Screenshots from Rise of COBRA game trailer

The folks over at The Terror Drome posted up their own gallery of a few screen shots from the video game trailer, but being the anal retentive guy that I am, I wanted to go out and get my own stuff together…so I dove into the trailer and took my own set of shots, and have posted the gallery below.

Some interesting stuff throughout…a shot of a cool looking G.I. Joe Hummer, as well as a bomber jet.  Some interesting pics of funky looking COBRA Troopers that don’t really resemble anything we’ve seen so far.  And of course, some detailed shots of the familiar movie stuff duking it out in game form.  I don’t buy many games these days, but I will be picking this one up.

Anyway, check out the gallery below.

Some COBRA Island 7-Pack information from Collectors’ Club newsletter

Some folks are starting to receive their latest Collectors’ Club newsletters for the month of April…but unfortunately there is no additional information on the 2009 Convention Exclusive figures within.  🙁

However, not all news is bad news.  According to GGPIKE of the Coil Club, the newsletter does have a very nice (though apparently somewhat small) picture spread of the upcoming Attack on COBRA Island 7-Packs with pictures of the figures and all of the gear they will be coming with!  Unfortunately, no pictures are available, but with help from George, I can describe what each figure looks to come equipped with:

More Canadian Joe Con Exclusives revealed!

In the last issue of the JoeCanuck newsletter, we saw line art for Backstop, and a mysterious, bald black-clad COBRA agent who are slated to be part of the exclusive package available at the upcoming Canadian G.I. Joe Convention.  Well, over at JoeCanuck.com more details have emerged, including the “Dead Eye”, Backstop’s personal tank!

Based off the Armadillo, it uses a nicely custom sticker sheet to separate it from the familiar style and has a very unique storyline that ties it in with the rest of the set.  A “must have” for any fans going over the border for the May 2nd show!  Check out the thread on JoeCanuck here for more details, images are mirrored below.  Also, be sure to visit CanadianJoeCon.com for all of the details on the upcoming convention.

More Rise of COBRA Destro figure pics!

cmderinchief has gotten his hands on Destro from the Rise of COBRA toyline, and shared some more pictures!  The gallery is below, and discussion threads can be found on JoeBattleLines and Coil Club.

This is not only one of the best movie-era figures I’ve seen yet, this is one of the best representations of Destro in the 3 3/4″ scale that I have ever seen.  A remarkably cool looking figure with some very neat accessories.  Well done, Hasbro!  After seeing fan outcry about COBRA Commander over the last few days, it amazes me at just how “right” Destro came out.
