Check out images of the Joecon 2013 Hasbro display. This was a much smaller setup than years past, but shows the figures seen at Toy Fair 2013 again from different angles. We do have a bit of disappointing news. As of today, the Retaliation Red Ninja from the infamous Ninja Mountain scene in Retaliation, did not make it onto any current planned wave of G.I.Joe Retaliation movie toys.

This is not to say that it will not show up in future plans, but it's going to be some time before we see that figure at retail........ [Read More]

Check out Retaliation Eaglehawk vs vintage Tomahawk side By side shots. This should clear up questions fans had at Toy Fair 2013. We had a chance to place them side by side for everybody to make up there own mind. It's an awesome update and the blades being able to fold up is a bonus.

Special thanks to John Warden for letting us take pics up-close.

Pre orders start April. End may. Possible ship time is august.

Qna

Would like to get back to 6 month per order time.

Not going to offer souvenirs in advance.

Lots of specific questions about figures. General answer is they can do any fig. Cost, new tool needs, and availability of molds is the key in that decision when trying to do fan favs.

Kre-o is a potential for club and future con exclusives. Depends on Hasbro.

Not announcing next club figure today.

No plans for 50th to announce.

Asking fans if they would like to see exclusive set figures in new decos as part of fuss after initial release. Its possible but want to hear what fans think first.

And done. Discuss!... [Read More]

Look what Hasbro has pulled out of their back pocket today. If you want these figures sound off on the forums. I gotta say these would be an awesome starter to a G.I.Joe 50th Anniversary set.

Figures include the best head sculpt and design for Destro to-date. You might not be able to tell from these pictures but he is a little taller then other Joe figures and is PERFECT!

We have posted up another round of Night Force "Glow In The Dark" features from this years JoeCon box set and exclusives. I don't think a lot of people realize that Chuckles shirt has this effect, as well as some of the gear in the box set. I herd a rumor at JoeCon 2013 that Lady Jaye's Night Force logo on her hat should glow, but I could not get that effect to work on any of mine.

Joecon 2013 is over but we still have some awesome things to show you. One of those things was the premiere of an ongoing project being curated by Kevin Watts, long time Joe fan, collector and customizer. That project's name is the canvHISS Project.

Inspired by similar themes in the art world, it aims to use the classic G.I. Joe H.I.S.S. Tank toy as a blank canvas for artists to go nuts on. Anything goes. And as you will see, anything went.

So check out some shots of the first pieces to be shown by reading on, and make sure to follow the project by liking their page on Facebook!... [Read More]

Can't wait to see what IDW's new GI Joe Cobra Files book is all about? We've got a preview for you!

GI Joe Cobra Files #1
A SNAKE IN THEIR MIDST!

Her name is CHAMELEON-and she used to be a COBRA agent. Now she's made her way into the G.I. JOE team-the honest way. But even with the best of intentions, does she have what it takes to fight on the side of the angels? FLINT thinks she does, and he's willing to gamble the lives of this teammates on her. . . Unfortunately, with the Crimson Twin called TOMAX pulling the strings, no bet is a sure thing.

Allkpop has revealed that Storm Shadow actor Lee Byung-hun, not only wants in on GI Joe 3 but also wants to reveal a different side of Storm Shadow in it:

Then he was asked about ‘G.I. Joe 3‘ and said, “If they go ahead and make the movie I would like to appear again. I want to show a side of Storm Shadow that I have not already so if there is an opportunity I would like to be in the movie.”

It turns out that Lee and Jon Chu came up with the idea for his prison breakout scene in the beginning of GI Joe Retaliation and his subsequent revenge later in the film. Who knows what they will come up with in the next film? On a side note, for those who want to see a different side of Storm Shadow, you might want to check out GI Joe Master And Apprentice Volume 2.... [Read More]
