I plowed through the first four of these figures pretty quickly, but the last two have kind of been in limbo due to availability (or lack thereof). Big thanks to friend of the site Loc, who lent me his Storm Shadow so I was able to get this review done during my “Road to Retaliation” event!
I can’t believe the road is ending this week.
Check out the review on my 30th Anniversary page, or just take a peek at the direct link below. One thing that became perfectly clear during the review of this figure… I need a new vintage T’Ginzu! Yellow-city.

Well, we loved it so much we did it again!
In celebration of episode #52, we offered listeners a chance to call in and talk with us directly about their burning G.I. Joe issues, and the response was incredible. We all had a blast doing it, so we figured to celebrate our diamond anniversary of episode #75 we’d do it again. I think we’re all glad we did. It was a raucus, “from the hip” whirlwind where we eschewed news and current events and just leaped into talking with YOU, our listeners. Joined by good friend Erik Arana, who provides some great insight into our hobby and the toy industry in general.
Because there wasn’t much in the way of news or intel, the show notes are just below. You can find the episode on Podbean, or via the embedded players below.

Yesterday I covered the first figure in the most recent shipment of the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club Figure Subscription Service. Today, I’m reviewing the second one. Combined these two figures have been far and away the best two figures released in the FSS thus far, and reviewing them both was a blast.
Great figures, great packaging, great accessories. Lots to love here, and I’m really excited that the Collectors’ Club invested the time and money to bring these to us, and I really can’t wait to see and hear more about FSS Series two! I’m trying to avoid spoilers here for folks who still don’t want to know, so just click the link below to get to the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club Review Page:

Now these figures have been in mailboxes for like 2 weeks… has it been long enough that I can avoid spoilers? I know there are a number of folks who are drastically avoiding the discovery of which figures are shipping when, and I’m trying to honor those requests.
I kind of have to talk about them eventually, though, right?

A couple of folks had questions about certain elements of the two reviews I mentioned above, so I took a couple extra pictures to show case some things. People were inquiring about the look of Breaker using Duke’s body, so I whipped something up really quickly. I did the best I could without cutting off his belt. I also did a comparison image with recent Cobra Troopers that folks had been asking for.
Check out the two reviews to see the images at the links below, or the images are also mirrored in this story:
