September 18, 2006 - (Sponsor Announcement) - News from SmallJoes.com:

Hi all,
We wanted to tell you about a few new things going on at SMALLJOES.COM.

GI JOE

The big question everyone is asking is: where is the new GI JOE 3 3/4" product? The two new 6-figure packs are scheduled for an October shipment (exactly when in October is still a bit up in the air). No solid date details yet on single-carded wave 4. Hasbro seems to be stretching the releases out a bit, possibly to coincide more with the Christmas shopping season since, as far as we know, they have no other 3 3/4" releases planned this year.

In the meantime, we have a lot of new GI JOE comics in stock:

- America's Elite #15
- Scarlett: Declassified
- GI JOE vs. Transformers III #5 (covers A & B)
- GI JOE: Declassified #2 (covers A & B)

GI JOE Special Missions: Tokyo comic is due out this Wednesday.

21ST CENTURY TOYS

A few new items to mention:

The "Smoke II" camouflage version of the 1:18 scale F-104 Starfighter is in stock now and we've been able to secure them at a very nice discount which we're passing on to you.

QUESTION FROM SMALLJOES.COM OWNER

Those of you who are interested in other 3 3/4" military action figure lines might want to take a look at the feature article on Madelman 2050:

I'd like to ask those of you in the collector community (especially the European collectors) if you happen to know if any of the second series items mentioned in this article were actually released. Of note: action figures Nork, Dron, Cranax, Gornak and vehicles Dragotrak/Anfitron, Montrack, and Phantox. Thanks in advance for any information you can provide on this curious toy line.
