And the hits just keep on coming! Hot on the heels of their stellar reveal of the 2012 Convention Exclusive Daina figure, we now have the reveal of the equally awesome Schrage!
With another awesome new headsculpt, nearly perfect parts choices, and a fantastic accessory compliment, we are getting yet another home run in what looks to potentially be a landmark convention set.
Another interesting thing to note… I’m not sure how many other fans have been wondering, but I was kind of curious if the Club would be dipping their toes into the “dead Oktober Guard” waters considering their comic book mythology seems to walk in line with the Marvel Universe. Daina is still alive in the Marvel mythology, but Schrage is not! This confirms that those characters are not off the table to the Club and reinforces the thoughts that we may just get a full compliment of modern era Oktober Guard characters.
UPDATE – When I say “full compliment” I’m talking about the original 6 members (Brekhov, Stormavik, Schrage, Daina, Horror Show & Dragonsky) and not really considering guys like Gorky, Misha, or even Wong. Looking at the reveal page for the Con exclusives you see 6 empty spots for the Russians, so that seems in line with their thinking as well.
BAD. ASS. Check out GIJoeCon.com for details, and take a peek at the mirrored image below. Absolute perfection.

And it’s a beauty as we’ve come to expect! Check out GIJoeCon.com to see for yourself…
Oktober Guard’s resident sniper… Daina!
It was somewhat of a no-brainer that she would be the first figure reveal with the box art and the comic page already shown, but seeing the figure in the “flesh” so to speak is always the best feeling! And this figure does NOT disappoint! Wow, a totally new head sculpt and new “tanker’s cowl”. That camouflage pattern is absolutely amazing.
Beautiful figure. Check out the mirrored image below.

The following information comes via email from the G.I. Joe Collectors Club!
Hello all!
We have now taken the next step in getting the store fully online. Since you are getting this email, that means your account is in good standing and you don’t need to do anything with your membership until you get further instructions from the new store.
What we do need is for you to spread the word that anyone whose membership has lapsed and wants to get back in the club starting with the May issue, needs to join by this Friday April 20th. They can do this from any of the regular links at GIJoeClub.com or by clicking here. Anyone starting now will receive the free figures offered for 2013.
Please tell them to go to the store, put the membership in their basket and check out. If they had a log-in it is still valid and they can use the retrieval function to get their password. They will be eligible to order the extra Footloose or Man of Evil figures from this year’s runs when they are put online.
If you want multiple memberships, remember that you can only have one membership per email (same for any Transformers Club memberships). Every email address can only have one membership attached to it whether it is a Joe or TF membership.
I know you are all wanting to order the exclusive figures as well, but there are still a couple of known bugs we have to get worked out in order for us to add products to the new store. Currently, the store can only be used to join the Club. We are shooting for the first week in May to have these items online.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thanks for your support!
Brian

Wow, this is a very pleasant surprise. The G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club notified us all last week that the Footloose figures were now shipping, and HissTank user Blot has received his! How did someone in England receive their figure before everyone in the US? I have no idea, but the best news is that Blot took some nice pictures of Footloose, and I’ll be damned. He’s got the ball joint wrists!
I don’t believe we’ve seen those in any previous image. An awesome addition by the Club and the figure is looking even cooler now. Check out a couple of mirrored images below, take a look at HissTank.com for the rest, but most importantly keep your eye on those mailboxes! Footloose incoming!

This might not be quite so exciting now that these figures are being found at Meijer’s, but for those of us without one of those particular stores nearby, this is still a cool thing. The card art may be non-descript, but I still dig seeing these new figures contained in their little plastic prisons.
Check out the full image on GIJoeClub.com, and I’ve mirrored a piece of it below.
