Friend of GeneralsJoes, cmderinchief has posted a number of nicely detailed pictures of a potential upcoming Duke figure on JoeBattleLines here. The figure looks different than the Desert Ambush Duke we’re getting in Wave 1, and we have not yet seen any specific details about when or where this figure might see release. I have mirrored the images below.
It isn’t often that we take a little peek behind the curtain when it comes to Hasbro, Paramount, or any of the entities that weave this universe that we live in, however, Dax Berg, lead designer for Double Helix studios posts a nice little blog entry here, and gives us at least a bit of insight into his background and why this particular project (working on the G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA video game) brings him a certain type of joy. During the course of his blog, he also lets a few nice little tidbits about the game slip.
Time will tell just how good the end product is, but if nothing else, it sounds like it’ll be a fun way to further explore the new Rise of COBRA universe…for those of us who care to, anyway. 😉 Again, check out the full article here.
Apparently Hasbro Canada brought some treasures with them when they visited the Canadian Joe Con this past weekend, one of which was a COBRA Night Raven from the upcoming G.I. Joe: Rise of COBRA toyline. cmderinchief grabbed some great pics and posted them on the Coil Club. They’re mirrored below as well.
An article posted on Welt Online has given a rundown of Burger King’s upcoming promotions tying in with Paramount and the summer blockbuster movies. They mention G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA specifically and had the following to say:
G.I. JOE: RISE OF THE COBRA
“All three of these feature films boast a huge loyal fan base and have carved out a permanent place in pop culture,” added Klein. “Partnering with Paramount has allowed us to go beyond the typical tie-in property sponsorship to create all-encompassing entertainment and promotions that offer our restaurant guests a real piece of the action – in-restaurant, on their televisions, and online. Likewise, the creativity and innovation we bring to the partnership add value to the studios’ movie marketing effort.”

I’ll admit I’ve been lagging behind on a few news stories that have come flying through in the past week or so as I finished off some prep work for training and a recent Cisco exam. Now that it’s all behind me, I’m playing a bit of “catch up” starting with the latest round of auctions from international seller unitedwell923. The brand-spanking new images are mirrored below, including an interesting repaint of the Rise of COBRA Storm Shadow. Beyond that, it’s not much that we haven’t seen before, but some very crisp and clear images this time around.
