So do I for some reason, maybe because I like the cold. The rumor now is that the Pursuit name will be dropped and the figures released under a new main Joe line.

So they will no longer be 'movie-line' toys...well, technically movie line continued, but yeah, that would be interesting, and possibly not. Thanks for sharing the rumor!

The "new card art" is interesting but seeing the first sign of it was actually posted on 4-chan before being picked up by General Joes, Terror Drome and others It is still in the range of speculation at this point. But seeing that logo does seem to match a unit patch on a figure shown with the Mech (nice to finally have a detail shot of these seeing the convention promo was a blacked outline) So my thoughts are that the image is a prototype of what we may see with the figures post-POC.
I honestly don't see them dropping the POC name as the whole line is worked around it, with Cobra developing the new designed HISS tank in the four regions and the "Capture Cobra Commander" plot for the mail away figure.
Editor wrote:Well the mechs being convention exclusives are likely due to The fan club posting up an image for their 2010 convention using the purposed new Joe team logo (3 stripes with a 5 point star), at the same time the images of the mech came out, with the Joe Mech pilot featuring the same logo on his (stolen viper) flak vest.
Why I have a problem with this is that ONE) it is still (traditionally) way too early for images of con specials to be leaked now. TWO) The mechs were shown at the last convention as part of the upcoming regular releases by Hasbro, not part of the Club specials from Fun Pub.
But Time will tell.
as far as sales wise who knows, I can only judge things from my perspective: Here in Canada we didn't get even half of the 25th releases, and many figures and especially vehicles had to be ordered online or thru stores with Diamond accounts, either way expect mark-ups. That said the figures mostly moved when stores had them but the only vehicles we saw HISS Tank and the Armadillo Tank vs. Serpentor's Air Chariot) became shelf warmers, as there were just too many out there. The comic packs either sold out or shelf warmed depending on box allotments. Hell I likely could go out and within 3 hours still find a Wild Bill/Scrap Iron, Snake Eyes/Hard Master pack without trying hard.
But for the Movie we've seen almost everything, and in most cases they have sold thru most of it, with a few case fillers taking longer but moving in sales.

Personally, I think it rocks they're using GI Joe molds![]()

I think him protruding his chin makes it look a bit odd but I actually like the design. Apparently we might see him in the new GI Joe: Cobra sequel mini-series!

"Little" is an understatement!

No word on mask, robotix or jem thou.....

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Well I got all of the Wal-Mart battle sets and this past weekend got the Target then and now pack. Today I found out the Sideshow Cobra Sniper I ordered has shipped, the same day I found out I'm going to be unemployed come the end of the week; Doh! While in Target I saw the new exclusive mini vehicle sets, the Deep Six looks sweet, I really think they're using a different body mold for that one. Just remembered I got the white coat Dr. Lewis last week. Well thanks to the last Q&A we know Pursuit is coming in the fall and until then we'll only get store exclusives. Doesn't that mean only one or two new figures per store until the Fall?

Great haul, but damn, I'm sorry to hear about job loss, man.

You probably shouldn't have. You already had a rough day, you shouldn't torture yourself even more...
You can read my review of the movie here, if you want.

Well I kinda bought the DVD and watched it yesterday. What I wanna know is why we haven't gotten that sweet jet pack Storm Shadow uses to escape the Pit, a Scarlet with that Camo armor, the ATV that Stone was riding, Paris Pursuit versions of Scarlet, HD and Breaker... Well we know why there isn't a Breaker figure. Did you get a chance to make a wall paper of the Joe Yearbook photo?
