by | Mar 31, 2009 | G.I. Joe, G.I. Joe Video Game, G.I. Joe: The Movie

Kotaku.com has uncovered a little bit of new information regarding the Nintendo DS version of the upcoming G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA video game.  Unlike the console game, which features primarilly a third-person shooter interface, the DS version will be a top down action game with some RPG elements mixed in.

According to Nick Pavlich, associate producer, “The game will share some fundamental designs with the console version… In the DS version you only control one character, there’s a slight RPG element — you can level up, get new weapons and new outfits.”

The article also reveals that there are 6 playable Joe characters and 5 playable COBRA ones.  Click here to check it out!

Single pack “General Hawk” NOT “General Hawk”? – Sgt. Stone revealed!

by | Mar 31, 2009 | G.I. Joe, G.I. Joe Toys, G.I. Joe: The Movie

Ever since ws_toys put up the auction for a supposed single-pack “General Hawk” figure, Joe fans all over the ‘net have been wondering if that’s what or who he really is.  The figure looked very “non-Quaid” like and totally different than the Hawk that was coming with The Pit.   Well, ws_toys has changed up his auction a bit, and now this same figure is being referred to as “Sgt. Stone”.

Who is this “Sgt. Stone”?  Does he have a role in the film, or is he simply a totally new, random character?  Is it supposed to be Flint, or some homage to Lt. Stone?  This perhaps brings up more questions than answers, but regardless, check out the auction right here and judge for yourself.  Images of this mystery character are below.

Silver and Gold plated Storm Shadow(s) on eBay

by | Mar 30, 2009 | G.I. Joe, G.I. Joe Toys

plate_stormshadowNo, they’re not official, but they are neat little items, even if they do appear to be knock-offs.  eBay seller shashentao has posted an auction for what appear to be vac-metallized “chrome” Storm Shadow figures in silver and gold.  These are not official items, but they are a pretty neat eye-catcher for anyone’s collection.

They appear to be fully poseable, though, being knock offs, there are always some questions about durability.
