With much thanks to HissCommander from The Terror Drome, some images have been uncovered of the upcoming G.I. Joe Pit Commando and movie-themed COBRA Eel.
The Pit Commando appears to come in at least two packaging variations, showcasing the different forms the soldier can take, and the sheer amount of gear he comes with is a customizing dream come true. Check out the images of the Pit Commando below:

The COBRA Eel pictures so far have been grainy and undetailed, so these updated images are very nice to see. I gotta say, while I’m not a huge fan of the styling of the movie Vipers and Neo-Vipers, I do really love how they’re taking a base template and tweaking it to make all of these different troop variations. Even though I’m not loving the look, it’s a great concept, and this Eel has enough minor changes to really stand out. He also has some color tweaks; enough to make him at least a bit of an homage to the original. Check out those images below:
Entertainment Tonight spent some time with cast members Marlon Wayans, Channing Tatum, Rachel Nichols, and Sienna Miller, and captured the event on video. About five minutes along, it has some neat interactions between the cast members and little tidbits of information scattered throughout. They talk about their favorite weapons, crack jokes, and add a little insight as well. You can click here to see it, or just check out the embedded video below.
More images have started appearing on various sites for some better pictures of upcoming figures as well as pictures of figures we have not yet heard about. Some very neat stuff in here, even though a lot of it is repaint-city. The higlights of this newest batch of images are:
Pilot Scarlett repaint/retool in UK themed “Quarrel” colors
Wet Down, a Torpedo base figure using the helmet/mask from the ROC Flash
A Neo-Viper in a more silver paint scheme
There are other various newer images of stuff we’ve seen as well. Original source of the info is HissTank.com, check out the images below.
New images are now floating around regarding the story we reported on last night, but the images are larger and watermark free, so I’ve hosted them below. The more I look at Helix, Flash, and Scarlett, the more warm and fuzzy I feel inside…such cool looking figures, and I especially love Helix and Flash, who are really taking things in new directions, which is critical to the future success of the line. Gonna be an awesome year for Joe toy fans, I think.
HissTank.com has scored pics of some upcoming figures, including the confirmation that the mysterious red and black armored figure is Flash! Also included in these images is the first we’ve seen of a Resolute themed Scarlett. Flash and Agent Helix also have their filecards shown for the first time.
Some items of note…
Flash rocks. End of story, no arguing allowed.
No mention of any sort of real backstory for Helix, though she appears to be written in a similar “superagent ninja warrior” vein as Snake Eyes.
Flash and Agent Helix both appear in the same wave.
The shot of the back of the card shows a single pack General Hawk, the G.I. Joe Pit Commando, Rex “The Doctor” Lewis, first mention of Crimson Neo-Viper, and the COBRA Eel we saw before
Many folks (myself included) assumed that the COBRA Eel was either a packaging error, or a change from the Elite Viper, but it would appear that they are just two different (very similar) figures.
Resolute Scarlett looks bad ass, minus that goofy looking head…the wind-swept hair just doesn’t work quite as well in plastic form as it did on the small screen. Still, a critical Resolute character that absolutely MUST be released. Please. I’m begging here.
I absolutely love that Flash figure. Since I doubt he appears in the film, and he has been mentioned in the past in connection with the Rise of COBRA video game, I wonder if this is how he’ll appear there? Wherever he appears, I love this look…a very different appearence for him, but I think it gives him a great identity, rather than being eternally stuck in his Original 13 look. I approve. Original thread is here, images of new stuff can be seen below.
