That’s how I knew the Pursuit of Cobra line was going to be great. Any branch of G.I. Joe that could once again make me care about Duke was one that had to be respected. In fact, not only has Pursuit of Cobra convinced me that Duke is a credible character again, but they managed to take one of the most overexposed characters and make him quite possibly the best figure in Wave 1. The head sculpt, the webgear, the backpack, accessories, and posability. Everyone raves about Beachhead, but I gotta be honest, I think Duke’s got him beat.
So when Alexx over at JoeBattleLines took a look at the figure, I knew I had to make mention because the more people that know how bad ass this figure is, the better. In fact, if I can ever find Pursuit of Cobra on store shelves, I will likely buy a bunch of Dukes just so I can cobble together some awesome jungle recon teams. This figure is versatile, posable, and downright fantastic. Too bad it gets the short straw simply because he’s Duke. Check out the mirrored images below.

Wow, that’s unexpected! Even as Wave 2 of the Pursuit of Cobra figures have started trickling out into brick & mortar retail, BigBadToyStore reports that they have received the second wave of Bravo vehicles, which includes the VAMP and the Cobra Fury. Excellent! Click the links below. I’ve placed my order, and I can’t tell you how psyched I am for the VAMP. This looks like one of the coolest Joe vehicles we’ve gotten in a while.
Go get ’em!

Wave 1 reviews continue to stagger in, as I finally got my hands on a PoC Cobra Commander from both HasbroToyShop and my good buddy Mike last week. You can check out the review on the Pursuit of Cobra Review page or directly right here.
I also finally got Firefly as well, so that review should be going up this week, too, and then Wave 1 will be wrapped up! Just in time for Wave 2 to start showing up.

Big thanks to “williamzombie” of HissTank.com for letting folks know that he stumbled upon Pursuit of Cobra Wave 2 at his local Target. The thread report is right here, and he provided pictorial proof, which I’ve mirrored below.
Yeesh! And here I just made a 300 mile trek two days ago and couldn’t even find wave ONE.
Good to know they’ll be out there for someone, though, I’ll stick to e-tailers.

Asian G.I. Joe fansite, ACToys.net has gotten some very nice images posted of the upcoming third wave of Pursuit of Cobra single pack figures. Referred to by many as “Wave 3”, this is actually the first wave of 2011 product, which generally starts hitting retail around the end of the previous year. So hopefully we may see this product on store shelves December of 2010, or January, 2011.
Thanks to The Terror Drome for the intel, the images are mirrored below.
