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!
Showcasing a figure which promises to be an early favorite among the fans, the GIJoe Club website has posted an image of the carded G.I. Joe Trooper from the G.I. Joe: Retaliation toyline. This is a fantastic looking figure and once again forces me to rethink my “G.I. Joe shouldn’t have generic troops” mindset. Between this and the Steel Brigade, I’m amassing (or will soon amass) a large number of the faceless and the nameless.

Don’t forget you can see even more detail on this great looking figure over at CardedHeroes.com.
IDW superstar Robert Atkins comes back to the show to talk about his time at Roll Out Roll Call 3, and we have a terrific conversation about the recent crackdown on 3rd Party vendors and artist’s alley at Botcon. Great to talk to someone directly impacted by those events!
We also cover the latest news and intel going on in the G.I. Joe world, and Beachhead Mike actually makes it through the entire episode without ralphing. It’s an Easter miracle! Listen to the episode at our Podbean page, or hit up the embedded player below. Show notes are after the jump.
Another day, another carded image posted from the upcoming G.I. Joe: Retaliation toyline. The GIJoeClub website has been posting them on a regular basis, and this time they put up the awesome looking Red Ninja.
Using a lot of Storm Shadow tooling, this figure makes for a great classic homage or a boost to your Cobra ninja forces no matter which era you collect. Check out a small piece of the image below, or hit up GIJoeClub.com for the full shot.

The carded figure reveals continue, today it’s the wave 1 single pack Roadblock! The first thing you’ll notice is that his left hand is open… Unlike the three-pack version I reviewed as an early sample, this version of Roadblock only has the Battle Kata play feature permanently embedded in one hand, not both. That is some consolation, I suppose!
There is also a massive shoulder brace which I’m not certain we’ve seen in clear shots before, so that’s all good. And hey, with Roadblock you can almost pretend the packaging has unique artwork to represent the character inside!
Almost.
