Yesterday, eBay seller ws_toys posted auctions for a carded COBRA Commander, Snake Eyes, and Storm Shadow from the upcoming Rise of COBRA action figure line. Well, he has generously supplied more pictures (watermark free!) and I’ve got a gallery of those images below.
Credit goes to HissCommander of the Terror Drome for the heads up!
Along with the auction images, Destro from HissTank has also posted an image of the cardback featuring the filecard. Check out that thread here!
ws_toys bucks the trend this week and instead of offering high quality loose samples, he’s giving us some Mint on Card action figure goodness! Upcoming The Rise of COBRA Cobra COMMANDER figure is on eBay right here! Not only is this a good chance to own this figure months ahead of time, but it gives us our first ever glimpse of how COBRA Commander is going to appear in the upcoming film! ws_toys has actually posted three MOC auctions, the links are below, with images below that.
HUGE thanks to cmderinchief of JoeBattleLines and the Coil Club for this information!!
cmdrinchief of The Coil Club and JoeBattleLines shares some pictures of the new upcoming Rise of COBRA Neo-Viper, showing some nice detail of his head sculpt and gear. This figure is the same as the MARS Industries Officer and Trooper, only with a new head sculpt and some new accessories, though I am a big fan of those accessories. I know lots of folks are panning the futuristic look of some of the weapons, but I think a lot of them look pretty cool. I hate the gun that comes with the MARS Trooper, but that’s just because it looks goofy, not necessarily because it’s a futuristic weapon…the guns that come with the Neo-Viper actually look pretty bad ass.
The original thread can be found on JBL here, and I’ve hosted a small gallery of the images below.
The MARS Industries 3-Pack with an Officer and two Troopers is slated to be released as a “preview” item in May to whet the appetites of would-be G.I. Joe buyers. I recently got my hands on these figures and decided to do a semi-review. Are these figures any good? Will getting these in hand make folks excited for the upcoming toys, or are they not impressive enough to warrant the enthusiasm?
A kind benefactor has supplied GeneralsJoes with some pictures taken at the Toy Fair in Melbourne Australia held over the past few days. No new product was shown, but there are some nice pictures of G.I. Joe and non-G.I. Joe items that Joe fans might find interesting. It’s also just cool to note that the Rise of COBRA line is going to get some heavy international love.
Pics and info can also be found at Skymates – the G.I. Joe Australian Collectors Message Board. Any of you Joe collectors from down under, definitely check it out! Meanwhile, the pictures are below:

A huge thanks to the guys at Skymates for supplying the pics and giving me the heads up on this!
