The latest G.I. Joe Nocturnal Fire Convention Set reveals – Muskrat and Psyche Out

The Night Force love continues here at GeneralsJoes and over at GIJoeCon.com!  Following up their first Night Force reveal with Charbroil yesterday, we have Muskrat and Psyche Out unleashed on us today.  With some terrific parts, excellent call outs to the originals, and some awesome Toys “R” Us Exclusive accurate paint deco, both Muskrat and Psyche Out are awesome characters and look terrific in their new Night Force battle togs.

I grow more impressed every day…and if this stays like this, when I finally see Hit & Run?  Yeesh.  If I don’t post about it, call the authorities, I might just be passed out and convulsing next to my computer.

Check out the images at GIJoeCon.com and also mirrored below.

GeneralsJoes Reviews G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club 2012 Convention Set

…and it’s a doozy.  Five pages, over THREE HUNDRED images and enough words to make you mad.

Folks were asking for it, and now you’ve got it whether you like it or not.  Check out the review at the G.I. Joe Collectors Club Review page, or by clicking the link below.  Hope you have some time to kill.

G.I. Joe Convention 2012 Para Drop Cobra Stealth Paratrooper

I know my updates have been a bit sparse over the past 24 hours, but there hasn’t been a whole lot to discuss beyond the sales floor crush last night.  I did get a chance to participate in the 2012 Convention Para Drop this morning, and received my complete Cobra Stealth ParaTrooper.  Check out the images below.  This figure is a G.I. Joe: Retaliation Cobra Trooper in black with gold goggles and Cobra emblem.

The folks who grabbed these parachute figures on the ground didn’t get all of the accessories, but I believe the Club will supply you with the accessories if you approach them.

Check out the pictures below.

More images and details from the GI Joe Convention Boxed Set

Had a few moments of down time today, so figured I would take some of the trademark “Con Hotel” pictures of the 15 figure boxed set and talk a little bit more about the details of some of the figures within (good and bad).

First and foremost, we have the Iron Grenadiers.  By and large, I’m actually more impressed with the IG figures in person than I was online.  There is much less contrast between the brown legs and the rest of the figure than there was in the official images we saw from the Collectors’ Club.  The yellow is also a lot more subdued, looking a lot more gold here, which is a good thing.  I’m going to spend the rest of this post talking specifically figure by figure, so click the Read the Rest of the Story link below to see all of my initial, early thoughts.
