Ordering will not resume until after Botcon 2015 which is scheduled for June 18 – 21, 2015. Image previews will also be suspended until ordering resumes.
Here’s the email from Brian Savage, explaining the situation: Continue reading
I never thought I’d own an Arctic Dr. Mindbender figure. More importantly, I never thought I’d want to own an Arctic Dr. Mindbender figure.
When this figure was announced at the 2014 G.I. Joe Collector’s Club, my reaction was less than enthusiastic. After all, who would want a figure based on a character’s appearance in just a few short scenes in the animated G.I. Joe: the Movie? Plus, hadn’t Mindbender already been released back in 2009? Was there really a need to update him? Apparently, there was and the result is surprisingly… well, you’ll have to read the review to find out this Joe fan’s opinion!

The G.I. Joe FSS 3 final shipment is on its way to fans and thanks to Alyosha of BrokenArrowToys.com we have some in-hand images of the final figures. Note: this includes the mysterious 13th figure which, after Joe Con 2015, may have been the worst-kept secret in history.
Seriously– if you don’t want the G.I. Joe FSS 3 final shipment spoiled stop reading now. If you’re like me, click below and find out after the jump!
G.I. Joe FSS 4 reveals continue with the camo-clad ninja – Nunchuck!
G.I. JOE NINJA COMMANDO: NUNCHUK
(Based on the 1992 G.I. Joe action figure!)
Includes: removable hood & harness, dart pouch with removable dart, swords x 2, dual sword sheath backpack, nunchuku sticks, sai x 2, and figure stand.
It’s another G.I. Joe FSS 4 reveal! Things are heating up with the Inferno BAT!

It’s a new week and a new preview for G.I. Joe FSS 4!
Based on the original 1987 version, feast your eyes on the classic MP duo of Law & Order:
G.I. JOE MILITARY POLICE & K-9: LAW & ORDER
(Based on the 1987 G.I. Joe action figure!)
Includes: removable helmet & vest, submachine gun, nightstick, K-9 with leash, pistol with suppressor, and figure stand.
Not a lot of surprises here… it’s the 30th anniversary Law body and head with the 25th Anniversary Wild Bill vest in the classic color scheme. The helmet bugs me as it’s not a great fit on the head and hasn’t been since the original release.

The Legion XIV Kickstarter can use your help with just SEVEN DAYS to go!
What is the Legion XIV Kickstarter project? Simple: it’s a fan-driven endeavor to add a bit more diversity to your 1:18 action figure shelf. The goal of the project is to secure funding to produce a highly articulated 1:18 series of modern army female action figures! That’s right– FEMALE action figures!
Think about it– new female action figures made from a combination of both ABS and PVC plastics to allow for maximum durability and flexibility! The Legion XIV Kickstarter’s modest funding goal of $21,000 will cover the production of the Basic Army, Basic Air Force, Night Ops, and Basic Blue trooper shown in the images below. (The last one is especially key— it’s essentially a FEMALE COBRA BLUESHIRT!!!) Remember how crazy fans went for the Night Stalkers from the Tanks for the Memories convention set back at Joe Con 2007?
Plus, have you SEEN the stretch goals? Let’s just say that Nick Fury and Baron Strucker have the chance to add some lovely ladies to their respective commands as well!
