JBL Reviews the FSS Quarrel action figure!
Fear not, Joe fan! You’ve not stepped through a rift that’s transported you back in time nearly three years! Rather, the JBL admin has decided to whittle down his massive backlog of reviews and delved back into the first series of the subscription service to review FSS Quarrel!
Two years. That’s the time difference between the first and last photos shot for this review. In that time no less than 2 successive waves have hit and been reviewed. It’s the problem with stockpiling photos with all the obsessiveness of a digital horder. It all leads to a massive stockpile of product that has been shot, watermarked, but never reviewed and posted. (Heck, there’s still last year’s Joe Con set to get through!)
However, enough ranting from the admin. FSS Quarrel first dropped back in early 2013 as part of the first series of the G.I. Joe Collector’s Club Figure Subscription Service. Based on the classic 1983 Action Force character, this marked Quarrel’s first appearance in the “modern era” of G.I. Joe figure construction.
Was it worth the wait? Is she a solid addition to any Joe collection? Do she and Duke use the same hair dye? Only two of this questions will be answered but to find out which two, head on over and check out the review of the FSS Quarrel figure in the G.I. Joe Collector’s Club Review Index!
With all of the Joe Con 2016 reveals over the past few days, there’s been plenty for G.I. Joe fans to talk about. New convention figures are coming, Hasbro will be showing “something” at the con, and there are changes coming to the Club as all memberships now end on December 31, 2016.
So, with all of that going on, the Club posted a new FAQ for this year’s convention that seems to indicate that last year’s “unavoidable price increases” for the souvenirs are now the new norm.
However, first here’s the full FAQ: Continue reading

G.I. Joe FSS 4 reviews have begun!
Subscribers to the G.I. Joe Collector’s Club Figure Subscription Service 4.0 had a nice surprise just over a week ago as the first shipments began to arrive! After a long dry spell, Joe fans finally had some new troops to add to the ranks.
Once again, I’m joined by visiting professor of “Joe-ology” Chris Chung from JoeSightings.com as we break down the first two figures of G.I. Joe FSS 4: Law & Order and Nunchuk. It’s 1987 meets 1992 or Rawhides meets Ninja Force as these two figures go under the review lights!
Are these two worth adding to your collection? Did they live up to the anticipation since signup for G.I. Joe FSS 4? Does Deadpool make yet another cameo in a review? (Seriously– do you even have to ask?)
To find out the answers to these questions, check out the reviews over at the G.I. Joe Collector’s Club Review Index! Afterwards, feel free to drop your own thoughts in the comments below.
