In a week already chock full of G.I. Joe: Retaliation news and information, USA Today comes through with another awesome G.I. Joe onslaught!
Courtesy of USA Today resident geek Brian Truitt, and mere days before the 2012 Toy Fair, we get our first looks at upcoming G.I. Joe: Retaliation action figures. The excellent USA Today article gives us a peek at:
- Roadblock
- Cobra Commander
- Cobra Trooper
- Duke
- G.I. Joe Trooper
- Red Ninja
- Snake Eyes
- Storm Shadow
- Zartan
Upon first glance, it would appear many of these figures are not necessarily movie accurate, but bring a very cool modern style with some classic elements, too. Some more insight after more digestion. Hit up USA Today to check out the entire article! Also be sure to follow Brian Truitt on Twitter to keep all up to date with the latest intel.

While many folks look to Gyre-Viper because of his ability to track items down in China for upcoming new product, one of the best things about what he’s done for the fandom in my opinion is his ability to get access to the old school Real American Hero stuff.
As he prepares to launch the JoeDeclassified podcast, he shares some awesome concept art with me that has never been seen before.
No idea what these are or where they come from, but big thanks to Gyre Viper for sharing this awesome peek into the 80’s or 90’s with us! Check out the mirrored images below.

Shapeways has made custom parts manufacturing very interesting, offering an accessible method of three dimensional printing for part production. As many of you probably know, Yetibrew Designs, which uses Shapeways services, has been making custom G.I. Joe vehicle parts for the Dragonfly and the HISS Tank.
Well, they have just shown a 3D model of their most ambitious product to date…a custom turret for the HISS that is amazing! Check out the image below:

The second image above also uses the Yetibrew Armored HISS canopy as well (which I will be reviewing very shortly)!
Some impressive stuff here, and I’m really excited to see where Yetibrew goes with this. Eager to see what everyone else thinks, and hit up Yetibrew Designs to see his current offerings.

And the hits just keep on coming!
That 10 second snippet from Entertainment Tonight last night barely qualified as a “teaser”, but Jon Chu brings great news to the table! That’s right, you don’t have to wait for Super Bowl Sunday to see the new trailer for G.I. Joe: Retaliation. According to Chu, the trailer will debut on iTunes/Apple trailers TODAY.
A specific time was not given, but trust me, GeneralsJoes will be all over this one. Can’t WAIT!

And no, he still won’t admit to being killed off! He spoke with MTV on camera about the G.I. Joe sequel and opened up a tiny bit about how he thinks it’s going to turn out. To the interviewer’s credit, she tried pretty hard to get him to admit his character wasn’t making it all the way through the film, but Tatum did not bite.
