Rise of Cobra Pit playset
Reviews of the set were mixed upon its release. Some fans praised it as an innovative play and display environment. Others compared it to a giant land boat. Regardless, $20.00 + shipping nets fans an exclusive Dennis Quaid General Hawk figure, a coffee mug, and a card board ping pong table at the bare minimum. Shipping seems to be estimated at $10.42 by default which means that for $30.40, the Pit could be yours.

Hasbro Press Release- SDCC Sgt. Slaughter Figure & Hasbro Toy Shop
Hot off the email, Hasbro has issued a press release regarding our favorite drill Sgt.
To the G.I. JOE fan community,
The passion displayed since Comic-Con on fan-forums regarding the special edition Sgt. Slaughter figures has been truly remarkable. It proves that there is a huge appetite to see this character in action figure form and we’re thrilled that the designs were so well received. We know the Sarge himself, who you may have had the chance to meet in the Hasbro booth at Comic-Con, would be honored to see such an outpouring of support and desire for this special edition figure in his likeness.
We understand there has been a misperception that Hasbro Toy Shop did not offer the primary or variant versions of the figure on the website after Comic-Con as has recently been tradition. This is not true. As publicized prior to the convention, there were indeed a limited number of Sgt. Slaughter figures (both variant and primary) available after the show; a reserve set aside specifically for HasbroToyShop.com as there is with all of our special edition figures.
Press images of Pursuit of Cobra vehicles waves 1 & 2!
More images from the folks in Pawtucket today!
Hasbro sent out press images of the vehicles that comprise Pursuit of Cobra waves 1 & 2. Included are the HISS v5 that made its debut in Kansas City in 2009 (along with the Ice Cutter), the repurposed Sigma 6 Mechs, as well as a reissued Snow Cat– now dubbed the Wolf Hound.
For me, it’s a mixed bag. The design of the new HISS intrigued me when Richard Woodhouse first unveiled it two years ago. I really like the updates to the classic Sky Hawk design found on the Ghost Hawk, even if the pilot feels a bit uninspired. The Joe’s new Steel Marauder reminds me of the walkers used in Roughnecks Starship Troopers– and that’s not a bad thing. However the Deviant leaves me a bit cold. Madmac41 keeps insisting that I need a Doom Cycle but the jury is still out on that way.

Press images of Pursuit of Cobra wave 2 figures!
The good folks at Hasbro have sent over some press images of the next wave of the Pursuit of Cobra, due in stores October 2010. Among the latest additions to the line are the Arctic Destro, Jungle Viper, and Recondo figures first glimpsed at the 2009 G.I. Joe collector’s convention.
I’ve been hanging back on G.I. Joe for the past few years. Sure, I bought a great deal of the Rise of Cobra figures but the same-ness of the design from character to character just didn’t win me over. So far I have to admit that I’ve been impressed by what I’ve seen released for Pursuit of Cobra. Sure, there are still movie tie-in design elements found throughout, but many of these figures are just well thought out. Personally, that Recondo figure has me very intrigued. Yes, yes it does and even though I think the hi-tech gillie suit of the Jungle Viper will most likely limit his poseability, the overall aesthetic is very very sharp.
