With the 2013 G.I. Joe Convention registration looming ever closer, the Collectors’ Club has finally begun posting previews for the sure to be fantastic 12″ Adventure Team Convention Exclusive set. Over the past several years, the greatness of these 12″ exclusives has been somewhat lost in the 3 3/4″ discussion, but it really deserves some focus.
This year we have an awesome set with a stealth jumpsuit, a tuxedo, and a pair of great looking 12″ figures. Not to mention, their nemesis is “Black Dragon” who Real American Hero fans will remember was the villain from the 2003 Operation: Anaconda convention set.
Check out the Adventure Team preview right here, and I’ve also mirrored some of the images below. Looking like a good start. Does that dude have a flocked goatee!??

Yes, it’s been a while since we’ve posted an episode of What’s on Joe Mind, but hopefully we’ve made up for it with the length of this one! Clocking in at just over three hours, there’s enough G.I. Joe conversation here to keep any Joe fan satisfied.
We talk to legendary toy expert Mark Bellomo and winner of the What’s on Joe Mind Fantasy Football league (and operator of the awesome GIJoeGraphy site) Dan Uthman.

This time from the back! As usual, Toy News International and Geek Trooper are all over it, so big thanks to them for staying on top of this and keeping me in the loop. Check out the mirrored image below. Loving the trenchcoat, and really loving the detail on those sleeves. What a great looking figure.

For folks like friend of the site Arune Singh, who longs for a shirtless Lee Byung-Hun, this 12″ representation of the G.I. Joe: Retaliation Storm Shadow looks like he might be just what the doctor ordered. A promotional image circulating features a decent up close look of the upcoming Cobra Ninja, and it looks awesome.
Folks who like the movie appearance of Storm Shadow (and yes, I am one of them) this figure looks very, very cool. You can almost feel the depth and quality of the trenchcoat through the picture on the computer screen. Roadblock is featured in the image as well, though he’s a bit blurry and in the background. Big thanks to geektrooper on Tumblr for the heads up. The image is mirrored below.

Thanks to the numerous folks who sent along messages regarding this, apparently Hot Toys has sent out a promotional image featuring many of their 2013 products, and if you look real close, you can see the start of what appears to be a G.I. Joe: Retaliation Roadblock and Storm Shadow. At least, if you squint realllly hard.
First notifications came from Geek Trooper on Tumblr followed shortly by Kevin on Twitter and Toy News International. Check out the mirrored image below with a couple of arrows to help point out the suspects.
