I just got out of the Hasbro seminar and done with my volunteer duties, and before I take pics of the abso-freaking lutely AWESOME Pursuit of Cobra stuff for 2011 (and while I wait for my camera batteries to charge) I wanted to just drop some information about the new animated series coming to The Hub this fall.
These are some notes I jotted down that can be found at the “Read the rest of this entry” link below.
(more…)
So I know today was a pretty quiet day and I kind of shot all my pics up at once at the end…I’m hoping it’ll be different tomorrow.
Just an idea of tomorrow’s rundown and when to expect coverage to start firing up.
The Hasbro seminar is at 11:00am, and goes until 11:50. But then I’ve got to work for the Collectors’ Club from 12:00pm until 1:00pm. The goal is to head back up to the room around 1:00pm and start doing pics and notes from the Hasbro seminar.
Tomorrow we should get a look at G.I. Joe: Renegades, the 2011 Pursuit of Cobra product, and some cool stuff we have NOT seen yet. If you think Joe Con has been mostly the same stuff we’ve seen, don’t worry. More is definitely in the works tomorrow! It’s been a blast so far!
Diligent HissTank forum member BCYOJOE reports in this thread that an official trademark has been submitted by Hasbro under the G.I. Joe: Renegades name. This trademark can be found right here and mentions the following:
“On Wednesday, April 07, 2010, a U.S. federal trademark registration was filed for G.I. JOE RENEGADES. This trademark is owned by Hasbro, Inc., 1027 Newport Avenue, Pawtucket, RI 02862.
The attorney or correspondent listed for G.I. JOE RENEGADES is PAUL N. VANASSE of HASBRO, INC., 1027 NEWPORT AVE, PAWTUCKET, RI 02861-2500 . The G.I. JOE RENEGADES trademark is filed in the category of Toys and Sporting Goods Products , Education and Entertainment Services . The description provided to the USPTO for G.I. JOE RENEGADES is toy action figures; toy vehicles; board games; parlor games.”
So it sounds like the all out blitz may be beginning… get ready for G.I. Joe: Renegades. For better or worse, that sounds like a term we’ll be hearing a lot more of in the future! I only hope that if this is the new animated series, it doesn’t depart TOO much from the awesome Pursuit of Cobra aesthetic, and doesn’t steel retail support away from a more realistic military line. Time will tell. Hopefully we find out more at JoeCon later this week.
Take this as the major rumor that it is, but according to a thread by BCYOJOE on HissTank.com someone posted on Twitter that they’d uncovered a potential name for the upcoming G.I. Joe animated series. The Twitter post was quickly deleted, but the poster had a screenshot. Seems pretty convenient, but you never know.
Hopefully we’ll find out some more information at JoeCon next week! Six days away!
