HISS Tank boards member kennywr22 came through last week with some updated information about how the G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra line was doing at Target. While most of the information dealt with the upcoming planograms for January, there was a nugget of information that is of interest for Sigma 6 and Pursuit of Cobra fans:

The rip attack and mech suit things are in the system but no counts even coming to the DC's which means we will see nothing for a while.

If you'll remember, back in JoeCon2009, the Hasbro panel showed a teaser image of the Iron Hammer Mech which stated that 3-3/4" mech suits would be coming in late 2010, for both G.I. Joe and Cobra. Being that these suits are already listed in the computers is a good sign, because it isn't even 2010 yet! So chances are these are definitely going to be released.

The Sigma 6 Iron Hammer Mech was one of the most popular vehicles in the line. Many a 'Tanker here retooled theirs to accomodate DTC and 25th Anniversary G.I. Joe figures. Images surfaced of the unreleased Shadow Hammer Mech a couple of times, including this past summer. The Shadow Hammer Mech was highly anticipated, and as the saying goes, "good things come to those who wait". Being that it was molded in dark colors, could it now be rebranded as a Cobra release?

Since the mech suits are for the Pursuit of Cobra line, and Hasbro's teaser from JoeCon stated 3-3/4", it's an educated guess that these mech suits have been retooled to accomodate 25th Anniversary style construction figures(25th Anniversary/Modern Era/Resolute/Rise of Cobra/Pursuit of Cobra).

Could these mech suits also be part of a 5th Anniversary Sigma 6 line? Or will select releases from the Pursuit of Cobra line pay tribute to the 5th anniversary for Sigma 6? Yes folks, by the time Fall 2010 hits, it will have been 5 years since the debut of the popular and sorely missed, Sigma 6 line!
