The Official Hasbro G.I. Joe Club has sent out an e-mail regarding this year’s custom class. For those of you that are attending the class, or for those that are interested in what this year’s custom figure will be, you will have the ability to create the G.I.Joe Star Brigade Jet-Tech Operations Expert, Robo-JOE! Below are the details from the e-mail –

Hey Class Participants,
This year’s character is Robo Joe. Parts for this figure build that you will receive in the class are:
1) Class exclusive (only available to participants) NEW 3d designed Robo Joe head
2) Class exclusive (only available to participants) NEW 3d designed Robo Joe face mask
3) Custom designed upper torso
4) Custom designed upper arms with shoulder rings
5) Auto .9mm Pistol with thigh peg mount
6) Right Outside Thigh with pistol mount peg hole
7) Sub-Machine Gun
8) Aliens style Pulse Rifle with backpack peg mount
All parts are cast in the proper base colors (orange, black, flesh, clear), so you will only have to paint details and parts on your donor figure. The figure that we suggest you bring is one of the three versions of the G.I. Joe Rise of COBRA Accelerator Suit. The more common versions are Duke and Ripcord. Corey at Smalljoes.com has a decent supply of Ripcord for $12.99 and has fast shipping if needed.
In the class, you will learn how to split a torso, and prep and assemble your custom cast original parts for painting. There will be a few people on hand to help with any novice builders, but more experienced customizers should have no problems. Paints, glue, and other supplies are provided. If you have a favorite brush or paints that you prefer to use, then feel free to bring those along. The class will be in the lower level of the Prairie Capital Convention Center. You can go down stairs at the hotel and take the tunnel. Starts at 8:30 AM. Please arrive 15 minutes early!
See you in Springfield!
