International seller ws_toys has posted a G.I. Joe: Rise of COBRA Breaker auction with much larger and more detailed pictures of the G.I. Joe communications expert. Check out the auction here. As suspected, the figure comes with a lot of gear, and ends up looking a bit better with his camouflage vest…not quite so scrawny.
Still going to have to wait until I see these in hand before I’m 100% committed to anything, but always cool to see new pictures. Thanks to Destro at HissTank for the heads up.
Picture of his gear follows:

The gentlemen over at CoilClub.com have scored an exclusive once again, this time with a catalog image from the upcoming Rise of COBRA movie line. A lot of the pictures are stuff we’ve already seen, but the infamous “Pit” is showcased for the first time!
Check out the pictures below, and make sure to check out the originals over at CoilClub.

Ebay seller Go_Labrador gives up a couple more pictures of the new Combat Heroes, this time featuring Duke vs. COBRA Commander. This is a little bit more detailed look at how COBRA Commander might appear in the film. A big emphasis on might. 😉
Thanks to Destro at HissTank for the heads up, the images are below:

For fans of the kiddified “Combat Heroes” line, there was an overseas auction for an upcoming movie set, Ripcord vs. Destro (although the auction has already been won and the items are no longer for sale).
What is even more interesting is that the auction shows a picture of the back of the package, which reveals an interesting look for COBRA Commander (as well as Destro in his infamous metal mask). I’m loving the Combat Heroes, but I’m loving the sneak peek into some movie designs even more. I’m sure there will be a fair share of complaints about the movie look for COBRA Commander, but time will tell how it translates on screen. A big thanks as always to cmdrinchief from the Coil Club for the intel.

Joining People.com and Wired.com, entertainment site AccessHollywood.com has posted an article revealing close up pictures of the upcoming Ripcord (Accelerator Suit) and Heavy Duty figures from the G.I. Joe: Rise of COBRA movie line. They’ve also posted more official pictures of Hawk, Duke, and The Baroness.
Fans who detest the spring-loaded weapons have nothing to fear as it looks like each figure comes with a nice allotment of more standard weaponry as well. The figures are looking pretty nice overall!
A big thanks to backpack from The Terror Drome forums for this news!

All right…as sad as it may sound, I’ve been reflecting on the movie vehicles, and on the fandom reaction to them, and figured I should toss in a more elaborate two cents than I did earlier this morning when the news broke.
It seems as if the vehicles are taking a page from the figures, with a mixture of existing and new tooling (though a lot more new than reused in this first run), and like the figures, the results are a little bit mixed.
