Pythona is revealed!!!
Today is the last day to sign up for a 2016 membership to the G.I. Joe Collector’s Club and the folks at Cattle Barron Drive have pulled out all of the stops in encouraging people to sign up by showing off a prototype for Pythona!
Not a digital mock-up. Not a render but a painted sample of Pythona!
Tis the season for news regarding the G.I. Joe Collector’s Club, it would seem.
A message posted earlier today on Facebook seems to add further credence to the rumors that Fun Publications is indeed closing out their tenure as the administrator of the G.I. Joe Collector’s Club. In the statement, the Club states that no new memberships will be accepted after March 16, 2016. If you’d like to receive the free membership incentive Pythona figure (and we know that you do), you have to have an active membership before 3/16/2016!
Here’s the full text from Fun Publications: Continue reading

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!
Joe Con 2016 isn’t until June but the G.I. Joe Collector’s Club has gone full-bore with the reveals this week. After today, only four more characters remain to be seen from this year’s set.
