The fantastic Boss Fight Studio Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. Kickstarter campaign hit a big stretch goal today with their 700th backer, unlocking the highly desired Amazon Warrior! She gets automatically added to any “All In” pledges, and is available as a stretch goal for anyone who meets the $115 minimum.
Keep in mind, too, if you want to add the extras to your pledge, please do it BEFORE the Kickstarter ends! All you need to do is just adjust your pledge and add the amount in that you want to spend on extras, then when the Kickstarter ends, you simply choose the ones you want. Over on JoeCustoms, pluv posted a fantastic tutorial:
Now you may be asking why we’re pushing this so hard right now?
Well, it just so happens that the $165,000 stretch goal is very, VERY close. Once that stretch goal hits, not only do we get Medusa’s sister Eurayle and the Myrmidon Warrior unlocked, but also folks who go “All In” at the $500 level (or above) start getting much better deals. It’s a great chance for folks to bump up their pledges and get more for less!
So if you haven’t supported the Boss Fight Studio Kickstarter yet, please consider doing it! They all really appreciate the support.

Well, a big kudos to the G.I. Joe Collectors Club for taking the feedback from the fandom and making some tweaks to their FSS 3.0 version of Hit & Run. While we didn’t get the Firefly torso of the concept case version (according to the GIJCC, the head sits really loose on top of it and is not fully compatible), we got what looks like a different head, different webgear, and the green skin that so many fans were asking for (myself included).
It’s pretty late in the design stages to be making these changes, so props to the Club for rolling with the punches and making it happen.
Check out the new image below, and make sure you’re thanking them by signing up for the FSS 3.0!

The last figure from the latest Figure Subscription Service has been revealed, and she looks pretty great. Fans have been clamoring for Bombstrike for quite a while now (especially since FSS 1.0 gave us her two brothers) and it’s great to see such a successful end result.
She sports a newly sculpted Boss Fight Studio head with Renegades Scarlett torso and what looks like the Rise of Cobra Cover Girl arms and legs. Love the black shirt underneath the tan flak vest…and really love that the Stall family has been wrapped up. Of course this makes it just a bit more annoying (to me) that the FSS Barrel Roll is the DTC re-hash instead of the blue and gray like it should have been. Thankfully I have a custom that satisfies that little requirement in my universe, though.
Kudos to the Collectors Club for a very nice looking Figure Subscription Service. My own personal issues with Hit & Run aside, I’m quite happy with most of the selections, and I think they did take some time and listen to the fans, especially when it comes to getting normal versions of the Night Force characters out there. Here’s hoping fan input can make some impact with the end result for Hit & Run as well. Regardless I think things look good, and I’ll be excited for pretty much every package to arrive at my door.
Check out Bombstrike below, and then I’ve also mirrored every single FSS figure to date so you can see them all together. Keep watching GIJoeClub.com for the latest info and announcements! Make sure you hit their FSS Subscription Page as well and order up a set! Registration won’t be open much longer.

Hasbro’s Public Relations firm has made available the high resolution press photos for the ComicCon 2014 “Danger at the Docks” set. This set begins as an SDCC Exclusive, but then should be available at Toys “R” Us following the debut in San Diego.
I know there has been some confusion about the availability of this set, but as first reported right here on YoJoe, the intention is for this set to be available at Toys “R” Us following its release at SDCC. You can find some images below, including a great shot of some brand new accessories built just for this set!
Thanks as always to Hunter PR for making these images available.
