Pursuit Of Cobra Wave 3 Desert Battle Snake Eyes Preview
HISS Tank boards member japanX80 has shared images of his newly acquired Wave 3 Desert Battle Snake Eyes from the Pursuit Of Cobra line. Anyone notice that during the past few years, Hasbro seemingly releases a Snake Eyes figure that is collectively anticipated by the fandom? Last year it was City Strike Snake Eyes, and right when diehards seemingly swore off getting another Snake Eyes figure, Hasbro unleashed the prototype for the newest Snake Eyes figure at JoeCon 2010. Most fans were pleasantly surprised, however the unveiling was somewhat bittersweet. The fandom was collectively disappointed when it was stated that the figure would have a variant and that both heads would not be included. A collective sigh of relief came when Hasbro announced months later, that both heads would be included, with no variants.
So this figure has been shipping out to those of you who preordered it online, via our site sponsors. Both heads feature all new sculpts based on the iconic looks for Snake Eyes, with the commando goggles, and knight visor(similar to the way Robert Atkins draws Snake Eyes). In addition, this figure features a wealth of weapons or accessories, if you didn’t like Snake Eyes as a ninja, bam, tons o’ guns. If you liked him as a ninja, this figure comes with 3 swords. Liked him as a ninja commando? No matter what, you’re all set with this figure. More images of the latest take on the iconic silent ninja commando, after the jump! Could a Storm Shadow made in a similar vein follow in 2011? [Read more…]

Hall Of Heroes Gold Face Viper
HEY REMEMBER HOW IN CHARLIE IN THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY CHARLIE ENDED UP BUYING SOME CANDY BARS AND GOT A GOLDEN TICKET? HISS TANK BOARDS MEMBER KINGBIOHAZERD AND LATER FELLOW BOARDS MEMBER SERIOUS_ADDICT HAD SOMETHING SIMILAR HAPPEN TO THEM KIND OF…
Well…ah yes the gold-faced Cobra Viper. We never saw one officially released for the GI Joe 25th Anniversary line…..well until now. Factory error? Inadvertent example of “good things come to those who wait”? Chrome “yellowing”? What?!
The aforementioned boards members found Hall Of Heroes Cobra Vipers with gold face helmets. Or gold visors. Whatever. Both were found at Tj Maxx/Marshalls, and Toys R Us Express. In fact, some of us may have gold-face Hall of Heroes Vipers without even realizing it. Hard to believe at 1st, in fact, it brought back memories of a random guy and his “alleged” variant from a few years back. This Viper variant is not the same as the one which was supposed to be released in the canceled Modern Era Viper 5 Pack we told you about early last year. The helmet on the canceled 5 pack version lacked a vacuum metalized faceplate, had removable goggles, in fact the head sculpt was different entirely, and the wrists were not “fixed”. In a way, the recent “variant” found is arguably the superior version. More photographic evidence after the jump!
“What we’ll see
Will defy
Explanation”
Or maybe not. [Read more…]
Shock Trooper New Images
Bubble Tiange of ACTOYS has posted up close images of the long awaited Cobra Shock Trooper from Pursuit Of Cobra Wave 3. The newest Cobra army/troop builder in the Pursuit Of Cobra line, the Shock Trooper is ripe with customization and/or kit-bash potential, having appeal for fans new and old. This is a good example of how swappable parts are more favorable gimmicks than spring loaded weapons.
More images after the jump! Is this a figure you’d love to see in a multi-pack/battle pack? [Read more…]

Pursuit Of Cobra Wave 3 Preview
Steel Brigade has shared images of the long awaited and highly anticipated 3rd wave of Pursuit Of Cobra. We saw carded images back in summer, the fandom was collectively relieved to find out that the Final Production Wave 3 Snake Eyes would come with both heads, and more appetites were whet with Pursuit Of Cobra Wave 3 Images. Fortunately for all of us, this wave comes packed 3 per case, so ideally, all of us should be able to find and buy these figures.
Feast your eyes on the images after the jump! [Read more…]

GI Joe Renegades Premiere Sound Off
After an initial premiere date for 10/10/10 was hinted at, after numerous
delays, another hint, an accurate listing, finally, an official confirmation, and more premiere details, GI Joe Renegades finally premiered earlier today. In the months leading up to this event, there has been lots of speculation, debating, theorizing, rants, apologist dribble, fanboy rants, moments of clarity, episodes of mispelling and apparent(alleged) scientific data disputing the death(DETH OB TEH LINE) or reinvigoration of the brand due to this one cartoon.
What impact this Renegades cartoon will have remains to be seen, but what can be shared, is what you, the fandom, thinks of this, and we’d like to hear it. So join the ongoing discussion and let us know what you think! [Read more…]
