JOE movie won?t hit theaters until August 2009, but you don't need to wait until then to see the stars from the movie cast as G.I. JOE characters. G.I. JOE invented the action figure category 45 years ago, and the movie-line 3-3/4-inch action figures continue this great legacy. All figures are sculpted to match their on-screen counterparts, including Sienna Miller as BARONESS, and Channing Tatum as DUKE.

JOE MOVIE PIT PLAY SET (Approximate retail price: $99.99; Ages: 4 & up; Available: Summer 2009) Prepare for battle in the first-ever play set that recreates the fortress headquarters for G.I. JOE. Known throughout the G.I. JOE comics, animated series and now live-action movie as the underground command center of the G.I. JOE team, The Pit serves as the characters? training facility, living quarters and heavy equipment storage facility. The state-of-the-art expandable multi-level play set is equipped with sounds, an elevator and much more. It even includes an exclusive 3-3/4-inch General Hawk figure (not obtainable anywhere else) to begin the recruitment of your very own G.I. JOE team. G.I. JOE MOVIE VEHICLES CLASS A (Approximate retail price: $15.99; Ages: 4 & up; Available: Summer 2009) These are the smallest and most covert of the G.I. JOE vehicles made for the 3-3/4-inch movie figures.

G.I. JOE MOVIE VEHICLES CLASS B (Approximate retail price: $24.99; Ages: 4 & up; Available: Summer 2009) This collection recreates the larger vehicles from the upcoming G.I. JOE movie. Each represents the most technologically advanced vehicles in the G.I. JOE vs. COBRA arsenal and is equipped with a hidden reveal weapons system. Designed to traverse a wide range of terrains, each vehicle comes with an action figure to help steer your squadron to victory. G.I. JOE MOVIE NIGHT RAVEN VEHICLE (Approximate retail price: $39.99; Ages: 4 & up; Available: Summer 2009) Based on the iconic jet from the 1980s and playing a big role in the upcoming movie, the COBRA NIGHT RAVEN comes fully loaded, with an array of engines, weapons, lights and sounds. The largest vehicle in the entire new G.I. JOE vehicle series, this jet also features a pump action "Lock and Load" system that readies the missiles for attack. Manning the controls in this ultimate G.I. JOE movie vehicle is a 3-3/4-inch Air-Viper figure. G.I. JOE MOVIE 12-INCH NINJA FIGURES (Approximate retail price: $22.99; Ages: 4 & up; Available: Summer 2009) With all the stealth of a ninja come the 12-inch versions of SNAKE EYES and STORM SHADOW, two of the most feared and respected characters in the G.I.

G.I. JOE MOVIE 12-INCH CHARACTER FIGURES (Approximate retail price: $15.99; Ages: 4 & up; Available Summer 2009) Inspired by the original 12-inch G.I. JOE figures from the 60s and 70s, the 12-inch movie character figures are highly articulated and feature weapons and apparel that match the characters from the film. G.I. JOE MOVIE ACCELERATOR SUIT DUKE (Approximate retail price: $69.99; Ages: 5 & up; Available: Summer 2009) This unique figure captures the spirit of the G.I. JOE team leader and all of the technology needed to fight the COBRA forces. The ACCELERATOR SUIT DUKE figure comes equipped with the armored accelerator suit that DUKE wears during a soon-to-be-classic scene from the upcoming G.I. JOE movie. When activated using an easy hand grip control, DUKE simulates his accelerator running motion, with motorized head, torso and arm movements as well as lights and speech with more than 50 phrases.

and for the NIght Raven to be priced at $40? damn. no wonder i preferred something more like Chap Mei or Lanard.

I'm sure I'll get some of the figs and at least the Mold Pod; but I'm not seeing anything just balls-to-the-walls awesome here at all. I don't really even get that much of a sense of excitement from Hasbro, kinda like they're only doing the line because they're obligated to because of the movie's existence, not the other way around.
