3 3/4 "Vacation in the Shadows" Box Art is Up!

Postby ggpike » Mon Mar 08, 2010 11:11 pm

GIJCC just put up the box art for the 3 3/4" set "Vacation in the Shadows"

Art depicts the hunt for Flint. Looks pretty interesting . . . has a nice almost WWII feel to it. I'm really liking it.

Is that a vehicle behind them or some sort of bunker?

I was just going to ask about extras?
What does anybody know of bonus vehicles or figures?

Seriously? I'm not familiar with that item at all. If you're serious, do you have a link to pics for me?

Unless there was one with the Ultimate Endor Attack Battle Pack set.

Now that's a re-use of a non-G.I. Joe mold I can gladly get behind.

Wow . . . I was going to mention that it sort of looked like the Endor bunker in the background . . . but after looking at the pictures of the bunker there is no doubt that that is in fact what it is. Very interesting! Only thing is that the bunker is so iconically Star Wars, so I wonder what they would do to differentiate it and not make you think of Star Wars every time you see it. The only thing I can figure is that going along with the WWII look of the box art, maybe they're going for an old WWII bunker as the setting for the Red Shadows base or something.

That's what I was thinking.

Is the Interrogator about to step on a trip line? Did Flint set a trap?

Good catch. I missed that entirely.
