G.I. Joe Club Announces 2009 Free Figures

by

The G.I. Joe Collectors Club has finally gone and done it. They’ve pushed me over the edge so now I must join. In case you didn’t know, one of the coolest things that the G.I. Joe Collector’s club does every year is give out a “free” figure to it’s members. You can get either an old school Joe or a A Real American Hero based figure. This year’s A Real American Hero figure is a repaint of Undertow, Destro’s underwater fighting force.

It’s a pretty pimp ass version of the character. The added paint details really makes him look like a member of the Iron Grenadiers. I’m a fan of Destro’s Frogmen, so I’m really digging this. My wife will approve of my joining as well, since she developed an unexplained attachment to my childhood Undertow. Why? My place is not to question.

The other figure available is a yelling black dude doll, at least that’s what I got from the package.

    hey, if you do end up joining, can you hook me up with those old DTC figures the club is offering? I just want Munitia, so I can’t justify the price of the club for her alone…

    The GI Joe club screwed up my figure this year, when they sent to me a 12″ figure instead of the 3.75″ Cobra Commander figure that I signed up for. I had to trade my 12″ figure for the 3.75″ figure with a collector from Hisstank.

    If I want to buy the Undertow figure, I think I’m just going to get it on eBay. $42 is a bit steep for a non-MOC figure plus a few newsletter. Their monthly newsletter is alright, but for less, you can get a Toyfare magazine subscription, which is far superior.

    “The other figure available is a yelling black dude doll, at least that’s what I got from the package.” The black dude you speak of happens to be the Adventure Teams talking commander. Ya know if I was a punk ass puke that lived in my Mothers basement I would want to collect 3.75″ RAH. I won’t even call them Joe’s they are so damn bad!

    It’s called joking and way to go for the “you live in your mom’s basement” stereotype. That’s COMPLETELY ORIGINAL.

    I, in fact, live in your mother’s basement.
