Paul Ernst from the Fighting 118th has reported that Rise of COBRA Wave 4 as well as the Wave 3 “The Doctor” and “Arctic Storm Shadow” variants have hit retail at his local Toys “R” Us in California! He also posted images, which I’ve mirrored below. The hunt continues…

Toy News International has posted some very nice high res images of the upcoming 5th wave of Rise of COBRA single packs. These figures look to be kicking off the “Pursuit of COBRA” theme, as they are broken up into Arctic Threat, City Strike, Desert Assault, and Jungle Battle sub teams. A lot of these figures are using existing parts, and honestly, I was pretty “meh” about this wave when I first saw it…but man, it’s growing on me. Duke, Snake Eyes, and Ripcord are especially kick ass. Storm Shadow did nothing for me at first, but closer looks makes him a bit more interesting…he’s more than just a Paris Pursuit Snake Eyes repaint, and I find myself more curious to check him out than I thought I might be originally. The line up is as follows:
The Resolute Snake Eyes is, of course, the star of the show, by far. I really love Ripcord, too, though, and he works great as a desert version of him who fights alongside Duke at the beginning. A pretty cool line up, especially after my feelings were so mixed initially.

Another busy household day today, so coverage is a bit late, but I’ll be making up for it tonight, hopefully… 😉 For now, just wanted to report that JoeBattleLines has posted some more VERY nice images from the Hasbro display floor. These new images include:
I’ll be collecting a bunch more information from the Hasbro round table today and getting something comprehensive up, probably late tonight. Another late night!

We’ve previously seen the G.I. Joe character montage in video form, but now IGN comes through from the other side of enemy lines…they’ve posted a brief one minute clip of COBRA agents Baroness, Firefly, and Storm Shadow as playable characters in the upcoming video game. Check out the embedded video below!
SNAKE EYES from HissTank reports that he has found some clearer and somewhat larger pictures of four upcoming Rise of COBRA figures. The figures are as follows, with images below:
Still not crazy about Storm Shadow…the larger pictures make me feel a lot better about Duke and Ripcord, though. I really like the camo pattern on Duke’s legs and Ripcord just looks awesome all around. Check ’em out for yourself:
