In one of the strangest promotion moves I’ve ever seen, Hasbro decided to unveil its San Diego Comic-Con 2012 Exclusive 3.75” G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero action figure in February! This is 5-6 months earlier than normal, but who is The Blot to complain! While we don’t know many details, we do know this year’s SDCC exclusive will be Jinx (Kim Arashikage played by Elodie Yung) from this summer’s G.I. Joe: Retaliation (i.e. G.I. Joe 2). The Blot’s a huge Jinx fan, so I’m excited to see her get the spotlight as this summer’s RAH Comic-Con exclusive. As always there will be two versions available, the Standard Edition Red Jinx and the even rarer Variant White Edition.
Like with all SDCC Exclusive 3.75” G.I. Joe action figures, these will definitely sell out and probably fetch some high dollars on the secondary market. So if you think you may want one of these awesome figures start setting up a Comic-Con 2012 mule now!
