Lady Jaye was sketched and hardlined with #3 (H) graphite pencil on 11"x17" bristol paper and then digitally colored with Corel Painter. Not only was he able to capture her beauty but was also able to blend the classic A Real American Hero look with the more modern Resolute style. If that isn't enough to impress you keep in mind, Wry1 is colorblind. Click discuss to comment on this work and check out what else is going on in the Fan Art Forum.

The GI Joe Pursuit Of Cobra line currently(and for the foreseeable future) lacks female figures, but it wasn't always meant to be this way. Last year, Hasbro revealed a new version of Scarlett with a mix of new parts; City Strike Scarlett. Featuring a glider pack and melee weapons, this was a rather unique version of Scarlett. It was supposed to come with tonfa swords; were these also planned for a Final Battle Snake Eyes figure?
One notable wish fans have mentioned, is the desire for female figures in the Pursuit Of Cobra line. They are a noticeable exception. Could Scarlet(City Strike) be saved for release next year, possibly as a retailer exclusive? Who knows. Until then, hit the discuss button to see how it turned out!

In addition to Arctic Threat Doc, Toys R Us offered another Arctic Threat themed exclusive earlier this year, Arctic Threat Shipwreck with Polly! The Arctic Threat theme seems to be popular as there have been many arctic themed releases for GI Joe Pursuit Of Cobra.
Is the notorious sailor and parrot in arctic gear worth adding to your arctic Joe collection? Hit the discuss button to read Steel Brigade's review!

Earlier this year, Toys R Us offered a few exclusives from GI Joe Rise Of Cobra which were some of the 1st items to bear the Pursuit Of Cobra title. One of these items was Arctic Threat Doc. While some of you may be occupied trying to find GI Joe Pursuit Of Cobra Wave 1, there may be some of you on the fence debating whether or not to pick up Doc(Arctic Threat).
If you passed by this figure on shelves and still had 2nd thoughts, perhaps a review would help. Hit the discuss button to check out Steel Brigade's thoughts on the figure!

Months ago, Troynos got his hands on a a preproduction sample of the retooled Ghost HAWK for GI Joe Pursuit Of Cobra. At the time, no one officially knew when or if it would be released, but it was released recently as part of GI Joe Pursuit Of Cobra Wave 1.
To see how the final production version of the Ghost HAWK With Tomahawk turned out compared to the prepro sample, hit the discuss button!

The Cobra Commander figure from the GI Joe Rise Of Cobra line did not receive the warmest reception, and coming soon to store shelves(some of you have found wave 1 already, but it isn't a widespread release, yet) is a different version with different accessories and a new head sculpt. Could the Chase Cobra Commander from GI Joe Pursuit Of Cobra Wave 1 achieve more success? Aside the fact that it is a chase figure, is it worth picking it up? Shogi has reviewed this figure, hit the discuss button to see how it turned out!

Stunning, beautiful deadly..... that's The Baroness. Drawing some inspiration from Sienna Miller in GI Joe The Rise of Cobra but mostly from his own imagination HissTank.com member IIIzoeIII shares with us Cobra's Counter Inelegance Officer. Capturing in ink the very essence of The Baroness from black leather to twin pistols to the Cobra belt buckle she can fit in with every version of Cobra from A Real American Hero to Pursuit of Cobra.

Troynos has reviewed the wave 3 Tiger Paw ATV With Leatherneck from the GI Joe Rise Of Cobra line. Still no word on if this vehicle and its other wave 3 counterparts will see widespread release in the US(so far it is readily available in Canada). For those of you who like using the newer vehicles for your vintage A Real American Hero figures, this vehicle is actually better suited for those. Why?
