The G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club website for the upcoming JoeCon in Kansas City has been hacked! Nefarious COBRA agents have apparently taken over GIJoeCon.com and converted it to COBRA Con!
EDIT- Apparently Dataframe and Dial Tone got things back on track, but COBRA won’t let anyone forget what they did!
We knew the 12″ Crimson Guard was a para-drop figure this year at the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Convention in Kansas City, but I don’t think any of us knew how bad ass he was going to look. This is one fantastic looking figure. GIJoeCon.com has posted a look at the figure here. I have mirrored two of the images below, but there are a lot more at the source.
Jeff reports that Amazon.com has started an offer for a free exclusive comic with the purchase of $25 worth of G.I. Joe product from their online store. One look at the comic proves that it was the comic originally intended to be released with the Scuba Duke/Lamprey comic pack, and it could be a very neat read and a peek at something that didn’t end up getting published.
Written by Larry Hama, this continuity-vague book just focuses on telling a fun story the same way that many of the other Comic Pack stories did, while exploring these characters in a slightly different way. To see some details about this offer click here. The comic listing itself is here.
The features are as follows:
Introducing an all-new G.I. JOE™ adventure – inspired by the classic 1980s stories, and with a fresh, contemporary twist!
The legendary Larry Hama is back with a never-before-published story featuring some of your favorite characters.
Whether you’re a fan from way back, or just discovering the thrill of G.I. JOE vs. COBRA™, this adventure will keep you on the edge of your seat!
