Cobra Commander’s New Look Revealed
Ever since ‘G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra’ was announced, one question on the minds of every fan of the toy-line or cartoon has been what will Cobra Commander look like. Will he have the hood a la the pic above or will it be the metallic face plate? Well, our questions have been answered.
Cool Toy Review has pictures of some action figures coming out especially for the movie. One of them is a two-pack featuring Duke and Cobra Commander.
The verdict? It’s neither the hood nor the face plate. I won’t show any pics of it here since it’s probably considered a spoiler, so here’s the link to it.
Honestly, I’m gonna have to say I don’t like this new look. What’s wrong with the hood? The face plate was kinda chintzy, but that hood was friggin’ awesome. Oh well. I’m still super stoked for this movie.
What do you think? Do you like the new Cobra Commander look? Did you even bother with spoiling that part of the film for yourself? How well do you think Joseph Gordon Levitt will fill the role? Let us know by commenting below!

The new Cobra Commander looks terrible! I spent part of my childhood watching the original G.I. Joe cartoons. Other than some of the actors in the live-action movie, everything else I’ve seen or read about the movie leads me to believe that the G.I. Joe movie is going to be a huge flop. The “updated” Cobra Commander is just the latest item of a very long list (G.I. Joe is no longer American but “Global”, the black, almost spandex costumes, etc.).
So far what I have seen with the characters does not look too good, especially Cobra Commander, HUGE, GIANT, FAIL!!! Why does Hollywood always have to screw everything up. Don’t answer, I know the answer; because they have to appeal to the mentality of the masses via thier socialogy sampling programs that pool together what is most “appealing” to the collective as to make the most money. I despise Hollywood. I can only hope that one day we will have an “Arizon Bay” to replace it.
On another note the current G.I. Joe comicbook is pretty awesome and the character designs are excellent. Haven’t seen Cobra Commander’s design yet. I can only hope it is similar to the old school CC.
HOLLYWOOD SUX!!! BURN!!! AND DROWN!!!!!
Yikes. I would like to see some real movie pics before I make any “Ruined my childhood” claims. I must say though that I’m not impressed. I’m a huge fan of Transformers and the movie looks took awhile to grow on me but I’m not so sure about this one.
