This is not normally something we would report on but as we await news on the SDCC 2013 G.I.Joe Exclusives, this will keep us busy. Looks like the Star Wars Black Series rumors were true, Boba Fett with Han Solo In Carbonite will be a Hasbro SDCC 2013 Exclusive Star Wars Figure. This was strongly hinted at Toy Fair 2013 during the Star Wars Hasbro presentation. The special-edition set is priced at $44.99 and will be sold at the Hasbro Booth at the San Diego Comic Con July 18-21.

Our question to you....Do you want a 6-inch G.I.Joe Black Series?

Sound off and respond to our fan poll after the jump.... [Read More]

We have just updated our G.I.Joe database with new images of the FSS Big Boa. "Bring me the toughest contender G.I. Joe has to offer - I'll show them what real fighting is!"

Big Boa 2013 - 25th / Modern Cobra Figures G.I. Joe 25th Anniversary / Modern

Big Boa has a face that looks like it has been beaten with the proverbial ugly stick. It's no wonder that he wears a unique protective helmet at all times. However, he also benefits from all the cybernetic gadgets attached to it. Thermal heat sensors show him the weak spots on his opponent's body, while amplified hearing lets him know just how quickly their hearts are pumping, something that can be attributed to the fear of standing in his presence. Anyone that challenges him usually ends up eating the dirt at his feet.

G.I. JOE
------
Hasbro shipped only a limited supply of the recent wave 3 assortment of G.I. JOE: Retaliation figure assortment that included Lady Jaye and Joe Colton. We had enough stock of complete sets to fill pre-orders only. We do have singles of some figures left. Hasbro is expected to put forth a revision of this case at future date that will re-release Joe Colton, Lady Jaye, and also introduce some other figures they've shown such as Night-Viper, Blind Master, and Cobra Combat Ninja. Watch the pre-order page for details.

For the remainder of May we're offering another free comic book promotion! Any order that contains G.I. JOE product will receive a free, random G.I. JOE comic book for each $25 of merchandise total ordered. Order at least $25, receive one comic book, order at least $50, receive two free books, etc. To qualify, your order must contain at least one GI JOE-branded item.

Remember that each month we are offering a few sets of the G.I. JOE Collector's Club subscription figures. These generally sell out within a week or two so check the site regularly around the end of the month if you are interested in these figures. They are listed in the 25th Anniversary carded figures section.

APEX DISPLAY CASE
-----------------
At this time we have available some sub-optimal APEX display cases discounted to about 50% of their normal retail price. The cover piece for the case is very slightly clouded. The defect is not severe and is not even noticeable in photography, however the discerning collector would know the difference if comparing them side by side. We are offering these at a deep discount for collectors who would like to get the case very inexpensively and who do not mind this minor issue. All sales are final.

"I started with a 30th Crimson H.I.S.S. v5.
1) base coat of flat tan or khaki
2) put some 'sharp' pieces of tape in random places
3) wrapped it with a mesh laundry bag
4) light coat of satin nutmeg
5) more 'sharp' pieces of tape in random places
6) light coat of flat olive drab
*opened it and thought wow that looks like a snake or lizard's mouth
7) factory stickers
8) long and painful process of adding the raised camouflage..."

F.L.A.K. Cannon Night Force 2013 - 25th / Modern Vehicles G.I. Joe 25th Anniversary / Modern

Steeler comes from a blue-collar middle-class background. He put himself through college on an ROTC scholarship and by working as a heavy equipment operator. He entered Armor School at Fort Knox, graduating at the top of his class.He is familiar and proficient with all NATO and Warsaw Pact AFVs (Armored Fighting Vehicles).Among the first to join the G.I. Joe Team, he has taken part in countless operations against the Cobra organization. While he is recognized as a tough and dedicated soldier, his frequent clashes with authority figures, especially superior officers, make him quite a handful. Coming from a background in which you proved your mettle through physical contests, he frequently challenges team members to tests of strength and stamina.

Chuckles Night Force 2013 - 25th / Modern G.I. Joe Figures G.I. Joe 25th Anniversary / Modern

Chuckles has been undercover for so long that nobody is really sure who he actually works for. He got his start in "hole-and-corner" operations at Southeastern Insurance Group in Fort Lauderdale where he still feels he owes his main allegiance. He is a man's man and every CID boy's favorite companion. It's not just because of his jocularity or his perseverance in the field, but because he is so conscientious about keeping up his "cover" that he'll volunteer for mission that nobody else wants to go on.

We have just uploaded new High-Res images of the Night Force Lady Jaye to the HISS Tank.com database. "Lady Jaye brings a touch of class to the Night Force unit, along with a tough no-nonsense attitude, remarkable skills with edged weapons, and a left-hook with no mercy!"

Lady Jaye Night Force 2013 - 25th / Modern G.I. Joe Figures G.I. Joe 25th Anniversary / Modern

Lady Jaye is one of the G.I. Joe team's premiere Covert Ops agents. While not a tenacious physical force like some of her Night Force teammates, she can hold her own in a fight, even when only armed with her trademark custom javelin launcher. More often then not, it is her Ranger training that comes into play, tracking enemy agents back to their lairs and lying in wait until she gathers the intelligence she needs. While undercover, she can flawlessly impersonate the social behavior and languages of other cultures, a necessity when hunting down international conspirators and not knowing what country she will be in next.

