The GI Joe Collectors' Club has passed along info and images of the GI Joe Figure Subscription Service packaging.

Hello!

UPDATE for those wondering about shipping for the FSS figures!

In order to protect your upcoming Figure Subscription Service orders, the G.I. Joe Collectors' Club has gone to great lengths to design a new extremely durable shipping container for your figures! It's not indestructible but it is the strongest figure shipping container ever created for 3 3/4" G.I. Joes!

Each box's "grain" runs 90 degrees perpendicular to the other box so it adds additional strength to the unit. In traditional shipping boxes when you press on the top you see the the wall start to compress down the "grain". With this construction, it can't depress both layers without a severe amount of pressure, as they run 90 degrees to each other.

MORE "FIGURE" REVEALS COMING SOON!

Best!

Pete

In addition, the Club sent us an image of all 7 GI Joe Subscription figures revealed so far. Check out the images after the jump!

Thanks to HISSTANK.com boards member Tom-1 for posting up his Pursuit of Cobra Crimson Guard Custom.

"I would like to present my Pursuit of Cobra (Or, if you prefer, 30th Anniversary) Crimson Guard. Each part of this figure you see - from the head to toe, even the guts and weapons - is cast is colored resin. I think it gives the figure a near-retail look, which is something I find especially important in regards to customs. I'm not so vain as to imply it resembles something you'd buy, but the closer it gets to compatibility the happier I am."

Today, Hasbro sent us a Press Release regarding this year’s event Hasbro Investor Day 2011.

However, we are not exactly sure what Hasbro is planning to do this time because last time they surprised us with many many many things.

Most likely we’ll hear news regarding Hasbro’s plans for the Holiday Season and the upcoming movies G. I. Joe: Retaliation, Stretch Armstrong, Battleship, Micronauts, Candy Land and Ouija.

Since Hasbro applied for the G. I. Joe: Retaliation Trademark very recently, we are sure to see the official logo for the first time.

I put my Night Force team in it, as if they are infiltrating a Cobra base through a underground sewer network. The base of the diorama is foamboard. The big pipe ends are a cardboard roll on which ductape was rolled, the rest is made of tube, drinking straws and some bbq sticks. The sewer water is plastic foil glued on a painted underground and finished with some hot glue.
