If you’ve been following G.I. Joe news recently, you’ve likely heard that the Loyal Subjects are reinventing their G.I. Joe vinyl figure brand in pretty exciting new ways. More on that in a bit…
For now, though, they’ve also produced a pretty hilarious video putting their Transformers and G.I. Joe vinyl figures together with pretty great results.
They have three episodes planned, with the first one now on YouTube. Check it out below, and keep watching LoyalSubjects.com for the latest info!
One very cool licensed item that was debuted last year were some great mini figures by the Loyal Subjects. Packaged in blind boxes these unique items had some great chase figures as well as a really cool and unique design aesthetic.
GeneralsJoes Twitter friend Matt Guzy from Awesome Toy Blog acquired a catalog from the Loyal Subjects at Toy Fair, and within was a listing for Series Two of their G.I. Joe items!
Characters like Roadblock, Beachhead, and Cobra Trooper are shown in the catalog, among others. Check out the mirrored image below and big thanks to Matt for the heads up. Follow him on Twitter for some great Toy Fair coverage.
This Saturday, March 23, 2013 from 5-8PM, BAIT will host an in-store event to celebrate the release of the GI Joe x The Loyal Subjects 3″ Mini Collectible Series and the GI Joe: Retaliation film.
Designed by Les Schettkoe, the GI Joe x The Loyal Subjects collection features articulated 3″ vinyl representations of classic characters like Cobra Commander, Destro, Duke, Snake Eyes, Zartan, Storm Shadow, Gung-Ho, Snow Job, and three mystery chase figures. The series is packaged in blind boxes that retail for $12.99 each.
Schettkoe will be in-store to help launch the figures, offering fans a chance to get their vinyls signed by the mind that created them.
This is a unique opportunity for G.I. Joe fans to interface with the artists who have created these excellent products and to get a first look at the Loyal Subjects G.I. Joe licensed offerings. BAIT is located in Diamond Bar, California (further details are in the attached image).
Thanks to the Loyal Subjects for passing this information along!
As folks know by now, my coverage of Toy Fair pretty much includes zipping down to New York City, covering the Hasbro event, then zipping back. I did spent a couple of extra fun days in the big city this year, but I still only covered the Hasbro offerings and then came back North.
Thankfully guys like Matt from the Awesome Toy Blog are there for the whole show digging up great G.I. Joe related nuggets! Matt grabbed some great pictures from the Loyal Subjects booth at Toy Fair, showing off some of their awesome classic G.I. Joe mini figures. Check it out at Awesome Toy Blog, and I’ve mirrored just a couple of the images below.
