Yesterday, eBay seller ws_toys posted auctions for a carded COBRA Commander, Snake Eyes, and Storm Shadow from the upcoming Rise of COBRA action figure line. Well, he has generously supplied more pictures (watermark free!) and I’ve got a gallery of those images below.
Credit goes to HissCommander of the Terror Drome for the heads up!
Sideshow Collectibles Snake Eyes figure is shipping now from various retailers, and JBL forum member sinchicken has inundated a thread with tons of nicely detailed pictures of this amazing 12″ action figure. He has graciously agreed to let me host his images here on GeneralsJoes as well as a whole bunch more of them as well! Check out the mammoth gallery of nearly 100 great pictures of the brand spanking-new full of awesome Sideshow Snake Eyes below…
So, I’m feeling wishy washy. Look, I know this is a G.I. Joe site, and I know most of the viewers really only care about that. But I’ll be damned if I’m not getting sucked into these awesome 3 3/4″ Marvel Universe figures. They’re the perfect marraige between the comic characters I love, the scale I’m a huge fan of, and the articulation I need.
What do you guys think? You want to see more coverage of the Marvel stuff (though only the 3 3/4″!) here? Here are a few galleries to get you going:
Fred from JoeBattleLines and I were just talking about this…and man, if this doesn’t have some serious potential. Imagine COBRA agents discovering Captain America frozen in ice, then teaming up with Hydra to unthaw him and turn him into their ultimate weapon? Imagine SHIELD discovering the existence of COBRA and Hydra’s union, and deciding a specialized task force needed to be created to battle against them…a task force called G.I. Joe?
Imagine the infamous “Merc with a mouth” battling toe-to-toe against the most famous and skilled Arashikage ninja in the world… Nick Fury and General Hawk standing back-to-back fighting off scientifically advanced terrorists. The possibilities are almost endless. I’m getting a bit pumped up.
Toy Fair in one week!
Buzz about G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA has been noticably silent over the past few months, but with the trailer debuting during the Super Bowl and Toy Fair only a couple of weeks away, that promises to change in a big way. AintItCoolNews.com gets a jump on that today with 5 new posters featuring the characters from the film:
no images were found
I’m remaining cautiously optimistic… err… probably more like cautiously pessimistic about how the film is going to end up, but I’m at least giving it a shot. I do like these posters, though. A somewhat dark and gritty theme. They don’t really “speak” to me, but I think they’re pretty cool looking, at any rate. Hopefully cool enough to entice audiences into the theaters. Time will tell.
Make sure to keep your eyes on GiJoeMovie.com as well, as I’m sure activity will intensify there after the trailer is revealed.
