Hey Everyone! I hope you’re all well! I know that things have been quiet here over the last week. Most of the news that’s popped up has been stuff that has already been shared, so I do my best not to be repetitive.
With that said, I wanted to share this bit of intel with you from none other than JTPrime17, as it pertains to information that was first unearthed back in June of 2020, then again in October. Let’s kick things off with where it started –
As noted, back in June 2020, a gaggle of new G.I.Joe listings were found in Target’s system. One of those listings was for Major Bludd. Of note was his UPC, indicating a general release.
The same listing was again reported on in October of 2020, as Major Bludd had reappeared in Target’s inventory system.
That brings us current; JTPrime17 noted that a new listing was found under code name ASTEROID. This info was discovered on a BOL (bill of lading), in similar fashion as Snake Eyes (00) was.
Of note is that the discovery reflects full cases of “ASTEROID”. This follows the same pattern of other exclusives, but that hasn’t been confirmed as of yet, so I’ll hold off on noting as such until further intel has been received.
Stay tuned!

My poetry’s bad, but my crimes are worse
If the Joes try to get me, I’ll put them in a hearse
They’ll never catch me ’cause I’m so elusive
But I hope my fans find this figure exclusive!

Yeeeeh… another figure most of us will never get our hands on. Scalpers rejoice!
I had hoped Hasbro would be done with the Target exclusive BS in 2021… guess not.

If this truly is an exclusive, it may be the last in the Cobra Island series as there was 3 releases noted back in summer.

Well Billy, that’s a good question, as Major Bludd didn’t look like he was going to be, based on the UPC that was dug up last Summer.
The only other name(s) even circulating out there right now are Barbecue and Alley Viper. That’s not to say that either are going to be Target figures, just that those names have been spotted as well.
So to answer your question, not sure as of yet, but still trying to do the legwork to see if anything else is being offered alongside “Asteroid” or if shelf space is being saved for Snake Eyes movie figures.
