I don’t know about anyone else, but I’ve been eagerly anticipating this one. Beachhead is a guy that Sideshow can really go all out on without worry about fan repercussions. As long as he has his balaclava (which he does), and a basic military flak vest and camo, I really think Sideshow can pull out a lot of stops and pack him full of awesome military gear.
Well, here’s your chance to grab everyone’s (second?) favorite G.I. Joe Army Ranger. Click below to snag one before it’s too late! Loving the unmasked head…classic!
Sideshow Exclusive – Unmasked head and Beret!
Regular Release
Making their worldwide debut at the G.I. Joe Convention in April, the 3 3/4″ Adventure Team is promising to make a splash with Joe collectors of every era. So far we haven’t heard a whole lot about the specifics of the sets, but there is finally some information to share, and even a look at all the card art for the terrific looking figures! Straight from GIJoeClub.com:
“The Adventure Team is almost here! The GIJCC will initially be offering THREE different 3 3/4-inch Adventure Team figure sets, all utilizing 25th Anniversary sculpts! Each figure comes packaged with a special accessory (vehicle, etc.) inside an “AT Mission Crate” package. Once you open the “AT Mission Crate”, you’ll find each figure on its own individual blister card. The first three sets are: ATAir Adventurer & Helicopter; AT Land Adventurer & 6-wheel ATV; Dr. “Venom” & AT Commander with giant man-eating plant. And now, we are thrilled to preview all FOUR Adventure Team backing cards! Click the thumbnail to see the full preview.”

With the Sideshow Newsletter tonight, normally posted around 6:00 PACIFIC time (9:00 Eastern) you will be able to pre-order Beachhead…just a reminder…keep your eyes open, I’ll try and post the news as soon as it breaks!
Out of all of the Toy Fair news, the thing that caught many long time Joefan’s eye was the news of a Sgt. Slaughter SDCC exclusive. While Hasbro did tell us he would have all new tooling, we didn’t have anything else to go on…until now!
GeekWeek has posted some very nice images of the upcoming SDCC Sgt. Slaughter, and he’s looking pretty sharp. Included are both versions, the standard release (with the Mail Away deco) and the variant release, with the TTT driver deco. The main release will come with a championship belt! The more military variant release will come with a machine gun and pistol.
Very cool looking figure and an awesome tribute to ole Sarge. Check out the mirrored images below.

We all knew this one was coming, and here he is! Using the torso from the ’91 Snake Eyes and a whole lot of coolness… it’s The Interrogator!
Great figure choice, I can’t wait to see how they integrate it into the Cobra/Red Shadow mythology. I’m sure I don’t have to tell most of you how much of an Interrogator fanboy I am. Love it.
Check it out right here!
He’s slightly more battle ready, but is very faithful to the Interrogator look…the helmet is pretty interesting, too, definitely looks like new tooling. Wonder who’s under the mask…
