Man, the first half of the day seemed relatively uneventful, then all hell broke loose! One of the highlights of today’s news for sure was the announcement that Marauder “Gun Runners” Series 6 weapons assortment has been released!
Unfortunately this series has been fraught with production delays, mostly due to the modular components within the series, but thankfully problems have been overcome, and the weapons have been released and are available for purchase. Series 6 comes with a whopping 33 weapons or weapon accessory pieces for full modular action and whatever the focus of your collection is, you should find stuff to love contained within! Check out the links below to pick and choose or buy ’em all!
Hasbro PR has made available the press images for upcoming San Diego ComicCon Exclusive “Shockwave” HISS Tank w/ Destro and Constructicon B.A.T. as well as Kim “Jinx” Arashikage in both her regular red uniform and in the variant white uniform. Along with the press images, we get our first official looks at the box art for Shockwave and the card art for both Jinx figures.
Of note, according to GeneralsJoes Twitter friend Twitziller, the Jinx card art may represent the first time a 25th homage figure was released with “digital” explosion background. Someone feel free to correct us if we’re wrong, but I can’t seem to remember another figure using that.
What’s the saying? It’s always darkest before the dawn? Well, just as all hope was lost with the G.I. Joe: Retaliation push back, Shout! Factory has single-handedly redeemed 2012 for G.I. Joe media, as an Amazon.com pre-order reveals a G.I. Joe: Renegades Complete Season One on BLU-RAY!
For many of us, this will be the first time ever seeing G.I. Joe: Renegades in high definition, and to say I’m excited for this release would be a massive understatement.
For folks who are into the regular DVD format, Amazon has also revealed a Season 1, Volume 2 set as well, to finish off the collection that was released just this week. Both sets are slated for release September 25, 2012.
I was made aware of this by no less than 15 or 20 of my awesome GeneralsJoes faithful today, but first mention came from Twitziller, so full credit to him for making my day!
Thank you very much, Shout! for giving Joe fans something to look forward to this year!
If you’re like me and you visit IDW’s Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow artist Robert Atkins on a regular basis, you no doubt noticed that he’s been a flurry of activity this week! He had some very interesting commission requests, and he’s been posting up pieces of his work over the past several days.
Well over the past couple of days he posted the completed images and they’re pretty incredible. A very eclectic group of characters and some great art by Mr. Atkins as well. This combined commission piece is over FOUR FEET wide. Colorist on the Snake Eyes title Simon Gough as even colored the G.I. Joe half already, and I’ve mirrored both images below.

Along with this, Robert has posted a fantastic commission of Snake Eyes in his Commando uniform! Everyone’s pretty used to seeing the Joe ninja in his visor and skin-tight spandex these days, this is a great departure. Check out that image below.
If you’re not hitting up Robert Atkins’ blog on a regular basis, you really should be. He’s been doing a lot of great Avengers work alongside his G.I. Joe stuff, and with him picking back up on Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow last week, you can bet more G.I. Joe content will be coming.
