GIJoeCon 2010 Convention Set Video Online

Not content to merely post images of the new figures in the 2010 G.I. Joe Collectors Convention set, the Club has also posted a terrific video to their Facebook page featuring very nice 360 degree glimpses at the figures in the set.  I’m loving these things more and more every time I see them.  Even Flint, which I was kind of questioning with the random, somewhat splotchy camouflage pattern is now looking a lot better.  Great work on this one, for sure.  Check out the mirrored video below…

Be sure to Become a Fan of them on Facebook to see more great updates, and I’ll see you in Providence!

All of that and information on the 2010 Canadian JoeCon!  You gotta check it out, and check it out right here.

Congratulations!  You’ve found the FINAL IMAGE!  Hurry up and email justin@generalsjoesreborn.com all five images and you will TAKE BACK THE PIT!

And wow, do these look gorgeous.  Absolutely phenomenal.  If someone told me I’d be falling all over myself about 3 3/4″ versions of the Adventure Team, I would have called them nuts, but here they are, and they really look awesome.
The head sculpts, the chosen parts…  Dr. Venom!  Hell yeah.  This is exactly the type of stuff I love to see from the GIJCC.  Can’t wait to pick ’em up in Rhode Island in April.  Check out the awesome high res images mirrored below, and click the following links to pre-order yours today!

The most important thing about these figures is that they just look fun.  Tons of gear, some great colors, great play value, and once again…  DR. FREAKING VENOM.  Sweet.

Kick Ass Customs – Tri-Gate Creations incredible Red Shadows work!

The great guys over at Tri-Gate have always really impressed me with the level of work they put into the 3 3/4″ scale.  The sculpting, detail, and articulation rivals that of many Hasbro offerings I’ve seen, and I’ve often longed to try some of their product, but just somehow have never gotten around to it.
That might have to change.
With the JoeCon 2010 set featuring the Red Shadows, obviously a big focus is on the European enemy of Action Force, but lots of that attention is directed towards the 80’s model, somewhat overlooking what Devils’ Due did to update the group for the twenty-first century.  Well, not one to forget G.I. Joe history, Tri-Gate has pulled out all the stops on some absolutely INSANE offerings that are pulled straight from the pages of Devils’ Due!  These figures look absolutely sick.  I never would have thought the DDP updated designs for the Shadows would have translated to cool toys, but damn, I was wrong.
Dave from TriGate has been gracious enough to share some in progress work with the Action Force/Red Shadow junkies over on BloodfortheBaron, and I’m mirroring some images below.  Warning, these will almost make you love the Devils’ Due Red Shadows!  Almost.  Damn cool stuff.

Really impressive looking sculpting and they translate the comic images very nicely.  The Tri-Gate store is currently down as they build up their stock, but keep your eyes on ’em, as the next round of pre-orders starts shortly.  Big thanks to the always enthusiastic jamarmiller for pointing this out to me in an email!  Good stuff, man.
