Although I already have a nice number of Pursuit of Cobra items posted on the PoC Review Page, this begins the more official kick off of my Pursuit of Cobra reviews! Some of my previous reviews are based on pre-production items, or items I acquired prior to retail release, but the Mechs signify the first items I’ve bought from regular retail. Expect to see reviews continue full steam ahead until the first allotment of PoC greatness has been covered.

A little while ago I put some focus on a very cool 12″ Resolute Snake Eyes. Well, the guy who made it was selling it, and GeneralsJoes contributor Hawkwinter got his hands on it! Following, you can see his thoughts on this impressive looking custom of the coolest Snake Eyes figure evah!
This is a custom 12” Resolute Snake Eyes made by Toyphilia. (E-Bay seller name)
This stunning and incredibly accurate version of Snake Eyes was made using the Marvel Icons Punisher figure as a base. Resolute Snake Eyes detail was then added by adding epoxy putty and some attention to detail sculpting. Figure was then air brushed and hand-painted.
The big draw for someone like me is not only that this is based on the awesome Resolute version of Snake Eyes but that it’s exactly like the 3 3/4” figure just larger. I generally do not like the 12” figures as I find their clothes awkward looking and they just don’t look as cool as the 3 3/4” figures. Well this one does.
Now if only there were a matching Storm Shadow…….

When it comes to Mechs and the G.I. Joe universe, I would imagine most folks are either for them or against them. Either you can accept them into your current universe, or they are simply too futuristic and science fiction for you.
Well, I think it’s safe to say Werecat of JoeSightings and JoeBattleLines accepts them. In fact, using the Steel Marauder as well as the awesome Sigma 6 Iron Hammer, he has built a squad of mechs, each utilizing some different weaponry with some different specialties. There are some really awesome combinations here!
Check out the original thread on JoeBattleLines, and I’ve also mirrored some images below. I loved the Mechs anyway, but seeing this squad of them makes them even cooler…some great ideas here.

Over at JoeBattleLines, Alexx continues to pump out the “Alexx Shorts” which are quickly becoming less short and more full-fledged reviews. He’s started diving more headlong into the Pursuit of Cobra stuff, which I’m psyched to see. Below I’m mirroring some of his great images with links to the reviews themselves on JBL. Some very cool stuff.

I gotta say that Pursuit of Cobra Storm Shadow is really growing on me. He was one of the weak links when I first saw him, and to an extent, I suppose he still is, but I find myself really drawn towards the middle eastern design of his uniform, and those weapons are sick. I’ve got one in the wings, prepping to review it, I find myself really looking forward to doing it now, more than I was previously.

Further casting aside the shackles of Hollywood tie-ins, GIJoe.com has undergone a total remodel to reflect the current theme for The Pursuit of Cobra! With a much cooler blue color pallet, a new Cobra Commander wallpaper, links to the latest Operation: HISS webisodes, and some awesome images, we can now consider ourselves full into Pursuit of Cobra mode.
For some it’ll be a very welcome shift. While I loved much of what the Rise of Cobra toyline had to offer, I’m also eager to step forward into the amazing Pursuit of Cobra line, and really love the look of the site.
