Just in time for the weekend the GI Joe Collectors Club gives us our first look at Slaughter’s Marauders Hardball. Hardball is the 5th figure preview and he looks like a great figure. I am not going to lie, as a kid Hardball was always one of my favorite figures. I always loved the massive grenade launcher he came with. It’s about time we get to add Hardball to the GI Joe collection. Check out the pictures below from the GI Joe Collectors club.

Yuck. The jersey is the most important trait and that is not a baseball jersey. Not a baseball cap either. I don’t understand half-assing the camo either since they no doubt plan on redoing the original for their last FSS.
It is such shame these aren’t at brick and mortar stores anymore. Kids now don’t even have the chance to “Live the Adventure” that we did.
