Well some very exciting news came out over the weekend that definitely clamed the Joe fans out there who were worried that Hasbro would not offer anything for the 50th anniversary of the brand. Hasbro blew my expectations out of the water! I thought there would definitely be some Kreo figures and possibly a couple figures but I did not expect the huge amount of figures, vehicles and Kreo playsets that were announced!

I’ll start by summarizing the GI Joe Kreo 2014 offerings. Hasbro will again continue to release Kreo exclusively at Toys R Us and starting this March we will see Wave 3! The blind bag wave 3 figures include:

Wave 3 Blind Bags

• Nunchuk
• Atomic Man (Mike Power)
• Snow Serpent
• Cobra Air Trooper
• Tomax
• Lady Jaye
• Night Creeper
• Footloose
• Scrap Iron
• Low Light
• Doc
• Torch

 

Wave 4 Blind Bags

• Air Adventurer
• Budo
• Alpine
• Chuckles
• Cobra Shock Trooper
• Cobra Viper
• Nemesis Enforcer
• Night Viper
• Tripwire
• Wet Suit
• Zartan
• Airborne

 

Wave 3 & 4 Boxed Sets

• G.I. Joe Firebat Attack w/ Recondo, Bazooka, & AVAC
• G.I. Joe Outpost Defense w/ Storm Shadow & Beachhead
• Cobra Terror Drome w/ Serpentor, Cobra Officer, Xamot, Gung Ho, Mainframe, and General Hawk

 

I am really excited for all of the Kreo stuff! Hasbro has hit a home run with GI Joe and Kreo. The terror drome will be awesome and I can’t wait to set that one up! I read that the Firebat fits in the silo and that the silo raises and lowers! While most of this is not new, it was leaked on a customer service website several months ago, it is great to see that it ended up being true.

Now on to the 3 3/4″ line of figures.  First, this is a lot more than I expected and I hope collectors are happy that there will be GI Joe on Toys R Us shelves the entire year. The highlights of the figures and vehicles below for me are: Destro, Flint and Leatherneck. All three of those figures are straight from last year’s Joe Con Concept Vault.
