G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary Dusty Photo Shoot
Dusty loves the desert. The blistering heat during the day, the freezing cold at night, snakes, scorpions, sheet lightning, dust storms, and gritty sand – none of these things bother dusty. That’s because, to him, the desert is his home – every hot and sandy bit of it. He and Bazooka race against time to stop Firefly from launching a large-scale incendiary attack, tracking the explosives expert across the desert.

GI Joe 50th Anniversary 2015 Sets Sighted At Toys R Us
Yo joe! It’s been a while since we’ve had any GI Joe toys to hunt for at retail but that’s about to change! Joebros has spotted the 2015 GI Joe 50th Anniversary sets at a Toys R Us in Los Angeles, California. More info:
Found the 2-packs ($12.99), Silent Strike ($59.99) and Desert Dual ($49.99) in CA. The store I found them at only received ONE case of each. The 2-packs are 8 to a case (2 of each, except Gung-Ho/Shadow Guard and Blowtorch/Croc Master are 1 per), Silent Strike is 2 per and Desert Dual is 3 per
There’s also been recent sightings in Texas, so hopefully it won’t be too much longer before these arrive at all Toys R Us stores. Happy hunting!
EDIT: It turns out Ramielschild made the 1st sighting in Texas. Have you found these new Joes yet? Post your sightings in our GI Joe sightings forums! Like to snap photos of your Joes? Post your GI Joe 50th Anniversary 2015 photos here!
Modern Era Project New Sculpt II By Phoenix Customs
Since it’s been a minute since we’ve posted one of the awesome customs shared on the Hisstank.com Customs Forums, we thought we’d come out of the gate swinging with the latest offerings from the team behind Phoenix Customs!
Their latest project, entitled Project New Sculpt II, brings us Modern Era renditions of characters from many different characters representing lines from G.I.Joe’s past. Check out how OreoBuilder describes the latest project –
What we call the New Sculpt era is actually several product lines starting with GI Joe vs Cobra, followed by Spy Troops, Valor vs Venom and finally the internet-exclusive Direct to Consumer line. However, this time around, we have gone back even further with some customs inspired by figures released during the Real American Hero re-launch collection. Basically, this year’s customs will cover a ten year period from 1997 to 2007. All told, we have 40 new figures to show off!
———-
Here’s a breakdown of what we’ve seen so far:
- Day 1: New Beginnings – JvC Duke, Collectors Edition Hawk, Collectors Edition Dusty and Collectors Edition Sideswipe
- Day 2: Spy Troops Part 1 – Spy Troops Destro, Spy Troops Grunt, Spy Troops Alley Viper and Spy Troops Cobra Viper
- Day 3: DTC (Direct to Consumer) Part 1 – DTC Steel Brigade Checkpoint, Rook and Red Zone
- Day 4: DTC Part 2 – DTC Airtight, DTC Barrel Roll and DTC Falcon
Make sure to keep it locked on the Project New Sculpt II thread as there will be new figures showcased daily!
