dawg99 over at HissTank.com has posted a nice image of all four of the upcoming Pursuit of Cobra mini-vehicle sets mint in their boxes…and I’m really surprised. The packaging is surprisingly nice! For the record, this appears to be the breakdown:
- Air Assault Glider w/ Capt. Ace (Arctic Assault)
- RAM Cycle w/ Sandstorm (Desert Battle)
- Jungle Terror Twin Battle Gun w/ Range-Viper (Jungle Assault)
- COBRA Flight Pod w/ Elite-Viper (City Strike)
I’m amazed that they managed to get that Whirlwind shoe-horned into that tiny box…impressive. If these sell for the same price as current versions, I’ll buy a few of those if I can find ’em. Check out the image below.

Werecat over on JoeBattleLines has posted a pretty nice in depth look at some ways to get a more character-accurate version of Repeater out of the recently released Toys “R” Us Troop Builder 5-Pack.
Some nice little part swaps over some great opportunity for expanding the Joe roster. Check out the thread right here, and some images are also mirrored below.
“Good news for those of you out there who were upset at Repeater’s needless race change. As it turns out, it’s a very easy fix to make him true-to-form, and give us a simple but effective LBC Hardball as a bonus. The only catch, is, you’ll need to buy two ‘Joe sets.
Repeater and Footloose share the same body, just with different flesh color. So if you have an extra Footloose, you’ll have a Repeater body with Caucasian skin tone. And you don’t have to worry about a proper Repeater head. Hasbro already helped us out on that angle! The extra Zartan head very much harkens back to White Repeater, because it has the patrol cap and black hair. So simply stick this head on the Footloose body, and you have an instant Repeater. You can even keep the same web gear, as it’s similar enough to the original figure in design.”
