It’s between tears that I write this post, as many of my Joe collecting brethren received the golden ticket today…however I was not one of them.
All across the country, ecstatic Joefans eagerly opened packages arriving in their mailboxes and simultaneously said… WTF? Big Lob? Really?!
In actuality, I find myself really looking forward to this figure. Not only is he a classic o-ring Joe…not only is he a character that has been kicking around unreleased since 1987…but he’s so damn goofy that he’s awesome. It took me a very long time to start appreciating the wonky side of G.I. Joe, but now that I do appreciate it, I welcome Big Lob with open arms.
Come here, big daddy… but dammit, Kwinn and Billy better be close behind you.

Mine came today. Sorry yours isn’t there yet but that’s what you get for living in the boonies 😀
He’s pretty cool and the Duke bandolier is a nice touch. Not a figure I’d buy at all but as a Club freebie I like it.
Yes sir! Mine arrived, and he’s…Big Lob.
My love of the GI Joe Movie knows no bounds, so I’m glad to have this sucker, but as my first Club Figure ever (yep, I came late to the party, in terms of the club) I’m kinda less-than-whelmed, so to speak. And yet…
I’ve wanted this guy for years! Between Dr. Venom, and Big Lob, the holes are being filled pretty rapidly, aren’t they? If the Club shows off Kwinn at Comic Con this year, my club renewal next year is assured!
I have always wanted a big lob figure and Im glad to be getting one, This was long overdue. this is exactly the kind of exclusive the Club should be doing, this and stuff like the Argen 7 and Red Shadows and Action Force is exactly what I would want from the club.
Big Lob arrived yesterday. Love the figure. Wish the card woulda held up better in packaging and shipping; it has scuff marks in areas free pre-shipping and it is a tad curved where it was bubblewrapped around the figure. I’m an opener anyhow and filecards just get put in a file so I’m not really whining. 🙂
Got mine yesterday as well. I already got him displayed next to the ‘Rawhides’. An unprecedented honor as I always display by year and faction.
