GeneralsJoes Reviews G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra Dragonhawk

Justin — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 02:52:03 +0000

I’ve been sitting on this vehicle for a while, really trying to figure out what I thought about it and where I’d take the review…should I overlook the size issues and just focus on the design and aesthetics? That was my initial plan, but I finally decided that the size issues are just too…well… “big” to overlook.

So what’s the end result? Check out the Rise of Cobra Review Page or simply hit up the link below to see what I think.

If there is any one grouping of G.I. Joe items that I’ve been lax in reviewing, it’s been the vehicles. There are numerous reasons for that, but I don’t need to get into them all here…the important thing is, I’m trying to make up for that oversight. And no, I’m not just talking about Rip Attack!

Posted up in the Rise of Cobra Review Page are some long overdue reviews for the Mantis Attack Craft w/ Aqua Viper Officer and the Snarler Motorcycle w/ Rollbar and Beachhead.

Check ‘em out!

So with the recent unfortunate news about G.I. Joe: Renegades, I thought I’d take a step back in time and explore some other recent unfortunate G.I. Joe events. Of course, you say the word “unfortunate” to most G.I. Joe fans these days, and the first thing they think of is The Rise of Cobra.

Keep in mind I didn’t buy these things when they were $15 a pop, but when they started hitting clearance, I decided to check them out. You can hit the Rise of Cobra reviews page, or just check out the links directly below:

Yes, the trip in the way back machine continues as I look back and try to fill in some holes from the G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and 25th Anniversary era. Today, the victim is Arctic Snake Eyes. Check out the Rise of Cobra Review Page, or just hit up the review itself right here.

So, having a lull in product means I jump in my way back machine! This time around, I’m reviewing the G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra Skysweeper Jet w/ Air Raid. A Firebat repaint and retool, this little plane packs a big punch.

Check out the review on my Rise of Cobra Review Page, or just click here.

Stay tuned, because I’ll be doing quite a few more “old school” reviews over the next little while as we wait for more new product to hit.
