Just a couple of notes: Yes, everything will be in gray tones. This is a set of figures, not just a one off, so they will display well together. There will be an Action Sailor, Action Pilot, and Action Marine as well in this series. You will get the 12" gray tone figure wearing shorts and the accessories and box are the add on that completes the set. These will be REALLY limited. Yes, it's a novelty but something that harkens back to the ORIGINAL days of Joe as he was first seen. The box images came off of the original commercials. The box is the width of the talker boxes to accommodate the accessories.

Note Accessories Plural. Members/buyers could conceivably get Combat Gear with the Soldier, Navy Attack/Frogman Gear with the Sailor, Scramble Equipment with the Pilot, and Beachhead Attack/Paramarine equipment with the Marine.


I wonder if I'll be able to get the series, or just one. Cost is a factor in this.



Regardless, I'm super excited.

Looks great Ian

As seen on Black & White TV! or the ad in the newspaper.

Sideshow toys did a series of "Silver Screen" figures in B&W mostly of the Universal Monsters figures.

It'll be interesting to see what they do with the accessories.

Thanks for sharing AY!

The Club released another Teaser image. The Combat Field Jacket for the Action Soldier. Looks like I'm on the right track with my speculation.

Here's some "background" information on what the Club is trying to emulate here: http://www.vintage3djoes.com/dietz-archive-of-commercials.html

Here's the first one:



 

I think I saw the proposed 2018 Joe release on the Joe report a while back, it's an exciting looking release?

My eyes went all funny looking at that Combat Jacket, it might need a bit of blurring to get rid of that Moiré pattern effect.

Ian, do you know how the GI Joe club works these days?

Do you still pay to join? I've had a look but it seems to divert to a Transformers club but still offers Joe items for sale.

There's a few things on there I'd like to get at some stage.

Here's a link to buy memberships: https://www.toyarama.com/store/gi-joe-club-memberships-c1.php?template_package=gijoe


Yes, you still have to buy to join. But for international folks it's frightfully expensive. But if you'd really like to buy some things from them, better hurry. As I said, they pack up at the end of 2018.

Thanks for that link Ian, so are the 2018 figures the last they will produce?

Correct.

I don't know what Hasbro plans on doing with GI Joe once they've got his undivided attention, but it's probably not much.

The Club released a third teaser image.


They claim this is a color image.

Just found this, thats a cool idea to do them in black and white, but I think the tampo printed eybrows need to be made to look like the originals, they are way too off the mark and too thin.

Mono-chrome Joe!

Different...

I got the basic figure with my membership, but I was EXTREMELY disappointed
that this was what they decided to do for the last figure they would have.

Me and others were wanting a repro of the GI Nurse.

I didn't bother spending another $70 for the accessory set.

Anybody want a B&W Joe in his skivvies?
