Something that many folks aren’t aware of is that Hasbro keeps an online repository of their instruction manuals for many of their toys, including G.I. Joe items. Some times it can be a treasure trove of cool information.
Friend of GeneralsJoes, notpicard revealed recently on HissTank that some cancelled or re-purposed vehicles for Rise of Cobra have instruction manuals already uploaded, including the much anticipated Ashiko w/ Cycle Armor. That’s an instruction book that’s likely to get a lot of use!
The .PDF’s can be found at the following locations, and I also exported a bunch to image files which I’ve mirrored below. Very cool find!
Armored Panther
Cobra Fury with Alley Viper Officer
Cycle Armor with Ashiko
H.I.S.S. Attack Scout
Air Assault with Capt. Ace
Cobra Flight Pod with Elite Viper
Jungle Terror Twin Battle Gun with Range Viper
RAM Cycle with Sandstorm
Road Rebel with Tunnel Rat 2005
Smokescreen Transport with Beachhead 2005

And this is it… just as Wave 2 has started hitting retail, I’m posting the last of the Pursuit of Cobra Wave 2 figures. Firefly was somewhat of a mixed bag to me…his bulky vest limits some range of motion, but he looks so incredible, it almost makes up for it. I absolutely love his demonic alternate head sculpt, and the overall look of the figure is amazing, I just wish he could move better all geared up.
But enough synopsis…read the entire review on the Pursuit of Cobra Review Page, or directly right here.

That’s how I knew the Pursuit of Cobra line was going to be great. Any branch of G.I. Joe that could once again make me care about Duke was one that had to be respected. In fact, not only has Pursuit of Cobra convinced me that Duke is a credible character again, but they managed to take one of the most overexposed characters and make him quite possibly the best figure in Wave 1. The head sculpt, the webgear, the backpack, accessories, and posability. Everyone raves about Beachhead, but I gotta be honest, I think Duke’s got him beat.
So when Alexx over at JoeBattleLines took a look at the figure, I knew I had to make mention because the more people that know how bad ass this figure is, the better. In fact, if I can ever find Pursuit of Cobra on store shelves, I will likely buy a bunch of Dukes just so I can cobble together some awesome jungle recon teams. This figure is versatile, posable, and downright fantastic. Too bad it gets the short straw simply because he’s Duke. Check out the mirrored images below.
