The following information comes via email from the G.I. Joe Collectors Club!
Hello all!
We have now taken the next step in getting the store fully online. Since you are getting this email, that means your account is in good standing and you don’t need to do anything with your membership until you get further instructions from the new store.
What we do need is for you to spread the word that anyone whose membership has lapsed and wants to get back in the club starting with the May issue, needs to join by this Friday April 20th. They can do this from any of the regular links at GIJoeClub.com or by clicking here. Anyone starting now will receive the free figures offered for 2013.
Please tell them to go to the store, put the membership in their basket and check out. If they had a log-in it is still valid and they can use the retrieval function to get their password. They will be eligible to order the extra Footloose or Man of Evil figures from this year’s runs when they are put online.
If you want multiple memberships, remember that you can only have one membership per email (same for any Transformers Club memberships). Every email address can only have one membership attached to it whether it is a Joe or TF membership.
I know you are all wanting to order the exclusive figures as well, but there are still a couple of known bugs we have to get worked out in order for us to add products to the new store. Currently, the store can only be used to join the Club. We are shooting for the first week in May to have these items online.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thanks for your support!

Wow, this is a very pleasant surprise. The G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club notified us all last week that the Footloose figures were now shipping, and HissTank user Blot has received his! How did someone in England receive their figure before everyone in the US? I have no idea, but the best news is that Blot took some nice pictures of Footloose, and I’ll be damned. He’s got the ball joint wrists!
I don’t believe we’ve seen those in any previous image. An awesome addition by the Club and the figure is looking even cooler now. Check out a couple of mirrored images below, take a look at HissTank.com for the rest, but most importantly keep your eye on those mailboxes! Footloose incoming!

This might not be quite so exciting now that these figures are being found at Meijer’s, but for those of us without one of those particular stores nearby, this is still a cool thing. The card art may be non-descript, but I still dig seeing these new figures contained in their little plastic prisons.
Check out the full image on GIJoeClub.com, and I’ve mirrored a piece of it below.

It’s the golden episode of the web’s longest running G.I. Joe podcast, What’s on Joe Mind! Join us as we celebrate the occasion with former G.I. Joe comic writer Brandon Jerwa, with Marvel Comics Director of Communications Arune Singh, and featuring some very surprising (and most welcome) call-in congratulations!
The first 30 seconds of the show is about the most geeked-out moment I have ever experienced in the history of G.I. Joe collecting. It’s a “can’t miss” experience!
For G.I. Joe fans, you’re going to want to hear about Brandon Jerwa’s new project “Shooters” that he is working on with Eric Trautman and artist Steve Lieber. It’s a tight, emotional, military-themed graphic novel that I haven’t been able to put down! Hear all about it on the show.
As always, hit up our Podbean Page, or check it out via the embedded player below. As always the full blown show notes are after the jump.

Well isn’t this a fine Friday morning surprise?
An email received from the G.I. Joe Collectors Club reveals that they have started shipping their membership exclusive figures for 2012! For us 3 3/4″ Real American Hero fans, that means Footloose should be in hand within the next few weeks! Woo hoo!
The letter also provides some instructions for renewing memberships within the new Club online store system. Check out the full email below!
Here are the latest updates from the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club:
SURPRISE! This week we started mailing the FREE membership figures for 2012! We were able to get these manufactured much earlier this year, so off they go to you! It will take several weeks for them to reach all of the membership, so please be patient. If you don’t receive your figure by the end of May, please let us know.
In your April issue of the Club Magazine, you will find a letter that offers: credit card fraud counseling; instructions on how to place a credit alert on your accounts; and a free one-year subscription to a Credit Monitoring and Identity Theft Recovery Service that we have purchased on your behalf.
If you have received any evidence of fraud on your credit cards, please call and make a report with the 800 number listed in the letter for the recovery services.
If you desire to take advantage of the Credit Monitoring and Identity Theft Recovery Service, your letter contains an individually assigned certificate number that will allow you to activate the service. Do not share this certificate number with anyone as it is a one-time use certificate. In addition, you will need to activate your service by June 15, 2012. This service will last for 12 months once you activate it. Again, we apologize for any issues this problem has caused our membership.
Please note that your Club Magazine will be approximately 2 weeks later than normal as we wanted to give you time to check your mailing addresses in the new Club Store before we used it for the first mailing. You should receive your issue by May 4th. Please contact us after that date if you have not received your magazine.
Next week we will have the memberships back in the store. If you need to renew, all you have to do is put a credit card on file before your billing date (see My Account when you log in). The system will bill your renewal on that date. If you expire, you will need to go to the store, select the membership of your choice and check out. Then you will start again with the next mailing.
Finally, we are still working on getting all of our software and process back to normal. We hope to have registration available for G.I. Joe Con soon. We will send out an email when this is online.
Thanks for your support!

Further cementing the whole Oktober Guard Convention 2012 theme, the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club has revealed a piece of art from their convention comic over on their Facebook page. The artist has not been revealed, but the penciled work is clearly Daina from the aforementioned Oktober Guard. Looks very nice!
Botcon will be capturing most of Fun Publications’ attention over the next few weeks, but soon enough the road will be paved for Joe Con in New Orleans, and I can’t wait for things to get rolling! Check out the mirrored image below.
Don’t forget to keep your eyes on GIJoeCon.com for the latest in Convention 2012 intel!
