SuperHeroHype is reporting that G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra topped the sales and rental charts its first week of release, coming in third amongst first week sales, behind only Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and Twilight. Guess G.I. Joe needs more androgynous vampires… :shifty:
Check out the full article here.
This is great news, but I don’t expect it to last long…Star Trek is hitting on the 17th and I’m sure that’ll take a chunk out of sales and rentals, but still a strong showing for The Rise of Cobra in its first week and more good news about the G.I. Joe franchise.

We’ve seen some scattered images for the upcoming “Rip Attack” vehicles, but HissTank has now provided the most in depth images yet, giving us clear images of the two drivers, the vehicles and the mechanism used to launch them. Coolest thing to me is this version of Snake Eyes…I hadn’t noticed in earlier images, but this looks to be a combination of the Paris Pursuit head and legs with the version 1 body and arms. It actually works really well, I think, making Snake Eyes really resemble his movie self, yet being a bit bulkier and more imposing than the overly scrawny first version. I dig it.
Unfortunately “Street-Viper” just looks like the regular Elite-Viper, no new paint scheme or anything, which is kind of a shame, but his vehicle actually looks pretty neat. Check out the mirrored images below.

Fellow G.I. Joe news site, The Terror Drome has posted one of their very nice pictorial reviews of the Firebat repaint G.I. Joe: SkySweeper w/ Air Raid. There are a ton of great images (a few of which I’ve mirrored below) and some nice details revealed.
I haven’t been real high on many of the Alpha vehicles released so far, but this is one that will get my money if I can find it. Check out the pictures below.

While I haven’t had a chance to crack open my nice pretty Blu-Ray copy of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, GeneralsJoes contributor Mysterious Stranger was kind enough to spend some serious time last night going through the standard DVD 2-Disc release for G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and provide his thoughts and insight.
Keep in mind, unlike me, he is not necessarily a devout follower of the Rise of Cobra mythos, and had his own expectations before going into it, but by and large, he had a very favorable response to the movie in general, and the DVD release as well.
