| G.I.Joe Pursuit Of Cobra Prototype In Hand Pics! |
| Posted on 09-14-2009 at 05:22 PM by C.I.A.D. | |  | At the 2009 G.I.Joe Collectors Club Convention, Hasbro introduced us to G.I.Joe - The Pursuit of Cobra, the follow up to Rise Of Cobra.
PoC will offer consumers a wide range of products, with both characters & vehicles based on different environments found around the World.
HissTank.com Board Member & resident Proto Guru, Gyre-Viper, has acquired a sample from the Arctic Environment selection, the highly anticipated Arctic Destro.

| Gyre-Viper: I'm not even gonna pretend that I know what the ice bits are for (as I have no reference). So I just stuck one on his leg and made the other one a gauntlet. My assumption is that the ice pieces are 'damage' that you apply
to opponent/affected figures.
He also has some 'stuff' on the back of his legs.. that attach to some accessory NOT included in the prototype I received.
Also included are some Proto friends... Arctic SE, Flash, Rex, Pit Commando, Resolute Trooper.
I love the finished version of this Destro. It's really different and he looks menacing.
EDIT - Pics mirrored here.

This Destro reminds me of 'The Golden Child' for some reason (with Eddie Murphy). Gyre-Viper: Quote:

Looking forward to seeing this figures finished up. goodbar2k: I don't mean to sound naive...I know this is a prototype, but will the finished version still have a *gulp* red head? Gyre-Viper: Quote:

You just nailed another one:
Destro
CC
Jungle Duke (can't believe I'm actually looking forward to a Duke fig)
Jungle Viper
Shadow Stalker ocab27: Bro ive had this destro proto in my hand and it is truly bad a$$ maybe if i didnt smoke so much i would have made a run for it lol JK mikevoltz: I kinda like the Idea of Destro becoming part bionic. I thought the whole mask thing was stupid.. IMO He should have just dawned a chrome mask to cover his scarred face as a tribute to his ancestors. C.I.A.D.: Quote:

I know, man. I'm salivating at the thought of owning it. I'm such Destro whore. Gyre-Viper: Quote:

I'm such Destro whore. | I gotta say i've looked at the finished pics of Arctic Destro far more than I've looked at the pics of Jungle Viper or Zartan etc. This fig definitely has charisma. Steel Brigade: That head sculpt is really sharp looking on this Destro figure, congrats man, that is one awesome test-shot! green_shirt: he has no ears big D has no ears. How can he hear the sound of cobra fail. dsrader: Very Nice!! You gonna send that to me?LOL M. Aster Karver: Cool figure, but I also love figures with animals, and there's no animals...nice but no sale. Salerno Joe: This is one that I would love to get my hands on. I love the head and weapons most of all. Looks like it will be cool and I can not wait to see what it looks like finished. goodbar2k: Quote:

What kinds of animals? cobra command: Looks cool, have to see it painted for the final judgment. I do like these newer figures a lot. xxxx: cant wait to pick up this version of destro! jaxscorpio: No clue why but everytime I see a thread about a movie related figure with POC in the title, I can't help but interpret it to mean piece of crap... Rhetoric: Yet another from POC I can't wait for; apart from big playsets, Hasbro is giving us a lot of great product, and now all this 25th stuff in resurfacing, very interesting. dragon: ice stuff on him makes him look like crap like to see finshed product what ismade for though it does make me wander Gyre-Viper: Quote:

This figure is supposed to be armed with an ice-gun/freezing weapon of some sort. The ice bits are battle damage to attach to enemy figures. Another cool tidbit I remember them saying, this Destro will have a semi-frosted head to look like condensation and add to the realism of the arctic environment... Gyre-Viper: Quote:

i figured it was battle damage as I mentioned earlier but didn't want
to give Hasbro any ideas in case I was wrong. hahahaha Steelgrave: PoC will offer consumers a wide range of products, with both characters & vehicles based on different environments found around the World.
Translation:
The same 6 or 7 figures will be clogging the pegs & collecting dust the same way the ROC figures are because nobody wants this crap & it's not selling at all. ROC & POC are the next Indiana Jones & the Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull. Next stop Big Lots. Autobot_Goldbug: Quote:
