Once again an overseas eBayer has debuted some new images of potential upcoming product for the Rise of COBRA toyline. All of this is unconfirmed and can only be considered rumor at this point, but among the images shown were:
Battle Damage Storm Shadow
Duke (Accelerator Suit)
Resolute Snake Eyes w/ a movie Snake Eyes head
Storm Shadow red and white repaint
The Doctor
Reactive Armor Ripcord
I’d say this is a clear indication that we will see Resolute Snake Eyes in at least some form during the movie line…but I have to admit, the head sculpt is one of my favorite parts about the figure…I really hope we don’t lose that in the process. The rest of this stuff has been seen in some form or function before, but with the paint apps, I am absolutely loving that battle damaged Storm Shadow. Loving it. I have no idea what’s up with those big ass metallic gauntlets, but the figure is cool, just the same. Hasbro continues to really raise the bar, and take some potentially limited designs and ramp them up into very nice looking toys. I’m really looking forward to building the “core team” of movie-accurate Joes and COBRA’s, and even random stuff like the battle damaged Stormy is very appealing.

Werecat from JoeSightings.com, who I’ve posted a Scarlett review from has posted another review, this time from the Rise of COBRA Cover Girl. Some nice images and a nice write up, to boot. Check out the review here, and the images mirrored below.
Some HissTank forum members, General Hawk59 and Steel Brigade have posted some new reviews of upcoming product (or potentially items that will not end up seeing release). There are a ton of images and some nice detailed writing about each of these items.
The Night Raven review can be found here, and I’ve mirrored a couple of pictures below…a lot more are posted at the previous link. Red Star and Scrap Iron are posted here, also with a small sample of images below. Red Star and Scrap Iron were slated for future single pack release, but got canned before they hit…will these updated versions appear somewhere down the line? No one knows for sure… one thing I do know is that they both feature a very nice set of changes that make them unique from their previous counterparts, and very reminiscent of the vintage versions as well.

General Hawk59 also a video review of the Night Raven as well:
Sicdunbine has posted some new images of the upcoming Destro 2-pack available exclusively at the San Diego ComicCon this summer. These pictures are very nice loose images with accessories. This two pack looks… stellar. Absolutely fantastic.
I really hope that this suited look gets translated to a more accessible figure at some point down the line, as it just looks about as perfect as it can get. I am absolutely in awe over how this figure came out. So far, the two versions of Destro we’ve seen have been among my favorite Rise of COBRA figures yet. Incredible!
Anyway, check out the images below.

Thanks very much to HissCommander from the Terror Drome for the information.
Another uncolored pre-production test shot has appeared on Asian auction site TaoBao, and it’s a weird one. It would appear to be an arctic figure of some kind, using a lot of Arctic Snake Eyes parts, but with a tall collar, and a new head, both of which end up looking a bit different. Check out the image mirrored below.
HissTank forum member acmilan8540 has revealed a quartet of apparent Target exclusives which contain some repainted vehicles and some of the figures we’ve recently seen debuted on eBay by overseas auctioners. Some Valor Vs. Venom pieces as well as the Anniversary COBRA CLAW with a nice assortment of vintage homage figures. The packs include:
Grand Slam w/ Air Assault Glider (Spy Troops repaint glider)
