G.I. Joe Pursuit of Cobra Wolf Hound

Let us visit the Arctics in this 2-part pic review of some G.I. Joe Pursuit of Cobra Arctic Threat Mission toys!

With the Pursuit of Cobra line, Hasbro has chosen to divide the toys into different missions which showcase different locations. I’ve seen 4 different missions so far: City Strike, Desert Battle, Jungle Assault and the one we’re taking a look at today, Arctic Threat. The Arctic Threat’s mission is, according to the packaging, as follows: ” The G.I. Joe Team breaks into a Cobra Base that’s hiding powerful new technology! ” Pretty simple right? I personally like it, it gives kids (and adults) a starting point for play. We got the Joe vehicle Wolf Hound (with White Out) for the first installment, then we get to Destro and Snow Job for the second one.

On to the Wolf Hound pic review!

TNA Deluxe Impact S1 Sting 024.jpg

Speaking of Free Stuff, a couple of weeks ago we asked you to supply a caption for this pic of Sting and Triple H, from Buzzy’s review of the TNA Sting.

I picked the winner this time around, and the caption comes from Ayeffkay (full disclosure – I know the guy):

Sting: Behold! Watermelons are like upside-down rainbows! When we find the leprechaun’s gold, I’m going to buy you some goddamn pants.

Triple H: Give me that! When >I< find the leprechaun’s gold, I’m going to buy you a speedo.

I gave him bonus points for the sly reference to Hornswoggle. Congrats, Ayeffkay!

Stay tuned for Sandman’s review of the G.I. Joe Pursuit of Cobra Snow Job and more, coming soon.
