There’s never a dull moment in the struggle for world domination between Cobra and the forces of chaos vs G.I. Joe and their allies! Super7’s latest G.I. Joe ReAction Figures add some colorful figures to the fray with Barbecue, Buzzer, Cobra Commander Funhouse Robot, G.I. Joe Pilot, Cobra Crimson Guardsman, and General Hawk! These 3.75” scale, articulated G.I. Joe ReAction figures are ready to take on the fight and join your collection on-the-double!
The second figure in the current G.I. Joe Classified wave to arrive for me is The Mad Marauders Barbecue. While not as exciting as the Crimson B.A.T. it will be a lot more desirable if they release the complete team. For now enjoy some fresh in-hand images of The Mad Marauders Barbecue.
Earlier today Hasbro Pulse sent out word that a G.I. Joe drop would be happening on their site. At 1PM, Barbecue and Breaker with RAM Cycle went live there. While they did sell out, it wasn’t seconds. Many folks on the forums scored one. Soon after, they went live on Target proper. WHERE THEY ARE STILL AVAILABLE. I wasn’t even going to post this, as normally by the time the story is up these things are sold out. However, 47 minutes later – both are still available on Target.com. Check the links below and save yourself the heartburn later in the year.
Update: HISSTANK members are reporting that this casting call may possibly be a scam. We are yet to hear an official announcement regarding any casting. [Read more…]
