Recently Sideshow Collectibles has let out exciting news for their 12" GI Joe line! 1st up, we get a sneak peek at the Crimson Guard, and more information on it:

Q: When can we expect a 12-inch Cobra Crimson Guard?
A: You’ll see the Crimson Guard appear in a diorama first, but the CG will appear in the 12-inch line at some point in the future.

We also get more elaboration on the upcoming Firefly, and news on the new Snake Eyes figure as well as Snow Job!

Q: Will G.I. Joe 12-inch Snake Eyes get a re-release with an improved, beefier body? The Prometheus body that was used gave Snake Eyes a skinnier frame and some people changed their minds from buying this figure because of that, including myself.
A: Yes, and no. We are developing a new Snake Eyes 12-inch figure, but we haven’t yet decided which version of the Pro body he’ll have. We like that Snake Eyes is a bit less robust than Duke or Flint but agree that he could use a little bit more bulk this time around. This is NOT a re-release of the original Snake Eyes figure – it is an all-new version.

Q: In your latest Q&A about G.I. Joe, you said you are looking into making a Firefly head sculpt with the classic camo pattern as a THRID head. What is the second head that is already being included? There is no info about a second head on his product page. And thank-you, thank-you, thank-you for responding to fans’ responses and even looking at including an unplanned head. Not every company would even bother with looking into it. While I’m very hopeful that the camo head will be included, I’m just glad to hear you looked into it. Thank you!

A: We are indeed working on the camo version of the head. We have paint samples, and we’re fine tuning them to best match the camo colors of the clothing before we reveal it. We made an error when we called it a ‘third’ head – it is in fact the second head – apologies for the confusion, and the original Q&A has been updated!

Q: In the Sideshow Collectibles Catalog Volume 11 that I received with the Sideshow Spooktacular 2009 kit, there’s a nice little write-up on Larry Hama on page 251 regarding G.I. Joe. The page features the covers of a few of the MARVEL Joe Real American Hero series as well as three of the original file cards. Maybe I’m reading into this too much, but the three file cards are Cobra Commander (made into a figure), Storm Shadow (made into a figure), and Snow Job. Is this a potential clue to an upcoming Joe figure? Again, I’m probably reading into it too much, but you guys have been known to leave little clues and teasers. I just found it intriguing that Snow Job would have been one of the file cards featured rather than Snake Eyes or Duke…

A: Good eyes! We are working on designs for our Snow Job figure, but he’s not going to be revealed anytime in the immediate future.

Could the all new Snake Eyes be based on the classic, original V1 commando version?
