Among many other things…
Quite awhile ago, we had the unique opportunity to interview a couple of the guys from the Hot Toys Podcast, and while it took us a little while to get this posted (apologies Jim and Eamon) with G.I. Joe: Retaliation Roadblock on the precipice of release, it seems apt to get this out there now.
Along with talking with those fine folks, we cover all of the G.I. Joe news and information, and even touch on the big “NO JOES in 2014” topic that seems to be rearing it’s ugly head over the past week.
As always, hit up Podbean or check out the embedded player below, and show notes are after the jump.

Yeah, the headline is corny, deal with it.
As promised, the G.I. Joe Collectors Club revealed their latest 2014 G.I. Joe Convention Exclusive today, and it’s none other than Zombie Hunter TJBang!
I suspected, once some colors were revealed, that this figure might appear in a very classically themed uniform, and it looks like that suspicion is right on the money! I know there have been folks questioning why the Club is apparently combining Ninja Force with E.C.O. Force, and I think we’ll probably get some answers with the Convention comic this year. Regardless, for those 90s lovers like myself this is really awesome.
TJBang now joins the Discount Store Storm Shadow on the Ninja Force roster, and one might wonder if others are close behind. Dice is on the other side of the fence…will we see some other key members in future Figure Subscription Services?
Regardless, check out GIJoeCon.com and the image mirrored below.

They didn’t announce it would be coming today, but here’s a nice surprise! The G.I. Joe Collectors Club has debuted another figure from the 2014 Convention boxed set, and this time it’s the E.C.O. Force Leader, Flint! Sporting a rocking new head sculpt and new helmet, this figure looks pretty spectacular. I love the green and yellow paint scheme, and using the Resolute shotgun shells gauntlet for him is pretty inspired.
The integration of the 30th Anniversary parts and the Retaliation torso is an awesome move. Love the base figure here, it’s really, really nice looking.
Parts breakdown is:
Head – New
Torso – Retaliation Cobra Trooper
Arms – Ultimate Cobra Commander
Legs – 30th Anniversary Airtight
Helmet – A new sculpt, which according to Boss Fight Studios (the designers of it) is a “hybrid” of Flint’s and Ozone’s.
I love the shade of green… excellent, excellent work right here. Check out the full details at GIJoeCon.com.

True to their word, the G.I. Joe Collectors Club has revealed their latest 2014 G.I. Joe Convention exclusive, and it is the Steel Brigade Commander! As folks have suspected, it is based on the concept case version of the Gold Head Steel Brigade figure.
While the head looks a little bit more yellow than gold in the image, I would suspect the final version ends up being more gold than what we see here. Regardless, it’s good to see another figure, and considering this is now two figures with no new tooling, I suspect things will really start ramping up with the next few reveals.
Check out GIJoeCon.com and see the image mirrored below.
Also take a peek at the comparison image below, with the Concept Case version and the Photoshop mock up of the convention version.

As reported today on the G.I. Joe Convention Twitter account, expect another exciting convention figure reveal today from the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club:
So it sounds like we’re due for a reveal on the G.I. Joe side today. Will it be a member of the E.C.O. Force or one of the Zombie Hunters? Whichever one it is, I’m looking forward to seeing it. Keep watching GIJoeCon.com for the reveal!
