Didn’t take Gyre-Viper long… just mere hours after posting images for the HISS Scout, he’s also gotten some images online at HissTank.com for the Wave 2 Mech, the Cobra Minotaur. The highlight of the Minotaur for most folks is probably the Desert Scorpion, and there are certainly plenty of images of the figure as well. A surprisingly effective figure based on the limited parts choices available.
Check out the mirrored images below. The current release status of the Wave 2 Mechs is unknown. The reason I say that for the Mechs and the Alphas is twofold… first of all, I believe Gyre-Viper was told by his Asian contact that these samples were for “canceled product”. Not only that, but I don’t see much sense in rushing out the release of the figures, then staggering the vehicle releases back another 2 months, with no figures to compliment them.
It’s highly possible that these will see the light of day at some point, but personally, I don’t have a real good feeling about it. Alpha’s have been sort of clogging shelves, and judging by the fact that PoC Vehicles are already abundant in ROSS stores doesn’t speak well for the future of PoC vehicle releases at mainstream retail.
Time will tell. Hopefully we’ll get some intel in New York in February.

A familiar face has received another care package from his Asian comrades, and Gyre-Viper has unloaded a plethora of images in this thread on HissTank.com featuring the G.I. Joe: Pursuit of Cobra HISS Scout.
An Alpha sized vehicle, which is currently in release limbo, it’s a neat little HISS shaped vehicle. Rumors abounded that it would somehow attach to its larger HISS brother, and Gyre-Viper confirms those rumors in the image gallery.
Currently, the status on both this vehicle and the Cycle Armor with Ashiko is completely unknown. The HISS Scout looks neat and all, but I will be absolutely crushed if the Cycle Armor doesn’t somehow find its way to retail. I MUST own that at some point. Yeah, I’ve heard that it’s a bit chinsy and has a tendency to fall apart with the wind, but I still want one, dammit. Until then I’ll live vicariously through Gyre’s images of the HISS Scout below.

I’ve received some corrected information in regards to my Wave 4 Pursuit of Cobra reviews from various different sources, so I just wanted to say “thanks”! and point out the added info.
In my review of the Wave 4 Low Light I indicated that he had new arms. This is NOT the case. His arms are, by and large, the arms from the PoC Jungle-Viper, but the forearm pegs of the Jungle Viper have been replaced by new forearm pads with the smooth texture.
Also, I received some complaints about the lack of a goggled picture of Low Light, which for some reason I forgot to include in the review. Well, it’s now been posted, so check out the review again, or just check out the image below.

No scattered reviews this time around…we’re diving right into the whole assortment!
My G.I. Joe: Pursuit of Cobra Wave 4 figures arrived very late Friday evening, and I spent several hours this past weekend diving right into reviews. I know I’ve been accused of hyperbole in the past, but I will say without hesitation that these four figures are among the coolest figures in the entire run of the Pursuit of Cobra line, and with a toyline like this one, that is really saying something.
These figures are awesome. Simply awesome. Check out the Pursuit of Cobra Review Page or hit the links below directly:
These are four excellent figures. It really makes me look forward to seeing what Hasbro has up their sleeves for 2011. Based on how much they’ve improved over the past 12 months, I can only imagine what greatness we have in store for us over the next 12.

Just arrived at SmallJoes, the fourth wave of G.I. Joe: The Pursuit of Cobra! Every one of these figures is great, so I highly recommend picking up the set of four. A great price and there are no bad figures here.
All of the links are below:
My figures should be arriving in my mailbox today. Can’t wait to tear into these things and get reviews posted! Keep your eyes on my Pursuit of Cobra Review Page to see when the reviews get posted!
