I really like the British Infantryman and Marine Paratrooper, looks like I'll be digging into the ole wallet.

I like these, hopefully the flocking is durable.

Nice marriage of the two concepts. The price is steep, but the idea is fun.

Saw this on Facebook this morning and thought it was awesome. But molded hair and a chest pack would've been sweet. They should've used the SJ head sculpt too.

That's kind of bad ***.

The Darkon-Gor in particular is cool. 12 Inch GI Joe had such a lack of villains to fight. For me, the villains were usually the knock off products out there at the time, an old Marx figure or the Ken dolls the girl next door would bring over.

I think I'm smitten with these because for years, Super Joe has been that era that isn't mentioned. it's barely a foot note in most GI Joe books, they treat it like a drunk uncle.

Yeah Super Joe is kind of the Scrappy Doo of the GI Joe world.

Which is a shame. It was such a great line. This line definitely wins Best Use Of A Light Bulb. Such a little thing but added such cool features.
These new 12inchers are a cool idea but not for me. Now 9 or 8inch reproductions that aren't 70 plus dollars, I would be all in. Still cool to see though.

I loved Super Joe. I would have liked to see Hasbro re-use all the Super Joe accessories and Power Vests for an Iron Man figure, maybe even a whole Avengers line. The simple light bulb and power pack concept seems high-tech compared to any action figure features in use today.

Pretty darn neat! Looks like they really took care with these. Though, I have to say that I'm not too familiar with Super Joe.

They look good but not enough to bite the bait. The truth is that these are very easy to do custom figures and for half the price...

An 8"-9" series of Super Joe re-releases would have been another whole different story. And that's being said by a GI Joe Club member...

I will not renew membership this year!

I agree they are probably cheaper to make yourself...Having seen what they look like now, I'd rather make a couple using vintage joe figures...If this commander had come with the light up chest pack I might have bitten, but as is no....

It's possible to kitbash some very nice 12" Super-Joe using Cotswold Collectible. But it ain't cheap, not substantially cheaper than these offerings--which include accessories.

Had the club added boxes, these would be a home run IMO.
