Gyre-Viper strikes again, this time getting us some great images of a Pursuit of Cobra Shadow Tracker test shot as well as the upcoming Alpha class vehicle AWE Striker w/ Night Fox. I’m not quite so enamored with the AWE Striker itself, but hot damn if that Night Fox isn’t one sexy bitch.
The Shadow Tracker we see in the images below is an uncolored test shot, so obviously this won’t be the final deco, but in some ways that adds to the appeal. With the black and white colors, you can really pick out the detail work, and I love the focus on the wrist articulation here. Look at all that freaking gear, too. What a fantastic looking figure.
Night Fox is a bit of a surprise, as I thought it was pretty much a frankensteined mis-matched mess…updated images a month or so ago changed my mind. And Gyre-Viper’s pictures even further pushed me over the edge. What a great looking combination of parts and new webgear. A very cool looking new character.

A GeneralsJoes commentor earlier this week pointed out an awesome YouTube user who has built some amazing dioramas and is using them to make incredible stop-motion animated features with G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra figures (amongst others).
He is a YouTube user named VisorHUNgary, and his channel can be found right here. There are a few videos showcasing the dioramas themselves, but the stop motion playlist is where it’s at.
I’ve mirrored G.I. Joe: Cobra below, but definitely check out his channel to see more details! This is some very cool stuff. Wish I had the patience to do something like this. A big thanks to commentor FredPerri for the info!
After a July 4th extended weekend vacation, I’m back in the G.I. Joe news game just in time for more Pursuit of Cobra product sightings…Bravo vehicles and Mech Suits are filtering out amongst e-tailers and even some brick and mortar stores, all leading up to the inevitable full-fledged action figure launch. Can’t wait for it.
To further whet our appetites, GeneralsJoes contributor Hawkwinter sends along an array of images featuring the fan favorite Pursuit of Cobra Alley-Viper! But no, not just one Alley-Viper, but a whole squad of them! Awesomeness. Cannot wait to get my mits of a handful of these bad boys!
Also, he points out a very cool arctic-themed insert that came with his Snow Job, and I don’t believe it’s something that anyone else has revealed yet (though I could be wrong). Check that out below as well.
Since Justin has gone further into the hinterlands of New England, every now and then the staff and contributors take the reigns. While it is nothing terribly important concerning Joes, but it is the thought that counts.
Thanks to all those who have served or are serving now. Thank you for your sacrifice and commitment so we can continue to celebrate these weekends now and into the future.
For those of you traveling, remain patient and safe as the roads and skies will be full. You’ll be getting back home just in time to start the PoC hunt!
Some enterprising Joefans have jumped on a few eBay sales offering early releases of the Sgt. Slaughter SDCC exclusive, and some pics are starting to emerge. Over on Hisstank.com, both Bionic Commando and Gyre-Viper have posted some images, mint on card and loose both. Old friend of GeneralsJoes cmderinchief has also posted a couple of images on his Facebook page as well. I’ve mirrored the images below.
I know some folks are a bit on the fence, but I dig this figure. He looks cool, old school, but still accurate to Sarge’s physical… prowess. Sure, it would have been cool to have him stacked and jacked like he was in the cartoon, but there’s something humorous about this figure, and appropriately cheesy. Of course the mid-torso joint does disrupt some of the flow, which is an issue. But articulation must always come first, in my opinion.
no images were found
Regardless, I’ll be looking forward to at least trying to get my hands on these figures when SDCC comes around.
