You can always tell what the potential popularity of an upcoming toyline is by the number of overseas sellers who are offering pre-production product for it. So far there seems to be a rather large groundswell of G.I. Joe related sellers, and the buyers must be speaking with their wallets, because the stuff keeps on popping up. Well known seller unitedwell923 has listed a number of new auctions with some pretty neat pictures mixed in amongst them, including Resolute Destro, Wal-Mart Gung Ho and Copperhead, and a mysterious red uniformed Viper.
Also, thanks to some digging around by HissCommander from the Terror Drome, we’ve also got some neat images of Rise of COBRA Combat Heroes figures. These don’t appear to be listed on eBay yet, but I would imagine that could be coming at any time.

There’s a question mark on the end there because I have no idea if this is a single pack Hawk or what…just looking at the head sculpt, it’s definitely Quaid-like, and he’s considerably different than the version that comes with The Pit, but we still don’t really know where this figure is going to come from.
Check out the thread on JBL here, and I’ve got the images mirrored below as well.

One of the more underwhelming toys coming in the Rise of COBRA line, in my opinion, is the COBRA Gunship. It looks mostly like a helicopter with no rotors and no real physical way to fly, yet is shown in trailers whipping through the sky. How exactly does that work? Well, I suppose it’s no more out of the ordinary than Trubble Bubbles, etc… but one thing this picture showed me is the size of the Gunship. I don’t know why, but I didn’t realize it was so large. That actually impresses me a bit more, though I’m still not wild about the whole look of the vehicle.
Anyway, check out this thread on AC Toys, or check out the trio of images below.

Continuing the onslaught of news tonight, tkprime from HissTank.com discovered an image of the Rise of COBRA video game cover at his local GameStop, and a little investigation revealed that Electronic Arts had revealed the cover image at their site as well. There appear to be two different covers, one for the Nintendo DS and one other for all other systems. Check out the pics below.

Any Joe fans or fans of G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA know all about the Black Sheep Toy Store, and he’s now got a few more nice loose auctions posted with very nice pictures of some upcoming items including Covert Operations Scarlett, Desert Ambush Duke, Heavy Duty, and Technical Surveillance Breaker.
Check out the great images mirrored below, and thanks to Destro of HissTank.com for the intel.
