“Club Sub” FAQ page posted at GIJoeClub.com

Posted on by

It seems that the folks at the G.I. Joe Collector’s Club didn’t take the entire weekend off for Thanksgiving!  The beginnings of the “Club Sub” (aka “Figure Subscription Service”) FAQ page has now been posted.   Check it out:

Collector’s Club Figure Subscription Service FAQ

There’s not a lot of new details here– more discussion of how the ordering system is still being developed, how the Club Sub can’t be purchased w/o the Collector’s Club paid membership, etc but it is the beginnings of something that was promised a while back.  It does appear that subscribers will be able to choose from paying in one lump sum or in three installments.

Check out pics of all of the offered figures below:

The final “Club Sub” reveal is Big Boa

Posted on by

Big Boa has  been revealed as the 12th figure in the G.I. Joe Collector’s Club Figure Subscription Service!

bigboafweb

So this is it– the full reveal of the 12 figures in the sub.  It’s certainly an interesting mix spanning incarnations of Joe from Extreme to Spy Troops to A Real American Hero.

No information of pricing or when the subscription period begins.   Until that time, as always I’ll be keeping my eyes on the official Figure Subscription Service page over at GIJoeClub.com.  (Although they’ve been dropping more information on their Facebook page than on their site.)

Here’s a gallery of ALL of the offerings thus far.  As of now the mysterious “13th incentive figure” will NOT be revealed until he or she arrives on subscribers doorsteps.  That means it could be anyone from “Arctic Attack Sure Fire” to Cobra ninja Slice to a Pursuit of Cobra update of Ice Cream Soldier.

Cover Girl is the latest “Club Sub” reveal!

Posted on by

The Collector’s Club has revealed the 11th figure in their Figure Subscription Service and it is Peoria’s home town girl – Cover Girl!

covergirl2web

(Personally, I’m still hoping for a glimpse of Big Boa!)  As far as Cover Girl is concerned, I don’t think anyone is surprised by this figure construction.  The Club seemingly wanted to do Cover Girl in the 2011 Convention set and instead produced Sparta.  Change the hair color slightly, toss on a coat over the torso and you’ve turned Sparta into Cover Girl.  General Hawk even mocked this figure up using Photoshop in his review of the set!  It’s not the most inspired piece they’ve revealed thus far– which just leaves Big Boa and the bonus figure left.

No information of pricing or when the subscription period begins.   Until that time, I’ll be keeping my eyes on the official Figure Subscription Service page over at GIJoeClub.com.

Sure Fire is latest reveal from the “Club Sub”

Posted on by
surefirefweb

Sure Fire is latest reveal in the Collector’s Club Figure Subscription Service!

Based heavily on the 2002 v2 version, he’s the latest in a long string of reveals from the Club.  (It also looks like he’s got the same vest as the Renegades version of Law. )  Personally I hope his green is a bit more subdued in person as this one is almost bordering on neon.  It very well could be the lighting but it’s pretty garish right now.  That being said, I do prefer the v2 coloring over that of the original.  It fits more with the varied look of the Joe team with uniforms consisting of Hawaiian shirts and sports jerseys.  Sharp-eyed fans will note that this new version now sports a beard whereas the original v2 was clean-shaven.  I’m still not entirely sold on this subscription service yet; this figure pushes me slightly more in the “going to take the plunge” category but not very far.

As always, no pricing has yet been announced; fans will have to keep their eyes peeled on Figure Subscription Service page of GIJoeClub.com for details.

TNT is next “Club Sub” figure!

Posted on by

It seems the Collector’s Club is dipping back into the International Pool again with the latest Club Sub reveal: TNT.

tntfweb

 

Originally from Argentina, he’s listed as a Desactivador De Bombas over on YoJoe.  Now, I’ll be honest– this figure isn’t on my “Ooooh! Gotta Buy That!” list.  I’m not a collector of the international figures but there are plenty of new era collectors who are— as evidenced by the convention set sales in Kansas City.  Regardless, this Blowtorch repaint is the latest reveal in a varied line-up of figures.

I’m holding out hope for Big Boa in the near future.

Here’s a gallery of the offerings thus far.

Barrel Roll revealed and a web URL for the “Club Sub” at GIJoeClub.com!

Posted on by

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!

barrelrollfweb

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!

Posted on by

The Collector’s Club has revealed another figure from the 2011/2012 subscription service– the blind fighting ninja Jinx!

jinxfweb

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

Posted on by

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.

Grunt w/ Glider is the latest subscription figure reveal from the Collector’s Club!

Posted on by

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.

Note: This Subscription Service is an additional option to your Club Membership. Keep watching this website for more of our exclusive figure updates!
