BlackVoices spoke with Marlon Wayans recently, about his upcoming films, including G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra, where he plays Ripcord:

Speaking of 'G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra,' did you get into shape for it?

MW: I sure did. I gained 30 pounds for the role. I came in and read with Rachel Nichols, who plays Scarlett. I wanted to be Snake Eyes, but that part was taken.

Were you a fan of the cartoon series?

MW: Of course. I watched the cartoon series religiously. We didn't get the dolls because we needed to put food on the table, and that won over anything.

What differences are there between you playing Ripcord and what we saw on the cartoon series?

MW: The main thing is that the character is black in the film. I've played a drug addict in 'Requiem for a Dream,' a thief in 'The Ladykillers' and a white girl in 'White Chicks,' so I can play any part. Rachel Nichols is also my romantic interest in the film, which wasn't part of the cartoon series.

Newest Toys For You has provided new images of upcoming G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra figures, with a few Modern Era pieces mixed in. Some of these figures are new, and some are seen in painted form for the first time!

One figure in particular stuck out; the Resolute Snake Eyes repaint with a movie head, and Arashikage symbol painted on the right arm. Looks like this one is meant to have the classic V2 visor that the movie versions sport. Another notable figure is shirtless, battle damaged Storm Shadow, along with Reactive Impact Armor Ripcord, shown in painted form for the first time.

Other figures shown include modern era wave 16 Red Star, Dr. Mindbender, The Doctor, Snake Eyes(both trenchcoat and wave 1 repaint versions), Storm Shadow in G.I. Joe VS Cobra colors(2002 wave 1), Beachhead from Headquarters for Heroes, Duke(accelerator suit), Frostbite, Neo Viper variations, M.A.R.S. Officer repaint, and more!

HISS Tank.com boards member SirVinic has found listings for G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra at the Kmart/Sears website. While most of these listings are for product that we have seen before, one listing came as a surprise:

Hasbro GI Joe Cobra H.I.S.S. Tank Action Figure $16.99

Now at first guess, one might say that it's just for the wave 1 H.I.S.S. Tank. However no other 25th anniversary vehicles are listed on that page, and this was listed amongst movie merchandise. Take into account that in the latest q/a session, Hasbro confirmed that Kmart would be getting G.I. Joe exclusives this year. Confirmation is still pending but for now, click on the discuss button below and speculate away!

Last month we reported that Hasbro and Discovery Channel would be having a joint venture resulting in a rebranded television network. Hasbro was slated to close on the deal, purchasing a 50% stake in the venture. They have done just that, very recently, according to PR-Inside:

Hasbro, Inc. (NYSE:HAS) and Discovery Communications (Nasdaq: DISCA, DISCB, DISCK) announced today the closing of Hasbro’s purchase of a 50 percent interest in a joint venture which holds the Discovery Kids Network in the United States. Hasbro and Discovery plan for the joint venture to create a rebranded television network dedicated to high-quality children’s and family entertainment.

The rebranded network is
scheduled to premiere in late 2010. The network will feature content from Hasbro’s rich portfolio of entertainment and educational properties, and content from Discovery’s extensive library of award-winning children’s educational programming, as well as programming from third-party producers.

How does this relate to G.I. Joe? G.I. Joe is one of the new cartoons planned for this new network.
