G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club posts 360 degree video of Footloose

Were folks wondering what the GIJCC Exclusive Footloose looked like from all angles? Wonder no more!

The Collectors’ Club has posted a great YouTube video featuring their 2012 exclusive incentive figure Footloose, and finally gives us a good look at all sides of this great looking figure, including the backpack.

Check it out embedded below.

If you think the figure is cool, hit up GIJoeClub.com to join the club before March 16th!

EDIT – The GIJCC has also sent along a nice close up image of the Club exclusive figure, too. Looking GREAT.

G.I. Joe Collector’s Club 2012 Incentive figure is… FOOTLOOSE!

Hell. Yes.

I know many fans were expecting to hear Footloose’s name with the announcement of the subscription figures, but while we’ve all eagerly waited for the official announcement, we’ve heard Footloose’s name a bit earlier than suspected.

No, he will not be one of the subscription figures, but he WILL be the 2012 Collectors Club incentive figure. And he looks freaking GREAT. Obviously using Claymore’s newly tooled head and helmet, with an awesome M4 Carbine, the familiar rocket launcher, and looking like he stepped out of 1985.

Fantastic. He’ll look awesome fighting alongside Dusty in anyone’s Sunbow display. Check out the mirrored image below, and of course hit up GIJoeClub.com for details on how to become a member by the deadline in 2012. I’m sure there will be fans lining up to do so.

GeneralsJoes Reviews GIJCC Exclusive 25th Anniversary Dial Tone

Justin — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 20:07:27 +0000

Yeah, I’m running way behind on reviews, though I am simultaneously working on Wave 5, the 2011 Convention Set, and this Dial Tone as well…once the floodgates open, they’ll start flying out!

I have updated my 25th Anniversary Reviews Page (and put it on the GIJCC Reviews Page as well) or you can check out the review itself at the link below:

GIJCC Exclusive Dial Tone

I know the reviews have been a bit sparse, but I am about 75% done with 6 or 7 different reviews, and they should all come pouring out within the next week or so.

Enjoy!

GeneralsJoes wraps up reviews of Pursuit of Cobra Wave 6

Justin — Tue, 03 May 2011 12:31:51 +0000

Folks might accuse me of saving the best for last with this batch of reviews… and they would be right. While the three reviews posted yesterday were largely ambivilent, that does not mean that this entire wave is muddled in mediocrity. In fact, one of the figures in this wave impressed me so much and so surprisingly, that I’ve found myself much more drawn to this character than I ever have been in the past.

Combine that with a pair of really impressive army builders and you have a wave that might have some duds, but also has some figures definitely worth adding to your Pursuit of Cobra collection. Check out my Pursuit of Cobra Review Page, or just click the links below to go there directly.
