is the GI Joe Pursuit Of Cobra line part of the movie line, Duke's head sculpt is not the actor, destro looks different, Snakes eye's looks more like the cartoon as well as Storm Shadow and the Movie Eagle symbol is no where to be found only Cobra Commander looks like he's from the movie. And I thought I saw a Desert Heavy Duty in the line. And Zartan looks like an updated cartoon comic one. Whats the deal?

The deal is the movie line didn't do so well, so Pursuit of Cobra was held off for 6 months while Hasbro distanced it from the movie a bit. Actor-based headsculpts were done away with and things were switched up a bit.
Essentially, the storyline is a jumping-off point from the movie (Cobra has risen and GIJoe is fighting them across the globe). But the figures have been streamlined to appeal to movie fans, and classic fans at the same time. |

I think POC Cobra Commander would look very different if they had not hyped the crap out of the Mail Away figure that is not a mail away figure so early and often. Because of how long they have been hyping it we are stuck with the ROC CC look for a little while longer. Hopefully they can fix that train wreck like they did with the rest of the POC line.

hasbro has admitted to not letting Rise Of Cobra sit at the same table
as them in the cafeteria. plus the actor head sculpts cost them more money for using the likenesses. if you notice... there are no accelerator suits and no neo-vipers. thus the continuity is emaciated to an extent. I think a curious question might go something like this: is Pursuit Of Cobra a "prequel" to the new film??- ??- ??

Would have been better if they had cancelled ME/25th for POC and just bypassed the movie toys all together lol...
I don't think they are distancing from anything, they are just awaiting a more prime time to put toys on the shelf closer to the end of the year with the holidays when the retailers will start picking up to start filling thier resets for the toy departments. They don't have movie buzz to provide them any type of tie in currenlty and still no TV cartoon so aside form those of us who constanlty watch the net for updates on new toys no one will even know till they stumble upon the POC stuff, which kinda sux since its going to be the best line they have ever done...would have been awesome if they had been producing this level of a figure from the begining of the ROC movie and just left the movie universe out of the toy department cept mayeb 1-2 box sets of movie based action figures kinda like they did with Resolute. The bulk aside from the Duke and SE repaints of the ROC line was off screen filler characters and vehicles anyway. Either way POC looks to be leading and ramping into the new Renegades cartoon so hopefully that will have better implementation from a deisgn/influence standpoint for the next edition of what ever they are going to name the movie sequal since ROC 2 just dosent really work if Cobra has risen at this point...or has it? |

I'm gonna say POC looks to be the coolest toy line ever!

I know most you guys out there didn't like ROC but I really did like it, sure these figures are really really cool but if they don't match the rest of my ROC figures I might not get any of them. Because I have the whole entire ROC line every single one but about 20 neo vipers. I WANTED ANOTHER BREAKER FIGURE!!!!! the dude only got one figure and it didn't even come with his cool stuff! It looks like the figures don't even have the GI JOE movie eagle sybol on then anywhere
