Good morning!
Just a reminder – Toy Fair 2012 is this weekend, and Hasbro’s showroom tour is happening tomorrow, February 11th! GeneralsJoes will be present and accounted for, and providing coverage throughout the afternoon.
If you don’t follow me on Twitter, I strongly encourage you to do so, as I will be Live Tweeting from the demonstration, which often is several hours prior to images being uploaded. As the evening progresses, I will get images online!
Keep your eyes peeled and follow GeneralsJoes on Twitter for the latest intel from the show.

Just wanted to post up a reminder… Robert Atkins is still accepting votes for his Cobra Commander custom contest over on his Blogspot page! There are a number of great suggestions there with something for everyone.
Modern era, o-ring, even 12″ formats are all represented, which is awesome. Shame on you customizers for not bringing in a Sigma 6 version. :shifty:
In all seriousness, the offerings are all great, Robert is an awesome guy (and an awesome artist) and even if you’re not going to vote, go check out the entries.

I wanted to make sure I had that caveat up in the title of the post. It’s normal practice for Hasbro to have a press release shortly prior to their weekend Fan Event at Toy Fair, just so media outlets get an official notice of what to expect at the show.
Due to that release of images and information last week, there are no real additional details that are G.I. Joe related in this particular release, but just for the sake of being thorough, I’m posting it anyway.
This doesn’t mean that there won’t be anything we haven’t seen already at Toy Fair…there very well may be. Just nothing striking enough for Hasbro to mention in a public press release notification. Click the Read The Rest of the Story link below for the full release.

See, THIS is why fans of a property should be excited about a “movie year” even if they’re not necessarily excited about the movie. When G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra hit theaters, obviously not many folks enjoyed it, but what they didn’t really understand was that the movie release paved the way for a lot of other cool things they may not have gotten otherwise (like G.I. Joe: Resolute, for instance).
Looks like the same could be true this summer! Over on his blog, Disciples of Boltax, Jim Sorenson reveals that he is currently working on a G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero animation model book, with hopes to release it this summer. He reveals that there has been an unusually large number of animation model sheets out there, and seems enthusiastic and optimistic that the book will be chock full of cool things for Joe fans to enjoy.
Transformers fans will likely recognize Sorenson from his work on the various Transformers AllSpark Almanacs and Addendums, and if we get the same attention to detail and presentation as those books offer, this should be a great one to add to your G.I. Joe library!
Check out the blog right here, and also you European fans, Jim Sorenson will be attending Roll Out Roll Call 3, so hit him up there and find out the skinny on his upcoming book. I’m looking forward to it!
