Yesterday I covered the first figure in the most recent shipment of the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club Figure Subscription Service. Today, I’m reviewing the second one. Combined these two figures have been far and away the best two figures released in the FSS thus far, and reviewing them both was a blast.
Great figures, great packaging, great accessories. Lots to love here, and I’m really excited that the Collectors’ Club invested the time and money to bring these to us, and I really can’t wait to see and hear more about FSS Series two! I’m trying to avoid spoilers here for folks who still don’t want to know, so just click the link below to get to the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club Review Page:

Now these figures have been in mailboxes for like 2 weeks… has it been long enough that I can avoid spoilers? I know there are a number of folks who are drastically avoiding the discovery of which figures are shipping when, and I’m trying to honor those requests.
I kind of have to talk about them eventually, though, right?

It’s a G.I. Joe flood! We’re getting pretty steady G.I. Joe: Retaliation product at retail, the Kre-O figures seem to be taking Toys “R” Us by storm, and now the G.I. Joe Collectors Club has sent out the third series of their Figure Subscription Service figures!
A few folks have reported receiving them already, and I will refrain from spoiling the contents here. I’m hoping to get reviews done in time for the “Road to Retaliation” event over the next 30 days, so prepare yourselves.

Well there’s a nice surprise for your Monday afternoon!
The G.I. Joe Collectors Club has revealed their 2013 Membership Incentive figure. We already knew Iceberg was coming, but we hadn’t seen the actual figure yet. Now we have! The new head sculpt looks great, and could potentially work for a guy like Big Ben as well.
I believe the torso and fur collar is from Snow Serpent, with arms from the 30th Anniversary Airtight. The Spirit legs are a great idea with that fuzzy cuff around the boots, though the figure looks a little bit top heavy. Almost seems like he could have used a belt or something.
Probably the highlight of the figure, though, is the inclusion of many of the accessories only available with the canceled Rise of Cobra Arctic Duke. He’s got the wrapped machine gun, the snowboard, and what looks like the backpack as well. A pity they couldn’t find a way to get that elusive jacket included, too. Perhaps somewhere down the line we’ll see that one.
Check out the figure over at GIJoeClub.com, and I’ve also mirrored him below. If you want this figure, you must JOIN THE GIJOE CLUB by March 16th!!

Well, look at that! You wouldn’t necessarily think so, but a slight change in hair color makes all the difference in the world. It helps that this head has only been used with masked characters so far as well.
Yes, Charbroil uses the same head sculpt as the Rise of Cobra Aqua-Viper Officer and more recently as the Figure Subscription Service Dice, but with the red hair he looks like a totally different guy. The G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club showed his unmasked head on their Facebook page. It’s also mirrored below.
