Thanks to Generals Joes for the heads up,and in their words LOOK AT HIM!
The G.I.Joe Collectors Club has released images for its 2011 Convention Set, Mission Brazil II, you can check out the set here.
The G.I.Joe Club has revealed their Members 2011 Club Sea Adventrue Exclusive. Done in 3 3/4 inch 25th sculpt style he is the 4th installment of the Adventure Team sets, and comes with the Sea Wolf II mini sub. Preorder for the Sea Adventurer will be made available in the near future.
There are those that say the Sea Adventurer has salt water in his veins. And given the number of times he’s faced injury during a dangerous under-water mission, they may just be right! From fearless encephalopods to fearsome cyber-sharks, the Sea Adventurer faces them all with a fierce determination on his face and an ancient sea-chanty on his tongue! No matter how the day is won, the other Adventure Team members can always count on the Sea Adventurer to take care of business and live to tell the tale!
There was actually some news from around the web this past week and we’ll do a quick recap for you.
The Hub announced that it will stream episodes of G.I.Joe Renegades on Hub World, this is good news for those of us who can’t or don’t get the Hub Network. *UPDATE* Renegades will debut on NOVEMBER 26th!
Sideshow Collectibles announced that the 1986 Viper is getting the 12 inch treatment, as well Destro is slated for late 2011 or early 2012 release, this is cool news considering the excellent job they’ve been doing on these.
jones-z-kitty has posted head shot turn around of Duke from Renegades on his DeviantArt page.

YO JOE!!
This becomes a challenge that grows with every passing week. We here at JoeBattleLines are truly fortunate to have so many gifted, talented people who share their imagination with the entire community. I personally try to comment on all (but I know that I’ve missed some)…..and as such, my own creativity has been enhanced.
I’ve wanted to showcase this week’s member, ‘AdrienVeidt’ for a while now. He is one of *THE MOST* creative imaginations I’ve encountered around the Joe community. And he doesn’t limit himself to strictly ‘Joe-themed’ custom work! Search out his work in the custom forum and you will be blown away at not only the designs, but the intricate backstory that he puts into everything he shares.
This week however, I’m going to send you to his current offering, the UA-RiotSNAKE
See y’all next week!!
Thats right I said answers with an “s” we got 2 answers to post. The rest of the sites answeres will be posted Tuesday. Head here to see what Hasbro has to say.
