Over on the G.I. Joe Collectors Club message board, the folks from Fun Pub have posted about the shipping date for FSS 6.0 as well as expectations for FSS 7.0.
It’s a quick little blurb but should give some idea on the timing of these releases. If you’re a member of the Club check out the post, or you can view the mirrored image below.

The G.I. Joe Collectors Club has posted another image this morning with three more samples of FSS 6.0 figures from China. In this image we get our first look at the actual samples for W.O.R.M.S. Officer, Rampart, and Not Ghost Rider.
The more I see the Phantom X-19 pilot the more I like his build, though in this image he looks a little bit short and squat. Rampart remains one of my favorite looking figures in the sixth FSS, with this image outlining some of the nice highlights of his modern parts, though his missing head scarf looks a lot more noticeable than I thought it might given the early digital mock ups.
W.O.R.M.S. Officer is pretty lackluster, to be honest. I mean basing him off General Mayhem makes sense, leveraging the officer’s jacket, but the restrictive articulation and the difference between torso and arms just ends up looking ridiculous. Not a big fan of the overall look here.
Keep watching the G.I. Joe Collectors Club Facebook Page for more updates, the latest image is mirrored below.
In the rush of HasCon news, the G.I. Joe Collectors Club dropped a little reveal showcasing what looks to be their first in hand samples of upcoming Figure Subscription Service 6.0 figures.
Dojo, Sub Zero and Skip were shown on the G.I. Joe Collectors Club Facebook page and can be seen below:
Things look like they’re coming together fairly nicely. Skip’s build isn’t bad, though I’m not wild about that webgear riding up on his torso. Sub Zero is decent enough, though that parka tooling is pretty restrictive. I understand the desire to give him his hood, but there are times when it’s okay to modernize someone’s look to improve functionality.
Dojo looks pretty good in the background there, too, and I think he’ll look pretty awesome alongside TJBang from the 2014 Convention set.
Good to see things are coming along.
Wow! Once again, huge props to Chris McLeod from The Full Force who has come through HUGE upon returning from his whirlwind trip to JoeCon. He was kind enough to send along video reviews for all of the rest of the JoeCon exclusives and they have all been posted to the GeneralsJoes YouTube Channel.
I couldn’t make JoeCon again this year, a fact that I was quite disappointed about, and Chris came through in a massive way. Huge thanks to Chris from The Full Force and check out the embedded videos below.
