While everyone is focusing on what the next Convention figure will be, the G.I. Joe Club has brought our attention back to this year’s free membership incentive figure, Big Lob! First they report via an email from Brian Savage that figures should be arriving around April 15th. Also, if anyone wants extras, they can currently pre-order them from the Club Store.
Also, in more exciting news, the Club reports that Big Lob will make his comic book debut in the March, 2010 issue of the Club newsletter, starting his adventures in a series of one page spotlights. The comics are written by Jesse Wittenrich with pencils by Dan Khanna. Don’t miss out, Join the Club now.
I know there aren’t many folks who are excited about Big Lob, but I think it’s pretty neat. Hopefully if he captures some fan attention other characters like Pythona, Kwinn, or Billy might be down the pipeline…
I know that there’s a lot of kvetching over this figure right now but I’m happy to see him getting a release of ANY kind. Big Lob was always a gaping whole in the ARAH line for me and now I’ll have him in a tangible form.
With a certain forthcoming Clone Wars figure, a Python custom won’t be all that hard either.
ya Big lob is a great club figure IMVHO always always wanted him, I rememebr making LBC for him when I was younger, I joined the club for the RED SHADOWS but am I SOOOO happy to be getting this figure too.
no club member figure before was something I really wanted, but this one is. This is what I think the club should be offering, NEW CHARACTERS or a OLD characters that were/would be never done by hasbro
im sick of different versions of characters we already have, how about more things like the RED SHADOWS and BIG LOB
