The character roster is shown at the "1:26" mark, revealing offscreen movie characters such as Backblast and Kamakura(this roster only shows playable characters).

HISS Tank.com boards member kennywr22 has passed along information regarding the R.H.I.N.O. with Rampage for the G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra toyline. When first revealed, fans were wondering what pricepoint it would be sold at, since it's definitely bigger than the bravo vehicles, an smaller than the echo vehicles.

It turns out that this vehicle will be exclusive to Target stores! This explains why it does not fit into existing size classes set for the movie line. If anything it is between bravo and echo size classes. More exclusives will be coming to Target, and in July you can enter a G.I. Joe game at target.com.

In addition, TakaraTomy will be bringing over the R.H.I.N.O. w/Rampage to Japan, possibly in limited quantities with a "USA Edition" sticker on the box.

Macca428 has posted an image of Ripcord(Reactive Impact Armor) in package. This images shows us what to expect when this figure arrives on shelves in a few months.

The reactive impact armor figures utilize an armored base body, which might be the same armor seen in the G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra video game. We've already seen a green ninja with armor, could this be a sign of things to come, like an armored Kamakura figure, which could then be used to make an armored Snake Eyes?

The stunning conclusion to the well-received G.I. Joe Cobra series by IDW has hit shelves today. We've seen Chuckles go past the point of no return while infiltrating the inner sanctum of Cobra, or so we thought.

With a lot of familiar sights, the revelation of familiar characters, artificial intelligence troopers, explosions, and buildings burning to the ground, this series literally concludes with a bang. How did it turn out? Click on the discuss button below to check out the review!

According to site sponsor BigBadToyStore, the G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra movie toys will be launched before the previously announced launch date of July 11th:

Update from Hasbro - GI Joe Movie Toys will now be ready to go 'on-shelf' on July 6th instead of July 11

In addition, HISS Tank.com boards member nosaj23 contacted customer service reps at Hasbro this morning and was told that the movie toys are actually set for release any time now. According to what he was told, the reason for this is:

the change is so they can have three months worth of waves on the shelf by the time the movie comes out so if a child sees a character he likes it's available at that time

So will we indeed see toys before July? It's certainly possible, there were several sightings of Transformers Revenge of The Fallen toys reported at our sister site TFW2005, prior to the launch date. In fact, there have been a few sightings of Rise of Cobra toys reported here a few months ago.

The official adaptation of this summer's highly anticipated film, G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra! G.I. JOE is a highly trained, classified special operations unit composed of men and women from around the globe. Officially, these warriors don't even exist. Few know the truth—that G.I. JOE fights a secret war, as the first and last line of defense against forces that seek to plunge our world into chaos. Wherever there's trouble G.I. JOE is there.

NOW YOU KNOW, AND KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE.

G.I. Joe #6

Chuck Dixon (w) • Robert Atkins (a) • Dave Johnson, Robert Atkins (c)

The first epic story of G.I. Joe draws to an explosive conclusion as Snake Eyes hunts for the man who can lead him to the secrets of COBRA. But first the Joes’ silent warrior has to face down Destro, who's willing to risk a fate worse than death to prove his worth.

G.I. Joe, Vol. 1 TPB

Chuck Dixon (w) • Robert Atkins, Clayton Brown (a)

Joe is under attack in their own secret base of operations! But who could have found — much less attack — them! Where has Snake Eyes gone and what is his mysterious connection to G.I. Joe member Scarlett? And under the shadows, whispers of a terrible and powerful organization grow louder. Whispers that say one word over and over... "COBRA."
