While we haven’t gotten word yet from Hasbro PR if these images are available through their channels site sponsor BigBadToyStore has shared their images with our buddies at The Terror Drome, and I’ve also mirrored them below. These don’t offer a whole lot more detail than what we’ve seen previous, other to reiterate the fact that this wave looks awesome. Yes, another Duke, another Snake Eyes, and another Storm Shadow, but this Snake Eyes may be one of the best Snake Eyes figures we’ve seen yet, and Duke, even with the way-too-freaking-big shoulder-rockets is a pretty bad ass version of the Joe Top Kick. The one low point of the wave would certainly seem to be spring-loaded Storm Shadow.
Don’t even get me started on the Cobra Shock Trooper. It would certainly appear Cobra is making urban environments a priority with this guy and the Alley-Viper unleashed on the world. Check out the images below.

by generalsjoes | Oct 1, 2010 | 12" Scale, G.I. Joe, G.I. Joe Toys, Sideshow
In various production videos we’ve seen some concept art for an upcoming Sideshow Collectibles 12″ Dusty, and now he has been officially announced!
Personally, not a big fan. Sure, Dusty has his place in the G.I. Joe mythology, but come on…what about Destro? Zartan? Crimson Guard? Sideshow’s been doing some great military figures, but it seems like that’s all they’ve been doing. Duke, Flint, Beachhead, and Firefly are all awesome, certainly…but I’m really looking forward to seeing how Sideshow tackles some of the more… “eclectic” folks in the G.I. Joe universe. Not to mention the fact that I don’t really see Dusty as being a core character that needs 12″ figure treatment before so many others.
Ah, well…I’m sure the end result will still be very cool, just wish we could see some of the more iconic characters tackled. Check out a preview image below.

It seems only right as news about G.I. Joe: Renegades finally starts to ramp up that I wrap up the reviews for the first onslaught of G.I. Joe: The Pursuit of Cobra toys. Judging by all reports, the next run of PoC items should hit retail around the holiday season, so this may close that door, at least for a couple of months. Hopefully G.I. Joe: Renegades will help fill that void, at least from an animation perspective.
The last two items on my review list have been posted to the Pursuit of Cobra Review Page:
Both items have their pluses and minuses, and I lay them all out for you in the reviews. Enjoy!

With thanks to SNAKE EYES from HissTank.com, we know that Diamond Publications has a listing for G.I. Joe: The Pursuit of Cobra Wave 3, and Diamond has a release date for Wave 3 listed for December 29th.
It’s been widely believed that Wave 3 (which is technically “Wave 1” for 2011) would hit retail prior to the end of the year, though this seems a bit close to 2011. It should be noted, though, that many times these things hit brick and mortar retail before Diamond’s listed release date.
To see the full rundown of Wave 3, check out my Pursuit of Cobra SuperPage.
