It’s G.I. Joe’s 50th Anniversary, and the G.I. Joe Collectors Club isn’t missing the chance to celebrate in style. We’ve seen details from the 4″ Real American Hero E.C.O. Force set already, and now we’ve started seeing some stuff from the 12″ big brother as well.
With head sculpts looking decidedly vintage, the Collectors Club has posted a few images from the 12″ set on GIJoeCon.com.
I’ve mirrored one image below, but definitely check GIJoeCon.com for the full details. Good stuff!

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.
