Over on Facebook, Mr. Erik Araña from Boss Fight Studio shared some information behind some of the figures that will make their way in to our collections from the G.I.Joe Collectors Club. You may or may not have already been aware of this information, but it deserves another share regardless!
It goes without saying that there are a few gems in this year’s JoeCon Exclusive Convention Set. It should also go without saying that our friends at Boss Fight Studio were involved in the process of making some of our favorites from the 2015 roster! From the JoeCon Convention Exclusives, to the GIJCC Incentive figure, Arctic Dr. Mindbender, to the yet to be revealed 13th figure from the GIJCC Figure Subscription Service, BFS’ craftsmanship shines through in each piece they’re involved with.
Here’s a breakdown of what our friends at Boss Fight Studio have worked on:
On behalf of everyone here at HissTank.com, we’d like to thank our friends at Boss Fight Studio and congratulate them on some amazing pieces that we’re looking forward to adding to our collections!
Back in November 2014, the G.I.Joe Collectors Club shared an image of the upcoming 2015 GIJCC Membership Incentive Figure, Arctic Dr. Mindbender! We haven’t heard and/or seen much since then, but thankfully there’s something new to report on this upcoming figure!
Check out the head sculpt for Arctic Dr. Mindbender created by none other than the powerhouse that is Boss Fight Studio! This head sculpt is by far the best sculpt we’ve ever seen created for this character and will make many collectors pleased with their Club Incentive figure.

You must have an active (paid) membership on or before March 16, 2015 to get your choice of Arctic Dr. Mindbender OR 12″ Doctor Isotope for no additional charge.
