Continuing on with the “running change” versions of those exclusive figures that came out last year is Duke! This Duke is a dark gray instead of the green that we got last year. If I didn’t know better, I’d almost think they were going for a Sunbow version of Breaker homage.

I remember like it was yesterday… the frantic post-G.I. Joe: Retaliation meltdown where everyone was convinced G.I. Joe was dead, the Dollar General exclusives were getting recalled, truly Deth of teh line!11! Here we are a little less than a year later with a good chunk of pretty cool product to look forward to. Included in that product is the “running change” versions of the aforementioned Dollar General figures. So far being spotted in places like Marshall’s and TJ Maxx, these figures promise to be a bit more available than the previous ones.

It’s a G.I. Joe flood! We’re getting pretty steady G.I. Joe: Retaliation product at retail, the Kre-O figures seem to be taking Toys “R” Us by storm, and now the G.I. Joe Collectors Club has sent out the third series of their Figure Subscription Service figures!
A few folks have reported receiving them already, and I will refrain from spoiling the contents here. I’m hoping to get reviews done in time for the “Road to Retaliation” event over the next 30 days, so prepare yourselves.

Well, this certainly comes as a surprise. Online retailers Big Bad Toy Store and Entertainment Earth have both opened up pre-orders for the now legendary “Dollar General” G.I. Joe figures. Based on the images shown, they appear to be the original decos and NOT the “running change” versions, but I’m thinking perhaps we shouldn’t take that as a guarantee.
Considering even the “running change” versions of these figures use the original figure on the package itself, I would not be at all surprised if that’s what is being offered here. I would hesitate to recommend people pre-order these blindly, but it might just be worth taking a chance, I don’t know. Check out the links below to stock up!

Keep in mind at BBTS, a few of the singles are already sold out, so going by the set may be your best bet. Pretty inexpensive, too! Check out my reviews for the original “Dollar General” G.I. Joe figures at the links below as well:
