I promise I will refrain from the Kevin Bacon jokes that I’ve been seeing a lot of since this figure was first announced… 🙂
I’ve never been a huge Footloose fan, in all honesty, though reading his filecard made me wonder why not. As we should all expect, Larry Hama was able to infuse so much damn character into someone in such a tiny written space, and Footloose is no exception. He really is a fascinating guy. I have read some complaints that this version of the character makes him a bit harder and “edgier” than folks would prefer, but I disagree. I think this figure is pretty great.
Nice and military, great articulation, an awesome head sculpt… and the price is right! Check out the full review below.

It’s the end of times! A G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club exclusive review on GeneralsJoes and it’s of the 12″ figure!
Truth be told, I thought both exclusives this year were pretty darn cool, and many fans agreed with me, including Twitter friend Chad Lawless who was extremely cool enough to do a review of this great looking figure for me.
Check out the review at my G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club section, and click the link directly below.
Great review by Chad! Meanwhile, you can expect a review of Footloose by yours truly within the next 24 hours!

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.

Good GRIEF.
As if the barrage of G.I. Joe: Retaliation character posters wasn’t enough, now via their GIJoeCon Twitter Account, the G.I. Joe Collectors Club has announced that they will begin revealing convention figures at noon (Pacific time) TODAY.
Hit up GIJoeCon.com and sit there for the next 40 minutes like I plan to and buckle your seat belts.
This sure as hell is looking like the summer of G.I. Joe!

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
