The G.I. Joe Club posted images of the JoeCon exclusive faction leaders from Project Downfall! For the Sky Patrol there’s Skydive, and for the Cobra A.D.D.E.R.S. there’s Sky Creeper!
COBRA has installed an advanced radar station on one of the
“fourteener’s”, mountains that rise more than 14,000 feet above
sea level in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. When G.I. JOE tests
their new stealth aircraft at one of the local Air Force bases, they
find themselves on a search and rescue mission for the ultimate
prize.
The COBRA A.D.D.E.R.S. (Aerial Deployment Daredevil Elite
Recon Squadron) are a covert reconnaissance and warfare unit of
the COBRA Air Force. These tactical assault glider pilots swoop
down on their prey and steal everything they can carry back to
their base. They are airborne criminals determined to rule the
skies by any means necessary!
The G.I. JOE SKY PATROL are an elite aerial assault team.
They use advanced stealth technology to provide offensive and
defensive counter air operations. These airborne troopers conduct
rapid, infiltration, ex-filtration or reconnaissance missions using
specialized deployment systems and tactics. Their goal is to clear
the skies by disrupting or neutralizing all enemy forces in their
path.
Both the COBRA and G.I. JOE squadron leaders know that
command of the sky is crucial in determining the outcome of any
battle. Which team will be victorious and gain air superiority?
The 2016 3 3/4” convention set contains highly requested teams and some new additions available for the first time in the modern era 25A action figure style.

If you’re a Valtasker, make sure you head over to the Marauder “Gun-Runners” storefront and take advantage of this awesome offer! I know I will!
Friday night, I managed to track down Combiner Wars Brawl. The figure looked really cool on the card, but when I opened the figure and played with him I was sorely disappointed.
What went wrong? Read my review of Combiner Wars Brawl to find out why this managed to surpass Breakdown as my least favorite Combiner Wars figure!
Our very own ska_lives posted his custom female Tele-Viper figure! Here’s what he had to say about the figure!
I got a few kits from angelforge a while back and finally got around to finishing up one of them. I have 0 modern televipers, and thus I decided to make one. The female TV kit is very nice and I recommend it. My only complaint is that the upper torso is very wide when viewed from the side and makes her look funny when using feminine arms. Instead I mixed male and female arms to make something that looked more sensible. I’d have to say that my favorite part of making this figure was the nifty translucent look I got on the visor. The only other thing I can say is that she is sorely under-equipped and that I hope to find some more accessories for her on the future.
I hope you dig it!
Be sure to check out ska_lives’ female Tele-Viper in the Dreadnok Chop Shop, and let him know what you think of this awesome figure!
The Marauder “Gun-Runners” are at it again! Late last night they released images of the Steady Cam Gunner from the Marauder Task Force Valkyries Kickstarter campaign!
Update 2/16 – MTF Steady Cam Gunner Prototype
Hey “814 Valtaskers!”
Here are some images of the MTF Steady Cam Gunner prototype. We are very excited at how it turned out and hope you all like it, too! Shown are the weapon & mounting rig, Armor Mask, and new male legs, arms & hands. We hope to have samples off the actual production tools very soon (Valkyries in full jumpsuit, Valkyries with Tshirts, new male figures and accessories). As with all our projects, we really enjoy keeping our supporters involved during the development & production.
Since we ALL like surprises… we will have SEVERAL new COLOR versions of the male Marauder Task Force figures available on the website early next week. We will send an update announcement, with full descriptions & images, when the items are live on the site.
Thanks again for your support!
MJ & Team
Later on Marauder Ruben posted more images of the Steady Cam Gunner helmet!
I’ll just leave this here.
I for one can’t wait for the summer to come, so I can get my hands on these sweet new figures!
Here is the 1st Eagle Force Returns concept image…Stryker Jr. He is the one of a few original characters that will be joining the Eagle Force Returns line up when we kick off the Kickstarter later this summer. We’ll be posting more concept images of other characters soon, but we posted this image because we wanted to highlight the fact that we’ll be sharing parts and accessories with ZICA Toys “The New Adventure People” Kickstarter which has just relaunched. If that Kickstarter funds, we’ll be able to offer cool figures like this right off the bat and not have to do them as stretch goals. We hope this image gives you an idea of the “bigger picture” for the toy lines that Fresh Monkey Fiction and ZICA Toys are co-developing. If you haven’t already please check out “The New Adventure People” Kickstarter at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1728265268/the-new-adventure-people-0
If the funding goal reaches $30,000 our next army builder figure will be unlocked, the Strike Force Trooper! We’ll be offering it as a single figure for $20.00 (plus S&H), and in an army builder set of 7 figures for $100.00 (plus S&H). Assuming the stretch goal is met, the figure will be available for purchase via the Backerkit surveys that will be sent out after the Kickstarter ends.
The folks at Zica Toys had to cancel their previous Adventure People Kickstarter campaign because they switched factories!
However they launched a new campaign this week! But there’s more! They also included a new figure, Captain Evil’s Henchman!
Unfortunately if you already pledged to the original campaign, your pledge was cancelled so you’ll have to make a new pledge. On the bright side, the new factory was able to offer their services at a lower price so the price per figure is much cheaper!
Here’s the Ghosts of the Battlefield story, from the Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. kickstarter campaign:
These two warriors both swore an oath to the gods to kill the other, but perished before they could do so. Now they haunt the battlefields, locked in an eternal war until one side admits defeat. Spartans and Gorgons alike fear angering the gods and ending up a soldier in the unending war between these two undead rivals.
