As usual, Gyre-Viper over at HissTank.com comes through with some more sweet pictures of some equally sweet upcoming Pursuit of Cobra figures that are pretty much blowing my head clean off. I really am not normally a big fan of arctic figures normally, but holy crap if these two guys don’t look incredible.
The Pursuit of Cobra stuff below is the Duke (Arctic Threat) and Snow Job (Arctic Threat) from early assortments of The Pursuit of Cobra slated to arrive in 2010, though common thought is that figures should start hitting retail around the holiday season this year.
These figures just look…amazing. The bulky insulated arctic uniforms, the totally rocking accessories! I love both of those backpacks…Snow Job’s sniper rifle is inSANE. I also really love those snap-out wings on Duke’s snowboard. Such cool looking stuff…initially I wasn’t going to dive headfirst into all of the Pursuit of Cobra figures, especially with the Arctic figures, but damn…I HAVE to own these. They are incredible.
Along with the Pursuit of Cobra figures, there are also images of a Silver Mirage and Chuckles that would have likely been released in the 25th Anniversary line. The colors on the test shot are indicative of early samples of Chuckles with the dark gray shirt, so I would imagine they were probably slated to be sold together in some sort of battle pack. As such, I wouldn’t expect to see that to arrive in that incarnation in the Pursuit of Cobra. Still very cool to see the images online! Check ’em out below, and big thanks again to Gyre-Viper for sharing these pictures.

Hey Justin!
Nice to hear you are digging the POC stuff, as much as I Am… When the new 25 stuff came out I said to myself that I would just collect Snake Eyes and suddenly when old time favourites started to show (Storm Shadow v2, Airborne, Serpentor, Shockwave, Flint, Range Viper, etc.) I found myself collecting the line fully lol.
Love these new designs, Im specially looking for the new arctic Snake Eyes, Night Viper, Beachhead and Recondo (dont you think his face is what Gung-Ho’s should’ve been?)
Man…the details on those are just insane! I keep having to remind myself that these are 3 3/4, not 6 inch figures, that’s how detailed they look. Can’t wait for these 🙂
Wow, that looks like an arctic figure I might actually look forward to! I’m not usually a fan of those types. All the gear is amazing, though!
Those toys look awesome!
I knew snow job would have re active impact armor, and not use all the same arctic snake body.
For some reason I’m just not feeling Snowjob. He looks good, he has good parts, but I just can’t get excited over another Snowjob. He’s a fine character, but I just don’t understand why we see him so much now.
Is the Silver Mirage a new sculpt or modified from the ARAH version? Can anybody tell?
