Discount Joes get new packages |
|
Jul 03, 2008 - 7:17 PM - by EagleEyeSteve
|
TNI and Hisstank have posted images of a new round of what are likely discount retailer bound single card GI Joe figures. The figures feature some new card art, and styled after the 25th/Modern single cards seen at retailers nationwide.
None of the images appear to show accessories, however this may change before the figures get released (which will likely be around October when stores start recieving their seasonal Christmas product)
The figures shown in this assortment are:
- Ace
- Dusty
- Kamakura
- Sand Viper
- Stalker
- Tele-Viper
These are the same figures currently available in "Valor vs Venom" style single cards at many of the same retailers that will get these.
Plus, several new/different figures
- Beachhead (while cardart for the VvV figure is shown, the figure is the RAH vintage mold Night Force Beachhead from 2004!)
- Slash
- Slice
- Ninja Warrior (the 2003 Iron Grenadier repaint from the Ninja Battles boxset)
You can view the entire assortment here

**This post copied to front page by J.D.**
Gentlemen,
Heres the deal.
I got projects on hold....till I can move these boats out of my workshop, as stated earlier.
7 months ago...this idea was started, weekly we were asked on progress...and those involved spent the time to see all aspects of it through to the end. They have been done since 6/21 and ready to ship...AS SOON AS PAID.
To those that have paid...THANK YOU. I hope you enjoy them.
To those who have not paid...these will stay on Hold for 2 weeks...till July 17th 12:00 midnight. After that time...if no contact has been made via PM, email or payment sent....these will in fact be going to other members who have already contacted me via PM asking "Are there any extra's? Can I still get one."
I am sorry that it has come to this. I do understand that Joe Con just happened...and some of you have cash tied up in that. Though...you have had 7 months to prepare for this. I didn't feel right in taking anyone's money up front...as you would of had to wait 7 months to see the product. At the same time...show some respect back. Don't expect me to wait 7 months for payment for something that we all put so much time into getting done.

TNI has updated their joecon coverage with the information from the Collectors Club roundtable. Wave 4 of DTC is being split into two waves of 4 figures each. The club has also included a Python Patrol Copperhead which is a repaint of the club figure. Also figures in the two waves will have small tweaks such Outback having a blackshirt and Munitia belt and cobra symbol being a different color. These figures are expected to be released during the third and fourth quarters. Also the club plans on doing a 3 3/4 adventure based off the 12 inch adventure team figures. There is also a chance that Dr. Venom will be released with the Adventure Team line. There are plans for a comic with the line.
Finally, next years club figure has been announced. It'll be a "Destro's Frogman" It is said it will fit in with the other figures from the MARS con set.
