Howdy gang!
Some of us are shoveling snow off the driveway, some are hauling buckets of water out of the basement and some are bleary-eyed from watching the Olympics (I’m squarely in all 3 of these categories).
However, its time for this week’s offering! JBL member ‘Lt. Storm’ has shared his Jinx in all her red suited glory!
Take a minute and check it out!!!
Cobra Island – February 26, 2010 – Today, Cobra Commander has announced that Cobracon 2010 will be held at the Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence, Rhode Island from April 29th to May 2nd. Cobra wants to make sure that the fans of Cobra do not confuse this show with GIJoecon 2010, also being held in Providence, Rhode Island from April 29th to May 2nd. No, CobraCon will be FAR more exciting!!!
Unlike last year’s convention (apologies again for the unexpected exposure of mind control gas at the Saturday Night Dinner event), this year’s CobraCon promises a smooth and relatively danger free show, complete with a special appearance by Black Major and his trusty comrades, the Red Shadows. Along with special guests, art contests, an invasion of Hasbro’s headquarters, panels and seminars featuring Hasbro and other Cobra supporters, this year’s convention is THE show to attend!
So what are you waiting for! Just head on over to our convention site now and sign up for the Cobra event of a lifetime. NOW! Cobraaaaaaaaaaa! www.CobraCon.com. Be sure to click the page to see our latest CobraCon video!

The G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club have posted images of their fourth upcoming convention figure, the Red Shadows Trooper. You can view all the full-sized pics and the full press release here.
This week’s offering is from board member ‘Django’. He has taken something cool and ‘amped’ it up. Head on over and check out The Amp Suits!
After the lackluster performance of last year’s “Rise of Cobra” themed set, it seems that Hasbro is returning to an exclusive with a much more wide-spread appeal:
Sgt. Slaughter as 2010 Exclusive!
With the cross-over appeal to the wrestling fans as well as the long-time Joe fans, I’m forseeing a sell-out on this particular exclusive akin to the “Convention Destro” from a few years ago.
This weekend many Joe fans were hunkered down over their computers hitting “refresh” waiting for the latest news from the International Toy Fair in New York City. News and pics have started pouring in at the sites listed below:
ToyNewsI.com:
So, new figures– or at least redeco’ed “Pursuit of Cobra” figures with no more movie likenesses, new vehicles, Sigma 6 Mechs overhauled, Resolute 7 packs, and more. It seems that the line is in transition yet again but at least the Resolute figures are FINALLY seeing the light of day.
Operation HISS; the new CGI animated web series (and follow-up from the feature film), has launched. You can watch it here!
The G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club have posted images of their third upcoming convention figure, Flint. You can view all the full-sized pics and the full press release here.
With the impending ‘mushy day of love’ happening tomorrow (did all of you guys remember your special someone??), I thought I’d showcase a figure who is the definition of *heartthrob*.
Board member ‘Gundamben831’ utilized a quick and simple LBC technique to give us, “Bond, James Bond”
Can you imagine how difficult it would be for Duke, Flint, Shipwreck, Snake Eyes if Mr. Bond actually did join the ranks of G.I. Joe???
