Barrel Roll revealed and a web URL for the “Club Sub” at GIJoeClub.com!
Somehow this one slipped by me yesterday but the Collector’s Club has unveiled yet another figure in the forthcoming Collector’s Club subscription service– Valor. vs. Venom pilot/sniper Barrel Roll!
The Club seems to be borrowing heavily from his second deco in this figure design and it works. The inclusion of the G.I. Joe Resolute jet pack works well enough as Barrel Roll has frequently been seen with such contrivances. While I wish that we’d actually see some sort of new jet pack/glider being used for both Grunt and BR, the choices so far are still superior to the Air Assault glider that rears its ungainly head more often than it should.
The other big news is that the Collector’s Club has now launched a page for the Figure Subscription Service! Collecting all of the previously released images, the announcement on the Club’s Facebook page promises that final details of the subscription will be revealed on the web page soon.
Happy Friday – JINX revealed!
The Collector’s Club has revealed another figure from the 2011/2012 subscription service– the blind fighting ninja Jinx!
Very heavily inspired by the Valor vs. Venom version of the figure, Jinx also would appear to borrow parts from the cancelled City Strike Scarlett. Either way, she’s a pretty solid addition to the Subscription cast of characters.

Iron Klaw revealed and some collected Club subscription quotes
Facebook seems to be the preferred communication method of the G.I. Joe Collector’s Club these days with all of the reveals of the subscription figures. It’s also a place where the Club has been answering questions in “real time” with fans regarding the “still to be revealed” 6 month program. After mining through some of the official posts, I’ve been able to glean the following bits of additional information:
- The subscription sign up period will be longer than 2 weeks.
- A subscription FAQ will be posted once the sub is available.
- Figures produced use Hasbro sculpts and will be shipped on 25A style cards.
- You MUST be an Officer-level member of the Collector’s Club to be eligible for the subscription.
- The cost-per-figure is likely to be below $25.00 per item. (Due to low production numbers)
- The number of figures produced will be based upon the number of subscriptions sold.
- Figures will be shipped 2 at a time in special packaging. (Seen below)
Keep your eyes peeled on the Club’s Facebook Page, Twitter feed, and at GIJoeClub.com for more details.
Check out the gallery below for a pic of both Iron Klaw (Monday’s reveal) as well as the shipping package preview revealed yesterday!

Grunt w/ Glider is the latest subscription figure reveal from the Collector’s Club!
The folks at the Collector’s Club are at it again– with the latest figure to be revealed is GRUNT in desert colors.
Sure, he’s an homage to the old Falcon glider version and he’s using the Resolute glider pack but I much prefer this head over the previously 25A 3-pack version of Robert W. Graves.
Here’s the verbiage from the Club with more details:
Here is the next exciting figure preview from our upcoming monthly subscription service… G.I. Joe Infantry Trooper: GRUNT!
Two exclusive figures packaged individually on a 25th Anniversary style blister card will ship each month. These are only available through the GIJCC Subscription service from Fun Publications. As an added bonus, by signing up for the full six month subscription you will receive a FREE bonus 13th figure.

Two exclusive figures packaged individually on a 25th Anniversary style blister card will ship each month. These are only available through the GIJCC Subscription service from Fun Publications. As an added bonus, by signing up for the full six month subscription you will receive a FREE bonus 13th figure.
Note: This Subscription Service is an additional option to your Club Membership. Keep watching GIJoeClub.com for more exclusive figure reveals!
See, I’m now more conflicted about this subscription. I was all set to pass because of figures like Quarrel and the Nano-BAT which I have ZERO interest in. Topside was an interesting choice but not really the big “oomph” I felt the Club needed to showcase. Still, he’s a figure that I don’t have in the new style and so he raised my interest a bit. Dice takes things further in the “probably going to subscribe” department solely because I like the character– especially after his recent appearances in IDW’s Snake Eyes solo series.
I’ve mirrored the pic below for those who are interested. Between this reveal and the recent BBTS exclusive sets my Joe interest is on the rise again.

WOW– I’m seeing Slaughter’s Marauders, Renegades, and more Dreadnoks than you can shake a can of grape soda at! Could it be that the situation of the brand isn’t as dire as thought or are these some of the many rumored exclusives that will be hitting both the Collector’s Club subscription and BigBadToyStore.com later this year?
