Yes, we are INDEED getting Resolute 7 packs this year!
Joes: Duke (Siberian Assault), Snake Eyes, Beach Head, Flint, Stalker, Scarlett, and Roadblock
Cobras: Cobra Commander, Storm Shadow, Resolute Alley Viper, Firefly, Zartan, Baronness, and Destro
Those figures all look great...with the possible exceptions of the Baronness and Destro. Baronness's head looks enormous, and Destro's looks too small. Hopefully they'll fix that in the final figure. But these look like great sets!
Pursuit of Cobra looks to pick Joe back up where the somewhat lackluster RoC line may have hurt it. A lot of the figures look flat INCREDIBLE. And we get new, updated versions of characters like Dusty, Beach Head, Alley Viper (looks like I'll have to buy at least 10 of those) and Recondo.
I'm all about the vehicles, and I'm definitely NOT disappointed there. Some stuff we already knew we were getting, like the slightly updated Snow Cat and Cobra Rage (called the Fury now). We're also getting the Resolute HISS, but in the Pursuit of Cobra line (it appears a lot of the line is focused around the Joes' attempts to counter the new HISS).
But there's a LOT of new stuff, too: Highlights for me include a HEAVILY reworked and badass looking SkyHawk, a four seater Jeep/Hummer style vehicle called the Bravo Vamp (with a new Clutch), Cobra & Joe battlemechs (gotta looove those mechs!) and something called the Doom Cycle which I will have to buy at least four of and customize for my Dreadnoks. There will FINALLY be motorcycles in the Joe line worthy of the Dreadnoks!
As LeVar Burton would say, "But don't take MY word for it...see for yourself!"

EDIT: I managed so far to say what I thought about the Resolute figures that I forgot about the rest of the amazing stuff!

Resolute packs look nice for what they are, but since the cartoon wasn't that great, I'll pass on these.
I kinda like the direction of PoC, it's modernized versions of the old characters. Better than the movie figures since they seem to be giving each character a bit of their own personality/design, more so than the movie. A few figures look nice. But I'm likely going to pass since I am not really interested in yet another reimagining of the originals. Cool for those who are interested in another continuit, but just not for me.
And absolutly no love whatsoever for classic collectors. Did I not see a Q&A say there would be some classic figures coming? Alpine comes to mind. Hopefully comicon will reeal something?
So unless I find a couple of the cool looking figures on a TRU 2 for 1 sale, I'll be saving lots of money this year. :)

TOY FAIR - not Fare. That lame-ass magazine should never be confused with the Toy FAIR. ;-)
I enjoy ToyFare. Then again, I'm old school and like CDs and DVDs... and not downloads.

I was looking forward to getting a Rasta-Viper.

I wish they did more with the Resolute Storm Shadow. And why the Metal Gear Solid and Prince of Persia looking design of the POC figures? My fav. is the new Dreadok and cycle. I'll be very disappointed if the new HISS is a funny colour other than black.
I was TRYING to figure out why that Duke figure looked so familiar to me. I've already got HIS name picked out: Solid Duke.

Seeing the classic logo and the old-style single packs is neat.
HOWEVER, seeing new product utilizing it while playing around a bit reminds me of the early 90's when they were tinkering with the design (re: Battle Corps, DEF)
Best of all, the super-duper cool Jungle Viper is mere months away!

What do you guys think of the new Joe (star and three stripes) logo? I was just getting used to the Eagle logo, I would of preferred they kept it.

There's some pretty neat stuff, a lot more that I'm interested in than I thought there would be. PoC Alley-Viper, Dusty and Beachhead are for sure buys for me.

I really like that star/three stripes logo, because it's very similar to the old ARAH logo. While I thought the Eagle logo was ok, I didn't like the fact that it somewhat kept all the RoC vehicles that sported it from kinda fitting in with the rest of my Joe vehicles.

If they are altering Duke and Destro to remove the movie likeness, could it be that Ripcord is in limbo while they decide if they will keep him african-american or return him to his original look?
I'm surprised the Ice-Viper Elite his disappeared.
Ripcord is still Black in the new webisodes so I doubt they'll change his ethnicity for the toyline.

I strongly suggest buying this figure from ebay (http://http://cgi.ebay.com/G-I-JOE-2010-Pursuit-Of-Cobra-Elite-Ice-Viper-Loose_W0QQitemZ360227535661QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item53df3bfb2d) The lack the figure's presence suggest it may be canceled.
