HISS Tank boards member Gyre-Viper has posted images of his recently acquired preproduction sword brothers from the GI Joe Pursuit of Cobra line. Shown in this new batch of images are:

Storm Shadow from the spring 2011 assortment
Training Snake Eyes assortment/wave info pending official confirmation

Perhaps Hasbro thinks the Pursuit of Cobra is crucial too; what if the new Snake Eyes figure is part of an additional wave(or waves) planned for debut at San Diego Comic Con 2010? This version of Snake Eyes features a mix of Arashikage Clan ninja gear from previous releases, and the gear from Training Duke(the figure based on the scene where Brendan Frasier made a brief cameo as SGT. Stone and asked "Are they Joes or jokes?").

Gyre-Viper has mentioned that Storm Shadow has a button on the side. Could this be a return to the Action Attack gimmick last seen in the 1st waves of Valor VS Venom? Currently, it does not seem like articulation(aside from the lack of a torso ball joint; a waist swivel is used in lieu of it) is compromised, so cross your fingers this stays the same by final production. Full articulation is a standard for GI Joe figures; without it a GI Joe figure isn't "America's moving fighting man"(it's like a Transformer that can't transform). Hit the title bar to see more!
