JBL sponsor BigBadToyStore now has the wave 5 comic packs listed for pre-order.
Wave 5 will consist of Destro & Iron Grenadier, Cobra Commander Vs. Tripwire, and Lieutenant Falcon Vs. Nemesis Enforcer. (This last set seems to indicate the potental for “cartoon packs” in the line.) All three packs have a tentative arrival date of May 2008.
In what may be the most ambiguous announcement to date, Sideshow Toys unveiled their Super Bowl commercial which features a familar group of characters, glimpsed only briefly in shadow.
The ad promises a “big reveal” Februay 17 – 20 at SideshowCollectibles.com.
Sideshow Collectibles has an established reputation for producing highly-detailed 12″ scale figures.

The “tag-team” reviews are back!
Justin and Fred take a look at the newly-released 25th Anniversary comic packs #1, #14, #21, and #24! This time, however, they brought along a third in the form of Scott “madmac41” McAllister– as the “terrible trio” takes on comic pack #30 featuring the Dreadnoks!
It’s all in the newly created 25th Anniversary Comic Pack Index here at JBL!
“Oh Bludd, where art thou?”
Yesterday’s reveal of 2008 Wave 3 at both GIJoe.com and GIJoeClub.com made quite a splash in the online community. However, one figure was noticeably absent: Cobra’s resident “poet laureate”, Major Sebastian Bludd. According to Neal Hoffman, brand manager for GIJoe, the Australian poet was delayed until 2008 Wave 4 as Hasbro wanted him to be as perfect as possible.
So, fans of Bludd– don’t despair, Sebastian is coming. He’s just one month later than expected.
The “Operation: Rescue Doc” redemption form has been updated!
Ever since it was announced that Battle Points (and Flag Points) could be redeemed for additional Doc figures, fans have been looking for a way to indicate this on their order forms. Hasbro listened and a new redemption form has been posted at both GIJoe.com and GIJoeClub.com.
Hasbro also released the following statement regarding the redemption:
Keep your eyes peeled to GIJoe.Com tonight, as we expect 2008 Wave 3 pictures to be posted sometime this evening. Wave 3 features Major Bludd (not shown), Wild Bill, Viper, Spirit Iron Knife, Snake Eyes v.4, HISS Driver, and Duke w/ Jet Pack.
