Yes, there was about 4 seconds of new footage, but still some interesting details mixed within those four seconds! We quite possibly got our first on screen look at the Cobra HISS Tank, a better view of Cobra Commander and Firefly, and lots of shots of President Zartan addressing the leaders of the World.
Good stuff!
And yes, as the movie gets closer, expect me to dive into and pick apart every minute detail. I’m a little OCD like that, sorry. Check out the screen caps below.
Thanks to the Daily Blam for reporting that the French trailer for upcoming G.I. Joe motion picture sequel actually has some NEW footage, and some impressive new footage to boot! Great close up of the Ripsaw Tank, an extended scene with Cobra Commander and the President… WOW.
Halloween is still a long ways away, but Disguise Costumes has already revealed a hefty section of G.I. Joe: Retaliation themed costumes and accessories. Included in this run are various Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Jinx, and Roadblock items.
Check out the section right here, and I’ve mirrored the images below. A big thanks to Dave Tree from All the Cool Stuff for the information, and I’m totally putting my 2 year old in one of those Snake Eyes toddler costumes this year.
Guarantee the divorce will be shortly thereafter. It’ll be worth it.
During the frenzy of reveals for the G.I. Joe: Retaliation movie toys late last week, one thing that many folks latched on to was the header up above that said “Coming Soon! 14 more movie line items to be revealed…”
Well, today the GIJoeMovie Twitter account posted a link to the Retaliation reveal, and the next now reads “Coming Soon! 16 more movie line items to be revealed…”. Yes, in the grand scheme of things, two is a pretty small number, but for folks desperately hoping for more movie accurate figures like Joe Colton, Flint, Lady Jaye, etc… you now have two extra spots to work with.
Time will tell if we’ll see any of these 16 items at Toy Fair. I’ll be on the scene this weekend to keep you in the loop!
I know the prevailing wisdom from the fandom in the days after the G.I. Joe: Retaliation figure reveals is one of doom and gloom. Reduced articulation on the handful of driver figures automatically means “deth of teh line” right?
I don’t think so.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m plenty annoyed with the articulation reduction in the vehicle drivers as well, but that doesn’t mean the entire line is doomed for failure. I’m taking this moment to reveal my “Top 5 Reasons to look forward to G.I. Joe: Retaliation toys”. The purpose here isn’t to artificially inflate the coolness of the driver figures, or to gloss over the fact that Hasbro felt it necessary to go in that direction, but instead bring a focus onto the good things that might be hitting shelves this spring.

Among the crazy toy news late last week, a new image was released by Paramount for the upcoming G.I. Joe movie sequel. Featuring Bruce Willis as Joe Colton, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as Roadblock, and Adrianne Palicki as Lady Jaye, this image comes right on the heels of the release of the Super Bowl TV spot.
