Yesterday GeneralsJoes broke the news about a spoiler-filled script review posted over at Idealogy of Madness, and today that same site has posted the second installment.
BEWARE – This script review is chock full of spoiler material, read at your own risk…
Comics Continuum has posted 5-page previews of two upcoming G.I. Joe titles from IDW, G.I. Joe #4 as well as the Rise of COBRA prequel #2, featuring Destro! Check them out here.
Thanks to Shin Densetsu of HissTank.com for the info.
Yesterday, eBay seller ws_toys posted auctions for a carded COBRA Commander, Snake Eyes, and Storm Shadow from the upcoming Rise of COBRA action figure line. Well, he has generously supplied more pictures (watermark free!) and I’ve got a gallery of those images below.
Credit goes to HissCommander of the Terror Drome for the heads up!
JoeCustoms marvel iwbeta makes a return to the “kick ass custom” of the week on GeneralsJoes with a couple of awesome MASK customs!
While much of the Joe fandom freaked out when Matt Trakker was revealed as one of the Anniversary figures, I thought it was an awesome and intriguing concept and loved seeing the two universes merged (as forced as it might have been). Not only that, but the Trakker figure was actually pretty awesome, to boot. Well, iwbeta takes it a step further and gives us a fantastic looking Miles Mayhem and Sly Rax from the evil VENOM team.
Check out the thread at JoeCustoms here. I’ve also mirrored the great pics below:
It’s barely a day after the release of G.I. Joe Origins #2, and there are a couple of sites already posting reviews of this latest issue.
Work has had me crazy busy this past week, I’m hoping there will be a lull soon so I can give COBRA #1 and Origins #2 the proper review treatment.
We’ve seen GamePro and IGN both post previews of the upcoming Rise of COBRA video game by Electronic Arts, and due to the 2009 Game Developer’s Conference, a few other sites got their hands on an early build and have reported their findings as well. Although they don’t give us the level of detail (or the new screenshots) that the previous two previews do, there are still some nuggets of information (like Shipwreck being a playable character)! Anyway, check out the links below to visit some more sites doing coverage of the upcoming game.
I can only imagine that coverage will continue to ramp up leading up to the game’s release July 27th, 2009. It’s good to see the brand on the tip of everyone’s tongue these days.
It was a number of months ago that Latino Review got their hands on a copy of the Rise of COBRA script and went over it with a fine tooth comb…though that didn’t last long before Paramount lawyers descended from the heavens and smited (smote?) them. Well, now Idealogy of Madness is getting in on the game, and is giving a full blown script review right here.
Beware…obviously as a script review, there are spoilers littered throughout, and you will essentially find out exactly what happens in the film if you read this review. If that doesn’t phase you, then go for it. Part 2 will be revealed tomorrow.
A full rundown of items shipping through Previews during June, 2009 has been posted here. Included in this large list is a gathering of G.I. Joe related items, including the below list:
Along with the auction images, Destro from HissTank has also posted an image of the cardback featuring the filecard. Check out that thread here!
ws_toys bucks the trend this week and instead of offering high quality loose samples, he’s giving us some Mint on Card action figure goodness! Upcoming The Rise of COBRA Cobra COMMANDER figure is on eBay right here! Not only is this a good chance to own this figure months ahead of time, but it gives us our first ever glimpse of how COBRA Commander is going to appear in the upcoming film! ws_toys has actually posted three MOC auctions, the links are below, with images below that.
HUGE thanks to cmderinchief of JoeBattleLines and the Coil Club for this information!!
