Thanks to the guys at The Terror Drome for pointing out that some more images have been revealed for upcoming Pursuit of Cobra single pack figures on the horizon. Yes, I know that they may not necessarily be called “Pursuit of Cobra” when they’re released, but for simplicity sake, I’m still calling them that for now.
Read the full story here, or just check out the mirrored images below. Pretty cool glimpses of these figures, including some nice shots with the gear removed. Damn, I’m looking forward to these!

The Terror Drome has revealed some images of the upcoming Pursuit of Cobra Desert Battle Ripcord, complete with awesome flightpack and assorted gear. I cannot tell you how fired up I am for these toys to start hitting. I’m enjoying the Rise of Cobra, but recent releases have been rife with repaints, retools, and minor cosmetic adjustments…I’m ready for some full bore new stuff, and the Pursuit of Cobra is right up my alley.
Sign me up.

We’ve seen some scattered images for the upcoming “Rip Attack” vehicles, but HissTank has now provided the most in depth images yet, giving us clear images of the two drivers, the vehicles and the mechanism used to launch them. Coolest thing to me is this version of Snake Eyes…I hadn’t noticed in earlier images, but this looks to be a combination of the Paris Pursuit head and legs with the version 1 body and arms. It actually works really well, I think, making Snake Eyes really resemble his movie self, yet being a bit bulkier and more imposing than the overly scrawny first version. I dig it.
Unfortunately “Street-Viper” just looks like the regular Elite-Viper, no new paint scheme or anything, which is kind of a shame, but his vehicle actually looks pretty neat. Check out the mirrored images below.

I’ve been a bit behind the eight ball over the past couple of days while I deal with some home-related issues, but since I was posting the Resolute DVD review, I had to get something up there for the two most recent Gyre-Viper discoveries over at HissTank.com.
Man, I love seeing this stuff…both from an unproduced or pre-production perspective, but also because it gives us some great detail on figures that are “in the hopper”…and I was pretty psyched about that mail away Cobra Commander. Now, I’m way beyond psyched. This guy looks in SANE. The dark chrome red finish on the torso is cool enough, but that rough metallic facemask is just too cool for words. Much more imposing than the previous version. I really like it…more than I thought I would. Gotta love the removable twin-barrel machine gun from the HISS Tank drone, too. Check out the original thread, or the mirrored images below.

The Whirlwind stuff is cool, number one because we get a peek at the original paint scheme (at least a little bit) for the vehicle that was slated to come with Recondo. But at this point what really interests me is that Twin Battle Gun w/ Range-Viper. I know a lot of folks have been complaining about the green, but I love it. The Range-Viper has always been designed as a wilderness trooper, so the green and gray are awesome colors. I do think it will look a bit less “sparkly” in person…the coolest thing to me about this particular Range-Viper, though, is that it uses the Resolute Trooper as a base figure, so not only does it have some great articulation and design aesthetics, but it can be used as a “Death Squad” trooper of sorts in your Resolute universe. Oh, and I guess the Cobra Whirlwind repaint is okay, too. :shifty:
Check those out here, and below.

What a difference some color makes… the initial Rise of Cobra version of Cobra Commander got universal disdain (though personally I thought it was a pretty cool, revolutionary new design) got this new, mail order version is getting pretty wide praise. And honestly, it freaking deserves it. Regardless of how much it does or doesn’t resemble Cobra Commander, that is one bad ass looking figure. The vac metallized mask, the chrome red torso…the staff, weapons, and nasty looking miniature HISS sentry? Hot damn that’s a cool looking figure.
It takes a lot to make me like Cobra Commander…there’s been so much ridiculous redundancy with this character over the past several years, seeing something new and cool is a very good thing in my book. Check out the mirrored images below. Holy crap it’s awesome. How cool will it look alongside the Crimson Neo-Vipers? The packaging is sick, too…
