Possible Canceled/Prototype Action Man and Cobra Figure Images from China

Posted on June 30, 2017 at 11:23 am by xerofall under G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary

Here are some great pictures from viperskingdom of possible prototype and/or cancelled Action Man and Cobra figures.

One figure sports the Action Man logo. A Wild Bill looking figure and two Cobras, Snow Serpent and a ROC Ice Viper from what appear to be from artwork we saw back in 2016.

Discuss on the forums after the jump.

    A set of 5 different white arctic themed "prototype" eBay listings from viperskingdom have shown up, some of which display an Action Man logo! There are two listings of a parka/hoodie figure with the Action Man logo on the upper right chest and left arm. The same base figure with left arm logo shows up equipped with a repelling harness. There is a "Wild Bill" with the 50th gold star on the upper right arm. There is a Cobra insignia on the Snow Serpent figure's upper left arm as well (interesting use of different lower arms and what looks like Resolute Snake Eyes' torso). The ROC Ice Viper doesn't look to have a logo but I'm guessing the missing vest would have a Cobra insignia (using of Ice Viper legs/head w/POC Firefly torso and arms).

    A post from earlier this year showed images directly related to these figures: Unreleased 2016 G.I.Joe Card Art Revealed? - HissTank.com

    Were some of these possibly what was pitched to retailers for a 2017 GIJoe line or connected to vehicles from the 2016 line? Maybe an internet exclusive? I'm guessing this wasn't a use of the GIJoe molds for a different line like Jurassic Park with the inclusion of the Action Man, Joe and Cobra logos but it's up for debate. The arctic theme is interesting yet very niche.

    These have a long way to go and I see some of the usual prototype hunter suspects bidding so I expect some of the figures to reach the high hundred to two hundred price range. I'll bow out in the hopes of seeing additional listings in my price range.

    Links and pics below. Sorry about the image sizes but I don't know the code to size them down. Admins, feel free to resize.

    We saw artwork away ago for more 50th product that included the Snow Serpent and Ice-Viper, so canceled 50th stuff for those two

    Curious, It seems that Hasbro does a better job at not releasing toys at this point.

    You're right, the artwork matches up. Totally forgot about these images:

    It would be really fun to see an Action Man line... and if it used Joe parts, that would be great! What head are they using for "Action Man"? That looks really familiar.

    ... Sorry, it's POC Law. That works really well, actually... maybe a slightly different hair color. Not too shabby.

    Has to be the 2017 50th assortment that we aren't getting.
