Two great tastes that taste great together… Resolute and Sigma 6! The perfect marraige.
All credit goes to Jsalwen from JoeBattleLines, who stepped up and took to the sewing machine to blend the Sigma 6 universe and the Resolute universe in a way I’ve only dreamed of…and produced this amazing Sigma 6 Resolute Destro! Check out the thread here, and drool over the hand-sewn greatness below.

As we get closer and closer to the release date of G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA, things are going to keep on rolling, and the Rise of COBRA website has gotten updated with some new content and a nice layout. The latest screenshots are online and there’s a pretty cool “Developers Log”

It only makes sense that at the 2009 Licensing Expo, there would be a pretty strong showing for Hasbro brands with all of their properties coming together this year. And indeed, both Transformers and G.I. Joe had good representation, with some images showing up on HissTank.com. The most intriguing image is for a strange looking three-wheeled motorcycle that may or may not end up on the big screen. Check out the images mirrored below!

We’re hoping to get our hands on some more images as well, so keep coming back!
Terror Drome members spacemonkeymafia and Roadblock Recall have posted a nice review of the so-far unreleased Resolute styled Baroness figure. Based strongly on the figure that came with the most recent COBRA 5-Pack, this version looks to be a bit bluer in color, has a new head sculpt, and a ton of new weapons.

Dark 5cythe from the Terror Drome got a chance to get some hands on time with the Rise of COBRA video game at E3, and reports on his findings here.
“I’ve been at the LA Convention Center for E3 all day! I’m tired, but excited! I got to play the Xbox 360 and Nintendo DS versions of the G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra game. And it doesn’t disapoint.
Let me get something out of the way, this is a movie game. But they made the wise choice of NOT mirroring the movies events. The quality is nice and the gameplay was fun. This isn’t Gears of War as you can tell from the graphics, but it doesn’t make it any less fun.
It felt very much inspired by Contra — a-run-n-gun feel to the game. It’s a fun shoot em up, that anyone can pick up and play.”

GameTrailers.com has posted some nice gameplay footage from E3 of the upcoming G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA. Check out the site here, or check out the embedded video below. Big thanks to HissCommander from the Terror Drome for the information.
HissTank has gotten their hands on some pictures of items still due for release, including the Pit Commando, Helix, and Flash, and has posted those images online here, including a bunch of shots of the gear that may or may not come with these characters. I’ve also mirrored the images below.
Thanks to Shin Densetsu of HissTank for pointing these out!

Videogame supersite IGN got a chance to have a hands on with the upcoming G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA at E3, and they’ve reported mixed results. Greg Miller writes”
“Really, that’s all there is to say about Joe. You just go through the levels mowing everything down. If you’re playing by yourself, you can switch characters at anytime while tackling the game’s three difficulties; there are going to be 20 missions with about two to five sections in each mission; and dialogue pops up in text boxes with the speaking character’s image (there are no voices for the conversations).”
Sounds like some typical licensed fare, but I still think for the Joe fan in us, there may be some things to enjoy. Guess we’ll find out in July. To check out the article click here.
Big thanks to JoeBattleLines for breaking the news!

Along with our earlier press release on Hasbro licensing, Playthings has a report on what sorts of opportunities the toy giant has for books and other literature.
According to Michael Kelly, Senior Global Publishing Manager, “Our worldwide publishing program is an integral part of Hasbro’s strategy to create cohesive global brands. The team has created a long-term story arc for each IP which provides yet another way for fans to enjoy these amazing sagas. The history of the brands, combined with the depth of the characters and the layer of the films lends incredibly well to creating truly exciting and immersive publishing works. We were highly selective in choosing these publishers to work alongside Hasbro to bring Transformers and G.I. Joe brands to life on book pages ranging from color/activity books to storybooks, novelty books and novels.”
