Sure, it’s late in the day but it’s still not too late to save on Cyber-Monday. Online retail giant Amazon.com has a deal that can fill the decks of many a USS Flagg out there!
If you’ve not pulled the trigger yet and picked up one for nostalgia’s sake, this might be the time to add to your Joe air wing now! This is about $13.00 LESS than the jet is currently priced at my local TRU.
C’mon— Captain Ace needs a new home!
It seems like you can’t swing a Fatal Furry without hitting something related the Figure Subscription Service these days. It’s pretty much the biggest news in the Joe fandom right now.
The folks at the Collector’s Club have unveiled card art for both Quarrel and the Nan0-Bat. Sure, it’s not the final “Club Sub” pricing but it’s something. The art is solid although it doesn’t quire appear to be up to Hasbro’s usual standards. However, fans of the FSS are pretty much existing on crumbs right now while the Club releases information one bit at a time.
Check out all of the released Club Sub images below.
It seems that the folks at the G.I. Joe Collector’s Club didn’t take the entire weekend off for Thanksgiving! The beginnings of the “Club Sub” (aka “Figure Subscription Service”) FAQ page has now been posted. Check it out:
Collector’s Club Figure Subscription Service FAQ
There’s not a lot of new details here– more discussion of how the ordering system is still being developed, how the Club Sub can’t be purchased w/o the Collector’s Club paid membership, etc but it is the beginnings of something that was promised a while back. It does appear that subscribers will be able to choose from paying in one lump sum or in three installments.

Launched as the “preview figures” for the film G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, this MARS trooper three pack has been lingering at e-tailers and retail shelves ever since. The set includes two troopers and one officer as well as some RoC-themed weaponry. It’s not the most dynamic set in the history of Joe but it has one thing going for it right now– this set is only $1.00! That’s right– for $1.00 you’ll get three figures to use for generic troops or custom fodder! Heck, you can even purchase multiples and toss a few in a local Toys For Tots donation box!

So, what are you waiting for? These figures aren’t going to get any cheaper!!
Thanks to GeneralsJoes for the heads up on this…well…BEAUTIFUL figure. Sideshow really knocked this one out of the park. Baroness is stunning in her 1:4 scale format. I’d go on more but anything else would be R rated.

Big Boa has been revealed as the 12th figure in the G.I. Joe Collector’s Club Figure Subscription Service!
So this is it– the full reveal of the 12 figures in the sub. It’s certainly an interesting mix spanning incarnations of Joe from Extreme to Spy Troops to A Real American Hero.
No information of pricing or when the subscription period begins. Until that time, as always I’ll be keeping my eyes on the official Figure Subscription Service page over at GIJoeClub.com. (Although they’ve been dropping more information on their Facebook page than on their site.)
Here’s a gallery of ALL of the offerings thus far. As of now the mysterious “13th incentive figure” will NOT be revealed until he or she arrives on subscribers doorsteps. That means it could be anyone from “Arctic Attack Sure Fire” to Cobra ninja Slice to a Pursuit of Cobra update of Ice Cream Soldier.
The Collector’s Club has revealed the 11th figure in their Figure Subscription Service and it is Peoria’s home town girl – Cover Girl!
(Personally, I’m still hoping for a glimpse of Big Boa!) As far as Cover Girl is concerned, I don’t think anyone is surprised by this figure construction. The Club seemingly wanted to do Cover Girl in the 2011 Convention set and instead produced Sparta. Change the hair color slightly, toss on a coat over the torso and you’ve turned Sparta into Cover Girl. General Hawk even mocked this figure up using Photoshop in his review of the set! It’s not the most inspired piece they’ve revealed thus far– which just leaves Big Boa and the bonus figure left.

Sure Fire is latest reveal in the Collector’s Club Figure Subscription Service!
Based heavily on the 2002 v2 version, he’s the latest in a long string of reveals from the Club. (It also looks like he’s got the same vest as the Renegades version of Law. ) Personally I hope his green is a bit more subdued in person as this one is almost bordering on neon. It very well could be the lighting but it’s pretty garish right now. That being said, I do prefer the v2 coloring over that of the original. It fits more with the varied look of the Joe team with uniforms consisting of Hawaiian shirts and sports jerseys. Sharp-eyed fans will note that this new version now sports a beard whereas the original v2 was clean-shaven. I’m still not entirely sold on this subscription service yet; this figure pushes me slightly more in the “going to take the plunge” category but not very far.
As always, no pricing has yet been announced; fans will have to keep their eyes peeled on Figure Subscription Service page of GIJoeClub.com for details.
Wow… talk about a sneak preview! The good folks at BigBadToyStore.com shocked fans a few weeks back with the preview of their Renegades and Dreadnoks seven packs! Not content to just let things go at that, BBTS recently shared some samples with ToyNewsI.com– OF ALL 14 FIGURES!!!
Check out the preview of BBTS Exclusive Renegades & Slaughter’s Maruaders @ TNI
WOW. Yeah, just WOW. I’m a fan of these sets already but this preview really pushed these to the “top of my list” in terms of anticipation. I’ve been enjoying the Collector’s Club previews of their subscription service but these two sets just blow me away in terms of character selection, price, and design. Plus, with BBTS’ combo pack of both the 7 packs and the 2 previously-released Resolute packs for only $
Run, don’t walk and pre-order these sets today!
