Tomorrow is wednesday, which means today we’ve got a five page preview of the upcoming fourth issue of G.I. Joe: Operation HISS. Written to take place after the events in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, it injects a bit more seriousness into the source material than its animated counterpart.
Speaking of the animated counterpart, we were supposed to get a new episode last Friday…wonder what happened.
Anyway, the five page preview is below.
G.I. Joe: Operation Hiss #4
Brian Reed (w) • Agustin Padilla (a) • Joe Corroney, Padilla (c)
With G.I. Joe captured and held prisoner, Major Bludd puts his master plan into action… and makes sure that the Joes take the fall!
*2 regular covers will be shipped in a 1-to-1 ratio.
FC • 32 pages • $3.99

Throughout my time on the web, I’ve met some guys who take the G.I. Joe hobby VERY seriously. I appreciate those folks who work long and hard to enrich the hobby and add to it, I think the community is much better for it.
But every once in a while it’s fun to see someone kind of mock themselves. A long time Joe fan who runs Broca Blutch is needing some cash for college, so he asked me to let folks know he is selling nearly his entire G.I. Joe collection on eBay now.
Normally, if folks ask me to do this, I don’t bother. But the guys over a Broca Blutch are unique:
- They do not hesitate to berate and make fun of themselves as G.I. Joe collectors.
- They’re buddies with a self-proclaimed “rebel blog” called Smash the State, who all pretty much hate my guts. So any time I can show that I’m the bigger person, I’ll take advantage of it.
So, anyway, check out the auction. Bid it up real high. Whether your pay or not is up to you… :shifty:

Maybe I’ve been recuperating from the Convention, I dunno… but reliable Target staffer kennywr22 over at HissTank dug up and posted the Target DCPI numbers for the upcoming Pursuit of Cobra product. I will repeat them below:
- Figures 087-06-2239 6.99 each
- Mechs 087-06-2240 19.99 each
- Bravo vehicles(new #) 087-06-2241 24.99 each
Figures $6.99! Coolness. He also mentions that these are hitting distribution centers, and could start arriving in stores within 1 – 2 months. Retail typically does their section “resets” in late July or early August, so that would certainly fit the time frame.
It seems like freaking forever since we saw these figures for the first time. Holy crap am I fired up to finally start getting production versions in hand. Bring ’em on!
by generalsjoes | May 7, 2010 | 12" Scale, G.I. Joe, Sideshow
As reported by several folks, including Viper E7 on HissTank.com, the Sideshow Collectibles 12″ Duke has started arriving in mailboxes!
This line is really starting to be like repeated punches in the gut. I really cannot afford to pick up these toys right now, but I’ve got Snake Eyes and the Cobra Trooper, and they really are awesome. Duke is far from my favorite character, but I am absolutely dying to get my hands on this figure. Maybe next year I give up the Con and put that money towards Sideshow instead… :shifty:
In all seriousness, this is a great looking 12″ figure, even for a character who has been released ad nauseum. Click on the links below to get on the Wait List for each version, and also check out some mirrored images below that.
