It’s a brand new year and the G.I. Joe Collector’s Club is ensuring that some fans will be starting 2014 with some brand-new Joes! That’s right, shipment #4 of the Figure Subscription Service is now shipping!
Now it’s become a big deal that some folks are discussing which figures are in the shipment as soon as they arrive. I can understand that some people want to be surprised while others want to know which of the figures they paid nearly $30.00 each for are arriving. I won’t sink to dragging this discussion down into the sewers by outright revealing who has arrived even though the internet is a conduit for information. However, if you find yourself staying up all night with your curiosity piqued and want to seek out the answer like some sort of nocturnal bird-of-prey, then scroll down a bit further for some images courtesy of the G.I. Joe Reference Guide Facebook page.

Okay, you’ve been warned. It’s Cesspool and Night Force Falcon!
Finally we’re getting to what I consider to be the real meat of FSS 2.0! When the list was first announced at Joe Con 2014, these were two of the figures that convinced me to sign up, along with Dragonsky, Admiral Keel Haul, and Tollbooth. Early images of Falcon spotted on the web show that he is a straight-up repaint of the Slaughter’s Marauder’s version but now features the web gear of the 30th Anniversary Cobra Trooper. Cesspool utilizes the awesome 30th Anniversary Techno-Viper body and features an AMAZING new head sculpt from Boss Fight Studios. Personally, I can’t wait for these two beauties to arrive in my mailbox– most likely on Tuesday!
So, there you have it– the identities of the next two figures. Just like the cartoon said: “And now you know…”
Check back later this coming week for two brand-new reviews of the latest FSS figures added to the Collector’s Club Review Index here at JBL!
