SNAKE EYES from HissTank.com brings it to my attention, that NSA from fansite Fighting118th.com was at the SDCC Preview Night last night and posted some fantastic pictures on his site here and here. Lots of great shots with angles we haven’t seen before, including a GREAT shot of what appears to be a Resolute themed Stalker action figure! Yeah!
Anyway, check out the amazing pictures below…best images I’ve seen from SDCC to date. Nice job!

Well, not a whole lot of new news, per se, but some nicely clear images of figures we knew were on the horizon. During SDCC, they gave out a G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA catalog, and HissTank’s got some nice images of what was shown inside, including clear pictures of:
- Kamakura
- Nano-Viper
- Night Adder
- Red Fang Ninja
Also an image of an upcoming Ninja Battles Scene Pack is shown as well, with Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow repaints packaged with the Valor Vs. Venom Arashikage Temple playset. Some cool stuff. Check the mirrored images below.

Also shown at SDCC were images of some more upcoming 12″ product including:
- Destro
- Hawk
- Heavy Duty
- Duke (Reactive Armor)

My thoughts on this stuff (well, the 4 inch stuff, anyway) are pretty positive. A lot of remixed parts, but remixed in a GREAT way. Anyone who reads my diatribes knows that I love new characters, so with Night Adder and Red Fang Ninja (did I actually call him Red CLAW Ninja last night? Oops…) I’ve loving what I’m seeing. The fact that Night Adder uses Resolute Roadblock’s tooling is icing on the cake. Some great stuff to look forward to, hopefully we get some nice, clear pics of the product shots in the next few days.

The Terror Drome continues to upload images from the preview night floor in San Diego, and a few more have caught my eye. These images contain the following:
- The Doctor in white labcoat confirmed as a secondary release
- Volcano-Viper, the driver of the Lava Pod (MolePod repaint)
- Red Claw Ninja (I believe)

Next in line for the Preview Night madness is The Terror Drome, who have started posting some images at their gallery here (but are also graciously allowing me to host them all at my site, too). Images below feature:
- Close up images of the G.I. Joe “Desert 5-Pack”
- The pilot of the Polar Shark Sub, Ice Storm
- Miscellaneous Vehicles that we’ve seen already
Check out those images below, and don’t worry, there will be much more coming!

Okay, I perused the gallery over at Toy News International, and there wasn’t a whole lot of consequence. Well, that’s not entirely true. The diorama buildings in those images pretty much blew my head clean off. Absolutely amazing…I’d wager the fine folks at Diorama Dreams had just a little to do with those…pure brilliance.
As far as product goes, mostly what we’ve seen before, with a few gems mixed in:
- The Doctor in a white labcoat. Planned variant? Another figure entirely? Hmmm…
- Dusty standing next to the Desert Rockslide; Very nice camouflage patterns on both, but still repaint stuff.
- Mini Subs! Hell yeah…we’ve seen funky multicolored test shots, but no actual in-color production shots of what looks to be the Polar Shark Sub w/ Ice Storm (though they almost look like Volcano Vipers). These things look pretty nasty.
All images, again, came from the Toy News International Rise of COBRA gallery.

Right out of the starting gate, Toy News International has begun posting images of Preview Night for San Diego ComicCon. The Full gallery can be viewed right here! I’m going to digest this for a minute then post again with my thoughts.
