The Pursuit Of Cobra Wave 3 Alpha Vehicles which didn’t make it to mass market retail stores in the US has finally arrived stateside……
….at ROSS.
HissTank boards member laurenluna1977 found both the HISS Attack Scout and GI Joe Cycle Armor for $8.99 each. Happy hunting! [Read more…]
The GI Joe Resolute 7 Packs and Toys R Us exclusive Pursuit Of Cobra Quick Kick & Pursuit Of Cobra Spirit have turned up at ROSS. Some of you(including this editor), experienced difficulty in finding the POC exclusives while they were at TRU, so this is another shot(perhaps an easier one too), at nabbing them. HISS Tank boards member Duffman spotted the Resolute sets not too long ago, with GeneralxRon finding the POC exclusives not too long afterwards. Prices are as follows:
Thanks to the Facebook page of Mat Brouillard we now have images of the unused Pilot Firefly(from Rise Of Cobra) and Clutch(from Pursuit Of Cobra) mockups. Firefly sports a completely different helmet than the one we ended up getting and Clutch has a completely different body(the head shown was just a placeholder).
Do you like this Firefly more than the final production one? Does this Clutch look better than the kitbashed one we got with the VAMP 4 x 4? Take closer looks after the jump! [Read more…]
The G.I.Joe Pursuit of Cobra line had many vehicles that were announced in 2010 but have yet to see the light of day at mass retail outlets, other than for closeout stores like ROSS and TJ Maxx.
The Cobra H.I.S.S. Scout and G.I.Joe Cycle Armor are no exception.We’ve seen tastes here and there, but there have been no retail sightings…until today. HissTank.com forum member bandonov has laid his hands on both sought after Alpha Vehicles in Canada!
“I found the PoC HISS Scout and Cycle Armour at WINNERS (TJ Maxx Canada) and they were selling at $9.99 each! They put out 4 units each so 2 cases. Go out out and get yours now!”
Will fans here stateside be as lucky? Time will only tell. For now, enjoy the pics and join in on the discussion already in progress after the jump! [Read more…]
The Iron Grenadier character has been a fan favorite since it’s release back in 1988. As the elite guard of Destro, the I.G. has seen many incarnations, from Destro’s Elite to Cobra Trooper, Convention Exclusive and back.

You can check out the review in it’s entirety after the jump. [Read more…]

HISS Tank boards member frenXy has posted a review for the HISS Attack Scout. At JoeCon 2011, Hasbro stated that this vehicle and the GI Joe Cycle Armor would be released online. With the news that alpha vehicles now carry Non Carry Forward(NCF) status at Target(thanks for the info kennywr22!), perhaps going online is your best bet to get one. However, some Walmart stores have been getting GI Joe back, and there are tags still on shelf for alpha vehicles(after the spring reset).
Nonetheless, check out the review, and see how the HISS Attack Scout turned out! [Read more…]
Initially scheduled for release last year in the Pursuit Of Cobra line, Jungle Assault Cobra Commander was later canceled, with the body reused for Cobra Commander in Pursuit Of Cobra Wave 5.
Sure the newest Cobra Commander features a more recognizable, traditional look. Sure the more recognizable stuff tends to be more popular. Yet canceled items oft attract the attention of collectors who like “what could’ve been”. Steel Brigade has reviewed the canceled Jungle Assault Commander, read on to check it out! [Read more…]
Steel Brigade has cranked out more reviews, this time for General Hawk from Pursuit Of Cobra! Taking cues from popular First Person Shooters(FPS) such as Call Of Duty, this version of General Hawk stands out compared to previous versions. Significantly more armed and geared for battle, this is the most combat-ready Hawk we’ve seen yet.
However there’s been debate on whether fans like this figure or not. Perhaps a review can help you decide. Read on to check out how Pursuit Of Cobra General Hawk turned out! [Read more…]
