ws_toys, infamous overseas eBay seller has posted an auction for the Rise of COBRA Destro! This is the first ever picture of the upcoming Destro figure, and features the famous COBRA villain in full European regalia with his metal battle mask. A very, VERY cool look! Pictures are below:
Canadian seller greenninjav has posted a listing for the upcoming M.A.R.S. Troopers 3-Pack. The figures and accessories themselves are loose, but the auction comes complete with the box.
The rumors persist that this item is a “preview” set that will likely be hitting store shelves in May, but for the impatient folks, now is your chance to take a crack at this one a bit early. Click here to check out the auction.
HissTank.com continues their gallery and reviews of the Wave 1 figures from G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA. This time around, they give us Breaker.
I can definitely see both sides of the Breaker comments. Part of me thinks this figure is fairly dull, although his accessory compliment is pretty impressive. I love the laptop, I really like how it plugs in with his missile launcher/surveillance dish, but he’s definitely in sort of a “desk jockey” uniform. I’m certain once we see this figure in his full high tech suit (no pun intended) many folks will be changing their tune.
I’ve got a couple galleries of this figure myself, from Toy Fair, and from a week or two ago. Check those out below:
GeneralsJoes has received some detailed pictures of never-before-seen features of the upcoming COBRA Steel Crusher Humvee from the G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA movie line. This will be a Bravo scaled vehicle released with the COBRA Nitro-Viper.
At first it appeared to be your run-of-the-mill chunky almost Playskool-like jeep that served little form or function. Every closer look, though, gives it some more personality and more appeal. The swing-down armored roof and windscreen, the hidden missile launchers…lots of cool little details that each add something to the overall function of the vehicle. It still doesn’t blow me away, but each added detail makes it a little more cooler to me.

eBay seller toyslandco out of Hong Kong has posted a number of auctions for carded wave 1 figures from G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA. The auctions include:
So the question is… these really aren’t hitting until July 11th? Sure, we’ve seen some sporadic listings and pictures for figures here and there, but a full blown carded Wave 1 assortment of figures not slated to ship for another 4 months seems incredible. One thing that I’m really happy to see is that some folks are already driving these prices up, which is an indication that there is some demand for the figures, even in the movie style. Glad to see it.
A big thanks to HissCommander of The Terror Drome for the info, check out the gallery below to see pics from the auctions.
Destro over at HissTank continues to make up for lost time as he posts an extensive gallery of the G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA Scarlett figure from Wave 1.
Decked out in a fairly standard looking camouflage uniform, this would appear to be a version of the G.I. Joe intelligence operative that isn’t seeing field combat, and instead is behind a desk or on base. Honestly, this is probably my least favorite figure that I’ve seen so far. While many fans are lambasting the “battle suit” look and begging for a more standard military appearence I find myself really liking the combat suits, and the stuff in standard military fatigues is fairly tiresome. From a sculpting standpoint the figure itself seems to look fine, but when I drop the cash on Scarlett, I want the one in full “battle rattle“.
Gotta love that spring-loaded mega-crossbow! Beautiful in its cheeziness!
