It was supposedly a close race between Big Boa and Cover Girl as to which carded image the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club would show first, and Big Boa won out. Turns out, though, that Cover Girl fans (like Gary Godsoe) wouldn’t have to wait too long.
Over on their Facebook page, the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club has posted their latest carded FSS image, and it is indeed the former model and now an armor operator… check out their Facebook page for the latest intel, and take a peek at the mirrored image below.

I’ve been somewhat hesitant to accept the IDW G.I. Joe universe for a variety of reasons, but with the release of G.I. Joe # 15, they’ve finally started pulling me in, at least to a degree. Even with Dixon’s slow pace, this issue kicked it up a notch. We got some early seeds of discontent between Mindbender, Destro, and the Cobra cabal. We got one of the world’s top scientists joining Cobra of his own free will, upon seeing the level of their resources and funding. We got the death of a Joe character that has been accused of being a punching bag, but at least it was handled in this issue with some sort of respect.
But, really, it comes down to the character designs. Old Joe pal Fred from JoeBattleLines really summed it up nicely when he pointed out to me in a private email… there were just a few frames in the issue. Flint, Beachhead, and Cover Girl ready to bust down the door. The Cobra Vipers emerging from the MASS Device teleportation. To me, it’s always been about the toys, and these designs would make for some awesome toys. Hell, if the movie could find a way to work designs like these into it, it would have been much more appreciated, I think, even with the same story and subject matter.
It’s the little things…and as we get deeper into the G.I. Joe: COBRA II series, and has the mainstream title picks up some steam, I’m finding myself more and more drawn in, which is something I never expected. Good job, IDW.
EDIT – Spoilerific image replaced with non-spoilerific image. Woops!

I’m a review posting machine today, even if most of the work was done by other people. :shifty:
Jerry also gave me a big hand with doing some reviews along with Carlos, so I’ve got a trio of figures that have just gone up from earlier in the line. Behold!
Once again, big time thanks to Jerry and Carlos!

JoeBattleLines member warmachinex comes through again with another trio of three great high resolution images from The Rise of COBRA! The Duke one has been seen before, but the other two with Cover Girl are brand new as far as I know. Check out these awesome pics below.
