Shout! Factory has posted a definitive G.I. Joe thread, in which Brian Ward of Shout! Factory takes questions about the upcoming G.I. Joe A Real American Hero DVD releases, and answers them!

New information has already been posted, and Brian has already answered some questions! Here is what he had to say:

There isn't much I can say that's different here, although I will say that the original masters looked considerably better than those of Transformers. And, unlike Rhino, we will be completing the series. In one fell swoop, in fact. No, I can't go into even the vaguest of details about when, but I can say "soon." We're already working up a press release, so it's THAT soon.

We will have featurettes, like the ones on Transformers. We will have the designers, the producers, the writers, the voice cast, PSAs, toy commercials and more. As soon as I'm allowed, I'll go into more detail.

Oh, and to answer the questions about running times and how many episodes, etc... We are not moving into the DiC Entertainment years, only Sunbow. We have a pretty good relationship with the company once known as DiC, but have no real relationship with Cookie Jar, so it's not really as simple as giving 'em a call. Doesn't mean it'll never happen. But it does mean that the DiC incarnation of the series will not be included in our complete series set, nor will we be working on those season sets anytime soon.

In addition, G.I. Joe A Real American Hero - Season 1.1 will include both original miniseries.

The bumpers are included. As I mentioned in the Transformers thread and should've mentioned here, there are several episodes in which the episode audio bleeds into the commercial bumper. Rather than attempt a bad sounding audio cut where the bumper would appear, I decided to leave them in.

Not only included in the complete series set, the two miniseries will be the first two discs of the first season set, as well.
As for the movie, I can't really talk about that, yet. Soon.

We're all hoping to put CC and subtitling on all of our titles in the future, especially for things like Transformers and G.I. Joe, but our budget is finite and when the cost of captioning all of the episodes of both titles equals roughly 3/5 of our budget, we have to look at it realistically. As I mentioned in the other thread, we're hoping to find sponsorship for captioning in the future, but haven't secured anything, yet.
