For you unlucky souls throughout America without a local Dollar General store, if you have a “Christmas Tree Shop” nearby, you’re going to want to hit it up. Granted, I think Christmas Tree Shops are even more regional than the Dollar Generals are, but there are folks, specifically in New England, who have a Christmas Tree Shop, but no Dollar Generals.
Troy from the ToyVerse and Shogi from Joe Toon Archive both report that the Dollar General figures have been spotted there, and Shogi even sent along an image that you can see below. Do you have a local store? Check ChristmasTreeShop.com to see if there is a store in your area.

It was supposedly a close race between Big Boa and Cover Girl as to which carded image the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club would show first, and Big Boa won out. Turns out, though, that Cover Girl fans (like Gary Godsoe) wouldn’t have to wait too long.
Over on their Facebook page, the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club has posted their latest carded FSS image, and it is indeed the former model and now an armor operator… check out their Facebook page for the latest intel, and take a peek at the mirrored image below.

Not too long ago I posted about the excellent Acid Free Gallery G.I. Joe licensed prints, which had been available at NYCC, and then were available online in their store. Apparently they are kicking off another terrific project, this one by Rhys Cooper.
It looks like they have three Cobra prints in the hopper and the first one has been revealed in the form of The Baroness. It looks pretty amazing, and I’m officially excited to see the other two. Check out the image mirrored below, and keep your eyes on the Acid Free Gallery blog to see the other two and buy The Baroness on December 6th!
