New Amazon listings for IDW Comic releases

Amazon has posted new listings for a couple of upcoming IDW products, including Marvel reprints Volume 6 and the COBRA Trade Paperback.  There are no covers posted yet, but it’s very interesting to note that  Volume 6 of the Marvel reprints will likely start reprinting comics that have not been collected as of yet into previous Trade Paperbacks, so it’s a great chance to pick up where you left off on the Marvel series.

Big thanks to Jeff Bohn for the info!

New classic 5-Packs in stock at BBTS

HissTank is reporting that online retailer (and GeneralsJoes sponsor :shifty: ) BigBadToyStore now has the new classic-themed 5-packs in stock.  Priced at $29.99, the G.I. Joe 5-Pack features Hawk, Snake Eyes, Lady Jaye, Flint, and Shipwreck all heavily inspired by their cartoon looks, with a nice allotment of new tooling and new accessories!  The COBRA 5-Pack has COBRA Commander, the Baroness, Storm Shadow, Zartan, and the COBRA Viper with the same dose of new gear and new parts.

Most notable in these packs are the fixed tooling on the COBRA Viper arms, the significantly improved Baroness figure, a short-sleeved old-school accurate Flint, plus many other long overdue changes.  Great looking new figures from Hasbro!

New G.I. Joe Posters on AintitCoolNews.com

Buzz about G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA has been noticably silent over the past few months, but with the trailer debuting during the Super Bowl and Toy Fair only a couple of weeks away, that promises to change in a big way.  AintItCoolNews.com gets a jump on that today with 5 new posters featuring the characters from the film:

no images were found

I’m remaining cautiously optimistic… err…  probably more like cautiously pessimistic about how the film is going to end up, but I’m at least giving it a shot.  I do like these posters, though.  A somewhat dark and gritty theme.  They don’t really “speak” to me, but I think they’re pretty cool looking, at any rate.  Hopefully cool enough to entice audiences into the theaters.  Time will tell.

Make sure to keep your eyes on GiJoeMovie.com as well, as I’m sure activity will intensify there after the trailer is revealed.
