An overseas eBay seller has posted an auction for what appears to be the upcoming Rise of COBRA Night Raven w/ Air-Viper…however, the box proclaims this item to be a Nightbird w/ Aero-Viper. Is this an early sample prior to the name change to Night Raven, or more likely just the International name for the COBRA Night Raven?
Regardless of any naming questions, this auction has some pretty cool pictures of the outside of the box as well as the opened box with some shots of the item inside.
Check out the auction here and the images mirrored below.

As the movie draws closer, the stars are speaking out, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who plays COBRA Commander in the upcoming film spoke with NBCBayArea.com about starring in the movie.
“[It was] really, really fun,” says Gordon-Levitt. “It looks badass. It’s that 8-year-old in me getting to be a f***ing cool-looking guy.”
Starring in it was evidently fun…will watching it be? I still think we’re in for a nice surprise in August, but time will tell… check out the full article here.

Black Sheep Toy Store has been specializing in fully painted pre-production samples, and even carded items, but they’re branching out a bit into the unpainted pre-production arena. Most of the items they’ve just listed have been seen before, but this Reactive Armor Ripcord is new. I mean, we all knew it was coming (just like it’s obvious that a Duke in Accelerator Suit will be showing up sooner rather than later), but it’s still neat to see. I actually really enjoy how Hasbro can take some very similar looks and change them up a bit. Even unpainted, you can see some of the structural and design changes that separate this figure at least somewhat from the many other armored figures that have already been seen. A pretty nice looking toy, all told. Check out the auction here and see the image below.

“Ole Faithful” cmderinchief from JoeBattleLines and the Coil Club has come through with lots of nice, detailed images of the COBRA Ice-Viper from the upcoming Rise of COBRA toyline. The original thread on JBL can be found here, with a metric ton of images also mirrored below. This one looks like a keeper! Some awesome arctic-based COBRA Trooper action right there.

Long time overseas pre-production seller sicdunbine has posted an auction for a loose sample of the upcoming Rise of COBRA Ice-Viper. What makes this auction unique is that there are some nicely detailed images of the COBRA trooper, including a shot of the visor and showing that it raises up to reveal a mask underneath. Check out the auction (very reasonably priced!) here, and check out the images mirrored below.
