G.I. Joe - The Rise of Cobra, Cobra Commander Leaked

This is certainly being reported to the far ends of the toy concerned Internet, but it is pretty major news in the G.I. Joe line so we're also compelled to be sure to give it due time. The Chinese eBay seller ws_toys has managed to steal some more things from the local factory, this time bringing us the first ever look at Cobra Commander from this summer's 'hotly' anticipated live action Joe movie. (If the auction is gone we saved a copy here). As you probably guessed from the Jason X looking Combat Hero of the Commander (as brilliantly illustrated by Rob Bricken over at ToplessRobot.com) this figure is a similar train wreck. The forums are abuzz with conflicting opinions, and the flame wars burn brightly this night, but we can all keep our own council on the thing and in your heart you know it to be true.

Well, maybe it'll all work out. Maybe he'll lose the head-chest tubing and put a blue bag over his head in the last 5 seconds of The Rising. Either way, let's clear our pallets with one of the sets from the current Modern Era line, since who doesn't like Wild Bill? Here we have the comic 2-pack of Wild Bill and Scrap-Iron, with the new issue by Larry Hama. Ahh, it's feeling more and more like this line from 2008-2009 will seem as if it was the good ol' days shortly!
