For the fourth figure reveal the GI Joe Club gives us the Python H.E.A.T. Viper. With this reveal we now get the second army builder of the set. It looks like it is a repaint of the 50th Anniversary H.E.A.T. Viper but of course this will get the Python Patrol deco. The bright yellow torso is a little bold but I think this figure will look great with the rest of the Python Patrol figures standing next to them. Can’t wait to see the rest of the set.

Here is the third figure reveal from the GI Joe Convention set. The Slaughter Marauders team gets an addition to the unit with Mutt & Junkyard. Mutt looks great even though he looks like a repaint from his earlier release. The deco looks good and appears to match up with his ’89 Marauders version. I have always liked Mutt & Junkyard so I am happy to see him included in the set. I think when all the figures are revealed it’s going to be a great looking set. I was fully in on Slaughters Marauders as a kid so I am in full nostalgia with the release of the set and lets be honest who doesn’t like a figure that comes with a K-9 companion. Keep checking back as we post the rest of the figures as they are revealed and keep checking out the GI Joe Convention page for more details.
SLAUGHTER’S MARAUDERS
MILITARY POLICE & K-9: MUTT & JUNKYARD
– 25th Anniversary Style/Fully Poseable Action Figure.
– Modern Era Release of Character based on 1989 SM design.
– Includes removable helmet, muzzle, vest, submachine gun, baton, knife, dog leash, and G.I. Joe Logo Stand.

Hey guys so some exciting Kickstarter news. Zica Toys launched their Kickstarter campaign a few days ago for Sectuars Warriors of Symbion. They are already half way to their goal of $40,000 with 25 days to go. Zica has been teasing us with news of the Sectaurs for around 10 months now and finally it’s our chance to get in on this. Sectaurs is of course based on the 1985 action figure line released by Coleco. The line was short lived and never made it past the first wave but now we have a chance to remedy that by getting Zica off the ground. One of the best parts of this Kickstarter is that Zica has adjusted the figures down from their original larger size down to the 1/18th (4”) scale. The first two figures in the lineup are Dargon and General Spidrax, the main hero and villain of the series. They are offering these as a two pack or by themselves. Get in on this early and let’s help get this campaign fully funded.
Jump on over to Kickstarter and read more about the campaign and the Sectaurs. Also, check out Zica Toy’s Facebook page to see pictures of additional waves of figures.
