The Python Patrol finally have their commander… Major Bludd. The figure is based off the 2003 release that was part of the the Toys R Us Exclusive Python Patrol six figure set. This version will include a new head sculpt with a removable helmet. The paint scheme matches the rest of the Python Patrol and comes with some great accessories. Bludd looks really good and is geared up to lead the Python Patrol into battle.

It’s officially the final year for the G.I. Joe Convention, and the Collectors Club has released their convention brochure featuring the theme for the Con, as well as some of the figures we can expect.
And that theme is… Python Patrol vs. Slaughter’s Marauders!
Okay, up front, I gotta say… not a big fan of getting further exposure to both of those subteams, which have already been done to death in the past, however, based on the figure roster it seems like there’s a good chance we’ll see the TRU deco for the Python Patrol, which is my personal favorite.
Also, looks like we’ll be getting Sgt. Smasher, a potential repaint for Sgt. Slaughter (and a way to repurpose the SDCC exclusive maybe?) as well as Hardball. On the 12″ side, there looks to be a Green Beret Machine Gun Outpost.
Check out the full details in the Convention Brochure and stay tuned for more info still to come for the final JoeCon in Chattanooga!

Treadmark? Trademark? Skidmark? What’s in a name…
Honestly, when it comes to characters that require $35 modern updates, I wouldn’t put any of the above three on that list, but the Collectors Club revealed their version of the 1988 Desert Fox driver for FSS 7 regardless.
It’s a fine figure, pretty standard parts (though the sweater sleeves combined with the smooth torso is throwing me just a bit). Check it out at GIJoeClub.com or the mirrored image below.

Once again I’ve been a little delinquent on posting reveals for the G.I. Joe Collectors Club FSS 7, but they have just released an image for their fourth figure – Dreadnok KAOS.
While on the one hand, I’m really glad they’re dipping into the Concept Case unreleased Pursuit of COBRA items, on the other hand, this was probably my least favorite of those items. Show me some N.O.M.A.D., Clutch, or Raven’s Wing… or heck, some of those heavy Alley Viper or HISS Drivers, too!
Figure three was revealed a couple of days back, and I gotta be honest, this is one of the coolest figures I’ve seen in a long time. Yeah, I’m mark for most things General Hawk, but as a kid I LOVED the jet pack version of him (I wish it had been used more in the comic) and I think this is a pretty cool representation. The colors aren’t quite right, but the build is fantastic and I just love how the figure looks.
Figure #2… I’m kind of blah. For a nearly swan song Figure Subscription Service, the last thing we need is yet another COBRA Commander. And honestly, the Arctic Version was horribly overrated just because it was a canceled figure. If it had been released, I can almost guarantee nobody would have cared less.
That being said, I’m glad at least that the Club overhauled the parts with more modern choices so the articulation wasn’t quite so bad. It’s an okay figure, I guess, I just don’t get the hype.
If you like what you see, you can sign up for FSS 7 and go crazy!
