From the “off again, on again” department at Hasbro, the Wave 5 vehicles have been a source of question marks for Joe fans over the past several months. Solicited a long time ago, then cancelled, and now apparently reborn, the Stinger, Arctic HISS, and FLAK/CLAW continue to tease collectors. eBay seller dreamcab has now posted test shots for these vehicles on his eBay page, along with some apparent packaging samples.

The G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club is running a big time clearence sale trying to ship out some of their overstock and some of these prices are INSANE. We’re talking full assortments of Anniversary figures for $3.00 per figure, formerly rare GIJCC Exclusives for bargain basement prices… lots and LOTS of great deals to be had, especially for folks who are Officer level members!

The folks at JoeCanuck have revealed the first of their five (!!) exclusives for the upcoming Canadian Joe Con, happening May 2nd, 2009. The first figure shown is Chacal Noir, or the Black Jackal, and he is an Anniversary sculpt featuring a filecard written by G.I. Joe legend Larry Hama.

Some folks are starting to receive their latest Collectors’ Club newsletters for the month of April…but unfortunately there is no additional information on the 2009 Convention Exclusive figures within. 🙁
However, not all news is bad news. According to GGPIKE of the Coil Club, the newsletter does have a very nice (though apparently somewhat small) picture spread of the upcoming Attack on COBRA Island 7-Packs with pictures of the figures and all of the gear they will be coming with! Unfortunately, no pictures are available, but with help from George, I can describe what each figure looks to come equipped with:

Popular Asian auction site TaoBao.com has posted an auction and picture for a mysterious themed repaint of the Crimson Twin Tomax action figure. The figure is painted to resemble the 2002 Convention “Crimson Strike Team“. Check out the auction here.
Considering Hasbro’s recent stance during the Q & A sessions in regards to vintage-themed repaints, it remains dubious as to whether or not this item will actually be released, or whether it was conceived and didn’t make the “cut” before the movie items start propagating.
Hasbro has indicated that vintage characters may be worked into the movie line in the movie “style” and considering this bears no resemblance to any kind of perceived movie style, I strongly doubt we’ll see this particular version of Tomax released at retail any time soon, though it’s an interesting item, nonetheless.
Thanks as usual to cmdrinchief of the Coil Club for the heads up.
