It’s the first day of International Licensing Expo 2012. Nothing much on the internet (yet) but happily at least we have a G. I. Joe: Retaliation Poster up at the show.

We’ve previously seen the poster before, but now it has an added text, reading “NOW IN 3D”.

Hopefully, we’ll hear more news soon.

G.I. JOE: SPECIAL OPS is the first-ever online social game based on the iconic G.I. JOE brand. In this arena-based combat title, players can join either the G.I. JOE team or the villainous COBRA organization, accessing a huge catalogue of iconic heroes and villains along with spectacular weapons and vehicles. An epic battle will rage in the game's arenas as iconic commandos and their minions struggling for control and to claim victory for their side.

G.I. JOE: SPECIAL OPS will be released under the Syfy Games banner and debut in June on Facebook and Syfy.com.

G.I. JOE: SPECIAL OPS | Syfy Games Facebook

Declassified Bio

File Name: Tomisaburo "Thomas" S. Arashikage

Primary Specialty: Assassination

Secondary Specialties: Archery; Intelligence

Birthplace: San Francisco, California

STORM SHADOW's heart does not know true evil, but the sins of pride and vengeance will forever haunt him. His association with COBRA, an alliance begun with just intentions, has stained his honor beyond recovery. Poisoned by COBRA ideology and subjected to brutal mind control techniques, the good man who was once Tomisaburo has been almost completely obscured by villainy. STORM SHADOW and SNAKE EYES both served in an overseas patrol unit. The two formed a close friendship during service, earning SNAKE EYES his invitation to study with the Arashikage in Japan. Despite the bond that once existed between them, circumstance produced an irreparable rift, changing the two former friends into bitter enemies. STORM SHADOW's allegiance to COBRA is as unwavering as SNAKE EYES' allegiance is to G.I.JOE.

Thanks to Comic Book Resources, we have a nice article featuring the legendary Larry Hama and he has something very interesting to tell us as he dispatches Duke, Snake Eyes, and company straight to the heart of Comic-Con International.

"It occurred to me that nobody would bat an eye at Snake Eyes in the midst of all that cosplay," Hama said. "It also seemed like an ideal location for the bad-guys to do a covert hand-off; hard to trail a surveillance target, and electronic tracking is degraded as well."

The con arc will also introduce a new villain to the "Real American Hero" continuity, though it will be a character familiar to fans who have followed the many iterations of "G.I. Joe" following its run at Marvel. "It's actually a character I used in the run of 'Storm Shadow,'" Hama said, referring to the series he wrote for Devil's Due. "She will be a continuing character in 'RAH.' In fact, there are two female characters from 'SS' I am recycling."

GA Graphic has posted new images of the upcoming 1/18 VFA-86 Sideswinders F/A-18C Hornet by BBI. While BBI is handling the domestic release, Doyusha will be handling the release of this item in Japan. We know some of you like putting your modern Joes in 1/18 scale vehicles, and since new releases are pretty sporadic, here's at least something to look forward to. In Japan this will retail for a whopping ¥42,000, which equates to $529+, which makes the already increased US retail price($180 + shipping), seem like a bargain.

There doesn't seem to be any new tooling involved, this looks like a straight repaint of the existing BBI F/A-18 tooling from the mid 2000's. The US release is planned for July, and you can pre-order one from our sponsors:

Take a look at the new Hornet repaint after the jump.

Has the Sneak Attack Storm Shadow figure piqued your interest? If so, perhaps some new images of this figure in-hand will quell your curiousity. Leaked samples of this Storm Shadow figure from what was planned for the 2nd wave of GI Joe Retaliation figures turned up a few weeks back.

Now thanks to HissTank boards member CobraCrimson, we can now see more of this figure. It has a few new parts and a mix of parts from previous figures. It also comes with new zipline accessories. The body is from the Rise Of Cobra Storm Shadow with a new head sculpt and hinged wrists, web gear from Basic Snake Eyes, hood from Resolute Storm Shadow, and swords/backpack from Pursuit Of Cobra Desert Battle Storm Shadow. It may not be movie accurate, but it is an interesting kitbash/frankenjoe of parts nonetheless. Check out more images after the jump!

Looks like we'll be getting some behind-the-scenes action from G. I. Joe: Retaliation.

"This weekend on PowerBlock, we go behind the scenes of G.I. Joe: Retaliation slated to hit movie theaters in Spring 2013. Our sponsor Royal Purple has a role in this sequel to “G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra,” and Courtney gives you an advanced look at some of the vehicles including a 17’ combat dune buggy armed with a 50 caliber machine gun and a radically transformed 796 Ducati attack bike. The buggy weighs nearly 6000 pounds and has 450 horsepower. You’ll meet the builder and Picture Car Coordinator, Bill Barillaro, responsible for the buggy and 22-ton, 16′ tall Hiss Tank. Bill started his career in the movie “Speed” as a bus mechanic. Courtney also welcomes the man who arms all the vehicles and the actors, Kevin McCullough. Check it out on PowerBlock June 23 & 24.

The Cobra Minotaur Mech was planned for release with a Desert Scorpion figure but was canceled. This Mech features parts from the Minotaur and other previously seen Mechs. It's anyone's guess as to why this "new" repaint has suddenly appeared on eBay. Upcoming release? New retailer or JoeCon 2012 exclusive? Who knows.

Chief is made from:
Head - Retaliation Joe trooper Helm
Body - Accelerator Suit Duke
The shins are random parts from a Warhammer model and all weapons are from various figures."
