That headline makes me far happier than I care to admit.
After a pre-order showed up on Amazon, I think we all knew this was a done deal, but getting the official press release in my email box still put a big ass smile on my face. Shout! Factory is releasing the complete first season (and thus, the complete series) of G.I. Joe: Renegades on Blu-Ray! Available for the first time (for most folks) in high definition, this collection gathers all 26 episodes of the landmark animated series, which was cut down far too soon.

I just watched the entire series on Netflix, over the past week, and my god was that a mediocre series. Better than Sunbow? Maybe but incredibly unfulfilling in its own right. Bio Vipers (or goo troopers, as I like to call them) are some of the least interesting villains ever in GI Joe, and the series spent way more time with them than say Cobra Commander or Destro. And that insufferable Dr. Mindbender, ugh…
Man, screw those guys. I already bought their half-a-season cash grab DVD set. Part 2 regular DVD set better have whatever bonus features are on the Blu-ray.
Oh praise the gods. Now I don’t have to sacrifice this chicken. Go…be free little “Clucker”.
I’ll have to import this beautiful set.
