The JBL folks are on the case at the GIJCC roundtable with some information about Club offerings for 2009 and 2010!
- 2010 Club Incentive Membership figure is… BIG LOB. Quick, someone cancel my membership! :shifty:
- Lots of O-Ring tooling has been destroyed. 🙁
- Adventure Team vs. Dr. Venom set is STILL COMING! Anniversary construction
- Adventure Team FANG coming in the set.
- Mutant Flytrap for Dr. Venom
- Spy Troops Battle Blitz recolored as Adventure Team vehicle
- If sales warrant it, MANTIS sub for final Adventure Team vehicle
- COBRA “MANTA” Squad is potentially coming, o-ring tooling. 4-figures divided into 2 sets, but no real other details
That’s it for the moment…pictures to come soon, hopefully.

Another busy household day today, so coverage is a bit late, but I’ll be making up for it tonight, hopefully… 😉 For now, just wanted to report that JoeBattleLines has posted some more VERY nice images from the Hasbro display floor. These new images include:
- COBRA Commander (Mail Away)
- Duke (in Training Gear from the Rise of COBRA)
- Shadow Tracker (new COBRA Native American jungle expert and tracker…BTW, he’s made from 100% pure kickass.)
- Snow Job (or mainly his weapons)
- Storm Shadow (Jungle Assault)
- Zartan (Desert Battle)
I’ll be collecting a bunch more information from the Hasbro round table today and getting something comprehensive up, probably late tonight. Another late night!

With more thanks than I can fit into a single post, MadMac41, Fred, Gary, and the guys at JBL have worked tirelessly today to keep me in the loop, deal with my harassing phone calls, and even put me on speaker phone so I could listen in on the Hasbro 2010 panel. A better group of guys isn’t out there on the web today. Of course, the guys at The Terror Drome are giving them a run for their money with their awesome “Cover it Love” coverage of all of the roundtables, and hundreds of awesome images that they’ve posted throughout the day as well. For this post, I’ve utilized images from both of those mentioned sources, with permission.
This is the first year since 2002 that I haven’t made the trip to the Con, and while nothing can possibly take the place of hitting the bar with my buddies after a day filled with Joe goodies, at least this time around I can live vicariously through the great pictures and information gathered by fans onsite who give up their valuable time to keep the rest of us informed. Check out all the gory details after the “jump”.

This is one of the cooler parts of JoeCon, really sorry I missed it this year. Watch hundreds of 12″ Crimson Guards go plummeting from the rooftop with their parachutes! Check it out on KansasCity.com.

Still waiting patiently for pictures from the Sales and Display floor, but to whet our appetite, It’s All True.net has posted a few images. The one of most notability is Beachhead:
