G.I. JOE: A Real American Treasury Edition

Celebrate America’s independence with this special 4th of July Treasury Edition of G.I. JOE! JOE scholar Mark Bellomo scoured the run of ARAH for the most patriotic stories for your Independence Day reading enjoyment, and decided on: Issue #1, “Operation Lady Doomsday “; #82, “Weeding Out”; and finally issue #155, “A Letter from SNAKE EYES.” From the very first introduction of the JOE team to the final issue filled with SNAKE EYES’ response to a teenager thinking of enlisting, this commemorative collection is designed for real American heroes.

Week two of the Fandom in Crisis continues, but the guys from What’s on Joe Mind continue to talk you off the ledge. We bring George and Travis in from the Moderately Geeky Podcast to talk JoeCon and continue to (over?)analyze the G.I. Joe: Retaliation toy intel.
What can we expect to see in New Orleans? Is only having Wave 1 in 2012 the deth of teh line!11!1? Head on over to our Podbean Page to check out the newest episode, or listen to one of the embedded players below.
Folks who have purchased the G.I. Joe: Renegades Season 1, Volume 1 DVD very likely scoffed at the “movie cash” offer on the cellophane just like I did. Well scoff no more! Shogi actually emailed the movie cash folks in regards to the G.I. Joe: Retaliation offer, and received the following reply:
“Thought you guys might like to know this. I emailed emoviecash about the $5 Retaliation code that’s on the Renegades DVD:
Thank you for your DVD purchase!
The theatrical release date of G.I. JOE RETALIATION is now scheduled for March 29, 2013.
Please keep your e-Movie Cash code handy, and come back to this site beginning March 1, 2013.
to redeem your e-Movie Cash Code.
YOUR CODE WILL STILL BE VALID.
When you revisit this site beginning March 1, 2013, you will get to print your e-Movie Cash ticket, which will be valid for $5.00 toward box office admission to G.I. JOE RETALIATION, in theaters March 29, 2013.
Your e-Movie Cash code will be valid from 3/1/13 through 4/30/13.
See G.I. JOE RETALIATION in theaters 3/29/13!
The e-Movie Cash ticket that you will receive will be valid from 3/29/13 through 5/7/13.”
So there ya go! They will continue to honor the movie cash offer, it will just be delayed along with the movie. Thanks to Shogi for the information!
We have to consider this more rumor material, just because there has been no official word from Sideshow Collectibles, only a snippet of art from the introduction to their new Production Peek video.
The production peek itself focuses on the Lord of the Rings product line, but if you squint and look closely at the rotating artwork used for the intro, a nice picture of some potential design ideas for Major Bludd and Destro are present there. Destro looks like he has a pretty new look, complete with his red collar, but with a much better textured shirt. Major Bludd looks like he comes with removable missiles for his backpack as well.
Keep in mind these may just be dead concepts, but it’s still a very cool look into the production process. The video is embedded below, and I’ve also screen grabbed a few images for a better look. Big thanks to the eagle eyes of the Flag Points Podcast Twitter account for noticing this!
