The next wave of Joe/Cobra figures also include the hand articulation as well if anyone noticed. the hand bends at the wrist like the Our War toys do. Also no one has mentioned as reported over on General Joes http://generalsjoes.com/ look under the SK Omega section....This is what we know so far:

* 3 3/4″ Figures
* O-ring style with screws in the back, metal rivets, metal T-bars
* High quality vehicles with a very 80’s “feel”
* Elaborate, intricate, well detailed tooling
* The goal is to have a vintage figure vibe mixed with a very modern day aesthetic for a good bridge between the two. They want to appeal to both audiences
* Production is in the very early stages, hoping for product launch middle of 2011
* Figures, comic, and animation all hitting
* Main figure and vehicle designers are Ron Rudat and Guy Cassady, two of the brightest brains behind the original Real American Hero line

So O-Ringed figures are not TOTALLY dead... just from Hasbro. That helicopter there looks kinda like the Cobra Transport Chopper and then two jets including a Harrier styled jet and another one as well.
