The spring of our discontent with the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club continues…but things have gotta look up sometime soon, right? Just received the following email from Brian Savage at the Collectors’ Club:
“Hello,
It seems when it rains it pours. We just found out this morning that our printer has failed to mail you the March issue. This will be going out by Friday so they are incredibly late. If you don’t get yours by the end of the month, please let us know. We apoligize for the delay.
Brian”
So, those waiting for the March newsletter will have to wait a bit longer. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

As promised the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club has officially revealed the 2011 Membership Exclusive incentive figure, Dial Tone!
Where the infamous G.I. Joe Communications Officer has been given a recent sex change in the IDW and Resolute universes, the Collectors’ Club features him in his familiar 1986 glory, filling a major hole in the 25th Anniversary line up.
Utilizing the torso from the 25th Anniversary Buzzer, arms and legs from Sgt. Airborne, and a newly tooled head and communications backpack, Dial Tone looks ready to fill in that vacancy in your 1980’s display shelf. A great looking update, and a good path to start going down for the Collectors’ Club, I have a feeling this will draw new people in a big way. Click the thumbnail preview below to check out the entire image!
Also of note is the newly shaded image for the upcoming Adventure Team “Sea Adventurer”…judging by the shadow, he looks to be coming with a repainted “Sting Raider” from the Valor Vs. Venom and Rise of Cobra line. Very cool little tidbit! Check it all out at GIJoeClub.com!

I’ve heard a lot of folks ask if the membership fee for the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club is worth it, and while I strongly believe it is, other folks aren’t so sure. Well, here’s a chance to see if the magazine will help change your mind!
GIJoeClub.com has posted the latest issue of their magazine up for a free preview. Click the cover and see what all the fuss is about. Make sure you come back here and lavish praise for the Hunters and the Hunted. :shifty:
As an added bonus, the cover image features a sneak peek at the upcoming Adventure Team figures…or one of them at least. Looks like Wild Bill’s tooling is going to get some use with these figures. Check out the mirrored image below.

We all knew this one was coming, and here he is! Using the torso from the ’91 Snake Eyes and a whole lot of coolness… it’s The Interrogator!
Great figure choice, I can’t wait to see how they integrate it into the Cobra/Red Shadow mythology. I’m sure I don’t have to tell most of you how much of an Interrogator fanboy I am. Love it.
Check it out right here!
He’s slightly more battle ready, but is very faithful to the Interrogator look…the helmet is pretty interesting, too, definitely looks like new tooling. Wonder who’s under the mask…
