So my current “most wanted” figure is the COBRA Elite-Viper. He’s one of the few Wave 3 figures that I don’t yet have, and every picture I see makes me want him more. He seems to strike the right balance between movie aesthetic and somewhat more traditional troopers. No out of whack armor on the forearms, some nice pads and more standard military gear. I really dig him.
Over at JoeCustoms.com, chrysophylax has posted some great images of this impressive looking figure. The thread is here, and the images are posted below.
tkprime has posted a great new video up on his Facebook page featuring a short promotional piece for G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA. There’s no real footage to get excited about, but a neat sequence with some stunts and such on the water. Just a little something to whet the appetite as August seems further and further away…
Braxthunder over on HissTank.com reports that he found a G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA Mission Dossier paperback book at his local Barnes & Nobel and talks a bit about what’s inside. sn8ke3y3s also chimed in with some very cool images of the book cover and a few inside pages.
I have been in full on “Rise of COBRA” mode over the past few weeks, and this looks like just what the doctor ordered! Lots of pictures, lots of details, and 144 pages of Rise of COBRA goodness. Gotta get to my local Borders and snag it quick…hopefully it’ll hold me over until August 7th!
The Terror Drome has inundated themselves with over two dozen images from the SDCC Hasbro Panel this afternoon. It’s mostly stuff we’ve seen before, but it’s nice to see the pictures regardless.
Check out the thread here, or the images mirrored below.
This won’t be a word for word transcript, but I’m going to try and relay as much information as possible into this one, easy-to-find post for folks who couldn’t check it out live…turns out, as I suspected, there’s not a whole lot of new information, because we’ve practically seen it all from overseas sources already, but there might be some tidbits here. Click the “Read the Full Story” link below to get the whole rundown of the panel and Q & A Session.
