Well there’s a nice surprise for your Monday afternoon!
The G.I. Joe Collectors Club has revealed their 2013 Membership Incentive figure. We already knew Iceberg was coming, but we hadn’t seen the actual figure yet. Now we have! The new head sculpt looks great, and could potentially work for a guy like Big Ben as well.
I believe the torso and fur collar is from Snow Serpent, with arms from the 30th Anniversary Airtight. The Spirit legs are a great idea with that fuzzy cuff around the boots, though the figure looks a little bit top heavy. Almost seems like he could have used a belt or something.
Probably the highlight of the figure, though, is the inclusion of many of the accessories only available with the canceled Rise of Cobra Arctic Duke. He’s got the wrapped machine gun, the snowboard, and what looks like the backpack as well. A pity they couldn’t find a way to get that elusive jacket included, too. Perhaps somewhere down the line we’ll see that one.
Check out the figure over at GIJoeClub.com, and I’ve also mirrored him below. If you want this figure, you must JOIN THE GIJOE CLUB by March 16th!!

Come on, I don’t need to put a spoiler warning up there do I? These figures were shipped a few weeks ago, and I’m figuring by this point everyone knows what the second installment of the FSS was. Continuing on my week-long review frenzy, the latest two G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club Figure Subscription Service figures have been added to the review archive!

Okay, it’s late, and I’ve been at this for several hours…so I think this is pretty accurate, but I welcome any feedback and comments to the contrary. Re-arranged the wave layouts to more accurately reflect what we now know. Added the EagleHawk, and the new figures we saw today. Lots and lots of pictures!
Not all of the pictures…for all of the pictures, you gotta roam over to the YoJoe Events Page and check out the hundreds and hundreds of images that have been uploaded there. The SuperPage is just for a bit easier reference point.

Here we go!
The images have processed from the Tomahawk/Eaglehawk vehicle straight from the Hasbro showroom floor, and they are posted at the YoJoe.com Events page! I am hitting up all other items revealed today and should be uploading them all promptly.
Yo Joe!

I’ve been getting a number of questions via e-mail, Twitter, and other places, so figured I would lay it all out here. The Hasbro fan event begins today at 1:00pm Eastern Time here in New York City. In spite of the Nemo assault, I am here in the city and ready to start spreading the 2013 G.I. Joe news! The presentation generally lasts for a couple of hours, then images can be taken in the show room until closer to 4:30pm or 5:00pm. Expect photo barrages to come shortly thereafter.
Pictures will be uploaded at the YoJoe Events section (with the appropriate notification here) and I’ll be doing all of the analysis and SuperPage stuff you’ve come to expect. We also plan on doing a special What’s on Joe Mind recording tonight as well, breaking everything down.
Keep checking back, and of course, mobile coverage of Toy Fair 2013 is brought to you by the fine folks at Kokomo Toys!

Well, look at that! You wouldn’t necessarily think so, but a slight change in hair color makes all the difference in the world. It helps that this head has only been used with masked characters so far as well.
Yes, Charbroil uses the same head sculpt as the Rise of Cobra Aqua-Viper Officer and more recently as the Figure Subscription Service Dice, but with the red hair he looks like a totally different guy. The G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club showed his unmasked head on their Facebook page. It’s also mirrored below.
