Carded pics of a few upcoming Rise of COBRA figures

Notpicard over at the Coil Club has posted some pictures of carded items from the upcoming Rise of COBRA action figure line.  Included in the pictures is a carded “Pit Commando”, “COBRA Eel” (which looks like the previously hypothosized Elite Viper), and Agent Helix.  Check out the original thread here, and check out the images mirrored below!

Covers for G.I. Joe: Rise of COBRA video game officially revealed by EA

While Gamestop revealed a teeny-tiny picture of the cover for the upcoming video game early, Electronic Arts has done a full blown reveal today, supplying us with high res images for cover shots of every system the game is being released for.  The DS cover differs from the console covers, but we’ve included a full blown gallery below with each cover for each system.

I’m loving this cover a lot…very dramatic.  Time will tell if the game itself lives up to it…

Some more new items revealed from overseas…

Once again an overseas eBayer has debuted some new images of potential upcoming product for the Rise of COBRA toyline.  All of this is unconfirmed and can only be considered rumor at this point, but among the images shown were:

  • Battle Damage Storm Shadow
  • Duke (Accelerator Suit)
  • Resolute Snake Eyes w/ a movie Snake Eyes head
  • Storm Shadow red and white repaint
  • The Doctor
  • Reactive Armor Ripcord

I’d say this is a clear indication that we will see Resolute Snake Eyes in at least some form during the movie line…but I have to admit, the head sculpt is one of my favorite parts about the figure…I really hope we don’t lose that in the process.  The rest of this stuff has been seen in some form or function before, but with the paint apps, I am absolutely loving that battle damaged Storm Shadow.  Loving it.  I have no idea what’s up with those big ass metallic gauntlets, but the figure is cool, just the same.  Hasbro continues to really raise the bar, and take some potentially limited designs and ramp them up into very nice looking toys.  I’m really looking forward to building the “core team” of movie-accurate Joes and COBRA’s, and even random stuff like the battle damaged Stormy is very appealing.  Images are mirrored below, courtesy of the guys at The Terror Drome.

The Rise of COBRA merchandising blitz continues…

There’s still a ways to go before the movie hits full steam, but more and more merchandise is showing up in odd locations.  This time around, it’s an official calendar and button set from Pyramid International.  Some pretty interesting items, and a sure sign of the onslaught of stuff we’re likely to see in the next 6 months!  Check out the images below.
