Happy Anniversary Cobra Island!
May 10, 2008 - 12:24 PM - by J.D.


Wow, 5 years now. It's hard to fathom we've been going this long.

Cobra Island started out as a site hosted by yakko of IaconHub way back in May of 2003. We opened our doors May 11th, 2003 with a small group of friends. Now, 5 years later, we've grown to a larger community of friends. Yes, the staff here at Cobra Island consider you guys friends. A lot of you have also become family. This site wouldn't be where it is today without you guys and gals.

November 11th, 2008 will mark the 5 year anniversary of Cobra Island becoming it's own site, as I bought the domain name CobraIsland.com, and we switched servers to our current one.

To celebrate our 5th year in existence, we will be offering all sorts of fun stuff through the rest of the year. Contests, games, and a total celebration of all things CobraIsland.com!

This year will also see the release of our very first site exclusive toy! The "Sea Snake NLC", which is the brainchild of our very talented staff. The guys involved have produced an awesome product, worthy of the name Cobra Island!

So here's to another 5 years! Thanks again to all of you folks reading this. You are the ones who come here and make all of this possible!

Older 25th Figures Being Reshipped!
May 07, 2008 - 7:20 PM - by EagleEyeSteve


BBTS and Entertainment Earth have posted several new case revisions shipping this summer to retailers for the 25th/Modern GI Joe single figure assortment.
In addition to shippig with new figure releases like Tiger Force Flint or JetPack Duke, many older figures (some who have never been seen since their initial release last year) will start to reappear.

Of note is this case from BBTS which features the still difficult to find Flint v1 figure and the, as of yet unreshipped, Firefly figure.

This case from Entertainment Earth features Firefly as well, along with Zartan, Commando Snake Eyes, and the Iron Grenadier Destro. Other variations on wave 4 08 feature Commando Snake Eyes, and even the Crimson Guard.

For those having issues finding older figures, hold from paying ebay mark up, these revisions should help in getting these figures out to you!

G.I. JOE Set Visit
May 07, 2008 - 10:55 AM - by singsingjohnny


IESB.net, Latino Review.com and SuperHeroHype.com have posted reports from their respective set visits to the G.I.Joe set at Downey Studios in California...

Highlights include Destro’s M.A.R.S. (Military Armaments Research Syndicate) headquarters, the MARS lab, the interior of the G.I. Joe submarine (code named SHARC!), an explanation of Vipers/Neo Vipers, some heavy armored vehicles code named the COUGAR and the remains of the Pit!

Of particular interest is this tidbit from IESB.net...

Quote:
And finally, Brendan Fraser does not play Gung-Ho or any other Joe that has been rumored thus far and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson will not be in the film.
Hmmmmm, I seem to remember Brendan Fraser himself confirming his cameo (check it out HERE, around the 02:44 mark.)

Anyways, check out the set visits HERE, HERE and HERE!

Hasbro confirms details on Specialist Trakker
May 07, 2008 - 10:39 AM - by singsingjohnny


Cobra Island VIP A Nonny Moose pointed out this news from Toy News International...

From Toynewsi.com:

Quote:
Remember that old classic toy line and cartoon where everyone drove around in cool vehicles that transformed into things like flying cars, and everyone had these special mask's that allowed them to control them? Well if you grew up in the 80's you probably do, and if you were a fan of that line we have some good news for you. No the M.A.S.K. line isn't returning, but possibly the next best thing is in the works. The folks at Hasbro have planned to release a tribute figure of the M.A.S.K. leader, Matt Trakker in one of their upcoming 3 3/4" G.I.Joe figure assortments.

In a recent ONLINE POLL run by Hasbro, a mysterious figure named `Specialist Trakker’ showed up in a list of upcoming G.I.Joe figures, causing people to question if this guy had any connection with the classic 80's M.A.S.K. line from Kenner. So we went to Hasbro's G.I.Joe Brand Manager Neal Hoffman and asked. Here is what he said:

"I can confirm for you that Matt Trakker will be a tribute to the 80's M.A.S.K. line. Just a single figure cross-over; shout out to the 80's."

So there you have it. No images of the figure could be released at this time, but stay-tuned in the coming weeks for more information to be revealed about this and other exciting new G.I.Joe products from Hasbro, and thanks to Neal for the information provided to us today.

For those of you who may not have grown up in the 80's and would like to find out more about MASK we suggest you check out the Virtual Toy Chest's M.A.S.K. Archive.
Thanks to A Nonny Moose for the info!
