Excellent! For folks who have been waiting with baited breath to complete their 3 3/4″ Adventure Team line up, it looks like March will be the time that it happens. The G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club store has just posted a pre-order for their Sea Adventurer w/ Mini-Submarine. According to the listing, he’s expected to ship “Within 4 weeks of March 1, 2011”.
The Sea Adventurer joins the Adventure Team Commander, the Air Adventurer, and the Land Adventurer to round off your Adventure Team in a 3 3/4″ scale as they face off against the insidious Dr. Venom.

A couple of days ago when we saw the little sneak peek of the upcoming Stalker from the Sideshow Collectibles line, we could only think of what the final result would be and what sorts of exclusive might be offered.
Well, the Sideshow Production Blog went live today, and revealed the upcoming 12″ Stalker in all of his tiger stripe camouflage glory! Turns out the exclusive is a knit sweater with camouflage patches. I’ve seen some folks who weren’t all that excited about it, but I think it’s an awesome addition and will really tie Stalker and Beachhead nicely together as the G.I. Joe “Snake Eaters”.
I’ve mirrored a few images below, but the rest of the fantastic pictures can be found on the Sideshow Collectibles Production Blog. Yo Joe!

I LOVE it. Absolutely love it. Stalker is one of my all time favorite G.I. Joe characters, and it seemed like a while since he really received any valid face time. G.I. Joe: Resolute brought him back to the forefront, and seeing a quick cameo in G.I. Joe: Renegades was a treat as well.
Sideshow Collectibles is now also bringing Stalker into the G.I. Joe roster, and is producing him much more quickly than one would have thought. Sideshow has posted a quick Stalker teaser here, and also promises to have the pre-order launched in time for the January 27th Newsletter. We’ll also get a nice product preview on January 25th during the production blog. I may just have to pre-order this one… see the image below.

You know, looking back at 2010, it was a pretty paltry year for G.I. Joe, quantity wise. When you think back 12 months to the end of 2009, we had been absolutely inundated with toys, essentially from July straight through to December, non stop. It was crazy. Then 2010 hit, and there was a sudden lapse in the beginning of the year…a miniature flood of product in the middle of the year, then another short lapse, and we’re now in another mini flood. It seemed to come in bursts.
However, unlike 2009 where we got absolutely drowned in product, yet much of it was the same sort of stuff regurgitated ad nauseum, 2010 gave us much smaller quantity, but a far better quality of toys. The Pursuit of Cobra hit and hit hard, and made a LOT of Joe fans forget all about their misery over the end of the 25th Anniversary line a year ago.
So, wading through this list of toys, I decided to take some time to pick my ten favorites, which are very likely NOT your ten favorites, but hey, that’s what gets discussions started, right?
