A lot of various Pursuit of Cobra figures have started trickling out, but perhaps the one that has slipped most under the radar is Snow Job. Whether it’s due to the somewhat generic arctic look of the figure, or whether he’s just not quite as exciting as others like Zartan or Ripcord, I’m not sure, but for whatever reason, he hasn’t seen as much focus.
Well, Terror Drome member Outbackk bucks that trend and has posted some very nice images of the figure, as well as revealing the fact that the goggles and hat are not removable. A pity. This figure is really cool, and his accessories are absolutely amazing, but in a way, I can see why folks aren’t quite so excited about him. On the surface he’s very much like the Rise of Cobra Arctic Snake Eyes… but those ski’s and that sniper rifle almost sell me on their own. Check out the images for yourself.

Looks like production is ramping up for upcoming Pursuit of Cobra figures, as we have another allotment of images to check out, but of mostly the same figures we’ve seen. Still, these images are even nicer than previous ones and offer some very cool new details.
These figures are…freaking…amazing. Look at all of those accessories! I’m not big on arctic figures, but the way Snow Job’s gear all fits onto his backpack like that? Holy crap. Zartan blends a lot of his classic elements into a very neat Aboriginal style…very nomadic and bad ass, and that disguise looks great. Storm Shadow is another absolute winner. I was getting really damn tired of that character during the Anniversary line, but he just comes to life in new ways with that cool jungle camouflage, that amazing webgear and really neat glider. Not to mention the twin uzi’s. I’m almost speechless. These are some of the finest looking toys to hit G.I. Joe in a very long time. I’m astounded that they can work that level of detail and accessorization into a 3 3/4″ figure, it’s truly fantastic.

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!

As usual, Gyre-Viper over at HissTank.com comes through with some more sweet pictures of some equally sweet upcoming Pursuit of Cobra figures that are pretty much blowing my head clean off. I really am not normally a big fan of arctic figures normally, but holy crap if these two guys don’t look incredible.
The Pursuit of Cobra stuff below is the Duke (Arctic Threat) and Snow Job (Arctic Threat) from early assortments of The Pursuit of Cobra slated to arrive in 2010, though common thought is that figures should start hitting retail around the holiday season this year.
These figures just look…amazing. The bulky insulated arctic uniforms, the totally rocking accessories! I love both of those backpacks…Snow Job’s sniper rifle is inSANE. I also really love those snap-out wings on Duke’s snowboard. Such cool looking stuff…initially I wasn’t going to dive headfirst into all of the Pursuit of Cobra figures, especially with the Arctic figures, but damn…I HAVE to own these. They are incredible.
Along with the Pursuit of Cobra figures, there are also images of a Silver Mirage and Chuckles that would have likely been released in the 25th Anniversary line. The colors on the test shot are indicative of early samples of Chuckles with the dark gray shirt, so I would imagine they were probably slated to be sold together in some sort of battle pack. As such, I wouldn’t expect to see that to arrive in that incarnation in the Pursuit of Cobra. Still very cool to see the images online! Check ’em out below, and big thanks again to Gyre-Viper for sharing these pictures.

The latest G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club newsletter is hitting mailboxes, and reports are coming in that the first assortment of Pursuit of COBRA figures is shown in full color glory inside! Due to copyright reasons the GIJCC images will not be mirrored here, however I’ve linked the figures below to pictures gathered from JoeCon 2009:
ARCTIC THREAT
DESERT BATTLE
JUNGLE ASSAULT
VEHICLES
It’s not exactly clear what assortments are what, or when these will be released, though I’d imagine we’ll see them before years end, which rocks my world! Of course, don’t forget to hit up the Pursuit of COBRA SuperPage for the lowdown on everything…
