Remember that pilot Firefly figure from Rise of Cobra with the Elite Viper head that we showed you last month? Well it turns out, our initial hunch was correct and that figure is legit after all. Yet that isn’t the biggest news update for today….
As reported by HISS Tank boards member Gyre-Viper, we are getting even more new, previously unannounced vehicles for G.I. Joe Pursuit of Cobra!. Pursuit of Cobra vehicles are already shaping up to be more exciting than the Rise of Cobra vehicles, with the designs not limited to movie appearances, but this time, the imagination of the design team! Troynos has also elaborated with more details. The intel is as follows:
- We are getting another wave of Rip Attack Vehicles
- New winged hovercraft with Snake Eyes w/Matt Trakker mask
- Cobra ski mobile with Elite Viper w/pilot Firefly body
- All new motorcycle(could this be a new Dreadknok cycle?)*EDIT* CONFIRMED as new Dreadknok Cycle!
- Retooled Ghost HAWK
- Same body, canopy, and chin cannons
- Engine intakes are now blocky instead of cylindrical
- New landing skids
- Missle launchers replace removable missles on the side
- New stabilizers(horizontal/vertical aft of engines)
- Comes with repaint of Lift Ticket, possibly with a new head

G.I. JOE THE RISE OF COBRA COLLECTION LOOES FIGURE RARE - eBay (item 150405257454 end time Jan-14-10 20:25:27 PST)
this is a rip attack wave 2 figure.
the other will be snake eyes with what I think was a matt tracker mask.
I urged toyssir to post pics as soon as possible because she also has
a new ghost hawk and some weird motorcycle I don't think any of us (except the super secret hasbro squad) has seen before.
anyways... I wanted to admit I was wrong about this figure when
e-only on ebay first posted pics. I didn't think hasbro could kitbash
so poorly and sloppily and blatantly... not like this... this guy looks
like firefly and little debbie had a baby. oh well. I admit I was wrong.
string me up. beat me down.
this is NEWS so I put this here. mods feel free to move it.
hopefully toyssir will post pics soon.

New Ghost Hawk? Details, man, Details!
Rip Attack Wave 2? Shouldn't they wait to see wave 1 bomb before they commit to wave 2? (Sorry, I just don't forsee these things doing too well).

it's got ROC-style updates. more 'futuristic' a la the gunship and
has spring loaded weapons. not my pics to post so alas you'll have
to wait. I'd buy it to take pics but I'm moving (FINALLY) so I'm up to my ears in boxes and mailing address switching craziness.

...well well well...
wishfulthinking says
the Ghost Hawk update sounds cool. I look forward to seeing what it'll look like.
Firebomber8 says
I hate spring fired missiles, they cheapen the look of the toy too me.

Troynos says
The missiles all depend on how they are used, what they look like.
I need pictures of this new Ghost H.A.W.K.
Zoltron says
Crapitty crap crap.
How many times are they gonna use that elite viper head?
Cdt Weasel says
Wait a second. I missed something.
What happened to the cat poop?
