So the end of “Season One” is coming near… I’m not sure I’m fully prepared for this new “Season” format, but it is certainly an interesting twist. Taking each issue as an “episode” and resetting the title so to speak every 2 years is a very interesting tact. Some will say it’s a sales grab, and maybe it is to a certain extent, but I think it’s also designed to draw in new readers who might only jump on board with a new “#1”.
I’ve certainly made my feelings known about the pacing of this title pretty much from day one, how is it coming along now that the end of the season is upon us? Better. Certainly better.

Oh. Wow.
Who would have thunk it? A Special Missions Brazil redux coming with Wet Suit… and there isn’t a hint of silver or blue to be seen. In fact, there isn’t a hint of dive gear to be seen. Only head-to-toe land-based Navy SEAL awesomeness. DAMN.
If one figure ever made an entire convention set worth it, it just might be this one. Realistic camouflage, a retooled head, a great boonie cap, and using the awesome Pursuit of Cobra Beachhead tactical vest? Sold. With those flippers that hook on the back? No doubt with both knives this time? Double sold.
Fantastic looking figure.
Dial Tone is a bit of a departure, but not a bad one by any stretch. It’s a fairly generic black, brown, and green deco that boasts to be a “Traditional Special Forces” outfit. It looks good, if somewhat understated compared to the camouflaged outrageousness of Wet Suit. Of course we knew Dial Tone would be a bit different, simply because the traditional figure is being released as the 2011 promotional incentive…but this is very cool.
Wet Suit certainly takes the cake, though. Check out all of the updates at GIJoeCon.com, and the mirrored images below.

Following up with yesterday’s debut of Leatherneck and Python Patrol Cobra Trooper, the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club has, just today, revealed the next two figures in line, the Python Patrol Tele-Viper and Special Mission: Brazil Mainframe!
The figures continue to look pretty cool. The Tele-Viper uses some different parts when compared to the original Anniversary version, utilizing Flint’s tooling instead of the Cobra Viper. Mainframe looks to be using the same tooling as he did in the 25th Anniversary (which unfortunately also includes the somewhat squished head). Interesting choice with Mainframe to put him in a standard “utility” uniform. It does approximate the Special Missions: Brazil look without being a color-for-color reproduction. Mainframe isn’t nearly as exciting to me as Leatherneck was…here’s hoping for a nicely colored Claymore or Wet Suit as a follow up. I do like how Mainframe’s colors are very similar to Leatherneck, only in reverse. It shows a neat kind of cohesiveness, without Mainframe looking too out of place.
Check out the gallery below with all four figures listed to date.
