Yeah, the headline is corny, deal with it.
As promised, the G.I. Joe Collectors Club revealed their latest 2014 G.I. Joe Convention Exclusive today, and it’s none other than Zombie Hunter TJBang!
I suspected, once some colors were revealed, that this figure might appear in a very classically themed uniform, and it looks like that suspicion is right on the money! I know there have been folks questioning why the Club is apparently combining Ninja Force with E.C.O. Force, and I think we’ll probably get some answers with the Convention comic this year. Regardless, for those 90s lovers like myself this is really awesome.
TJBang now joins the Discount Store Storm Shadow on the Ninja Force roster, and one might wonder if others are close behind. Dice is on the other side of the fence…will we see some other key members in future Figure Subscription Services?
Regardless, check out GIJoeCon.com and the image mirrored below.

Yesterday the reveal of the 12″ uniform set left some folks excited, especially thinking about how that could translate to a 4″ Joe Colton figure, but today it looks like we’re back to the 4″ set whole hog, as the G.I. Joe Con Twitter account posted the following:
Yes, indeed, it looks like we might see another Zombie Hunter today! Will it be TJbang or Outback? Keep your eyes squarely on GIJoeCon.com to find out!

Another day, another 2014 Convention reveal! While today’s image isn’t of the Real American Hero set, it could have potential implications for us fans of the small figures.
Today, the G.I. Joe Collectors Club revealed an awesome looking tiger stripe camouflage uniform for their 12″ “Codename: G.I. Joe” Convention set, celebrating the 50th Anniversary of G.I. Joe. It’s got some terrific, intricate camouflage, and looking at other reveals, we have the familiar green beret as well.
So what does that mean for RAH fans? Well, perhaps nothing, but considering a 4″ Joe Colton is going to be available as an exclusive, could this perhaps be an indication of what that figure might look like? Just like Hasbro did in 1994, could the Collectors’ Club be celebrating the anniversary with 4″ and 12″ representations of this great green beret figure?
It’s certainly possible. In ’94 there was a mail away for both a 12″ and a 3 3/4″ Joe Colton, it seems quite fitting that precisely 20 years later they might replicate that for the 50th celebration.
Check out GIJoeCon.com for the latest images, I’ve mirrored one of them below.

It’s G.I. Joe’s 50th Anniversary, and the G.I. Joe Collectors Club isn’t missing the chance to celebrate in style. We’ve seen details from the 4″ Real American Hero E.C.O. Force set already, and now we’ve started seeing some stuff from the 12″ big brother as well.
With head sculpts looking decidedly vintage, the Collectors Club has posted a few images from the 12″ set on GIJoeCon.com.
I’ve mirrored one image below, but definitely check GIJoeCon.com for the full details. Good stuff!

They didn’t announce it would be coming today, but here’s a nice surprise! The G.I. Joe Collectors Club has debuted another figure from the 2014 Convention boxed set, and this time it’s the E.C.O. Force Leader, Flint! Sporting a rocking new head sculpt and new helmet, this figure looks pretty spectacular. I love the green and yellow paint scheme, and using the Resolute shotgun shells gauntlet for him is pretty inspired.
The integration of the 30th Anniversary parts and the Retaliation torso is an awesome move. Love the base figure here, it’s really, really nice looking.
Parts breakdown is:
Head – New
Torso – Retaliation Cobra Trooper
Arms – Ultimate Cobra Commander
Legs – 30th Anniversary Airtight
Helmet – A new sculpt, which according to Boss Fight Studios (the designers of it) is a “hybrid” of Flint’s and Ozone’s.
I love the shade of green… excellent, excellent work right here. Check out the full details at GIJoeCon.com.

True to their word, the G.I. Joe Collectors Club has revealed their latest 2014 G.I. Joe Convention exclusive, and it is the Steel Brigade Commander! As folks have suspected, it is based on the concept case version of the Gold Head Steel Brigade figure.
While the head looks a little bit more yellow than gold in the image, I would suspect the final version ends up being more gold than what we see here. Regardless, it’s good to see another figure, and considering this is now two figures with no new tooling, I suspect things will really start ramping up with the next few reveals.
Check out GIJoeCon.com and see the image mirrored below.
Also take a peek at the comparison image below, with the Concept Case version and the Photoshop mock up of the convention version.

As reported today on the G.I. Joe Convention Twitter account, expect another exciting convention figure reveal today from the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club:
So it sounds like we’re due for a reveal on the G.I. Joe side today. Will it be a member of the E.C.O. Force or one of the Zombie Hunters? Whichever one it is, I’m looking forward to seeing it. Keep watching GIJoeCon.com for the reveal!
