The Toys “R” Us exclusive figures have been somewhat hit or miss over the past twelve months. While opinion was generally quite favorable over Firefly, Bench Press and the Snow Serpent Officer, I don’t think the fans were exactly wild about Barbecue, Doc, or Arctic Shipwreck. However, with the upcoming Pursuit of Cobra line, I think Hasbro really took out the stops, and we’re getting a pair of exclusives that are awesome homages to not only the vintage characters, but also plenty of other 80’s themes!
Spirit is pulled straight from the movie classic Predator, while Quick Kick is infused with a combination of Bruce Lee and the Karate Kid. As he usually does, HissTank forum member Gyre-Viper showcases both figures in a unique way. Check them in this thread, or mirrored below.

Taking no break since JoeCon, Gyre-Viper continues his Pursuit of Cobra onslaught, this time paying some attention to the incredible Pursuit of Cobra Beachhead. Even as an unpainted test shot, the detail is amazing, and the accessories are simply mind-blowing.
I can’t tell you how excited I am for this excellent looking figure. Check out the mirrored images below.

Yeah, I think “assload” applies. Gyre-Viper got a hold of quite the array of test shots for upcoming items, and produced an mysterious tale of suspense and intrigue… what happens when Token-Viper dares turn on the Cobra cabal?
Find out which Joes are behind enemy lines… and ask yourself why the hell is Duke wearing a parka in the middle of a steaming jungle? Check out the images at HissTank.com, or also mirrored below.

Yes, August is a good two months away, but the Pursuit of Cobra images are flying in, this time from Troynos over at HissTank.com. In all honesty, two of my least anticipated figures coming up are the Desert Battle Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow, but these new images have made them appealing, at least from an accessory standpoint.
Snake Eyes looks really cool in the colors shown here (even though they’re pre-production), and Storm Shadow’s accessories are sick. I love the way they all connect together and can create different combinations. That cross-sword sheath is very cool, too!
The name of the game with the Pursuit of Cobra seems to be accessorize! And so far, pretty much every figure has done it exceptionally well. Even figures that aren’t all that appealing to me have enough cool gear to make it worth while. Very nice. Images are mirrored below.

I know I’ve been holding myself to trying not to promote the overseas auctions for toys that are hitting retail in a few short months, but I feel compelled to let folks know that the absolutely awesome looking Pursuit of Cobra Spirit Ir0n-Knife figure is hitting famed auction site the Black Sheep Toy Store. The price is inflated, and I strongly encourage everyone to wait until he’s available at $7.00 in your local Toys “R” Us in a couple short months.
But I might just be a hypocrite. :shifty:
Check it out right here. Big thanks to GeneralsJoes reader Tony for the heads up!

Maybe I’ve been recuperating from the Convention, I dunno… but reliable Target staffer kennywr22 over at HissTank dug up and posted the Target DCPI numbers for the upcoming Pursuit of Cobra product. I will repeat them below:
- Figures 087-06-2239 6.99 each
- Mechs 087-06-2240 19.99 each
- Bravo vehicles(new #) 087-06-2241 24.99 each
Figures $6.99! Coolness. He also mentions that these are hitting distribution centers, and could start arriving in stores within 1 – 2 months. Retail typically does their section “resets” in late July or early August, so that would certainly fit the time frame.
It seems like freaking forever since we saw these figures for the first time. Holy crap am I fired up to finally start getting production versions in hand. Bring ’em on!
