Well, it’s officially 2012 here on the East Coast and officially “G.I. Joe: Retaliation year”!
That’s right, from here on out, I can say “when G.I. Joe: Retaliation hits theaters this year”… I know, I’m a freaking geek.
As I look over where the site was at the beginning of 2011 and where things are now, I can’t help but extend a warm and gracious “thank you” to everyone who finds time in their busy schedules to read my prattling about little plastic men. I receive emails, Tweets, comments, and messages from folks who are often way kinder than I deserve, and I sincerely thank you.
2011 has been great…it’s been a wild ride, but something tells me we’re in for even better times over the next 12 months. I look forward to sitting in the roller coaster next to you all. Bring on G.I. Joe: Retaliation!

Okay, time for me to be honest. I really don’t give a crap about zombie stories. Interestingly, I did find myself captivated by The Walking Dead, but I think that was more character and story driven rather than specifically zombie driven.
When IDW announced they were doing a mega cross-over event featuring zombies, I really wasn’t all that enthralled. When they claimed it would all happen in continuity and somehow make sense…well, that got me at least a little bit interested.
So now we’ve gotten Infestation #1, and now G.I. Joe: Infestation #1. How are the end results?

Wow, this is one beautiful looking Cobra Commander, at least what can be seen.
However, I’ll never own it. While the Premium Format Figures look absolutely fantastic, to the best of my knowledge, they are essentially statically posed statues in hand-crafted clothing. An awesome display piece, to be sure, but I prefer to have my toys move.
If you’re into that sort of thing, though, this looks like one hell of a first entry into the format for Sideshow. Check it out right here, or click on the image below. If other premium format figures are a measurement, expect to drop close to 300 bones on this guy.

As we stand on the eve of The Hub announcing Season 2 renewals, a critical Presidents Day marathon appears to have given G.I. Joe: Renegades a nice bump in the ratings, which will hopefully push it closer to renewal.
The Hub announced today double digit increases in ratings for their G.I. Joe: Renegades “Don’t Fade” marathon, which aired for 3 hours on Presidents’ Day. This is a good sign for the program, and hopefully will provide the additional incentive to get it renewed for a second season.
