Joe Declassified

Newsletter #3, the All-Canadian issue, available today at the Canadian Joe Convention!

Nothing wrong with including some current news, I guess.

Anyway, Sideshow updated their site with pictures of a new statue, Flint vs. Zartan, in 2 separate versions. Check them out here:

Flint vs. Zartan

That’s right! Issue #2 from the 2010 GIJoeCon is now up – just follow the link over on the right to take you right to the newsletter. This issue features a behind the scenes peek at the Rise of Cobra movie, a review of the unproduced red DTC HISS tank, an article on unproduced Sgt. Savage figures, a review of the International G.I.Joe Action Figure Guide, and a Collection Spotlight on yours truly. Check it out, and let us know what you think!

Among the hundreds, if not thousands of strange international variations out there to collect, this Argen “Blue” Storm Shadow has definitely raised some suspicion. (And with good reason.) These were first discovered back in the early 2000’s by some collectors directly from Argentina; during the influx of left-over stock that was being imported by U.S. toy dealers. Only being released in the C.O.P.S. set (usually packaged with a random PAC RAT toy), this Blue Storm Shadow figure was the only one different than the standard figures released on blister cards.

I know I haven’t put up issue #2 yet, but in the meantime I decided to showcase an article that didn’t have room for inclusion. After the cut is a short Wraith piece by none other than Joe writer and character creator (and bald misfit), Brandon Jerwa.

The long awaited 2009 issue of Joe Declassified is now up, again by following those crazy links over there to your right. Special thanks goes out to Mike O’Sullivan for this issue, as well as the usual bunch. Enjoy!

I just wanted to post a personal thank you to those who have sent in donation money. When I first put up the tab, I wasn’t expecting nearly such a supportive response. Thanks you.

Just follow the link on the right side of the page, and enjoy your read!

Enjoy!

Apparently, some people are just unclear on the concept. As such, they’ve decided to profit off the hard work and effort of our contributors by posting a copy of issue #2 on eBay. Folks, listen. We are not here to make money. Our contributors are not in this for the money. NO ONE should be involved in this hobby for the money. It’s a hobby. It’s a brotherhood (with a few sisters thrown in for good taste). The entire concept of profit is completely antithetical to what we are doing, and what we’re about.
I encourage folks not to bid on this. We will have an online version up here on the site soon enough for your reading enjoyment.
Feel free to let the seller know your opinions.
