I just got a chance to look over this amazing book of Action Figure Art! If your a fan of Supah Cleah Pics of our favorite action figure brand, G.I. Joe and many other Hasbro Brands, then pick a copy up of insight. Not only are you getting a great book, your helping a member of the G.I. Joe Community who is in need of our support!

insight: is a 128-page, full-color photography book from former Hasbro photographer, Gianni Lopergolo. A trailblazing artist, Gianni reinvented the way product photography was done at Hasbro, using unconventional lighting techniques and building scene-stealing dioramas from everyday objects. Now in the fight of his life, Gianni has been battling ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, for three years. No longer able to work, and with the help of his friends, Gianni recently realized his lifelong dream of publishing a book of his photography. Featuring the much-loved G.I. JOE, Marvel and Star Wars product lines, insight: displays over 90 of Gianni’s favorite images and even includes some previously unreleased photos. Hasbro is proud to present this book in support of the National ALS Association and a private fund to be established for Gianni’s three young sons.

Here is something for our readers who may also be sneaker fans. SneakerManiac brings us a look at 3 upcoming Nike releases with a Cobra flair.

There are Cobra Commander Zoom Alpholution shoes, Destro Nike Hyperize shoes, and Storm Shadow Zoom Sharkalaid shoes. Each pair comes in a G.I. Joe styled window box with file card profiles on the back. These will most likely become House of Hoops releases which means they will be extremely limited and almost impossible to get, we have no further details about pricing or release.

Fans who wanted a Heavy Duty figure with an accurate mini-gun sans missle launcher have gotten their wish, as the Reactive Impact Armor version comes with it! This is the version of Heavy Duty as we see him in the trailers, firing a ton of bullets outside of the Howler, a vehicle we have yet to see in the toyline but one we wouldn't be surprised to see in the echo size class or larger.

This is the 2nd Heavy Duty figure to be released. The 1st one has been reviewed, but how did this one turn out? Hit the discuss button to find out!

Lee Byung-hun, who stars as Storm Shadow, the ninja mercenary in G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra, was interviewed recently by ComicBookMovie.com. In this interview, he sheds light on his role in the movie, and possible sequels....:

CBM: What did you like best about working with Ray Park?

Byung-hun Lee: In the movie he is the enemy, and we hate each other, but in real life we are really good friends. We had to train a lot together before the production, so we are so close. And he is REALLY good at Martial arts. His movements are so flashy and skillful.

CBM: He said in an interview that you trained 5 days for the climactic fight scene between Snake-eyes and Stormshadow. Is that right?

Byung-hun Lee: Yeah, Yeah, of course. And there are a lot of fight scenes in this movie.

CBM: How about Sienna Miller? What is the relationship between Stormshadow and The Baroness? Is there a love interest there?

Byung-hun Lee: (Laughs) Yeah, actually we talked about that a lot--as a joke. As you know, the relationship between us is... Stormshadow is the Master for her. There is a line I say, "You are my best student." In the press conference in Korea, she (Sienna) talked about that maybe in the sequel there could be romance between Stormshadow and The Baroness.

CBM: I'm assuming you're signed on for sequels?

Byung-hun Lee: Three. And I would come back to play Stormshadow if they make them.

The Los Angeles Times has posted an article about the opening weekend sales for G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra, which earned $100 million worldwide. In addition, they mentioned another interesting tidbit of information:

That's certainly good enough for Paramount to claim victory, however, and start thinking about the future. The studio's vice chairman, Rob Moore, confirmed that a sequel will soon go into development. The film's lead actors are contractually obligated to return for another film, though director Stephen Sommers is not.
