When I first saw the COBRA Gunship in person at the Toy Fair in New York, I couldn’t have been less impressed. It looked basically like a silver slab of metal that just gets tossed through the air with no real means of propulsion or maneuvering. Well, none of that has changed, yet somehow, I’ve altered my feelings on the Gunship from “meh” to “gotta have it right now, dammit when is my BBTS order gonna get here, I’m dying over here!!!”
I’m not sure exactly why that is, whether it was Duck’s review over on JBL, or that it’s getting so much action in the trailers and TV spots. I’m easily swayed like that. :shifty:
At any rate, I’m really looking forward to getting the goofy thing in my hands right now, but Alexx’s pictures ease that pain just a little. Check out the thread here, and the images below.

As SanDiego ComicCon grows closer more and more secrets continue to be uncovered prior to the “official” reveal… this time credit The Terror Drome for uncovering some pictures of the upcoming Toys “R” Us Exclusive “Attack on the Pit”, Target Exclusive “Rescue Mission”, and the Target Exclusive “Past and Present” boxed set, which is a new one to us.
Attack on the Pit is a very nice looking set featuring Duke, Ripcord, Pit Commando, a Neo-Viper repaint and a Neo-Viper Officer, who looks awesome in the MARS Officer webgear!

We’d already knew about the Rescue Mission 4-Pack, but we get some additional pictures here of the set, which includes Snake Eyes, Duke, and two Neo-Viper repaints.

Lastly, a previous rumored set, but with no details, we get some pictures and details of the “Past and Present” set which apparently is a two pack of Snow Jobs with two Rockslides, one new one, and one what looks to be the Polar Battle Bear from the vintage days.

I gotta say, seeing all of these Neo-Vipers scattered in all of these various sets, the figure is really growing on me…and it appears even if you just buy a few exclusives this year you’ll get yourself a nice little squad! Thanks again to HissCommander of The Terror Drome for the info.

JoeBattleLines member Alexx has been pumping out these quickie reviews and image series solid for the past week, and I can’t get enough of ’em. The last one he did for Covert Operations Scarlett was especially painful, though, because he convinced me to buy a figure I otherwise wouldn’t have… but this time around, he hasn’t convinced me of anything, because I was already in the camp with both of these figures.
Yeah, even COBRA Commander.
I know, I know… this is NOT Cobra Commander. No, it’s not. This isn’t the Cobra Commander we’ve known off and on since 1982, but it IS the Cobra Commander for the Rise of COBRA universe, and that doesn’t make it any less legitimate. The Rise of COBRA is a totally different world for G.I. Joe…and just because this doesn’t fit your mold for ole chrome dome doesn’t mean it’s a bad toy. I mean, it doesn’t fit MY mold for Cobra Commander either, but the toy itself is still a whole lot of fun, in my mind. A little on the Darth Vader side, but still fun. Other fans must agree with me as well, as the figure has already sold out at Big Bad Toy Store, and I’ve seen many complaints on the forums about folks not being able to find him. Check out the links and galleries hosted below.

Okay, I wasn’t going to grab the Covert Operations Scarlett…I have the Desert Ambush version in her Reactive Armor (with the MUCH better head) so I felt no reason to get the one in her cammie jammies…well, until I saw some of Alexx’s damn pictures. He posted them in his usual spot on JoeBattleLines, and now I think I’m sold on this figure.

It’s not just the head swap either (though that definitely helps). It’s the range of motion, the accessories…it’s all really nicely done, even for a fairly dull BDU clad figure. I might just have to grab this one.

We’ve seen a lot of these images before, but not quite at this level of photo quality, so I thought it was worth posting again…mostly because nearly this entire wave is great! Agent Helix, Flash, Pit Commando, and General Hawk are absolutely ass-kickingly awesome. In fact, I’ve found quite the opposite from my normal opinion, I’m liking the Joe figures in general a heck of a lot more than the COBRA ones. A bizarre reversal.
Anyway, you can check out the images here, and I’ve also mirrored them below:

Big thanks to Shinnobi of JoeBattleLines for the info.
