Along with information on their upcoming television network, Hubworld.com is also airing much of the content ported over from Hasbro’s MonkeybarTV video site. Included with that run of episodes is the ninth installment of G.I. Joe: Operation HISS. Featuring a follow up to the last episode with Scarlett, Snake Eyes, Kamakura, and Storm Shadow, this continues to universe started by G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.
You can find the episode on Hubworld.com and I’ve also mirrored some screen caps below. This certainly won’t take the place of G.I. Joe: Renegades, but it’s the best we got until December, by the looks of things.

While we haven’t gotten word yet from Hasbro PR if these images are available through their channels site sponsor BigBadToyStore has shared their images with our buddies at The Terror Drome, and I’ve also mirrored them below. These don’t offer a whole lot more detail than what we’ve seen previous, other to reiterate the fact that this wave looks awesome. Yes, another Duke, another Snake Eyes, and another Storm Shadow, but this Snake Eyes may be one of the best Snake Eyes figures we’ve seen yet, and Duke, even with the way-too-freaking-big shoulder-rockets is a pretty bad ass version of the Joe Top Kick. The one low point of the wave would certainly seem to be spring-loaded Storm Shadow.
Don’t even get me started on the Cobra Shock Trooper. It would certainly appear Cobra is making urban environments a priority with this guy and the Alley-Viper unleashed on the world. Check out the images below.

Along with the aforementioned Baroness focused episode, Hasbro has also posted the 8th installment of G.I. Joe: Operation: HISS, this time featuring a showdown of Storm Shadow vs…. Kamakura?! Sweet. Love seeing those somewhat obscure Joes getting their due.
And yeah, as much as the G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra video game didn’t inspire much love among the fandom, I did enjoy the costumes they used (a neat mixture of the movie themed Reactive Armor, and some more toy-centric colors). Since these are obviously the same models they used for the video game, it’s neat to see Kamakura sporting those togs here, too.
Check out the episode right here, and I’ve mirrored some images below.

And yes, if I go through the trouble of screen-capping even these cheesy mini-webisodes, can you just imagine the kind of treatment Renegades will get once it hits? It’ll be epic, I promise you.

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.

Slowly but surely I’m making my way through the first wave of G.I. Joe: Pursuit of Cobra figures.
Already I’ve got Alley-Viper, Duke, and Beachhead posted, and now I’ve added Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, and Snow Job. I believe that just leaves Cobra Commander and Firefly, and with my HasbroToyShop order shipping this past weekend, I should be able to get those posted as well.
Just because I’m anal retentive, too, I may move the Beachhead review to pre-production and do my own production level review as well. Hawkwinter did a fantastic job, but I love Beachhead so much I’m itching to get a review in there as well.
Anyway, check out the Pursuit of Cobra Review Page to check out all of the PoC reviews posted to date!
