I promise I will refrain from the Kevin Bacon jokes that I’ve been seeing a lot of since this figure was first announced… 🙂
I’ve never been a huge Footloose fan, in all honesty, though reading his filecard made me wonder why not. As we should all expect, Larry Hama was able to infuse so much damn character into someone in such a tiny written space, and Footloose is no exception. He really is a fascinating guy. I have read some complaints that this version of the character makes him a bit harder and “edgier” than folks would prefer, but I disagree. I think this figure is pretty great.
Nice and military, great articulation, an awesome head sculpt… and the price is right! Check out the full review below.

And this time it’s Stormavik!
Yet another great looking member of the Oktober Guard, the Club has shown that they are pulling out the stops for these figures. Stormavik has a new head sculpt and some nicely stacked up body mold, using the legs from Shadow Tracker and the arms from City Strike Destro. Wow. He’s definitely tweaked for a more modern update, and it looks pretty friggen great. The Pursuit of Cobra Duke webgear suits the figure exceptionally well, too.
Check out GIJoeCon.com for the lowdown and I’ve got the awesome image mirrored below. This set is looking better and better every day!

It’s the end of times! A G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club exclusive review on GeneralsJoes and it’s of the 12″ figure!
Truth be told, I thought both exclusives this year were pretty darn cool, and many fans agreed with me, including Twitter friend Chad Lawless who was extremely cool enough to do a review of this great looking figure for me.
Check out the review at my G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club section, and click the link directly below.
Great review by Chad! Meanwhile, you can expect a review of Footloose by yours truly within the next 24 hours!

Shame on me for not mentioning this sooner… I know there are a lot of devoted 12″ fans out there, and this year’s 12″ Convention Set looks like a potential winner! Marketed as a “Last Man Standing” set, it apparently comes with two figures and an “Adventure Team heavy weapons” theme. Loving the box art.
Keep checking GIJoeCon.com for the latest details, and I’ve also mirrored an image of the box art below.

Wow! I will admit I did not see this one coming, but I think they made a great choice! Using what mostly looks like Rise of Cobra Destro parts, the G.I. Joe Collectors Club has captured a great likeness of Colonel Brekhov, leader of the Oktober Guard!
Check it out at GIJoeCon.com or just take a peek at the mirrored image below.
