The Toys “R” Us exclusive figures have been somewhat hit or miss over the past twelve months. While opinion was generally quite favorable over Firefly, Bench Press and the Snow Serpent Officer, I don’t think the fans were exactly wild about Barbecue, Doc, or Arctic Shipwreck. However, with the upcoming Pursuit of Cobra line, I think Hasbro really took out the stops, and we’re getting a pair of exclusives that are awesome homages to not only the vintage characters, but also plenty of other 80’s themes!
Spirit is pulled straight from the movie classic Predator, while Quick Kick is infused with a combination of Bruce Lee and the Karate Kid. As he usually does, HissTank forum member Gyre-Viper showcases both figures in a unique way. Check them in this thread, or mirrored below.

The TRU Exclusives are indeed hitting hot and heavy over the past few weeks, and the Terror Drome is staying right on top of it, with three reviews posted for Arctic Threat Doc, Arctic Threat Shipwreck, and the Sting Raider w/ Copperhead and Swamp-Viper. I will be posting my own review (courtesy of Mysterious Stranger) later today of the Sting Raider, but here are some mirrored images for the excellent reviews I linked above.

Alexx continues on with his awesome “Alexx Shorts” reviews, this time around taking a look at the very recently released Toys “R” Us Exclusive Doc figure. I know there’s been some outcry about his color scheme, but I think the figure looks really cool. But then again, I loved the 90’s too, so what do I know, right?
Anyway, Alexx seems to love the figure as well, and shows it with a nice number of funny images… see the original thread here, and the mirrored images below.

Over on HissTank.com, Rulz has posted some more nice images of the upcoming Toys “R” Us Exclusive Arctic Threat Shipwreck. Seems a bit like more of the same to me, and I have no idea what’s up with that old school rifle, but cool to see some product anyway…
