Macca428 of TaoBao has posted an auction for Quick Kick from the GI Joe Pursuit of Cobra line, with all new images! This figure is a Toys R Us exclusive for fall. Now at JoeCon 2010, Hasbro mentioned that some of their Pursuit of Cobra figures were influenced by popular movies from the past, such as Predator, and Alien.

Yet the influence does not stop at sci fi films nor video games, Quick Kick is inspired by some popular martial arts movies! Here's a list of who may have been an influence behind the design of this figure(and not just from Karate Kid!):

That guy from Karate Kid on the Cobra Kai team. Or maybe the entire team.
Bolo from Bloodsport(known as Chong Li in the film). It just needs a swappable hand with a pointing finger. Oh and eyes painted just like 25th Anniversary Comic Pack Ace.
Bruce Lee from Enter the Dragon where he got all cut up and 7th step'd a mirror(at least we're inclined to think he did; you know what, we'll just say that he did because that sounds more awesome)

Included in this batch of images are a look at Quick Kick's stand, his weapons, and a look at him shirtless to show the scars mentioned at JoeCon. Hit the title bar and enjoy!
