The MTV Multiplayer blog has posted some new screenshots of the upcoming G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA video game. Many of these shots were already shown in the story from GamePro that I posted about here, but there are a couple of new ones on hand as well. I’ve mirrored the two new images below:

With both books hitting yesterday, they’re sure to get the heavy review treatment, and IGN has them both. They both get moderately positive reviews, with the Prequel notching a 7 and Issue #3 coming in at a solid 7.2, however each title is also coming with some built-in flaws. The reviewer(s) seem to have a craving for more Snake Eyes and more familiar faces, and less Duke. Don’t we all? 😉
Click the following links for the reviews of G.I. Joe #3 and G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA Prequel #1 (featuring Duke).
I should have my own reviews up shortly.

Amongst the Destro-related hooplah today, somewhat lost in the shuffle is a few new pictures of the upcoming Rise of COBRA Neo-Viper. Thanks go to cmderinchief of the Coil Club as usual, who provides some neat out-of-box pics of the upcoming COBRA trooper. You can check out the thread with the pictures here, or also check out the gallery below:

The Coventry Telegraph interviewed both Channing Tatum and Sienna Miller about their roles as Duke and The Baroness respectively in the upcoming G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA motion picture.
Honestly, there isn’t much new information, but some mentions of fantasy vs. reality, the infamous “accelerator suits” and some words from director Stephen Sommers as well.

Geek satire website Topless Robot takes aim at the original G.I. Joe animated movie with a list of the 10 Most Ridiculous Things about the Original G.I. Joe Movie (besides COBRA La).
With a bevy of YouTube clips (some by yours truly… :shifty: ) they cover everything from Quick Kick’s questionable arctic attire to Snake Eyes being bitch-slapped by a Royal Guard. Entertaining to say the least! Check it out here.

HissTank.com continues their gallery and reviews of the Wave 1 figures from G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA. This time around, they give us Breaker.
I can definitely see both sides of the Breaker comments. Part of me thinks this figure is fairly dull, although his accessory compliment is pretty impressive. I love the laptop, I really like how it plugs in with his missile launcher/surveillance dish, but he’s definitely in sort of a “desk jockey” uniform. I’m certain once we see this figure in his full high tech suit (no pun intended) many folks will be changing their tune.
I’ve got a couple galleries of this figure myself, from Toy Fair, and from a week or two ago. Check those out below:
