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.

GI Joe Pursuit of Cobra continues to prove to be a popular line. We only have a few of the following left: A.W.E. Striker with Nightfox, Cobra Fury with Alley-Viper, Cobra Ice Cutter with Snow Serpent, and the V.A.M.P. 4×4.
This week we received all the newest Star Wars Vintage Black and Silver action figures. This also includes the foil chase figures. These have been selling very quickly! We have also posted the ROTJ Star Wars Vintage Black and Silver actions figures as PreOrders!
The Hunt for the Decepticons have been moving fast but we have a few of the Deluxe Class Terradive, Electrostatic Jolt, and Tomahawk.
On the superhero front we now have the newest assortment of the Marvel Universe Comic Book 2 Packs

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:
