I mentioned these a few months ago, but The TerrorDrome has more and better shots of some of Hasbro's 2010 G.I. Joe movie toyline, and I thought it worth reiterating how awesome they are. Seriously, no matter how you feel about the movie, most of the figures have been awesome, especially the upcoming Zartan and his crazy blue face markings or whatever they are. TerrorDrome also has shots of an amazing Snow Job and Ripcord (yes, really, Ripcord) if you want to check them out. You should.

That said, I'm admittedly still a bit boggled by this Jungle Assault Storm Shadow. Covering his pants with orange and gray paint seems counter-intuitive to assaulting jungles, but I'm no expert. I would also think wearing a shirt would be useful -- if only for the bugs -- but I do know that if you're going to put a hood over your full head mask, then you might as well wear a fucking shirt, whether you're in the jungle or Macy's.

When I saw that falcon. My first thought was that they brought back Raptor...which they should TOTALLY DO!

Sweet. Zartan comes with the torso of Jedi Luke Skywalker. I'm there!!!!
Geoff said:
Snow Job's the first Joe who actually looks right in the bland monochromatic uniforms.
Ripcord... geez. I know I made the "why are they designing Vipers like shitty anime characters" joke back during Toy Fair, but this is possibly even weirder.

Why does Storm Shadow come equipped with all kinds of machine guns? I know in the movie they gave him one of those pulse pistols but he's a freakin' ninja!

Is Ripcord supposed to be some kind of messed-up TARGAT?

I thought we all pretty much agreed that this Night Viper was all we cared about.

If only Zartan looked cool like that in the movie.

It's weird that the bastard offsprings of a crappy movie are some of the most intricately detailed JOE figures ever...friggin' Wayans...

I will probably buy that Zartan.
I don't like the Storm Shadow, although I think he's the only one whose street cred was lifted by that horrible movie. Even as a kid he was such a fucking asshole that he would fight to the death just to keep a starving street urchin from getting a few noodles. That's future Cobra material right there.

The Storm Shadow is moulded from the Resolute Storm Shadow. Which will be a far better figure. He has a removable top to go with the hood. Also a far better colour scheme, plain white with a few small bits of red.

love that storm shadow and glad snow job and ripcord finaly pop up as for zartan still hate the face markings and also though it was raptor at first brought back and buffed
MORS said:
unfortunately, that ripcord is badass. im going to have to pop off the wayans head and replace it with a real ripcord head but it is too good to pass up. the zartan is great and i cant wait for it. snow job is meh, i still prefer the 25th version that looks zach galifianakis

Hey, you aware of the G.I. Joe team up with the Marines?
Apparently they're working together for Toys for Tots, but in order for your Hasbro purchase to equal a donated toy for needy kids, the toy corporation will only help the poor kids if you buy a RISE OF COBRA toy.
They having trouble unloading those things or something? Seems if they aren't selling well enough, they should just donate those toys... then again, maybe that would be cruel.

The grips of Storm Shadow's jetpack are brass knuckles. So either they're pointless, being mounted to a fixed-wing design, or the controls to the device that screams you through the air are easily removed.
Classic Cobra engineering.

Storm shadow could be a stripper with that pose and play Welcome to the Jungle.
what is he holding in his hands? doesnt look like a very good cape glider
