Confirmation that SDCC “Danger at the Docks” will be available at TRU after SDCC

I feel like I’ve had this conversation a number of times, but I know the lack of a real “official” report left the seed of doubt firmly planted in many fans’ minds. But rest assured, today Toys “R” Us has confirmed, via this section of their website that the G.I. Joe “Danger at the Docks” SDCC Exclusive will be available via TRU.com after its debut at the show.

So for folks who aren’t able to hit up ComicCon, this great looking set will be hitting the TRU website (and if past years are any indication, brick and mortar stores as well).

It’s okay to celebrate now! I’ve mirrored some great press images of the SDCC Exclusive Danger at the Docks set below.

Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. Amazon unlocked and a big landmark stretch goal is CLOSE!

The fantastic Boss Fight Studio Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. Kickstarter campaign hit a big stretch goal today with their 700th backer, unlocking the highly desired Amazon Warrior! She gets automatically added to any “All In” pledges, and is available as a stretch goal for anyone who meets the $115 minimum.

Keep in mind, too, if you want to add the extras to your pledge, please do it BEFORE the Kickstarter ends! All you need to do is just adjust your pledge and add the amount in that you want to spend on extras, then when the Kickstarter ends, you simply choose the ones you want. Over on JoeCustoms, pluv posted a fantastic tutorial:

Now you may be asking why we’re pushing this so hard right now?

Well, it just so happens that the $165,000 stretch goal is very, VERY close. Once that stretch goal hits, not only do we get Medusa’s sister Eurayle and the Myrmidon Warrior unlocked, but also folks who go “All In” at the $500 level (or above) start getting much better deals. It’s a great chance for folks to bump up their pledges and get more for less!

So if you haven’t supported the Boss Fight Studio Kickstarter yet, please consider doing it! They all really appreciate the support.

Hit & Run gets his due – G.I. Joe Collectors Club responds to fan requests

Well, a big kudos to the G.I. Joe Collectors Club for taking the feedback from the fandom and making some tweaks to their FSS 3.0 version of Hit & Run. While we didn’t get the Firefly torso of the concept case version (according to the GIJCC, the head sits really loose on top of it and is not fully compatible), we got what looks like a different head, different webgear, and the green skin that so many fans were asking for (myself included).

It’s pretty late in the design stages to be making these changes, so props to the Club for rolling with the punches and making it happen.

Check out the new image below, and make sure you’re thanking them by signing up for the FSS 3.0!
