mind, though, as always, these are unconfirmed reports and unconfirmed listings, so take them all with a mammoth sized grain of salt.
Well the “Super Poseable Blog” has reported that Wal-Mart computers have revealed the following information:
GI JOE Single figures $7.88
- 65356944697 Single pack Charbroil

Film review website Dark Horizons got a chance to catch a special five-minute screener of footage for the upcoming G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA motion picture. The screener appears to have been a mish-mash of various footage expanded from the Super Bowl teaser with some other new scenes mixed in here and there.
Reports from the site are mixed, labeling it as “…it is what it is. a Stephen Sommers film.” They also describe is as being “as subtle as a sledgehammer”. However they also report that most of the screener was just quick cuts of action scenes, no real dialogue, but I have a sneaking suspicion that’s probably what the movie will end up being as well.
Regardless, some very interesting tidbits, which you can read for yourselves right here. Thanks to Shin Densetsu and Counterpoint of HissTank.com for the information.

GeneralsJoes has received high res pictures of the upcoming Rise of Destro figure. These are the same images that HissTank received a few days ago, but we have also received them straight from the source. Along with these pictures comes the following detail: Destro’s helmet is NOT removable, it is a head sculpt.
Meanwhile, check out the non-watermarked images below:

ws_toys strikes again with another auction of a loose sample from the upcoming first wave of Rise of COBRA action figures due this summer. Ripcord in his “Delta” Accelerator Suit is now available here.
Best thing about these auctions, though, are the great, detailed pictures. Check them out below:
I know there have been plenty of complainers in regards to these Accelerator Suits, but I’m not one of them, especially seeing them in plastic form. I think these look pretty nasty, and I definitely plan on adding Ripcord and Duke in their Delta suits to my collection. Hell, I might pick up some extras and outfit a whole team. I loved the Mega Marines back in the 90’s, and in my mind, these fit right in with that concept.

Along with the mysterious auction for the crimson-themed Tomax figure, TaoBao has also given birth to a number of other auctions for upcoming items. From Combat Heroes to The Rise of COBRA, things look to be heating up in the G.I. Joe pre-production world. If you like what you see, you may want to jump on it, especially on these Combat Heroes that were stated to be cancelled in the latest round of Q & A’s. Check out the auction links below, and the image gallery at the end of the page. Once again, full credit to HissCommander of The Terror Drome for passing along the intel.
A strange looking test shot of a potential upcoming motorcycle was also posted. This certainly looks to be the same as the Ninja Lightning motorcycle that was released for the Valor Vs. Venom line, so it remains to be seen if this is something specific to the movie or what:
There was also an auction for a non-colored test shot of the upcoming Rise of COBRA Breaker posted here.
Certainly an influx of interesting G.I. Joe related product as the movie inches closer. Keep your eyes peeled, and if you see something cool, please let me know!

It looks like the folks at HissTank.com spoke with the eBay seller and have received some more great pictures of the upcoming G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA Destro figure. They feature front, rear, and other close up pictures of the entire figure. Some pretty cool shots, check them out here.
