The reliable cmderinchief from CoilClub.com comes through with an awesome scan of what looks to be the insert catalog that comes with the Night Raven. We’ve all seen side one already:
Well, apparently on the flip-side, is a breathtaking image of the Night Raven in mid flight. A very cool picture of a very cool plane!
Definitely nice! Keep your eyes peeled to GeneralsJoes over the rest of the weekend as well, as we promise a bunch of new images of the movie Breaker, Zartan, and Shipwreck coming over the next 24 hours or so!

It seems a bit strange, that with the bang-bang nature of G.I. Joe news in recent weeks, to be writing a post about finally picking up DVD pack #3 (that’s the “Arise, Serpentor, Arise” pack containing Dusty and Montezuma’s Skeleton, for all of you who have moved on from such ventures). Granted, I could have picked this one up sooner, but I was picky about finding one with a fully-accessorized Dusty.

Destro from HissTank has continued his coverage of Wave 1 of the upcoming G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA action figures with a bunch of pictures of Ripcord in his Delta 6 Accelerator Suit.
I know even I was a bit leery about the accelerator suits when pictures were shown quite a while ago, but seeing them in action in the Super Bowl spot changed my mind quick. Seeing this figure continues on that positive vibe. I’m a big fan of the sci-fi aspect of G.I. Joe, from the Mega Marines all the way up to Sigma 6, so I’m really digging these “super suits”. I’ve got a short list of movie-themed figures on my “must buy” list, but Ripcord is definitely one of them. I like this figure a lot.
For more pictures that I took at Toy Fair check out the gallery below.

Destro from HissTank has posted a review of the Wave 1 Heavy Duty from the upcoming Rise of COBRA toyline. A pretty typical offering with a mixed bag of good and bad…I am warming up to the movie toys, but this was pretty high on my list until the review, now I’m not so sure. I may just wait and get the uniformed one when he finally shows up:
Kudos to Destro for getting his grubby mits on this thing early. Nice to see some good pics and some insight! Click here to check out the thread with a ton of new pictures.

Overseas seller ws_toys comes through again, posting up a Rise of COBRA M.A.R.S. Industries Trooper figure to go along with the previously listed Officer.
I’ve also mirrored the pics below:
I’m not one for jumping on these Asian early birds, but I snagged these two figures. I can’t really explain it, but for some reason I find these two figures appealing, even in their never-ending grayness. The Officer is considerably cooler than the Trooper with all of the layered armor on his arms and legs, but I really love the tooling of both figures. The Trooper’s weapons are pretty much useless, but the figure itself is neat. I think these make for some pretty cool preview figures, though I don’t see myself going overboard on the movie stuff in general. Thanks to Hicks Royel of HissTank.com for the lead on this one.
