No picture yet, but it looks like it was announced at a Hasbro event. I am thrilled beyond words! Bulletman can't be far behind.

Hasbro has all but washed their hands of the 12 inch line. Their last attempt last year was uninspired and equally ignored in stores. It's not perfect, but I'll settle for a Kre-o. I can't get the image to upload, but he looks great.Mortui Vivos Docent

My brother's got a subscription to the Joe club 3 3/4" exclusives they are doing for the 50th.
I think we really do need a Bulletman revival.Comment

^DC may stand in the way of that. When the Joe Bulletman came out, DC didn't own the Fawcett characters, and technically had no license to them beyond the Marvel family. Yet DC used Bulletman and other Fawcett heroes in that JLA/JSA/Shazam crossover. So Fawcett obviously wasn't into protecting their properties much.
Now, DC owns ALL the Fawcett heroes, so it would be interesting to see if Hasbro could do something with their Bulletman without DC's permission.

I have begged GIJCC president Brian Savage on several occasions to revive or update Bulletman for the collector's club.
The figure has a huge fan base & is scarce.
It would be a very easy thing IMO to issue a repro or "modernized" figure as a club "Armored Adventurer" to tie in with Adventure Team reissues.
This would work around potential DC problems, but honestly, couldn't Hasbro just market him as "Adventure Team's Bulletman"? The prefix trick is done all the time with Marvel characters.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

I'm in the club for the same reason, but I'm a little disappointed with their offerings this year.Mortui Vivos Docent

I let my subscription in the club lapse as I was not impressed with the 50th anniversary offering. I mean, really, couldn't they do something better than a repro Man of Action?Comment

^I was thinking that too, but the visual is pretty similar. Not really sure, that's just my conjecture. I'm not going to claim to have insider info or anything. It's just a guess. Hope I'm wrong!
