It's the return of OMG DETH OB DA LIN-.......Action Attack in GI Joe! Yes the same gimmick that is usually short lived each time it is introduced. We saw it during Ninja Force. Then it returned years later during Valor VS Venom(in the 1st waves). Then it almost made a return during Sigma 6. One thing fans can all agree on is that action features that compromise anything, be it articulation, proportions, overall silhouette, ability to use backpacks and/or any other accessories, are usually disappointing. America's Movable Fighting Man is known for full articulation, which broke the mold and set it apart from other figures. Taking that away and/or compromising it on GI Joe is like taking the transformation out of Transformers.

Yet this time Hasbro went in pursuit of action attack in Pursuit Of Cobra, not on all figures(the sighs of relief can be heard on the internet), but on....the Arashikage Ninjas. Yes the 2 Sword Brothers, Snake Eyes & Storm Shadow! Revealed today by HISS Tank board member Gyre Viper was the fact that the upcoming wave 2 Jungle Assault Snake Eyes has action attack of some kind. We're not exactly sure what it is. What we do know is that there is a button. Somewhere.

The other counterpart to this figure is the spring 2011 Storm Shadow. Below is a video of the action attack feature, which may be similar to that to be implemented on Snake Eyes(Jungle Assault):



Yeah...so what do you think about that? Gyre has also supplied photos of his preproduction Jungle Assault Snake Eyes figure, so hit the title bar to see those, and let us know what you think about action attack, loud and clear(is it a Yo Joe! or Yo No!), after hitting the discuss button(the armor on the lower limbs begs the question; does Hasbro have another version of Kamakura up their sleeves?)!
