They didn’t announce it would be coming today, but here’s a nice surprise! The G.I. Joe Collectors Club has debuted another figure from the 2014 Convention boxed set, and this time it’s the E.C.O. Force Leader, Flint! Sporting a rocking new head sculpt and new helmet, this figure looks pretty spectacular. I love the green and yellow paint scheme, and using the Resolute shotgun shells gauntlet for him is pretty inspired.
The integration of the 30th Anniversary parts and the Retaliation torso is an awesome move. Love the base figure here, it’s really, really nice looking.
Parts breakdown is:
Head – New
Torso – Retaliation Cobra Trooper
Arms – Ultimate Cobra Commander
Legs – 30th Anniversary Airtight
Helmet – A new sculpt, which according to Boss Fight Studios (the designers of it) is a “hybrid” of Flint’s and Ozone’s.
I love the shade of green… excellent, excellent work right here. Check out the full details at GIJoeCon.com.

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.

Most of us are familiar with the work of Mark Cheng at this point, who did a great job with his Operation Red Retrieval fan film, and apparently Joe fans weren’t the only ones who noticed it. G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero comic architect Larry Hama must have also been impressed as he agreed to work with Cheng on an upcoming independent science fiction and action film Ghost Source Zero.
Hama and Cheng have released the first teaser for this upcoming film and you can see it on YouTube right now!
For fans of G.I. Joe, this looks like a really fun project, and you can bet GeneralsJoes will be right on top of it.
