HissTank is reporting that online retailer (and GeneralsJoes sponsor :shifty: ) BigBadToyStore now has the new classic-themed 5-packs in stock. Priced at $29.99, the G.I. Joe 5-Pack features Hawk, Snake Eyes, Lady Jaye, Flint, and Shipwreck all heavily inspired by their cartoon looks, with a nice allotment of new tooling and new accessories! The COBRA 5-Pack has COBRA Commander, the Baroness, Storm Shadow, Zartan, and the COBRA Viper with the same dose of new gear and new parts.
Most notable in these packs are the fixed tooling on the COBRA Viper arms, the significantly improved Baroness figure, a short-sleeved old-school accurate Flint, plus many other long overdue changes. Great looking new figures from Hasbro!
All right, so I’m not even coming up with a new title this time. Shoot me.
Truth is, things have been pretty tough in my corner of the world lately, at least financially. I lost my Internet access for close to two months, and I apologize for my absence. Of cours, since everyone thinks that Justin rights my articles except for me and (sometimes) Justin, I won’t waste too much time on a subject that’s so maudlin.
Well, first of all…because it’s my site, dammit. :shifty:
In all seriousness… it’s safe to say I’ve been a fan of Marvel cartoons since day 1…actually, Marvel TV shows and movies in general. Channel 56 out of Boston would show a “Creature Double Feature” on Saturdays every weekend, and I would ALWAYS make sure to tune in, because sometimes, just sometimes, they would show the old school 70’s Amazing Spider-Man TV show. Yeah, you know the one.
Buzz about G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA has been noticably silent over the past few months, but with the trailer debuting during the Super Bowl and Toy Fair only a couple of weeks away, that promises to change in a big way. AintItCoolNews.com gets a jump on that today with 5 new posters featuring the characters from the film:
no images were found
I’m remaining cautiously optimistic… err… probably more like cautiously pessimistic about how the film is going to end up, but I’m at least giving it a shot. I do like these posters, though. A somewhat dark and gritty theme. They don’t really “speak” to me, but I think they’re pretty cool looking, at any rate. Hopefully cool enough to entice audiences into the theaters. Time will tell.
Make sure to keep your eyes on GiJoeMovie.com as well, as I’m sure activity will intensify there after the trailer is revealed.
I don’t talk much about Transformers here, what with this being a G.I. Joe page and all (or…well…at least a G.I. Joe and Marvel Animation page recently… :shifty: ) but I ran across this story on TFW2005 and just felt like I had to comment.
Well, that is, if you can consider “NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!” a comment.
