G.I. Joe Collectors Club reveals JoeCon 2014 Steel Brigade Commander

True to their word, the G.I. Joe Collectors Club has revealed their latest 2014 G.I. Joe Convention exclusive, and it is the Steel Brigade Commander! As folks have suspected, it is based on the concept case version of the Gold Head Steel Brigade figure.

While the head looks a little bit more yellow than gold in the image, I would suspect the final version ends up being more gold than what we see here. Regardless, it’s good to see another figure, and considering this is now two figures with no new tooling, I suspect things will really start ramping up with the next few reveals.

Check out GIJoeCon.com and see the image mirrored below.

Also take a peek at the comparison image below, with the Concept Case version and the Photoshop mock up of the convention version.

I wish they had used different parts. He just looks like a Cobra Trooper doing cosplay to me. That vest looks awful without paint on it too.

I wish they had used those same parts for the 30th Steel Brigade running change. The PoC Snake Eyes torso was a horrible choice; the Shock Trooper vest can barely fit over it, and sticking Beachhead’s head atop it gives the impression of a giraffe neck.

I totally agree with Erik. I love the Steel Brigade as a concept, and have a good group of the troopers, both ver 1 and 2 of the Pursuit of Cobra figs. But this guy does nothing for me, and the Cobra blue is a poor choice. I’m bummed. From the list, he was one of my more anticipated additions.
