Well what do you know?
The brochure has just barely hit mailboxes, and we have our first look at the 2013 G.I. Joe Convention Exclusives. And…well… wow. So far, so friggen GOOD.
GIJoeCon.com has fired up their Convention Exclusives section and we now have a look at Cobra Mortal, Cobra Letal, and the Frag-Viper! All I can say is hoooooly wow. They NAILED that Frag-Viper. Absolutely nailed it. The most amazing thing that I can see is that apparently the Collectors’ Club is getting access to some state of the art tooling here!
Check out that Frag-Viper and Letal. Eagle-eyed collectors will not that they use the body of the upcoming G.I. Joe: Retaliation Wave 4 “Ultimate” Snake Eyes! The texture on the chest, and the body suit itself is a dead give away. Wow…this is pretty unprecedented for the Club to have access to this tooling so quickly. Kudos to them and to Hasbro for making this happen.
In another nice touch, while the Club is revisiting the Cobra Mortal character, they elected to go with the only recently revealed “White Mortal” an extremely rare collectible that makes for one heck of a nice homage.
Take a peek at these incredible images on GIJoeCon.com, and I’ve mirrored them below as well.

From the looks of the solicitation list, April is going to be the first gung ho month of the IDW G.I. Joe revamp, with all three titles hitting in that particular month. Tons of exclusive covers, lots happening in every title. Not to mention the Hama Real American Hero title is bringing in some very familiar faces.
We get some background into Duke’s history this month, and it occurs to me that this is something that was lacking a bit in the mainstream G.I. Joe title previously. Sure, we got quite a bit of backstory for the team itself, but do we even really know who these people are? Why should we care about them? What are their motivations? I’m looking forward to seeing a little bit more depth to these characters. Maybe a smaller cast of characters will help drive that.

We’ve been waiting patiently…and here we go! The Convention Brochure for the 2013 G.I. Joe Convention is now online! And with the announcement of the Brochure, we now know some of the characters in the G.I. Joe “Nocturnal Fire” Convention Set.
And… oh wow. Ohhhh boy. This is… yeah. I’m smiling right now. Check out the snippet from the brochure below:
“Nocturnal Fire
G.I. JOE: Night Force is a covert unit specializing in nighttime
surveillance and defensive operations. Each team member has
been selected for their enhanced skills, sophisticated hardware
and advanced technology to surprise and vanquish any enemy!
This fan favorite and highly requested team contains several
of the classic Night Force members and some new additions
available for the first time in the modern era 25A style.
Our special edition Nocturnal Fire squad includes: Charbroil, Hit
& Run, Muskrat, Psyche-Out, Repeater and Spearhead with Max
(NEW Bobcat).
The Cobra Demolitions Team is ready to take on any obstacle
that gets in their path of destruction. Led by the mysterious Cobra
Mortal, he employs Cobra Letal and the deadly saboteur Crimson
Asp (NEW female character). Their specialized troopers include:
Cobra Frag-Vipers x 3, Cobra S.A.W.-Vipers x 3.”
Did everyone see that? Did they see that?!? HIT & RUN!!! Woo hoo!!!! By and large, I love what the Club does figure-design wise, and they’re doing my favorite G.I. Joe figure ever? Sign me UP and let the speculation begin… could this possibly be the Concept Case 30th Anniversary Hit & Run we were all drooling over last year? Or was all of that drool mine?
Repeater?? Psyche Out!? Muskrat and Charbroil? Awwww, hell yeah… these are all awesome characters, and yeah, while I’m sure many fans are hoping to get them in “normal” uniforms eventually, most of them look pretty boss in their Night Force togs as well. Good stuff. Not to mention a brand new Crimson ASP female character, Frag-Vipers AND SAW Vipers!? Cobra Letal is the logical choice to lead the Frag-Viper team as well. As for Cobra Mortal, interesting choice. Let’s see how they pretty him up for the modern era.
Hit up GIJoeCon.com to keep up with the latest intel and the Convention Brochure with full details can be found right here.
I’m gonna be smiling for the next 2 months. Bring on April!
