There are always many of the same questions flying around when it comes to G.I. Joe Convention time every year. I figured I would try to answer some of those ahead of time for people who are wondering. This isn’t a “FAQ” by any means, but hopefully a place for people to get just a few questions answered, especially about product reveals, Con exclusives, etc…

Well, I think this certainly took folks by surprise! Sideshow Collectibles announced their San Diego ComicCon Exclusive today, and it’s none other than that “gold-plated goof off, Lieutenant Falcon”!
Thankfully, Sideshow went with much less of the “goof off” version and much more the bad ass real-world Green Beret military look. Sporting some fantastic tiger stripe camouflage, a great head sculpt, and the awesome gear we’re used to, Sideshow is giving us a terrific addition to the G.I. Joe roster here. Sure, there aren’t many new parts, but the combination is outstanding.
The preview arrived via the latest Sideshow Collectibles newsletter, and I’ve mirrored the image below as well. Good stuff, and thanks to Mysterious Stranger for the information.
I have unfortunately been sitting on this figure and this review for quite a while as other things just continued to come up in the world of G.I. Joe. But with Sideshow Collectibles letting out rumors that they would be revealing a potential new G.I. Joe item this week, I thought it was a good time to get this review posted!
I was already working on a Cobra Viper review myself when Mysterious Stranger sent his in to me, so I figured we’d do the best of both worlds and just team up on the thing. We each provided images, we each provided text, and the end result can be found in my Sideshow Collectibles review category and also at the link below. Enjoy!
Unfortunately as I’ve mentioned many times in the past a majority of the Sideshow Collectibles’ offerings are simply out of my price range. Thankfully I have some good friends who devote some serious money and time to the Sideshow line and eagerly provide me with reviews for the site.
This makes me very happy.
The unique thing in this case is that long time friend of GeneralsJoes Mysterious Stranger has been a huge fan of Sideshow’s offerings and also claims Rock n Roll as his all time favorite G.I. Joe character. So posting his review here only makes sense. Check it out in the Sideshow Collectibles Reviews category, or the direct link below.
And posting this makes me realize that I really need to dedicate a specific page to Sideshow reviews and not just the category. They need to be easier to find.
