Okay, Resolute has aired in its entirety both through adultswim.com and on the station itself last night. It promises to be fully online tomorrow, so show your support by watching it over and over again! Now while I think the Resolute concept and the look of the show was pretty much my favorite rendition of G.I. Joe to date, it wasn’t perfect. I’ll start off with the ten things I didn’t love, but have no fears, there will be an extensive list of things I loved as well. 🙂

Some scattered auctions on TaoBao have revealed some mysterious new test shots of potential upcoming or existing figures that are a bit of a head-scratcher. There are a couple of straight forward ones, like the Rise of COBRA Destro, various Storm Shadows, etc.. but we appear to have a brand new Flash or Grand Slam (with different lower legs) and a bizarre ninja-amalgamation of Storm Shadow parts and other randomness.
Check out the auctions here, and check out the gallery below. Thanks to HissCommander of the TerrorDrome for the info!

Black Sheep Toy Store has expanded his stock from Rise of COBRA to Resolute and Defense of COBRA Island as he added a wealth of potentially upcoming figures to his eBay store. Many of the items seen at HissTank a few days ago are now up for auction with nice, big pictures. Of course those images will be mirrored below.
Check out the G.I. Joe section of his eBay store here.

After what seems like forever, G.I. Joe: Resolute will wrap up its long and rocky road tonight, one way or another. Airing on Adult Swim tonight at midnight as a full 60 minute feature, AdultSwim.com promises the episodes will be online shortly thereafter.
The final ten minutes aired on Teletoon in Canada last night, and of course, the footage has already made the YouTube rounds. To avoid spoilers, I’ll embed the video after the break.
Honestly, the finale didn’t rock my world. I always had a suspicion that the 60 minute time limit and “short burst” episodes might end up hurting the “flow”, and I think I was right. The final culmination of this story didn’t feel very final, and didn’t have a real “impact”, and I think most of that is due to the limitations of episode length.
Still, I’m thrilled to finally see the series air in its entirety, and best of all, this animated feature has led the way to some fantastic looking toys. At any rate, watch Adult Swim tonight, check out adultswim.com on Monday, show your support for Resolute! Do whatever you need to do… write your congressman, harass Hasbro, pester Cartoon Network. Let them know how much you loved Resolute and how much you demand to see more. It wouldn’t hurt to watch the footage on Adult Swim.com a few thousand times as well. 😉

Wow. HissTank is scoring a coup today with a bunch of great pictures of some upcoming items including some never-seen-before Resolute themed action figures and some better images of Rise of COBRA figures we’ve seen before. Lots of gear is visible, and as always, the Resolute figures are absolutely blowing my mind. Check the links below for all of the picture goodness:
I just can’t stop drooling over those Resolute figures… wow. Amazing stuff.
