A kind benefactor has supplied GeneralsJoes with some pictures taken at the Toy Fair in Melbourne Australia held over the past few days. No new product was shown, but there are some nice pictures of G.I. Joe and non-G.I. Joe items that Joe fans might find interesting. It’s also just cool to note that the Rise of COBRA line is going to get some heavy international love.
Pics and info can also be found at Skymates – the G.I. Joe Australian Collectors Message Board. Any of you Joe collectors from down under, definitely check it out! Meanwhile, the pictures are below:

A huge thanks to the guys at Skymates for supplying the pics and giving me the heads up on this!

EBay seller ws_toys has listed the upcoming single pack version of Hawk on eBay. We had seen the version that comes with The Pit, and had seen this figure in Toy Fair pictures, but nobody was certain as to its identity, but it would appear that now we know!
You can check out the auction here, and see the auction pictures below.
You can also check out my Toy Fair 2009 single pack gallery to see more pictures of this figure in the “Future Releases” section. Those images are also mirrored below.
Thanks to cmderinchief of The Coil Club for the intel!

A TaoBao auction has revealed a bit more detail about the upcoming Duke from the Rise of COBRA toyline, showing the figure for the first time without his flak vest and without the desert camouflage. An interesting picture, which shows that this version of Duke has a pretty cool standard military look underneath the other parts and pieces. Check out the image below.

An ACToys.net forum member has posted a number of other pictures featuring the Rise of COBRA Destro figure as well as Neo-Viper, the Baroness, the MARS Trooper and Officer, as well as Accelerator Suit Ripcord. You can get an idea of the scale of Destro’s mammoth rocket launcher as well as a few nice “action shots”. The original thread can be found here, and I’ve also mirrored the images below.
Thanks as always to HissCommander of The Terror Drome for the info.

by generalsjoes | Mar 20, 2009 | 12" Scale, G.I. Joe, Sideshow
In a surprise announcement, Sideshow Collectibles has announced the production of G.I. Joe Environments in scale with their 12″ collectible action figures. The first announced item is the “Recon at Waypoint 12 with Timber” designed to work with Snake Eyes. This is an amazing looking piece, and there’s a preview of this item visible here.
No price is announced yet, but I really love how this thing looks. Makes me wonder just what they might come up with to work with the COBRA guys. Wow.

Dark Horizons wasn’t the only website in attendance for the 5-minute sizzle shown for The Rise of COBRA a few days ago, and another report has surfaced giving the lowdown of what was shown. IGN Australia also had a chance to check out the effects-laden G.I. Joe preview and gives their own report here.
They give many of the same details that Dark Horizons did, but manage to go into better detail about certain sequences as well. There may be some minor spoilers tossed about.
