Shin Densetsu over on HissTank.com breaks the news that there are some apparently new Target Exclusives on the horizon featuring some great vintage vehicles making their first re-appearence in a long while! These exclusives are:
COBRA Viper Commando w/ Serpent Armor
Wet Suit w/ Dragonfish
Storm Shadow w/ Arashikage Cycle
Air-Viper w/ Rocket Pack
The Serpent Armor appears to be a black repaint of the SNAKE Armor from the 80’s, and done up in a paint scheme similar to how they make their appearences in the upcoming video game. It’s tough to tell how the Viper Commando is changed, but he must be painted a bit differently. Wet Suit is in an apparent gray and black uniform, that almost looks like it might be the rumored “Wet Down” that was seen on eBay a little while ago. Storm Shadow in the red trim is the repaint we’ve seen here and there, and we’re getting yet another Air-Viper/Strato-Viper repaint, but with a very odd choice. The COBRA Jet Pack that hasn’t made an appearence since 1987. This seems like a bit of an odd choice, it’s never been a fan favorite, but it’s still cool to see. Just goes to show that nothing is off the table.
I’m astounding by the sheer volume of product that appears to be coming out this year…and we are just barely approaching ComicCon. I only hope that if there’s not much new revealed in San Diego that the fandom doesn’t get in an uproar with Hasbro…after all, there’s a TON of stuff they would have debuted there had images not leaked before hand. Let’s all keep things in perspective. 😉
Big thanks to WildWeasel from The Terror Drome for not only notifying me of this spot, but for actually hosting it on his YouTube account! Like yesterday, this TV Spot is chock full of new footage. AWESOME!
This is freaking great! I have, of course, updated the Rise of COBRA SuperPage with all of these latest tv spots as well.
I think this website for the Royal Purple/G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA promotion has been up for a while, but for some reason, we’re just noticing the vehicles section. But this vehicle section is absolutely bad ass. It has some great images and details for the vehicles featured in the film, many of which we haven’t heard of before! I’ve mirrored the images below for the following vehicles:
Brawler – An innocuous looking van on the outside, with high tech surveillance and weapons systems on the inside
Attack Helicopter – No name, just looks like a generic military assault copter
Howler – The VTOL troop transport that carries the Joe team through the air
RHINO – An armored Humvee looking thing
Rockslide – Familiar snowmobile attack vehicle that we’ve seen in toy form already
Scarab – The “Steel Crusher” going by its original name
Spyder – A very futuristic looking motorcycle (that looks a lot cooler than the upcoming “Snarler”)
The vehicles page can be found here with some nice details on these various weapons of war, and again, all images are mirrored below.
JoeBattleLines member warmachinex comes through again with another trio of three great high resolution images from The Rise of COBRA! The Duke one has been seen before, but the other two with Cover Girl are brand new as far as I know. Check out these awesome pics below.
I mentioned in my previous post about the TV Spot about the Aircraft Carrier that the Howler takes off from, and kind of wondered aloud whether or not there might be some sort of fan love worked in there… well, a screen grab on the Terror Drome confirms that this is the case.
