Toy News International has made the announcement below:
“During Toy Fair in February, it was announced that Hasbro would be releasing an exclusive SDCC version of the G.I.Joe 50th Anniversary “Danger At The Docks” set which is coming to Toys R’ Us and etailers later this year. The SDCC exclusive version will be packaged with a Cobra Night Raft like the regular version and come with a Vamp and Flint figure painted in vintage colors like we saw back in the 80’s (see below). Due to lack of news on the SDCC set since then, some speculated that it had been canceled but we have confirmation from Hasbro that in fact it is still coming as an SDCC exclusive next month. Stay-tuned for an official announcement and new images.”
And to clear up whether or not this EXCLUSIVE set will be released at Toys R Us, listen to General_Hawk from yojoe.com:
“Hasbro’s Public Relations firm has made available the high resolution press photos for the ComicCon 2014 “Danger at the Docks” set. This set begins as an SDCC Exclusive, but then should be available at Toys “R” Us following the debut in San Diego.
I know there has been some confusion about the availability of this set, but as first reported right here on YoJoe, the intention is for this set to be available at Toys “R” Us following its release at SDCC. You can find some images below, including a great shot of some brand new accessories built just for this set!”

I just saw that General_Hawk over at yojoe.com posted some interesting news regarding the Transformers Collectors Club crossing over into G.I. Joe territory. Rather than recap, here are the good general’s own words…
“If there are any G.I. Joe fans following Botcon, you no doubt caught the news of the Transformers Collectors Club revealed their line up for their third Transformers Figure Subscription Service.
Nestled within some other familiar characters was none other than Serpent O.R., a character pulled from the Devis’ Due G.I. Joe Vs. Transformers “The Art of War” series! The Serpent O.rganic R.obot is obviously an homage to the classic Serpentor character from the G.I. Joe mythos.
Images from the slideshow have been posted on TFW2005.com and the resemblance to everyone’s favorite Cobra Emperor is immediately evident in the color scheme. Check out the mirrored image below. Pretty cool homage, I have to say!
Make sure you keep your eyes on the exciting Shout! Factory Streaming Event live from Botcon, and all of the Botcon coverage from Figures.com!”

Recently, the senior staff members of OG13 found out that a couple of fellow members of OG13 were recovering from some life altering events and we wanted to come up with a way to bring the whole community together to share support for these members (and the community) in general. In addition to the custom auctions, and the two charity raffles, we decided on making an official OG13 Custom Trooper and sell a limited number of these figures to raise money to help ease the burdens our friends have suffered. We hope to continue this venture on a yearly basis, and this year it is all about our members, because without your support, we would never be where we are today! Yo G13!
As of 7/23, we have all 50 of the figures made, but only 6 of the cards/bubbles have been sent. We are waiting on mocJoes to complete the order of the cards.
Pre-orders have been fast and furious, so we have around 24 of the 50 left for sale.
Here are ACTUAL shots of the exclusive figure and packaging:
And here is a huge thank you to all that participated in the making of this figure, and to all that donated their own figures, time, talent, money, and patience, to make this happen. If we missed anyone (and probably did), please let us know!

From ICON:
“This is the Universal Community Thread to provide relief and aid to GI Joe Collectors world wide who cannot locate exclusive “DG Joes” at their local DOLLAR GENERAL stores.
The rules here are simple:
1. You simply request to be added, stating your name and which figures you want.One of each figure is what we start with to ensure everyone gets a fair shot to own them all.
2. This Effort/Mission is meant for everyday Collectors, not scalpers/resellers. This is a small Community, we all know each other in a “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon” kind of way. This is a COMMUNITY effort, NOT a profit generator. If you ask for help and the product shows up on ebay, you will be reported as such and word will spread quickly amongst your fellow collectors and peers.
3. If you receive help, pay it forward and give help. The term “Pay it forward” applies to toys, but also to your everyday life. We are a Community and as such, we help each other in time of need. It could be an action figure, it could be a shoulder to lean on. Don’t be a selfish jerk….you are here to be a part of COMMUNITY..if you want to just be another person posting on a website, there are a million of those to be had.
4. Items are to be provided at cost plus shipping. A fair allowance for fuel and time may be accepted and agreed upon by Contributor and Receiver…”
