Yes, it took me for-freaking-ever, but here it is.
I try to get reviews done as quickly as humanly possible, but when there are so many figures, so many vehicles, so many pictures, and so many things to talk about, well… sometimes it takes a little while. When it comes to my o-ring babies I like to make sure and take as much time as it takes to do the review right.
Of course, if something is screwed up, let me know.
At any rate… over in the GIJCC Exclusives section, I have posted the review (finally!) for the 2010 Convention Set, “Vacation in the Shadows”. It’s a three-page behemoth with over a hundred images and more words than even I like to type. And I’m pretty damn long winded.
Check it out directly right here.

Last week we saw that Adventure Team figures are hitting mailboxes with a furver, and now the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club reports that the figure sets are in stock now at GIJoeClub.com/shop.
If you haven’t gotten ’em yet, what the hell are you waiting for?

Yeah, I’m not a big fan of Sideshow going the Red Ninja route this early in the production run. Sure, I’d much rather see Destro, Zartan, General Hawk, or any number of characters like that.
But dammit if the Red Ninja doesn’t still look pretty damn cool.
The full gallery has been posted online in a Sideshow Production Blog, and you can check it out right here. He’s got that great pointy-masked head sculpt, an amazing assortment of ninja weapons of killing, and dude! A funny hat!
Seriously, not a big fan of the Red Ninja character here, but I can’t talk down the figure itself. A work of art, as always. Just itching to see that talent directed at some more A-listers. Don’t forget you can pre-order this figure through the newsletter on June 10th. I also plan on staying right on top of it, too, so keep your eyes peeled here and I’ll tell you when the green light flashes.

Hasbro Toy Shop has just sent notification that they are featuring a brand new “Buy One Get One Free” promotion, and included in that promotion are several G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra products as well as a handful of Hall of Heroes items as well. Highlights (at least for me) are Accelerator Suit Duke, Reactive Armor Ripcord, “City Strike” Duke, “Paris Pursuit” Baroness, and both versions of the Cobra Para-Viper.
There are plenty of other items as well, you can see them all by clicking here. Even though many folks have grabbed this stuff already, some of these figures come with some fantastic weaponry, and the army builders are always in season…

If you were wondering why only images of the Land Adventurer and ATV were posted, wonder no longer. Gyre-Viper has lambasted HissTank with over 100 images of the Adventure Team figures, which are looking pretty damn awesome, by the way.
The Venus Flytrap is amazing! Not quite sure how I feel about Venom’s paint-a-tie, but I guess if the Club couldn’t get access to the SDCC Destro, there wasn’t much choice.
Check out the healthy sampling of mirrored images below to make up your own mind.
Don’t forget, you can still order these from GIJoeClub.com!

A few folks throughout the Joe online fandom are reporting getting confirmation of their Adventure Team sets…and as always seems to happen, Gyre Viper is first in line! He has posted a plethora of pictures for the Land Adventurer with the awesome Battle Blitz repaint on HissTank.com, and I’ve mirrored the images below.
My only complaint… how can the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club deny the fury of Battle Luge Guy?! Blesphemy…
I wasn’t a huge fan of the Battle Blitz in the Spy Troops days, but for some reason as an Adventure Team themed repaint, it’s pretty damn cool. And in all seriousness, the crates of weapons rock, even if it means ole BLG is left out in the cold.
Don’t forget, you can still order these from GIJoeClub.com!
