In an announcement that seems like has taken forever, an Amazon.com listing and TV Shows on DVD confirm that Shout! Factory will be releasing volume one of the first Season of G.I. Joe: Renegades on DVD June 5th!
While not quite the full season Blu-Ray set that many of us were hoping for (a la Transformers Prime) it’s certainly a step in the right direction, and hopefully a sign of more releases still to come.
As of yet there is no package art or episode details, but the Amazon listing mentions 286 minutes of footage, which breaks down to thirteen episodes. Hopefully we’ll hear an even better announcement soon. After watching Transformers: Prime episodes on Blu-Ray, I’m absolutely dying to see G.I. Joe: Renegades in a similar format. But at this point I’ll take what I can get.
Thanks to Captain N for the information!

I’ve heard word that many comic shops didn’t get these issues in this week, so if that’s the case, you may want to turn away, lest have some spoilers heaped upon you. Larry Hama has been exploring this somewhat strange “Blue Ninja” storyline for a while now, and yes, it continues here…but something strange happened. It’s kind of grown on me.
Kind of.

As Robert Atkins is en route to Southampton, England to attend Roll Out Roll Call 3, he has posted a great image of the exclusive print that the folks at RORC 3 plan to have available at the show!
It is an absolutely awesome Red Shadows piece that you can see here, or mirrored below.
Also, Robert is in the midst of a new project, and he needs our help! He is currently working with Quinn Johnson on a pretty neat looking new super hero comic project called Elders of the Runestone, and they have launched a Kickstarter page to help fund it. You can check out the video below, and please, if you can, take a few moments to go to Kickstarter and help fund Robert’s exciting new project.

So for a while I was talking up this fantastic gathering of fellow geek bloggers who had all joined together to form The League of Extraordinary Bloggers, with big thanks to Cool and Collected for headlining the whole thing. Unfortunately the past few weeks have kind of been a whirlwind, especially with the Retaliation figure reveals, so I’d missed out on submitting my tale with the rest of the League. I was a bit bummed, but once I saw this week’s topic, I just knew I had to contribute.
The topic of this week’s League mission is the following:
“What media announcement had you throwing fist pumps and doing roundhouse kicks in the air? Did the final result live up to your dreams?”
Now, as usual, I’ve got a distinct G.I. Joe twist to this one. Click the “Read the Rest of the Story” link below to check it out.

A short while ago I talked up Yetibrew Design’s awesome custom HISS Tank canopies that many collectors seemed eager to get in their hot little hands. Well, Ian over at Yetibrew has been listening to some feedback, and invariably people were asking for an updated HISS canopy that the driver could see through!
Here it is!
The great thing about a small operation is that they take all customer feedback to heart, and Ian did a great job turning this item around so quickly. Check out a small gallery of this new canopy below and hit up Yetibrew to grab yourselves some! The full updated information is quoted below:
“Late last month I was approached by someone who wanted their canopy to have clear windows so I have created two options for collectors who would prefer to have windows instead of the armored look. The first option pertains to the material choices available for the original canopies on Shapeways. Users can now select from several transparent and frosted materials that will allow users to paint around the windows to match color of their tanks. The second option is a two part assembly where the windows are a separate piece which is ordered separately from the canopy frame. As of yesterday, canopy frames are available for both the RAH and 25th Anniversary HISS tanks and the window insert is universal. “
Very cool.
