We’ve seen this poster before…well kind of, anyway. It was originally revealed as a Brazilian movie poster last year, but has been updated for domestic release, with the addition of the “3D” designation, and the addition of a little Tatum mushed between Snake Eyes and Joe Colton on the top row.
This would certainly lend some credibility to the idea that the film will put a bit more attention on Duke, and likely will not kill him as was initially rumored. Check out both the original and the new poster below. Thanks to Entertainment News International for the heads up.

And kudos to him for obliging the Club’s request to keep the surprise! RagingSpoon over on HissTank.com is reporting that he has received his first installment of the Figure Subscription Service figures!
The G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club requested in the beginning that folks who receive these figures not announce who they are so the surprise can be maintained for others, and RagingSpoon is complying with that request. However, collectors should start watching their mailboxes, because they are inbound.
See the thread on HissTank.com.

Well, color me surprised. This one certainly came out of left field, but according to the Hot Toys Community Facebook group, Hot Toys has the G.I. Joe: Retaliation license for 2013. Hot Toys makes premium action figures in the 12″ scale, and I’ve spent quite a bit of time lamenting the fact that I can’t afford the excellent Avengers figures that have been coming out throughout 2012.
I may have to rethink some of my financial priorities going into 2013…these could be some insanely cool toys. These 12 inch figures typically retail for anywhere from $150 – $200 and have amazing actor likenesses and some incredibly uniform and accessory detail.
Big thanks to Todd from Kokomo Toys for the heads up. Check out the confirmation for yourself right here.
EDIT – Be aware this is just a Hot Toys fan page, this has not been officially confirmed as of yet. They seem to have their finger on the pulse of Hot Toys releases, so I think the information is still solid, but don’t take this as official confirmation.
EDIT #2 – The Image on Facebook apparently comes from the “Hot Toys Holiday Book” which is an official publication from Hot Toys, which means this information can be considered official.
Thanks to Jay Cochran on Twitter and EopieHerder on Twitter for educating my Hot Toys deficient mind on the particulars. I can assure everyone I’ll get much more educated on them in the coming months. 🙂

We’ve all received the emailed status updates about the Figure Subscription Service, but we now have our first actual report of a shipping notice received!
GeneralsJoes Twitter friend OB1Knobby reports that he has gotten notification from Fed Ex that the first installment for the FSS will arrive at his home on Thursday. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first confirmed shipping notice received for an FSS shipment.
Start watching those mailboxes! We will soon discover who the first two figures shipped are. Huge thanks to OB1Knobby for the heads up.
