Pursuit of Cobra Wave 2 Bravo Vehicles Arriving End of August?

Posted by CAPT. GRID-IRON on Friday, August 20th, 2010

According to online retailer Small Joes‘ latest newsletter, the Pursuit of Cobra Wave 2 Bravo vehicles are set to start arriving at the end of the month. This does make sense since Wave 1 Bravo vehicles arrived 3 to 4 weeks before the figures and Alpha vehicles too. And with the Wave 2 figures scheduled to arrive at the end of September, this pretty much fits the schedule. So prepare to start keeping an eye out for the ALL-NEW G.I. Joe VAMP and Cobra Fury towards the end of the month.

“Hi folks, another short newsletter for you while we await the arrival of the GI JOE: Pursuit of Cobra wave 2 items. It looks like the Bravo vehicles have already started shipping from Hasbro’s warehouse so we may expect those in about 7-10 days. Get your orders in!

Sometime after August 4th it appears that we erroneously removed the wave 2 figure sets of 6 pre-order from the site. The pre-order has been added back to the site so those of you wanting the set of 6 can now get it at $46.99″

The Pursuit of Cobra — From Joe Con to Toy Fair — What Changed?

Posted by WildWeasel on Monday, February 15th, 2010

Six months ago to the day, we were introduced to the next “evolution” of G.I. Joe at the 2009 Joe Con. Hasbro during the 3-day event, debuted The Pursuit of Cobra (a sub-line theme to the movie line The Rise of Cobra) to G.I. Joe fans and fans were excited about what they saw.

As time went by fans were wondering when we would start to hear more information about The Pursuit of Cobra line. We began to see some of the first wave show up on eBay from overseas sellers. Most of Wave 1, with the exception of “Arctic Threat” Duke & Destro had shown up for sale by this time. Then during the 5th round of Hasbro Q&A’s, Hasbro let on that the line was delayed and would be delayed until Fall 2010. A 9-month delay. Fans understandably started to worry about the future of their beloved G.I. Joe brand.

Hasbro Official Images of 2010 Pursuit of Cobra and Resolute Figures & Vehicles

Posted by WildWeasel on Saturday, February 13th, 2010

Hasbro has sent out official images for the 2010 Pursuit of Cobra line-up showing the first 2 waves of figures and vehicles. Some of the images shown are the single carded “City Strike” Alley-Viper & “Desert Battle” Dusty figures, along with “City Strike” Beachhead, “Jungle Assault” Jungle-Viper and “Arctic Threat” Snake Eyes. A lot of the 2010 line-up has been retooled from what we saw at last year’s Joe Con. Most notably is the absence of the Rise of Cobra actor likeness. They also sent out images showing the Resolute 7-Packs coming later this year. Both lines were debuted today at Toy Fair 2010 in New York City. You can view the official images after the jump.

More New Vehicles for 2010 — Retooled Ghost Hawk? Dreadnok Cycle? Wave 2 Rip-Attack Vehicles?

Posted by WildWeasel on Thursday, January 14th, 2010

Gyre-Viper of HissTank and eBay seller toyssir8982009 have once again come through with some new info on upcoming 2010 G.I. Joe vehicles. They have provided images of a retooled Ghost Hawk and Lift Ticket repaint, what almost looks like a “Dreadnock Cycle” with driver and what appears to be Wave 2 of Rip-Attack vehicles. The Rip-Attack vehicles show, an air vehicle of some kind with what looks like Snake Eyes with Matt Trakker’s helmet and a snow mobile with a figure that was believed to be just a horrible kitbash using the Firefly body with Elite-Viper head (E_only eBay auction). No other information is available at this time about these, but if these do end up released, 2010 is really starting to look interesting in the “vehicle department”.

New 2010 Pursuit of Cobra Vehicles Revealed?

Posted by HissCommander on Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

The infamous toyssir898 has posted some interesting images of what could possibly be some upcoming vehicles for the Pursuit of Cobra line. Featured in the images are a Joe and Cobra version of a retooled Sigma 6 Iron Hammer, and 2 version of the classic A.W.E. Striker. The Iron Hammer corresponds with the reveal that Hasbro gave us at the 2009 JoeCon. Included with the vehicles is what looks to be Duke(?) and a new version of WildWeasel(?).

Also posted are some prototypes of the A.W.E. Striker that are pretty interesting. If you notice, printed on the hood is “InGen” which was the name of John Hammond’s corporation in Jurassic Park, not to mention the “JP” logo printed on the side. The included figures in the images are also a mystery. They appear to be kit bashed version of the Toys “R” Us exclusive Fire Fly figure. As of right now, none of these images are “official” or “confirmed” by Hasbro, in addition to there being no official information on possible release dates.
