For Joe fans who don’t check into the GI Joe Collectors’ Club forums, you can sometimes miss out on some nice little tidbits. For instance, this past weekend, Lanny revealed some awesome package art for the upcoming 3 3/4″ Adventure Team product that is supposed to debut at the Convention in Rhode Island this year.
That artwork is pretty damn stunning, I have to say.
Between the Red Shadows, Action Force, Dr. Venom, and the Adventure Team, this year’s Convention is gonna be a killer on the wallet, but I’m really looking forward to it. Check out the package art mirrored below as well.
Other tidbits from the GIJCC forums within the past few days… according to The Commander, the Red Torches will come with some different weapon assortments in the box! Sounds like they may not be straight-up flamethrower troopers. Also, the inclusion of Flint and Interrogator was most likely due to a dictation from Hasbro that they include a mainstream Joe and a mainstream Cobra in the Con set.
Some very cool behind the scenes info. Check it out, registration is free.

The hits keep on coming… Black Major was great. Red Torch looks very nice as well… Flint was hit or miss with many of the collector crowd, though I think he looks good as well. But what many folks were waiting for were the Red Shadows themselves…and it looks like the Club stepped up to the plate.
Hit up GIJoeCon.com to see the Red Shadows in their old school glory. These look NICE. Straight up Red Shadows, pulled from the Action Force comics. Absolutely love ’em. Here’s hoping we get some decent Action Force foils to go up against them.
Using mostly Red Star parts, with a very cool looking newly tooled head, this figure definitely captures the backbone of the Red Shadow faction. A very cool looking figure. Check it out here!

You already have the Sideshow 12″ Han Solo figure, now place a pre-order for the Sideshow 12″ Greedo which will go great with your Mos Eisley set up. Now the only thing you have to hold out for is the 12″ Bea Arthur from the SW Holiday Special.
Brian’s Toys also has more vintage Star Wars AFA Loose and ungraded carded figures. Collectors are snatching these up faster than the newsletter can send!
Finally, get in on the $4.99 domestic flat-rate shipping action! It’s cheaper than driving to pick up the new Deluxe STAP and Scout Trooper figures which we happen to also be selling!

While the Operation: HISS animated short left quite a bit to be desired, I think fans of the Rise of Cobra universe have at least a little more enthusiasm for the upcoming IDW Mini-Series that takes place after the events in the motion picture. Hopefully they’ll explain some inconsistencies (like how Storm Shadow is still alive, and why Cobra is still such a threat with Destro, Cobra Commander, and Baroness all behind bars) and give the fans some more… “mature” action. The preview itself looks like the same comic we got with the Electronic Arts video game, but obviously with 4 issues to work with, it’ll branch out more from there.
Check out the preview below!
