Despite rumors to the contrary, the Operation: Rescue Doc promotion isn’t over yet. The following statement was issued today by Hasbro:
Dear G.I. JOE fans,
Thank you for your support at JoeCon. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting with you and are thrilled by the reaction we have seen to the upcoming line. We can’t wait to speak with more fans at Comic-Con next week.
We are also pleased to let fans know that after sending out the full allotment of DOC figures from the mail away promotion, we are producing a second run of figures to make sure that everyone who participates gets a figure. If you have not received your figure yet, please hold tight as the second shipment is due in September.
Best,
The G.I. JOE team

2008 Collector’s Club renewal figure reviewed!
A few years ago, pictures of a new style 3.75″ Cobra Commander surfaced on the web. Much more futuristic in nature, this was a sleek new take on the “most dangerous man alive”. Unfortunately, the 3.75″ line went on hiatus and the design was instead moved to the 8″ scale Sigma 6 line…. until now!
Check out the review of the 2008 Collector’s Club “Robot Rebellion” Cobra Commander figure at GeneralsJoes.com!
