With G. I. Joe: Retaliation just 4 months away, Hasbro is now applying for relevant Trademarks.

HISSTANK learns that recently Hasbro has applied for the trademark “ARASHIKAGE” and its associated logo as well as for the trademark “NINJA LIGHTNING”.

“ARASHIKAGE” title is under the trademark serial numbers of 85543771 and 85543767 at the United States Patent & Trademark Office for “Goods and Services: Toy action figures, toy vehicles, and accessories for use therewith” and “Goods and Services: Clothing, footwear and headwear, namely, underwear, rainwear, sleepwear, coats, shirts, tops, jackets, jogging suits, warm-up suits, sweaters, sweatshirts, sweatpants, t-shirts, swimwear, dresses, pants, shorts, belts, caps, knit caps, hats, visors, scarves, mittens, gloves, headbands, wristbands, socks, slippers socks, boots, shoes, sneakers, sandals; masquerade costumes and masks sold in connection therewith” respectively.

The Arashikage Logo (pictured in this news post) is also for clothing and accessories under the trademark serial number of 85543764.

“NINJA LIGHTNING” is registered under the trademark serial number of 85543764 for “Goods and Services: Toy action figures, toy vehicles, and accessories for use therewith”.

Most likely the “ARASHIKAGE” trademark may very well be for the Costumes we saw recently.

When it comes to Flint and Lady Jaye… well, you know the story. Apparently, we are indeed going to see some sparks flying in G. I. Joe: Retaliation. D.J. Cotrona and Adrianne Palicki; who play Flint and Jaye respectively, hints that we will see some romance between the two Joes.

"Anybody that's familiar with 'G.I. Joe,' any of the storylines, they're two very main characters and they have a pretty specific relationship between them that evolves and goes certain places," Cotrona told MTV News. "I think we did it justice in the movie so I think the fans are going to be really excited."

When "Retaliation" begins, Flint and Jaye will already have history together, Palicki said.

"We kind of came into it with our own storylines," she explained. Cotrona agreed, adding that Palicki's Lady Jaye has been in the Joe unit longer than his Flint has. Despite the fact that the two characters will have known each other for a while by the time the movie starts, Cotrona said that fans will get to see the relationship unfold before their eyes as the film progresses.

"It [starts as] a brother-sister thing," he teased, "and it continues on into other places."

The GIJOE Collector's Club has sent out this statement to all members:

Quote:
Fun Publications wants to take this opportunity to apologize to all of our members. After many days of analysis, Fun Publications has determined that there is a security issue with our e-commerce systems. We appreciate all of you who have sent in your details. Your help has allowed us to ferret out several different patterns of fraudulent charges that have appeared on some members cards (any that have been used over the last year with both the club store and our event registration system).

We have several different internet/networking companies looking into the matter. Unfortunately, as of yet, we have not been able to identify any forcible entry either into our internet service provider's servers or network. This is like chasing a ghost through the wires, as unfortunately, the perpetrator did not leave a trail, foot prints or finger prints.

For those of you who have been affected, we apologize for all of your time this has wasted and any inconvenience it has caused you. We understand your frustration as this same type of fraud has happened to everyone in our office on our personal credit cards at some point in the past. Our merchant services provider wants us to remind everyone that even though this can be a huge annoyance for you, the customer, your issuing bank will not hold you responsible for any fraudulent charges that might be placed on your card(s).

We know that this issue has been a huge topic of discussion on all of the boards for the past few weeks. However, we are required to investigate to determine and confirm a security issue thoroughly before making any public statements. This is why we put out a general alert statement two weeks ago.

Until the analysis is finished (can take several weeks) we don't know if the shut down by our former (Jan 31st) e-commerce provider caused the security issue or not. We do know that it has not been limited to those who have purchased before the change to our new provider.

Please, watch your cards closely as this type of security issue appears to be on the increase across the net. No site is 100% safe. You may want to consider having any cards you have used with Fun Publications in the last year replaced.

At this time, we do not know how long our e-commerce site will be offline for both the store and registrations. We will get back to you once we have a solution for this security issue.

Thanks for your support - Brian

Here’s a little something from the Toy Fair 2012. Every year, Hasbro hosts a Party/Business event for their Investors to celebrate the reveal of upcoming toys. This year, the event was sort of running close-to-close with the Media Day and therefore we focused more on the Toy Reveals rather than Business Plans.

But Hasbro Toy Fair Investor Days also reveal some cool stuff. This year Hasbro released a Poster from G. I. Joe: Retaliation. The poster shows Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Roadblock Take a look, after the jump.

Clarification on ROADBLOCK: He does not have those awful keys in his hands. He has normal hands (albiet swivel with no ball-joint). The mainline Wave 1 RB has one of those keys, and it is used to unlock his cannon's accessory play.

I agree, their #'s do seem to be down. Maybe they're waiting for the big push on new figs when the film opens?
