ComicsContinuum has posted a “First Look” 5-Page preview of the upcoming G.I. Joe: COBRA #2, which hits local comic shops on Wednesday, April 15th.
Written by Christos Gage and Mike Costa, and with art by Antonio Fuso, the book centers on G.I. Joe undercover agent Chuckles attempting to infiltrate the most secretive terrorist sect known to mankind. Along the way we see some familiar faces and watch Chuckles slow descent into the terrorist underworld. Check out the 5-page preview here.
In my personal opinion, this is the best G.I. Joe book I’ve read from IDW yet, I’m greatly looking forward to Issue #2 next week!
Thanks to “Lucs” from HissTank.com for the info!

Folks should recall a short while ago that the now infamous chrome plated Storm Shadows were first seen on Asian forum ACToys.net. Well, now we’re seeing a very mysterious new HISS Tank making a similar appearence.
With the prevalence of Hasbro test shots and less official items, one has to wonder what the source of this vehicle is, but wherever it came from, it looks really cool! Check out the thread on ACToys.net here, and the image is mirrored below!

Just last week, Sideshow Collectibles did a great video feature on their upcoming Storm Shadow 12″ figure, and they continue that trend with a look at the upcoming COBRA Trooper in their very well done “Backstage Pass” video segment.

by generalsjoes | Apr 10, 2009 | G.I. Joe, G.I. Joe: Resolute
A random post by Smokescreen (from JBL and One-18th.com) prompted me to investigate, and it would appear that G.I. Joe: Resolute may initially air on Cartoon Network Friday, April 24th from 9:00pm – 10:00pm!
A post on JoeBattlelines by Smokescreen reported that his Comcast DVR showed the program available to record Friday, instead of the original Saturday airdate, and a short hop over to TVGuide.com confirms that it is listed on Cartoon Network’s schedule for Friday, April 24th from 9-10pm. Granted, Cartoon Network’s schedule doesn’t go out that far, and we still have no confirmation from Hasbro, so take this with a grain of salt, but upon first glance it certainly looks to me that Resolute will air on Cartoon Network April 24th from 9:00-10:00pm.
Rejoice!

MaxPower over at the JBL forums received his Hall of Heroes figures in the mail, and did a very good comparison/review of the recently released Hall of Heroes single-carded figures. He breaks them down piece-by-piece and compares them to their equivolent releases already in the Anniversary line.
The in depth thread is here, and images are mirrored below. Thanks to MaxPower at JBL for the pics!

A repaint of the 25th Anniversary Scarlett figure, painted to resemble the European Exclusive Action Force “Quarrel” from back in the day, has surfaced on TaoBao.com. Current speculation is that this was the base figure for the unreleased “Arctic Scarlett” that was slated to come with COBRA Commander in a wave of Comic Packs that never saw the light of day. The translated description of the auction also comes out as “Hasbro GIJOE special female red hair color version of the snow” which also supports that theory.
Check the auction out here.
Thanks to HissCommander from The Terror Drome for the info!

Over the past couple of weeks, eBay watchers have spotted some strange new Storm Shadow figures cropping up for sale from overseas. Dubbed the “Storm Shadow Forever” figures, the two COBRA ninja’s are deco’d in vac metal silver and gold, complete with a nice, official looking COBRA sigil. Make no mistake about it, these are not official items, but they’re at least unique in their own way.
Friend of GeneralsJoes, cmderinchief (from Coil Club and JoeBattleLines, naturally… :shifty: ) got his hands on a pair of these and took some very cool pictures. Check out the thread on JBL here, or check out the images mirrored below. Not for everyone, I don’t think, but pretty neat, just the same.
