The skin itself is extremely nice done...
but.... but... but....
I am HUGELY dissapointed in the look and feel and the tie-in with the (toy) brand name GIJOE.
This skin doesn't look and feel at all "GIJOE"-ish (old school). Everything is wrong.
More to the point, the upcomming movie is extremely discussed in GIJOE-fanclubs and isn't seen as something very good as it is too modern and kills all the good childhood memories....
As an old GIJOE-collector myself (yes, I have a collection of vintage figures and vehicles (mostly of the first series from the 80's)) and extremely big childhood fan of GIJOE, I hope you can understand that I don't like this skin at all (the tie-in with the name GIJOE that is)...
So from a GIJOE-fan point of view from the 80's, a real blasphemy which doesn't look and feel old school GIJOE-ish in the slightest way.
On a sites like smalljoes.com you can have an idea of the look and feel I was expecting (I mean the boxes of the toys and the covers of the comics, not the site and the -ugly- background itself) when I got the notice of this new skin.
From a pure graphical standpoint, extremely well done (as usual) and it does look and feel like the new GIJOE movie stuff; which was of course the purpose of the skin
...
PS: isn't there a star missing in the (new) GIJOE logo of "Rise of Cobra"?:
