While I understand that many folks bemoan the G.I. Joe film, it’s tough to argue that both the 25th Anniversary line as well as the Rise of Cobra event have brought a bunch more Joe fans to the table, which is especially cool because that means a bunch of cool new G.I. Joe fan projects end up emerging.
HissTank forum member Jimmy McWicked is the latest fan that has really made me sit up and say “Wow!” with his strongly animated-influenced fan art inspired by G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero. Every time someone cries foul about the fact that G.I. Joe: Renegades might have animated influences, I see stuff like this and say “so freaking what?” This is some of the coolest, most inspired fan art that I’ve seen in a very long time.
Jimmy McWicked can also be found on Deviant Art where you can peruse more of his fantastic work. Check out some of the mirrored images below.

Yeah, I think “assload” applies. Gyre-Viper got a hold of quite the array of test shots for upcoming items, and produced an mysterious tale of suspense and intrigue… what happens when Token-Viper dares turn on the Cobra cabal?

Alas, should have known it was too good to be true. 😉
Earlier images taken a day or two ago showed a mysterious Stalker in the Pit control room on the SDCC display, and the casting of the shadow really made it look like he had some extra sculpting at the back of his head…but HissTank member evopete got some nice close ups, and unfortunately this is not the case. Check out the image below for the sad realization.
Thanks to evopete for the pic… I think… :shifty:

SNAKE EYES from HissTank.com brings it to my attention, that NSA from fansite Fighting118th.com was at the SDCC Preview Night last night and posted some fantastic pictures on his site here and here. Lots of great shots with angles we haven’t seen before, including a GREAT shot of what appears to be a Resolute themed Stalker action figure! Yeah!
Anyway, check out the amazing pictures below…best images I’ve seen from SDCC to date. Nice job!

A few different interesting 12″ pieces of news today… first of all, the Terror Drome is reporting about some images of a 12″ Stalker and Gung Ho that are very military in nature and really don’t seem to fit into the whole movie aesthetic. Are they figures that were slated for release in the normal line before the Rise of COBRA infusion, or are they still to come? Gung Ho could almost pass for his Resolute/video game version, so that’s something to watch for.
Check out the images below:

Also discovered by The Terror Drome is Entertainment Earth’s pre-order listing for the first wave of Rise of COBRA 12″ figures, including COBRA Commander. This is the first time ole’ toasty’s been seen in twelve inch form:
