Yesterday we showed
you images of the upcoming
6" GIJoe Classified Cobra Commander which should be slated for release in the second wave of Classified figures coming from
Hasbro.
While the second wave itself we have heard should be available for pre-order at most major etailers later this month, Hasbro apparently gave this
thentwrk.com an early crack at the figure which is said to start offering the figure this coming Thursday at 8pm ET. Note while I have never heard of this place before, it apparently is only accessible through the use of a phone app.
Anyway, while there was no mention in the initial report of the figure being offered through this ntwrk site differing from the version coming in wave 2, it now seems as if there will be a difference. The ntwrk site has released their own images of the figure they will be selling, which you can see below. From these new images you can see their version has lighter blue paint apps and gold trim, more in keeping with the characters classic figure colors.
While we can't say 100% there will be two different versions offered, since Hasbro themselves have been silent on the figures release up until now, we think the chances are pretty good there will be. They did something similar in wave one with the Snake-Eyes figure, offering one version through their own HasbroPulse site and then a second all-black version in the regular wave. With that figure, Hasbro waited until the last possible minute to officially announce the regular wave 1 version, we assume so people would be more inclined to purchase the exclusive version before realizing a regular version was coming.
Anyway check out images of the light blue one below as well as a comparison image showing the differences between the two figures, and stay-tuned for more details on this as they become available.
