Sticking with the theme over the past week, the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club has revealed another member of the 2012 Convention Exclusive boxed set. This time around, we get a look at the awesome Iron Grenadier Elite Trooper!
And wow, this is a good one! Slated as a troop builder with two figures in the boxed set, I see a lot of great Crimson Guard elements in this figure, and he’s using the unreleased Arctic Cobra Commander tooling, which rocks! First time many fans will be getting their hands on these parts.
I’m not wild about that large rifle, but this figure actually looks really, really nice. I can’t help but notice a lack of consistency with the troopers, but I think this red and silver looks great. And this would seem to be the last of the troopers. Hopefully tomorrow we’ll see a new Iron Grenadier named character, or the last two members of the Oktober Guard.
Check out the mirrored image below, and keep your eye on GIJoeCon.com for the latest details!

Granted, no images have surfaced yet, but over on JoeCustoms.com, Stormtrooper53 is reporting that he has found Snake Eyes and Cobra Trooper at his local Dollar General store today! I am inclined to believe him, even without the images.
You can see the report in this thread, I suspect it’s just a matter of time before more sightings start emerging.
Gentlemen (and ladies) start your engines!
Thanks to Billah Killcarr for the information.

So, Kokomo Toys has their G.I. Joe: Retaliation pre-orders going strong, and in celebration they passed along some to me to give away! I have a Snake Eyes, Roadblock, and Storm Shadow single pack MOC figures ready to go to someone’s lucky home.
How do you win?
Simple. The first figure will be available to whoever comments on this thread with the correct guess for whichever figure is going to be revealed by the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club next. We figure today the GIJCC will likely be revealing the next JoeCon figure… who do you think it will be?
Comment on this post with your guess, and the correct guesses will go in a hat, with the lucky pick getting one free figure. Then we’ll try the same trick tomorrow and see how things go.
Good luck!

And they’re throwing a party!
JoeCustoms initially entered the online G.I. Joe community as the Bivouac over 10 years ago, but the official movement to “JoeCustoms.com” was 10 years ago and they’ve never looked back. P-Luv has started a thread over on JoeCustoms to discuss its awesome 10 year history, and probably the coolest part of this whole celebration is a conversation with camper and Beav, two past admins for the site. Camper was the guy who started the whole thing way back when, and Beav was running the show himself for many years until P-Luv recently took over.
Without a doubt the site that spearheaded the G.I. Joe customizing community this is an awesome look at the past 10 years, plus there are some chances to win some good prizes as well.
Check it out right here!
