So I got my new Droid yesterday…and I’m in love with it. It’s Friday. My boss bought coffee this morning. Could the day get any better?
Turns out, yes, yet it can. Thanks to The Terror Drome for passing along the word that ACToys forum member zartan扎坦 has posted some carded images of the upcoming second wave of Pursuit of Cobra single-packed figures, and of course, they’re freaking gorgeous. I love these toys.
Check out the mirrored images below.

Ouch. So far I’ve held back my fingers, but it’s getting tough.
As reported first by The Terror Drome, eBay seller viperkingdom has posted an overseas auction for the upcoming Pursuit of Cobra Dusty figure. Normally I don’t cover this stuff, but because it’s for a Wave 2 figure that has not hit the eBay black market yet, I figured I should at least talk about it. It certainly doesn’t hurt that this particular figure makes me feel all mushy inside.
The downside is the price. With shipping, snagging a Pursuit of Cobra Dusty figure prior to retail release will set you back close to $25. Personally, I’m going to hold off, as much as this figure rocks my world. I’m buying myself a Droid X on Thursday, gotta pinch the pennies where I can. Check out the mirrored images below.

Yeah, I hope I’m not putting my foot in my mouth.
My family vacation is over, things have slowed down work-wise… so in celebration of SDCC and the upcoming Pursuit of Cobra launch, I am labeling the following three weeks “GeneralsJoes Review-A-Rama!” Patent pending…
For the next three weeks, up to the official Pursuit of Cobra launch on August 1st, I am going to endeavor to post at least one review per day every single day leading up to the launch. That’s right, over 20 reviews throughout the rest of the month! Can I do it? I have no Earthly idea. But I’m at least gonna give it the ole college try.
There will be Pursuit of Cobra stuff, a lot of catch up from The Rise of Cobra, and maybe an unproduced item sprinkled here and there. Heck, even a Blu-Ray DVD! I’m hoping real life is steady enough for the next three weeks to allow for this, if I can do it, I will.
Hopefully this makes up for some of the dead time over the last month or two… G.I. Joe is cranking up for a huge last half of 2010, I want to be along for the ride.
Anyone who wants to submit a guest review is more than welcome… good pics and a grasp of the English language are strongly recommended. Also looking for any input or requests…
Let’s give this a shot!

The guys over at the MS G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club have made splashes in the past with their free downloadable templates for a “make your own” custom playset, and they’ve really outdone themselves this time around!
A massively scaled playset designed to incorporate numerous recent additions to the G.I. Joe universe has been uploaded to their forums!
Based off of some of your favorite classic cardboard playsets from back in the day, the deco and styles have been updated a bit to reflect a more modern G.I. Joe-friendly feel. While I can’t host the crazy, high quality files that they’ve got over on the forums, I will share some of the completed pictures that have been posted in their Facebook profile.
This thing looks amazing!

With the reveals of every Pursuit of Cobra figure through spring, 2011, some folks (myself included) were questioning just what Hasbro would talk about during the San Diego ComicCon. Well, that question has been answered.
Comic-Con.org has posted an updated schedule of events and featured on the Thursday block is the following panel information:
“1:00-2:00 Hasbro GI Joe— The Hasbro design and marketing teams and representatives from Hasbro Studios — including Derryl DePriest (Hasbro Marketing),John Warden (Hasbro Design), Aaron Archer (Hasbro Brand IP Development), Jeff Kline (executive producer, G.I. Joe Renegades), and Michael Vogel (Hasbro Studios) — discuss new initiatives for Hasbro’s G.I. Joe brand. Fans won’t want to miss details from the showrunner and members of the creative team for the new G.I. Joe Renegadesanimated television series coming to The Hub network this fall! Also includes Q&A time. Room 25ABC
Categories: Action Figures – Toys – Collectibles | Action/Adventure | Animation |Television“
With John Warden in attendance, there will no doubt be some Pursuit of Cobra talk as well, but I think everyone is waiting to hear more about Renegades, which could prove to be G.I. Joe’s resurgence into television animation after nearly two decades of obscurity. No, Sigma 6 does not count (as much as I hate to admit it).
