Super7 GI Joe Reaction Wave 8 Preorders & Official Images
Back in November, we reported on GI Joe ReAction Wave 8 listings being found in the Target System. Now Wave 8 has come up for preorder on Entertainment Earth and we have official images as well. There are some major deep cuts in this latest wave from character’s from the Palitoy action force line, to army builder favorites of the ARAH vintage GI Joe line! Let’s take a deep dive into these revealed Super7 GI Joe Reaction Wave 8 figures! Thus far only 3 of the figures have Wave 8 have gone up on Entertainment Earth, Super7.com and Hasbro Pulse.com We don’t know if the Wave has been scaled back or if this is just a partial preorder listing, but there are still some incredible figures left in the wave yet to be revealed and posted!
Wave 8 consists of the following 3 figures thus far.
Where to Buy
You can preorder Wave 8 at the following retailers:
Cobra Snow Serpent
The Cobra Snow Serpent is a fan favorite and recently released in the Classified Series. You can see that the GI Joe ReAction version is very white and in my opinion needs some blue accents to his webbing and a blue fanny pack. If they did that, I’m sure Super7 would sell boat loads of these.
Official Images
Below are the Official Images of the Cobra Snow Serpent.
Below we get an awesome dio shot of the Snow Serpent!
His card back package looks so classic!
Vintage & Cartoon Snow Serpent
The Vintage Snow Serpent was released in 1985 for the A Real American Hero line. He came with a small missile launcher, rifle, snow shoes, and a cool blue fanny pack!
The Snow Serpent was featured in the 1980’s Sunbow cartoon and went up against Alpine in one of the episodes
Red Jackal
The Red Jackal Destro also pays homage to a vintage exclusive figure that was available in the United Kingdom and Europe around 1984 by the Palitoy toy company. We have the Entertainment Earth listing below.

Classic Packaging for this Eurpoean exclusive homage!
Vintage Palitoy Figure
The 1984 Red Jackal from Palitoy was available single carded and also packaged with the Hyena tank – a repaint of the H.I.S.S. Tank. From the Toy Collectr Magazine cover, you can see what the GI Joe ReAction version looks like, so it’s super cool to look at the vintage version below and what a beautiful homage the new ReAction figure is to the vintage.
Sabre Tooth
A repaint character based on Firefly that was released in 2003 as part of the Tiger Force 5-Pack featuring Big Brawler, Agent Jinx, Sgt. Stalker, and Dial Tone. Sabre Tooth was an homage to the never released Cobra Sabre Tooth had a more grey, brown, and yellow camo scheme. Sabre Tooth EE Listing is below.

He looks so great on his card back!
Vintage Figure
This is a great repaint of the Firefly figure, as you can see the revealed Reaction figure next to the vintage figure shown below.

Remaining Wave 8 figures yet to be revealed
Since we only got to see Red Jackal, Snow Serpent and Sabre Tooth, have name only listings and no photos of the figures yet, so we will use reference images below so you know what they characters look like, especially the deep cut ones!
Serpentor
Serpentor has got to be the most exciting name on this wave 8 listing! Now we don’t know if he is coming single carded, for the first time or will he come with his air chariot? In either case, he is very exciting to see on the listings! See as these ReAction figures were supposed to be Sunbow inspired, it will be interesting to see to see if he will look like the Sunbow cartoon or the vintage ARAH figure?
Cobra Skeleton Warrior Glow
This is one that eludes is as we don’t know which character this belongs to but will be for sure a wonderful glow in the dark army builder! Maybe Cobra’s version og MOTU Skeleton Warriors!
Daina Oktober Guard
Daina Oktober Guard is the next name on the list and a very deep cut character. Featured in the GI Joe Comic book issue #6. According to Daina | Joepedia | Fandom: “She is the one Oktober Guard member with a multitude of talents. She is a skilled helicopter pilot, a knowledgeable fixed wing pilot, a marksman, a competent diver, a brilliant tactician second to Brekhov, and probably more intelligent than most of her teammates.”
Cobra Mortal Vintage
The Cobra Mortal was one of the original vintage Plastirama Argen7 figures from Argentina. This is a deep cut if I ever saw one! The Argen7 was a way to group the 7 straight-arm characters from Argentina series 1 and series 2 figures that were completely different from those available in the US. These figures were available both in Argentina (made by Plastirama) and later, in Venezuela (made by Rubiplas).
Scarlett Purple Variant & Lady Jaye Teal Variant
We can only guess that these are repaints of the original Scarlett and Lady Jaye figures. Below are some variant images of Scarlett and Lady Jaye.
