Take this for what it’s worth, but the G.I. Joe Collectors Club (who is typically first with Toy Fair info during the presentation) has posted a “Hasbro Toy Fair 2014” thread on their new message boards.
This indicates (to me) that there will be some kind of G.I. Joe product to be shown and spoken about on the site. Check it out right here. Do we think the G.I. Joe Club would show that if there weren’t G.I. Joe items to discuss? I wouldn’t think so, but…
Curiouser and curiouser…

Collectors have been pretty consistent with their praise for the ECO Force Flint and Ozone reveals from the upcoming 2014 Convention Set, and now the Collectors Club has finished off the ECO Force trifecta with none other than Clean Sweep!
They’re pulling an “Ozone” and only giving us a masked image at the moment, but I’ll be darned if that’s not looking pretty friggen sweet all on its own! He’s got a great new mask (and apparently a new dome underneath it) and I am loving his weapon allotment. Very interesting choices and they fit his MOS pretty nicely. The computer-integrated case is an awesome touch.

Okay, I’ll admit it… I fell for it.
Based on the G.I. Joe Collectors Club Tweet from earlier today I thought we’d be seeing a Toxo Zombie today, but turns out instead of a full figure reveal, we just got a helmet removal.
Hop on over to GIJoeCon.com to witness some full blown Ozone beard power! It’s impressive.

Fans have been wondering exactly how the G.I. Joe Collectors Club was going to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of G.I. Joe with their 2014 Convention Exclusive Joe Colton.
As it turns out, it’s less of an homage to his 50 year birthday, and more a direct homage to his first appearance in the Marvel Comics way back when. As an unabashed Real American Hero and Marvel Comics fan, I have zero problems with this.
I can see some of the 12″ fans finding some issues with it, but I am digging it. I would imagine they had to retool the head to fit the neck ball a bit better, and they made some changes to the coat as well, by the looks of things.
As a reminder, this figure will be available with a display stand and photo backdrop in the 12″ Convention Set. The G.I. Joe Collectors Club has mentioned that he will be available separately as well, though not with the same display stand and backdrop. Check out GIJoeCon.com for the full details, and the image is mirrored below (along with the comic reference sent out by GIJoeCon on Twitter).

…and yes, it’s Version 2!
Over on GIJoeCon.com the G.I. Joe Collectors Club has revealed the long-awaited Toxo-Viper from the 2014 G.I. Joe Convention set, and it… is…(to borrow a friend’s phrase) GLORIOUS.
Featuring a brand new removable helmet and some fantastic Pursuit of Cobra/30th Anniversary parts, this figure is simply spectacular. Great colors, awesome helmet design… Toxo perfection. He’ll look awesome next to the FSS Cesspool, but now we need some Sludge Vipers!
Check out GIJoeCon.com for the details and the image is mirrored below.
