Thanks to HISS Tank.com boards member DansJoes for posting up images of his G.I. Joe Toy Room! This massive collection reminds you of a vintage 80's toy aisle stock full of win.

"Hey Everyone. Just thought I'd share my new layout for my Joes. In the past, I didn't have enough room to showcase my collection, but recently moved and was able to do what I've wanted to do for years! Several years ago (I'm not sure what site) I came across the old pictures from the 80s showing all the Joes on the shelves. I loved the way it looked and it brought back many memories. Here is a preview of some of my new pics from my new room....Enjoy!"

"...this is Firefly's Hurricane.

It would be used to insert and extract him from enforcement, sabotage, and assassination missions. Inverted wings increase maneuverability over speed, which are useful in closer urban environments, the cockpit cannon has been replaced with a vulcan minigun, and the missiles have been replaced with an assortment of Russian issue rocket pods, missiles and bombs.

There will be figures coming later, a Vapor and a Firefly, but I was pretty happy with this so I wanted to post it right away."

The Examiner is letting us know that the cast members of G. I. Joe: Retaliation are going through an intense physical training.

"When it comes to Lady Jade [What!?!], the undercover weapons expert on the G.I. Joe team (played by Friday Night Light's own Adrianne Palicki), Aaron is training her in the realm of plyometrics and cardio strength training to attain an "athletic, lean, and sleek" look that her character exhibits.

The French style of object navigation known as parkour gets a nod with DJ Cotrona, breathing life into the character of Flint. He needs to maintain a "very strong core", with Williamson directing him "with a lot of basic, compound movements". Byung-hun Lee, who plays Storm Shadow, has been training with Aaron and his L.A. based trainer. Each trainer has their own training methods but rest assured, no one will be disappointed in his look or performance."

And yes, Secret Shadow is in the movie too!
