Along with the more well-known G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club and Canadian JoeCon, many smaller regional groups are getting into the “exclusive” figure game to draw folks to their meet ups, or just to have fun with. Last year, a crew of JoeCustoms faithful in the Pennsylvania area held a JoeCustoms get together and featured two exclusive figures, Auger, and Methane. Well, just in time for the next Pennsylvania JoeCustoms Picnic (May 30th in Pottsville, PA) I’ve posted a review for these two figures in my Exclusives section.
Check out the review here, and for all details about the upcoming JoeCustoms Picnic, check out this thread on JoeCustoms.com!

Venom items with some interestingly tweaked Anniversary style figures worked in. Thanks to the Terror Drome for the images, which are mirrored below.

Us long time fans of the vintage figures have had few reasons to cheer lately, with news of the Convention exclusive figures being Anniversary style… I’m not in such a bad spot, since I do enjoy the Anniversary and Movie stuff as well, but there are o-ring diehards out there crying in their beer. Well, the tears can stop, at least for a little while, because the Collectors’ Club exclusive 2009 incentive figure Undertow has started shipping! I received mine today, and was so enamored that I immediately had to post a review.
Check it out right here!

Big thanks to Dave Thornton from DavidMackGuide.com for reporting that he’s found some more Resolute stuff on DeviantArt.com. User ibgraham has posted some storyboards he worked on for the animated feature, which appear to focus on Tunnel Rat’s mission to disable the strattelites high above Earth’s surface. Check out the links here and here, or check out the images mirrored below.
