Well, when you figure the Collectors Club has five short months to roll out two FSS’s, plus the extra 12 bonus figures, I guess they’d better move at a pretty quick pace.
As usual, JE Russel received his figures first (it pays to live close to the Club’s home office, I suppose), and I’m posting them below the “READ MORE” link below to preserve spoilers for those who are into those kinds of things.
Another announcement of an SDCC exclusive non-action figure oriented G.I. Joe item came yesterday with Super 7 revealing that they’re producing two t-shirts with a G.I. Joe theme.
The fact that Super 7 is doing Joe shirts isn’t necessarily new news, they’ve had several for sale on their website for quite a while. That being said, if Hasbro was ever considering them for producing toys similar to how they’re working on Masters of the Universe Classics consider this my official endorsement. 😀
The SDCC exclusive shirts should be available at booth #4945 and you can see the images below. Thanks to Diana for posting this info to the G.I. Joe Discussion Group on Facebook.
IDW Publishing has released their preview for G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #253, which is a “special missions” style issue focusing on Duke. Check out the solicitation info and the preview below.

Perhaps some of you remember that I got my hands on some early samples of the Complex Building Sets by RagingSpoon a month or two back. In short – I LOVED them, and they are available now at SmallJoes.com.
Chris from The Full Force recently got some in his possession as well, and posted one of his usual entertaining looks at the form and function of these fantastic pieces.
Any fan of 1:18 figures, or Transformers, or really any toyline at all that needs cool display elements needs to look long and hard at Complex. They are incredible and have some amazing things planned for the future. Check out the video review below and be sure to snag your own set of Complex at SmallJoes.com!
Reports coming from social media are revealing that the first shipment of the G.I. Joe Collectors Club second-to-last FSS have started hitting mailboxes.
I’m not sure if anyone still cares about spoilers or not… click read more for the details, and hopefully Facebook preview doesn’t blow it.
