So, just as a piss poor capper to what was a pretty cool week in regards to G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club product, Brian Savage sent an email along saying that unfortunately it does not look likely that the Adventure Team figures will be shipped stateside in time for the Convention.
Buuuuummer.
I was looking forward to these figures… looking forward to them quite a bit more than I thought I might be. Ah well, we can spread out the Joe product a bit I guess. Until then, I’ll just continue to fawn over the awesome images.
No, in spite of what folks might think, this is not the official Collectors’ Club cheerleading site… but they have been posting some cool stuff lately, so gotta give them their props when they deserve it!
GIJoeClub.com has posted an awesome mini-gallery of the Adventure Team figures and vehicles, showing each figure in pretty decent detail, some very cool group shots, but a disturbing lack of Dr. Venom coolness. Show him some love!
Check out the gallery right here.
Not content to merely post images of the new figures in the 2010 G.I. Joe Collectors Convention set, the Club has also posted a terrific video to their Facebook page featuring very nice 360 degree glimpses at the figures in the set. I’m loving these things more and more every time I see them. Even Flint, which I was kind of questioning with the random, somewhat splotchy camouflage pattern is now looking a lot better. Great work on this one, for sure. Check out the mirrored video below…
Be sure to Become a Fan of them on Facebook to see more great updates, and I’ll see you in Providence!

And wow, do these look gorgeous. Absolutely phenomenal. If someone told me I’d be falling all over myself about 3 3/4″ versions of the Adventure Team, I would have called them nuts, but here they are, and they really look awesome.
The head sculpts, the chosen parts… Dr. Venom! Hell yeah. This is exactly the type of stuff I love to see from the GIJCC. Can’t wait to pick ’em up in Rhode Island in April. Check out the awesome high res images mirrored below, and click the following links to pre-order yours today!
The most important thing about these figures is that they just look fun. Tons of gear, some great colors, great play value, and once again… DR. FREAKING VENOM. Sweet.
