#1 – Read the review! :shifty:
I mean, folks had to know it was coming, right? Along with the contest to win a copy of the Ultimate Guide to G.I. Joe (2nd Edition), I’ve also posted a fairly exhaustive review of the book as well, with a ton of pictures and details about the improvements and the contents.
Trust me, it’s worth your Joefan money. Check out the review, and if you’re so inclined, pick up a copy at Amazon.com.

ocab27 over on HissTank.com has scored a Pursuit of COBRA Storm Shadow test shot, based on the tooling from the unreleased Resolute version, and has kindly posted images online, which I’ve hosted below.

This is one bad ass version of the COBRA Ninja…I love the Resolute tooling anyway, but with all of these bad ass accessories, this is a fantastic version of Storm Shadow. Considering how tired I was getting of the character during the Anniversary line, the Rise of COBRA and Pursuit of COBRA has really revitalized the character, and given us some wonderful toys. Awesome. To see fully painted versions of this great looking figures, hit up the Pursuit of COBRA SuperPage.

Long title, simple concept.
When I announced my Rise of COBRA mini dio-story project earlier this week, I mentioned that I had a finale in mind when I initially produced my dio-stories…a clear beginning and an end. What I didn’t necessarily mention was that I have actually already written the end. I have it down on paper, I know what happens, what’s next, and how I might transition to a Rise of COBRA/Pursuit of COBRA universe, if that is my intention.

Chrysophylax from JoeCustoms comes through again with a nice pictorial and review for a recently released Rise of COBRA figure, this time the Arctic Snake Eyes. I haven’t gotten my hands on this one yet, but he looks pretty cool, I gotta say, especially for an arctic figure.

The Terror Drome has dug up an image of some Anniversary themed troop builder packs, one of them that we’ve seen before, but one of them we definitely haven’t. The real question is, are these upcoming items, or merely packaged images of packs that have since been cancelled?
I’ve seen some hypothesis in various places that packaged pictures automatically means we’ll be seeing these items in the future. I’m not so sure. We know the Viper Troop Builder pack was marketed prior to the end of the 25th Anniversary line, but Hasbro has stated in past Q & A’s that the Viper troop builder pack was canceled. It’s quite possible that packaged samples were put together before that cancellation (heck, we’ve seen packaged versions of Wave 14 figures, and those are definitely canned). I personally wouldn’t bet the house that these items are coming out this year or at all.
Personally, it doesn’t really bother me either way. I’ve got enough BATs to last a life time, and the non-dirtied Resolute version is nothing special. None of those Vipers are the “fixed” versions, so I couldn’t care less about any of them, even with a poorly cobbled together Mercer figure. So yeah, I wouldn’t expect to see these at retail any time soon, and personally, that doesn’t bug me in the least. I’d rather Hasbro invest their time and money into cool Rise of COBRA product, or Resolute stuff, and leave this substandard troop builder stuff in the past.
