Sideshow Collectibles has been giving us their “Ask Sideshow” Q & A’s for a while now, but it appears they’ve moved their operations to Facebook. In a post put up on Saturday, Sideshow reflects on an interesting G.I. Joe related question and an equally interesting answer:
“Question: When can we expect to see Great Joes like Snow Job, Mutt w/Junkyard,and Gung-Ho?
Answer: Of the Joes that we would like to tackle next, you’ve named two of our favorite four. Shipwreck is missing from your list, but who has the other slot? Hmmm…“
So it certainly sounds like Shipwreck is on deck, and likely one other of the three above figures listed. Any thoughts or opinions? Check out the Sideshow Collectibles Facebook page and hit ’em up with a “Like” to stay up to date on all Sideshow news and info.
From my discussions with the designer at SDCC I’m putting my money on Snow Job. Though if they can get their hands on the new Hot Toys muscular body Gung-ho would join the list.
Shipwreck huh… don’t think I need him but he’ll make for a nice Sailor Deep Six custom.
I’m sure there will be a focus on his classic look, but I would hope they also find some ways to add more modern influences with Shipwreck. Maybe an alternate portrait with his knit cap, and a sweater that goes over his light blue shirt? That would be cool.

That actually says that 2 of the 3 that person listed plus Shipwreck are on their list of the next 4 Joes to make.
