I’d mentioned this great looking Articulated Icons Kickstarter a while ago, mostly focusing on a particular “Deluxe White Ninja” figure that I thought might be one that G.I. Joe fans could be interested in.
As time has gone on, successful funding and the revelation of further stretch goals has proven this 6″ Ninja themed line to be pretty darn impressive in its own right. There are a lot of great looking figures here with a bunch of character, along with some nice masked troop builders. The Kickstarter campaign is nearing the finish line, with just a bit over two days to go, and while the initial funding goal has been met (and then some) there is still some room to unlock a few more stretch goals.
While it currently sits at a bit above $180,000, once it hits $200,000 more figures get unlocked, and then at $250,000 ALL stretch goal figures will be unlocked! That’s not a huge jump from where things are now, and there are some downright gorgeous figures to be had at all levels. Do yourself a favor and check out Articulated Icons on Kickstarter and consider dumping some cash in to get these other stretch goals unlocked. This looks like a fantastic line if you’re a 6″ collector. Check out the Kickstarter right here, and take a peek at the mirrored images below.

News out of this weekend’s Roll Out Roll Call in the UK! The fine folks from Boss Fight Studio are in attendance and have revealed an exclusive Amazon Warrior to be available through Kokomo Toys and All the Cool Stuff.
This exclusive version of the Amazon has different armor and weapons and should be an awesome addition to the already impressive looking Vitruvian HACKS line.
Along with the exclusive Amazon, plenty of other HACKS offerings were on display, and can see those below. Big thanks to Paddy for all the images from the show…keep watching the Boss Fighters Facebook page for any other updates.

We are less than a week from the UK’s biggest and best G.I. Joe/Transformers Convention, Roll Out Roll Call, in Southampton! Attendees have come to expect a fantastic show with lots of great dealers, great insight from special guests and lots more.
Well, this year, things might be getting even MORE interesting.
Fun Publications’ own Pete Sinclair will be in attendance at Roll Out Roll Call this year, and will be hosting panels to talk about what’s coming up for the Transformers AND G.I. Joe Collectors Clubs! Time will tell if there will be any special news or reveals from the show, but it seems to be they wouldn’t be doing panels if they didn’t have some fun new stuff to talk about.
If you live anywhere near Southampton, UK, this could be a very unique opportunity to come to a show and soak up this fun hobby and enjoy the company of a GREAT crew of diehard G.I. Joe (and Transformers, and Masters of the Universe, etc…) fans. Everything I hear about the show is good.
Check out all the details at All The Cool Stuff or on Facebook and I’ve mirrored some info below as well. This should be another great show!
So on top of the amazing exclusives that were available for pre-order atRoll Out Roll Call, The UK Transformers, G.I. Joe & Action Force Show, the Transformers Collectors’ Club (Official) and G.I. Joe Collectors’ Clubhave a few special surprises AND PRODUCT REVEALS in store.
