(not sure of brand)" "I liked how my Alley Viper HISS Tank turned out so much, I just had to have a "sequel". It's a fun (but challenging) paint scheme to do. I did not put as much details, extra armor, rockets, flamethrowers, etc on this one, because I wanted to keep it a light vehicle." Click the Discuss button for all the pics & details. |

Bubble Tiange of ACTOYS has posted several images of the long awaited Low Light from Pursuit Of Cobra Wave 4. Previously, we saw this figure carded, now we get to see it loose! Whether intending to use it with the GI Joe 25th Anniversary Line or Pursuit Of Cobra, it doesn't matter, Low Light is one of the most anticipated figures from not only this wave, but the entire Pursuit Of Cobra line. With carded samples already appearing overseas, and Pursuit Of Cobra Wave 3 already available at online etailers ahead of the scheduled 2011 release date, perhaps we will see wave 4 earlier than expected(scheduled release date is March 2011).
More images of arguably the most popular GI Joe sniper after the jump! |

We have received our answers for the final round of 2010 Hasbro GI Joe Q&A. In this round, we cover Sgt Slaughter, irritation with trying to find must-have figures, and IDW GI Joe Comic-based designs. What do we share in common with the GI Joe Design Team? Any hope for GI Joe Comic Packs? 1) We have had numerous situations (not just G.I. Joe) where we have had a line tied into a Movie. Years of frustration, starting with Indiana Jones to the currenty Iron Man 2 figures. Retailers always order in large quantities of figures(mainly) to stock their shelves in hopes of selling all just because the product is tied to a Summer Movie. With years of experience, we as collectors know that there are numerous Waves of product to be released up to and beyond the holiday season. My question is, how can you sell enough product to retailers where both stores and Hasbro are both happy without saturating the pegs and shelves with the first couple of waves? Have you considered online-exclusive, single carded figures? Most kids(& COLLECTORS) get what they want within months release of a Wave. After the product just sits until the Holiday season, in hopes of selling the rest from the inital order. For example Rise of Cobra. Fans are worried that they might not be able to find figures such as the long awaited Low Light, in Pursuit Of Cobra Wave 4. A) Believe me, we know how frustrating these situations can be. Our goal is always to make sure that we ship the correct amount of product. We want to move enough product quickly enough so that fans and kids can get all of the figures we have to offer. We hate to put work into a figure that never hits shelves as much as you hate not being able to get it. This is probably the hardest thing that we do and it is an inexact science. We do, however, spend a lot of time studying what happened in previous lines so that we can be smarter the next time around. This is all a long winded way of saying that we are working as hard as we can to make sure that stores, collectors, kids and Hasbro are all happy with the quantity and mix of product. 2) Are IDW GI Joe designs off limits, or is it too soon to make figures of them? We've seen figures based on DDP's designs, and with IDW comics such as GI JOE: COBRA, fans want comic-based designs and miss the comic packs! IDW designs aren't off-limits, per se. These designs are just not part of our current strategy. Comic based designs and comic packs are something that come up frequently in conversations but we have no current plans for either. The reality is that they are just not feasable in the current line. They end up being too expensive and don't sell well enough to justify. 3) Is Sgt. Slaughter coming to retail as part of the Renegades line, or part of a separate line? A) Unfortunately, the Sarge will not be available in mainline or any other line. Sorry. Also don't forget to check out answers to questions over at our sister site, Toyark! |

Xovergen has updated their site with a new update on their Supreme Tactical Commander Grand Patriot figure! This was based on Don Figueroa's unused Rolling Thunder Optimus Prime design. The last time we saw this was in October with a painted sample. Now we see 2 versions, the aforementioned sample in Optimus Prime colors, the new one in more traditional military colors(green)! The latter is an exclusive. Each set includes:
figure total height approximately 19cm; vehicle total length approximately 32cm. Check the new images out after the jump! |

With the answers to the Final Hasbro GI Joe 2010 QnA Answers coming in last week, we learned that 1 or 2 female figures will be introduced before the end of 2011. Throughout the year, we've seen demand for City Strike Scarlett, and disappointment for its cancellation. Back at JoeCon quite a buzz was made about the canceled Pursuit Of Cobra version of Zarana. While images of this figure were not allowed, it received much praise from fans who saw it during the Hasbro tour.
If a City Strike Scarlett were to be released prior to GI Joe 2, it would most likely have either an existing head sculpt, or new one, both not featuring the likeness of Rachel Nichols. Perhaps this is to our benefit because the 25th Anniversary GI Joe head sculpts for Scarlett are arguably dated(compared to what we have seen Hasbro pull off since), and the head sculpt for GI Joe Resolute Scarlett is too big. Hypothetically, let's say City Strike Scarlett and Zarana were being considered for next year, as 1 of the 2 potential female figures in the 2011 GI Joe line(s). Which one would you prefer? This is not a logistics discussion or speculation on likelihood. It's all about which one you would want to see more! |