Grunt FSS 2013 - 25th / Modern G.I. Joe Figures G.I. Joe 25th Anniversary / Modern

Grunt believes that constant training and education are the keys to staying one step ahead of the enemy, and he constantly qualifies with the latest infantry weapons and equipment. To that end, on rare occasions he will strap on a personal winged glider backpack for silent attacks into enemy territory, though he prefers to keep boots in the mud.

Robert Atkins updated his deviantart gallery today with upcoming Snake Eyes sketches from IDW's GI Joe Black Label series. More info:

IDW is doing limited edition books that collect the GI JOE run I was a part of. The books are high dollar collector items and with each book I'm doing an original art sketch plate.

There are two levels of books. A black label book will have a single character inked sketch. The Blue label books will have two characters with full marker colored sketches. I'm working through the black label sketches first. I have a number of Snake Eyes that I'm required to do (which I'm always happy to draw SE) So that's cool.

There are different versions of Snake Eyes drawn, including:

• Robert Atkins' design
• Resolute Snake Eyes
• Snake Eyes V1
• Snake Eyes V2(classic)

For your viewing convenience, we've mirrored the images so read on to check them out!... [Read More]

Mike Vogel; Vice President of Development for Hasbro Studios spoke with Collider regarding his experience working at The Hub (rumored to rebrand as Hub Network) and what’s coming ahead.

Mr. Vogal was a name behind G. I. Joe: Renegades. He pioneered the teams behind G. I. Joe Renegades, Transformers: Prime and My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. However, Renegades is no more. But “Is G. I. Joe gone for good from the tele?” it’s a question we all have as Joe fans.

At the interview when asked “Have you also tried to develop a KREO animated series?” Mike Vogel said…

“I think that does sound really interesting, and I can neither confirm or deny that there’s a presentation somewhere that shows exactly how we would do that, and that it would be super fun and exciting. But, I can say that it’s really funny.”

With the recent success of Kre-O, we may see G. I. Joe return as an Animated Series based on Kre-O. Only time can tell… but we may not have to wait that long. Mr. Vogal said they have big plans for this year’s San Diego Comic Con 2013.

“Oh, I think we started thinking about what we could show in San Diego about a month after we left San Diego last year. We definitely have some very cool plans for Comic-Con. We have some big news on some of our big brands coming out. I can’t say what it is because I don’t want to spoil the surprise. Comic-Con is a lot of fun for us. Hasbro has been upping their game significantly in the past few years, now that we have so much great entertainment, in addition to our great toys, and I think this year is going to be no different. We’re going to have some really, really cool stuff for the fans.”

Keep your fingers crossed people, San Diego Comic Con is not that far away.... [Read More]

For those of you that enjoy Larry Hama's work on G.I.Joe, you should also know that he has a new book called "The Stranger". This new book is all about Vampires with chapters about the Teutoburg Forest Massacre, the Siege of Stalingrad, the Spanish Civil War, the Third Crusade, and much more. If you ask Larry himself he will tell you "not a single glittering vampire to be found in this book". Anyway check out the information below.

The Stranger: Part One: Larry Hama: Amazon.com: Kindle Store


The Stranger is an epic three-part story that spans the history of vampires, from the slaying of their King in ancient Jerusalem, to their current day presence, skulking in the seedy alleys and byways of New York City.

Jeff Burns, ruthless vampire killer, has stumbled onto something huge. In the course of dispatching a particularly loathsome vampire named The Creep, Jeff intercepts an email exchange that refers to an ancient box, recently unearthed and shipped the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Creep's orders were clear: steal the box.

Drawn in to Jeff's quest to discover the mystery of the box is Eamon Diaz, a young film student who inadvertently kills his first vampire one night walking home with remnants of his broken baseball bat.

Revenge, lust, and a growing body count follow Jeff and Eamon as they make their way closer to the truth—and nearer and nearer the ultimate source of evil.... [Read More]

NJCC Summer Show Date August 18th 2013 Dealer Registration Now Open!

Are you ready to join the Dark Side? the next New Jersey Collectors Con will be held on August 18th, 2013 – You herd it right, we are having a Summer Event. The theme of this show will be “World At War” featuring a very cool marketing campaign of unlikely Enemies & Allies with all of the Toy Brands we have come to love as collectors.




We will also be reaching out to more Star Wars and Marvel Collectors at the Next NJCC summer event, while keeping our already awesome Transformers and G.I.Joe focus. This will be reflected in both extra door prizes, above and beyond what we normally do, including THREE Mega Door Prizes. Over the next few weeks we will be announcing our special events and our guest list. We plan on making this the best NJCC to date, and hope this will make up for the lack of a Fall show that will be moving to Tampa Bay, Florida. We are not quite ready to reveal details of that event yet, but when we do we hope you will join is for the “Ride”.

When and Where Is The Next New Jersey Collectors Con?

Holiday Inn Cherry Hill – New Jersey
