New Joes!

Just got the 2012 Joe Con Annihilators 3-pack. Its been on the wish list awhile but prices are high to say the least. Still have to decide if I’m going to open them. I haven’t open any convention 2 or 3 pack because I wanted to keep the value at its highest. But, I’m starting to have a change of heart and want to display everything.
I also picked up the Club FSS Dice. I did not buy the FSS, but I will get the second FSS. I’ll be picking up a few more of these as they come out.

I’m on my way to a local swap meet, I’ll post any finds later today. Uploading these from my phone and it won’t let me rotate the pics, ahhhh.

GI Joe Retaliation Movie News

It just came out that the reshooting of the movie was not to add more Duke/Channing Tatum to the movie. Its an interesting development, it sucked in the first movie, so I really hope that he is not in it much. Instead of killing Duke, I’d rather Retaliation would have just started completely anew, taking nothing from the first movie as if it never existed.

It also seems that Marlon Wayans/Ripcord is apparently happy that he was not included in Retaliation. To me it seems like sour grapes. Here is his quote from allhiphop.com “I’m not in it. Rip Cord steps on a landmine. They blew his black ass up… The last one they realized the black guy was the hero of the movie. So, they said ‘You know what? We’re going to do the sequel just so we can fix that. Let’s kill the black guy’.”

Apparently it was a racial thing. LOL.

New Stuff From IDW Limited

Hey guys,

A couple days ago I mentioned in a post that I bought some stuff from IDW Limited. Well, here it is! First up is a one of a kind sketch cover of GI Joe Infestation with Cobra Commander by Germanico. I have to say it looks badass and makes me want to buy a couple more sketch covers from IDW.  Second, I picked up the Cobra Civil War Lithograph Gallery. It is prints of 9 covers from the Civil War, all the variants with CC’s head/helmet and another character.

I also may have some big news about some really cool IDW Joe stuff in the next day or two. I’m efforting that in my free time. Hint: original art.
