Recently, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who we'll see next month in G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra as The Doctor then as Cobra Commander, participated as a guest DJ at KCRW. He picked five songs that he used for inspiration to prepare for five specific roles, including Cobra Commander:

JGL: So the next song is one I would listen to when I was hyping myself up to do G.I. Joe and I play this kind of hyper-villainous – I hesitate to even call him a guy. He’s an archetype, he’s a legend. He’s a bad guy.

Song: Jay-Z’s “Say Hello”

JGL: It’s a Jay-Z song. Jay-Z has the perfect grandeur and bravado for this character. Jay-Z literally calls himself “J Hova” after God. He calls himself God MC, me, J Hova. And the character that I play in G.I. Joe certainly fancies himself a kind of God. I tend to usually like to play characters that are not black or white but some shade of gray and so it was kind of interesting to play character that was absolutely the bad guy, he’s the villain. When you play with G.I. Joe toys, that’s the phrase you use when you’re playing when you’re 5 – ‘are you a good guy or a bad guy?’ ‘Oh here come the bad guys!’ ‘How many bad guys did you shoot?’ And that’s what I was doing, getting to be the bad guy. Say hello.

HissTank.com board member gyre-viper has posted images of a Prototype Mole Pod with what appears to be an RoC style Toxo-Viper (the actual name for this figure is still unconfirmed).

The Mole Pod itself has bright orange attachments (such as the canopy). The figure itself is quite interesting, sporting a gas mask and canister attachments. The Ice Viper body looks good as a hostile environment trooper.

This week we heard reports that a few Cobra Gunships from G.I. Joe Rise of Cobrahad been sighted with a different Firefly, one with a red helmet! Firefly is shown with a red helmet on the box packaging. Why a red helmet? Well originally, this figure was actually meant to be Wild Weasel, and this was mentioned at Toy Fair earlier this year.

This variant is reported to be packed 1 per 3 cases. Numerous HISS Tank.com members are reporting that they have seen both the black and red helmet versions, with some seeing one more than the other, and vice versa. Thanks to HISS Tank.com boards members MrClean, and Call Me EO_JIG for the heads up and OrionPax9 for the image!
