With both the March and April newsletters running behind schedule, the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club has posted a terrific sneak preview of their upcoming April issue on GIJoeClub.com!
I’ve gone on record saying that the newsletter has been hugely improved as of late, mostly pointing to the excellent comic contained within, featuring very cool cameos by many familiar GIJCC universe characters. Looks like this continues on in April, where we see a great preview page of the comic featuring Nano-BAT, Footloose, Jammer, Gaucho, Quarrel, and Sparta! An awesome selection of GIJCC themed designs, and I love seeing them in comic book form. This is pretty much what I envisioned when I produced the dio comics for the newsletter a few years ago, but unfortunately my own schedule prevented me from continuing past 3 story arcs. I commend the folks doing this comic for doing some great work here.
Check out the sneak preview on GIJoeClub.com!

When I saw GeneralsJoes friend Twitziller post about an experiment using specialized magnets to post and display his G.I. Joe figures, I knew immediately that I wanted to showcase this information on GeneralsJoes.
An ingenious idea, and I’m very happy that he has taken the time to write this guest article for the site. Big thanks to Twitziller, if you don’t already follow him on Twitter, you definitely should, he’s funny and he supplies some great G.I. Joe conversation. Check this great article out below.
Fewer Poses May Require Hand Support
Stand by Me
G.I. Joe fan loves to display their figures and, since 1983, we’ve been able to do so with the assistance of Hasbro’s display stands. First available in the Battle Gear Accessory Packs of the 1980s ARAH line, the first stand was a simple rounded rectangle of plastic featuring one peg that fit tightly into the peg hole in the heel of almost every figure. This stand then became a standard accessory for single-packed figures from the early 1990s through the early 2000s, before being retired during the “New-Sculpt Era”…

The latest newsletter from GeneralsJoes sponsor Big Bad Toy Store has arrived, and you can check it out after the jump. For G.I. Joe fans there are a couple interesting items in this particular newsletter…for customizers especially you may want to check out the “Blank Alpha” 3.75″ template figure, which looks like a great base for customs:
- BLANX ALPHA 3.75″ CUSTOMIZING BUCK
Go Native’s first release is the introduction of a new line of 3.75″ customizable figures. This blank body is cast in gray with flesh-tone and gray parts, like three pairs of hands and two different heads. We have these figures listed at $8.99 each, or $189.99 for a case of 24, saving you $26.
Again, check the rest of the newsletter after the jump.
