Making their worldwide debut at the G.I. Joe Convention in April, the 3 3/4″ Adventure Team is promising to make a splash with Joe collectors of every era. So far we haven’t heard a whole lot about the specifics of the sets, but there is finally some information to share, and even a look at all the card art for the terrific looking figures! Straight from GIJoeClub.com:
“The Adventure Team is almost here! The GIJCC will initially be offering THREE different 3 3/4-inch Adventure Team figure sets, all utilizing 25th Anniversary sculpts! Each figure comes packaged with a special accessory (vehicle, etc.) inside an “AT Mission Crate” package. Once you open the “AT Mission Crate”, you’ll find each figure on its own individual blister card. The first three sets are: ATAir Adventurer & Helicopter; AT Land Adventurer & 6-wheel ATV; Dr. “Venom” & AT Commander with giant man-eating plant. And now, we are thrilled to preview all FOUR Adventure Team backing cards! Click the thumbnail to see the full preview.”

For Joe fans who don’t check into the GI Joe Collectors’ Club forums, you can sometimes miss out on some nice little tidbits. For instance, this past weekend, Lanny revealed some awesome package art for the upcoming 3 3/4″ Adventure Team product that is supposed to debut at the Convention in Rhode Island this year.
That artwork is pretty damn stunning, I have to say.
Between the Red Shadows, Action Force, Dr. Venom, and the Adventure Team, this year’s Convention is gonna be a killer on the wallet, but I’m really looking forward to it. Check out the package art mirrored below as well.

Other tidbits from the GIJCC forums within the past few days… according to The Commander, the Red Torches will come with some different weapon assortments in the box! Sounds like they may not be straight-up flamethrower troopers. Also, the inclusion of Flint and Interrogator was most likely due to a dictation from Hasbro that they include a mainstream Joe and a mainstream Cobra in the Con set.
Some very cool behind the scenes info. Check it out, registration is free.

The hits keep on coming… Black Major was great. Red Torch looks very nice as well… Flint was hit or miss with many of the collector crowd, though I think he looks good as well. But what many folks were waiting for were the Red Shadows themselves…and it looks like the Club stepped up to the plate.
Hit up GIJoeCon.com to see the Red Shadows in their old school glory. These look NICE. Straight up Red Shadows, pulled from the Action Force comics. Absolutely love ’em. Here’s hoping we get some decent Action Force foils to go up against them.
Using mostly Red Star parts, with a very cool looking newly tooled head, this figure definitely captures the backbone of the Red Shadow faction. A very cool looking figure. Check it out here!

While everyone is focusing on what the next Convention figure will be, the G.I. Joe Club has brought our attention back to this year’s free membership incentive figure, Big Lob! First they report via an email from Brian Savage that figures should be arriving around April 15th. Also, if anyone wants extras, they can currently pre-order them from the Club Store.
Also, in more exciting news, the Club reports that Big Lob will make his comic book debut in the March, 2010 issue of the Club newsletter, starting his adventures in a series of one page spotlights. The comics are written by Jesse Wittenrich with pencils by Dan Khanna. Don’t miss out, Join the Club now.
I know there aren’t many folks who are excited about Big Lob, but I think it’s pretty neat. Hopefully if he captures some fan attention other characters like Pythona, Kwinn, or Billy might be down the pipeline…
