Earlier today I passed along word that the February issue of the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club Newsletter would feature an interesting freebie and encouraged folks to join. Well, while we still don’t exactly know what the freebie is, the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club Facebook Page provided some more cool info about the February issue!
“A NEW regular feature of the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club magazine will be a running Adventure Team comic in serial format! Each issue will feature two pages of story and art by Tod Pleasant and Rod Whigham! The first two pager will debut in the February issue of the Club magazine….”
That’s right! A NEW Adventure Team comic story…but the best part? Art by Rod Whigham! That makes my freaking day. I love seeing his covers for the IDW G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero books, seeing actual internal art in a G.I. Joe comic again will be fantastic.
Can’t wait. If you want to join up in time for the February issue, check out GIJoeClub.com now!
While I was able to capture a quick promo for Episode 9 of G.I. Joe: Renegades last week, it took a little while for me to get my digital mitts on this slightly longer one. But I think the wait was worth it! Featuring a few spoken lines by Zartan, and quite a bit more action, this second promo has me all fired up for tomorrow night!
Check it out below.
For folks who missed it, or for folks like me who are just in love with the awesome high quality videos on Hubworld.com, the latest episode has been uploaded! Featuring the introductions of both Scrap Iron and James McCullen (AKA “Destro”), episode 8 takes a surprisingly dark topic and gives us 20 minutes of compelling animated action.
Of course, don’t forget that Episode 9, “Dreadnoks Rising” debuts on The Hub tomorrow as well, featuring the debut of Zartan and the Dreadnoks!
For all of the latest Renegades info, check out my Renegades SuperSite, and specifically the Episode Guide.
IDW Editor Chris Ryall has his own little corner of the internet, appropriately titled RyallTime, and has posted a nice little preview of the upcoming G.I. Joe: Infestation comic. Check out the blog right here, or just take a peek at the mirrored images below.
The January issue of the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club newsletter recently hit mailboxes, and the Collectors’ Club is now encouraging fans to sign up for the Club in time for their February issue, promising a freebie that’s a “little different, AND a little special”. This message was posted to their Facebook page:
“If you are not a member of the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club now, sign up TOMORROW (Friday) so you will be sure to get the February issue. It’s a little different AND a little special! And there’s an extra freebie included. It’s a great issue to start off with! Don’t say I didn’t tell all our Facebook friends! :-)”
I have no idea what this freebie ism but if you’re thinking about joining the Collectors’ Club, it sounds like now is the time. I know you want the Dial Tone, so click here to join up!
Wow. The hits just keep on coming for Ross stores… on the heels of the surprising find of the believed to be canceled Wave 3 Target Exclusives, Phil, a contributor for YoJoe.com has stumbled upon something even more shocking.
The Night Raven repaint revealed at SDCC in 2009, labeled as the “Sand Serpent”! Like the Target Exclusives, Hasbro reported this item as being canceled, but again like the Target Exclusives, Ross begs to differ.
Purchased for an astounding $15.99, here’s yet another thing to send Joefans scrambling…either for their nearest Ross store, or for their nearest buddy who might live NEAR a Ross Store. Kudos to Phil for finding this!
I’ve received some corrected information in regards to my Wave 4 Pursuit of Cobra reviews from various different sources, so I just wanted to say “thanks”! and point out the added info.
In my review of the Wave 4 Low Light I indicated that he had new arms. This is NOT the case. His arms are, by and large, the arms from the PoC Jungle-Viper, but the forearm pegs of the Jungle Viper have been replaced by new forearm pads with the smooth texture.
Also, I received some complaints about the lack of a goggled picture of Low Light, which for some reason I forgot to include in the review. Well, it’s now been posted, so check out the review again, or just check out the image below.
No scattered reviews this time around…we’re diving right into the whole assortment!
My G.I. Joe: Pursuit of Cobra Wave 4 figures arrived very late Friday evening, and I spent several hours this past weekend diving right into reviews. I know I’ve been accused of hyperbole in the past, but I will say without hesitation that these four figures are among the coolest figures in the entire run of the Pursuit of Cobra line, and with a toyline like this one, that is really saying something.
These figures are awesome. Simply awesome. Check out the Pursuit of Cobra Review Page or hit the links below directly:
These are four excellent figures. It really makes me look forward to seeing what Hasbro has up their sleeves for 2011. Based on how much they’ve improved over the past 12 months, I can only imagine what greatness we have in store for us over the next 12.
We had a little bit of a delay this week as my DVR choked and I had to wait until the 11:30pm repeat before watching the episode, grabbing the video, and writing up the review. I think the turnaround time was still pretty damn good. 😉
Check out the G.I. Joe: Renegades Episode Guide, or just hit up Episode 8 “Rage” directly right here. Lots of very cool Easter Eggs for Joe fans in this one. Enjoy!
So, thanks to a glitch in my DVR, I haven’t yet had a chance to watch Episode 8, but plan to in 30 short minutes. I was able to get a nice promo video for Episode 9 captured, though, while I waited! Featuring a totally reimagined Zartan and some fast-moving Dreadnoks, Episode 9 “Dreadnoks Rising” airs next Friday at 5:30pm Eastern.
Check out the embedded video below!
Keep your eyes on the Renegades SuperSite as well, as I plan on getting up a review and entry for Episode 8 as soon as I am able. May not be until some point tomorrow, where I’ll try to balance NFL Playoffs with G.I. Joe…two of my favorite hobbies!
