News – 2013 SDCC Exclusives G.I. Joe/Transformers Crossover Set Revealed

Among all of Hasbro’s 2013 SDCC exclusive reveals today is their latest G.I. Joe/Transformers crossover set. And this year’s is a doozy! This years set features a repainted G.I. Joe V.A.M.P. Jeep made to look like the Autobot Hound and a Skystriker repainted to look like Autobot Jetfire. The set also includes figures of Snake-Eyes with an Autobot logo on his chest, the Baroness with Ravage (complete with chain around his neck for her to hold on to), Decepticon Buldgeon reimagined as a robotic Samurai warrior (3.75″), and Blaster with cassettes in boombox form. Wow! Talk about one heck of a set.

What you expect that to cost? What if I told you it’s going to cost $99.99! It might seem steep to some, but considering everything this comes with, I personally think it’s a great deal. And like with previous G.I. Joe/Transformers crossover sets, the packaging on this one pays homage to the old G.I. Joe/Transformers crossover mini-series that was released by Marvel in the 80s.
