Quite a whirlwind day today at the Hasbro Toy Fair event as usual, but with a bunch of very cool G.I. Joe: Retaliation stuff revealed! Here is a quick image dump of various items that were on display today at Toy Fair. I will be working throughout the night tonight to refine and get a much more organized, cohesive look at the upcoming G.I. Joe: Retaliation toys.
Enjoy this quick slam of images, and keep your eyes peeled to GeneralsJoes as I rotate images, organize them, and plan on getting the Retaliation toy SuperPage completely updated for Toy Fair!

Just in time for my drive to New York City tomorrow for Toy Fair… Episode 41 of What’s on Joe Mind is now online! Join us as we combine forces with StarJoes and discuss all the latest and greatest G.I. Joe news and information swirling around cyberspace.
StarJoes turns the tables on us a bit and we spend some time in the interview chair, all while talking G.I. Joe: Retaliation and making way too many jokes about the Super Bowl Champions (in Nicaragua, anyway). Check out the latest episode on our Podbean site, or hit up the embedded player below.
Show Notes
How many Patriots jokes can we fit into one episode? We give it our best shot this time as we do our second ever crossover episode, this time with the Ryan and Chuck from the Star Joes Podcast! Now you all have met Chuck before, so this time we get to meet Ryan and learn a little bit more about him and the chemistry between he and Chuck that makes Star Joes a podcast that you should listen to – immediately after our show of course, shameless plug not withstanding. Much of the first half of the show is run by Ryan as we have a mini Star Joes episode including the WOJM guys into their regular show segments. In the second half we are joined by Craig from the Fwooshcast once more and we revert back to WOJM mode starting first with the mailbag where we get an update from our favorite active duty Marine, Will Bell. Will’s tour is now complete and he is home from Afghanistan, but that is not the full story. We also read and answer a letter from Vince who asks how do we feel about being the unofficial voice of the hobby and whether or not we use our respective show powers for what is good and right or use our voices as a bully pulpit to forward any agendas we might have. In the news, we talk about the new Movie 2 toys and the new Movie 2 trailers that we saw during the Super Bowl and we begin to look toward Toy Fair in New York City, home of the World Champion Giants. Trailers, Toys and a beaten Tom Brady. Join us and the fellas from Star Joes…oh, AND Craig too; all on this episode of WOJM! How ’bout them Patriots!?

If you’re anything like me, you’re absolutely dying for G.I. Joe: Retaliation news or info. Well, next week we should be getting our first look at the G.I. Joe: Retaliation universe courtesy of IDW’s prequel series, which hits comic stores on Wednesday.
If you’re impatient like I am, good news! Comics Alliance has posted the five-page preview to the series, which catapults you right into a air battle between G.I. Joe and the Red Ninjas! This initial adventure apparently takes place “several years ago…” I do sincerely hope the entire 4-issue limited series doesn’t take place “several years ago” because I was hoping for some bridging between Rise of Cobra and Retaliation. I guess time will tell.
I won’t mirror all the images here, instead you should hit up Comics Alliance for the awesome preview, and be sure to get to your local comic store on Wednesday to buy the full issue and start your G.I. Joe: Retaliation adventures!

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.

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.

I know I’ve already linked up the G.I. Joe: Retaliation Movie SuperPage, but I just wanted folks to know that it’s all up to date with all trailers and all screen caps or images that I’ve gathered together so far.
I also just added the G.I. Joe: Retaliation Toys SuperPage, collecting all of the images that we’ve received from Hasbro thus far. I didn’t include the oversized “Ninja Commando” figures or the Role Playing stuff, but all of the 4″ related stuff is there. If there are any major changes you want to see or any alterations that should be made, feel free to let me know. Check out the links below to check them out.
