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.

Review – Ashiko with Cycle Armor – G.I. Joe Pursuit of Cobra, Hasbro

Ashiko with Cycle Armor Hasbro G.I. Joe Pursuit of Cobra

Ashiko has an interesting history, because of his distribution. Hasbro has a habit of only releasing the final wave of something (in this case the final wave of Pursuit of Cobra Alpha vehicles) in Asia and Canada. At that point the only thing any U.S. fans can do is buy them from Canada at an inflated price, or buy them off of the internet at an equally inflated price. That is, until Ashiko started showing up recently at Ross stores.

Ross is a department store where big box retailers will send their unsold goods to die (or be bought at a cheaper amount). This is also something G.I. Joe fans are used to, since the Cobra Attack and Defense 7 packs, as well as the G.I. Joe Resolute 7 packs showed up at Ross stores as well. I took a trip to a local Ross and sure enough found Ashiko with Cycle Armor. I had wanted this figure ever since I saw the prototype. It seemed like such a great concept and felt very reminiscent of the Centurions which I loved as a kid. Keep reading to see if that excited stayed after opening him up!
