It's year three of the Transformers/G.I.Joe San Diego Comic Con mash-ups, and this time we get a set of The Baroness with Ravage based on the previously unreleased statue, Snake-Eyes and a tiny Blaster with tinier Ramhorn, Eject and Steeljaw, plus a full-sized VAMP Hound and Skystriker Jetfire with FAST packs. And G.I. Bludgeon. Amazing! For SDCC Marvel, Jem and My Little Pony news, check out USA Today (http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/2013/06/05/hasbro-2013-comic-con-exclusive-toys/2392107/).

Definitely want this! I don't have any of the other GIJoe crossover exclusives, I'm planning on getting shockwave but I can't really find it for a decent price.

They do know Ravage is a cat right... Do the tail and the collar suggest maybe they don't?

The Jetfire jet looks great (as did Starscream). If they could make a transforming kibble less toy with that jet mode....!

They might, but maybe First 4 Figures didn't when they designed the sculpture:

Or maybe they got confused and thought Ravage was the jeep and Hound was a... hound? :)

I'd consider Ravage/Baroness despite being a Harry Potter lookalike.
I don't fancy my chances of getting one but I'd probably pay a fair bit on evilbay.

And Bludgeon looks a lot like Tekken's Yoshimitsu.

A very common geewunner misconception.

However it still looks like a cat to me although the spiked collar and leash to add to the 'dog' aspect but that could just be incidental.

They are all awesome figures - but considering how much they will cost will prob have to pass them by

This set is really tempting..

Wish Hasbro'd make a full on TF/G.I.Joe crossover line at some point with actual transforming vehicles that also interact with 3 3/4 figures.


I think it makes sense to put a leash on large felines, jaguars, cheetahs, leopards alike. Zoos do this in real life:p

As awesome as it'd be, the biggest problem with that is at that scale, the vehicles get pretty big. A motorbike or jet ski is deluxe sized, quad bikes are voyager sized anything jet, helicopter, tank or truck sized will be massive. And if you want them to transform, it will be even more expensive.

If they scaled it down to Human Alliance size figures, I think it'd be more likely to happen but then it'd move further away from the G.I.Joe parts.

Panthers on leashes aren't particularly new or unusual. Fashion mags have been doing it for decades.

Can't say I've ever paid any attention to photos of women with panthers, but can see where Hasbro is going with it now.

While I like the idea, I'm not sure I want another Vamp and Skystriker even with TF stickers. The Baroness and ravage do look cool though, tempted by them.

GI Joe Bludgeon is fantastic. The whole set's fantastic except for Hound.

"The conclusion"... ???
So this is the last one then. :( And these are so popular (they seem to sell out first of the TFs related SDCC exclusives).

Postage is gonna be huge again.

These are just all sorts of awesome...

Sadly I won't be buying these as I can spent the money on more G1 figures
