HISS Tank boards member Gyre-Viper has posted 2 videos giving us a preview for the 2011 Cycle Armor With Ashiko from GI Joe Pursuit Of Cobra. One of the most unique alpha vehicles in the Pursuit Of Cobra line, the Cycle Armor has stirred up an interesting debate on the forums. Could Ashiko‘s new ride be worth the wait? Hit the title bar to see the videos!

A very special thank you to member notpicard for sending me pics of his factory painted Ashiko figure to include in this thread.
The first pics are of a painted test-shot that notpicard was able to get a hold of. Unfortunately, it came as-is; incomplete.
Also in the pics is an Ashiko with an unpainted Snake-Eyes head.
and Ashiko with Flash head (the eyes are different etc)... accompanied by a comparison pic with an actual Flash head.
(I'll get to all of that in a second).
Pictured later is my unpainted Ashiko preproduction sample with the Cycle-Armor which most of you have seen before. I received my Ashiko around the time my mother died so I wasn't really in a huge picture taking mood. I've always wanted to go back and take more pics of it for all of you and so I've finally gotten around to doing so... and when I found out notpicard had found a painted one... I knew I had to include that as well. So again, a big thanks to notpicard for sending me the first set of pics!!!!! I also swapped the wraith head with an unpainted Flash head for a couple of my pics because...
Either originally, or just for sample mock-up, Ashiko was going to have a Wraith head. Then a few showed up later with Snake-Eyes heads. But it turns out the final product will most likely have the Flash head (as pictured in notpicard's photos) and a helmet (the one at con apparently had the Flash head under said helmet... this has been confirmed).
These first photos are from the collection of
