Well, the two reviews on Friday left a somewhat bad taste in my mouth, so I gotta wash that out with two of the more stellar figures in the second wave of Pursuit of Cobra. With these two reviews, the entire 2010 run of Pursuit of Cobra figures has been reviewed, and I’ve only got a pair of Alpha vehicles left to cover.
Actually, now that I think about it, I still have the Wolfhound I need to get posted, too, but I haven’t been able to drive myself to get that one done yet. We’ll see.
Anyway, to check out the reviews of these two figures, you can hit up the Pursuit of Cobra Review Page or just check out the links below to go direct.
By and large, the Pursuit of Cobra has been a lovefest. Hasbro has been on a roll, and most of the figures released for this line to date have been home runs, or at the very least a solid double or triple.
Well, nobody’s perfect, I guess.
These two figures come from each side of the spectrum…one of them has pretty much nothing of merit, while the other one is just chock full of lost potential. The end result is still a couple of disappointments. Check out the Pursuit of Cobra Review Page, or hit the links below to go direct:
While I’m working on my own reviews for the recently released Pursuit of Cobra Ice Cutter and AWE Striker, here are a couple of galleries from The Terror Drome featuring some fantastic images of these upcoming vehicles.
Something of note to check out is also the YouTube video of the Ice Cutter’s treads. The reason I point this out is because I was not aware of the way these treads worked before I got my hands on the Ice Cutter, and it actually disappointed me somewhat. I was really hoping maybe the treads would either be static or able to rotate, but instead, they just spin freely and rotate as the vehicle moves, which is kind of a bummer. Beyond that, the vehicle looks very, very cool.

I know I posted the Dusty review already, but now as the rest of Pursuit of Cobra Wave 2 has arrived at my doorstep, I’ll start pumping out those reviews starting with the Arctic Threat Destro!
Wave 2 really continues on the great trend started with Wave 1, and it certainly doesn’t look to be stopping. Check out the Pursuit of Cobra Review Page as I continue to post figure reviews through the week, and get those latest two Alpha Vehicles posted as well.
For the first time that I can remember, the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club exclusive incentive figure for 2010 has SOLD OUT. According to this post on the GIJoeClub forums, the figure has sold through and is now out of stock.
This is a first for the Club exclusives…and if nothing else, I think it proves as a bit of a warning into potential things to come. I was extremely fired up about getting an o-ring version of Big Lob, but most of the love these days focuses around the 25th Anniversary style and the characters…so when Dial Tone makes his debut next year, I think folks are going to want to sign up early.
While this might prove frustrating for some fans who might not have gotten their hands on the figure yet, I think it’s cool news for the Club, and hopefully they can find the right balance going forward between production and demand.
