At least in my neck of the woods, Sears isn’t a place you normally check to find toys. Because of that, I’m thankful that skywarpped from HissTank.com was perusing Sears.com and stumbled upon some G.I. Joe: Retaliation listings.
Granted, none of the figures are actually in stock yet, but there are a trio of images and some information at the very least. Possibly the coolest part of these listings is the Flash-based magnifying system which really lets you get some nice close up looks at these figures. Definitely check out the listings themselves for all of those nice little details.
See the lack of ankle articulation and permanently affixed Battle Kata in crystal clear HD!

Another day another carded G.I. Joe: Retaliation figure reveal! This time around it’s Snake Eyes.
As someone who has actually gotten his hands on the Retaliation Snake Eyes figure, this is one hell of a cool toy, and I strongly encourage fence-sitters to at least give it a whirl. Great articulation, great design…a very cool figure overall.

Over the past number of days the GIJoe Collectors’ Club has been revealing carded images of upcoming G.I. Joe: Retaliation figures. Well, the latest installment is the G.I. Joe: Retaliation Zartan.
It’s an interesting subject because obviously as we’ve seen, the cards themselves are not at all different, it’s more an exploration of how the figures might look from a more final perspective. The slot in Zartan’s head for the light piping seems to be striking a negative chord with fans, but I don’t mind a whole lot, and I think the idea of glowing eyes is pretty neat.

And it’s a whopper! We had initially scheduled this episode to post an interview with Flint Dille, and we certainly accomplished that…but not only that, we also feature G.I. Joe legend Larry Hama, and G.I. Joe: Operation Red Retrieval masterminds Mark Cheng (director) and Joe Barbagallo (Beachhead). Mark, Joe, and Larry come on the show to make a very special announcement, and you will hear it FIRST right here on the podcast!

Over the weekend, GIJoeClub.com showed the first image of the carded Cobra Commander from the G.I. Joe: Retaliation toyline, and yesterday they also released the first image of G.I. Joe: Retaliation Duke.
I’ll be the first to admit this card “art” is pretty underwhelming, especially considering all of the great package art G.I. Joe has been known for over the years. Hell, even the Rise of Cobra had fantastic painted artwork. Alas, those days are behind us, at least for the moment.

Now that Gary has returned from the UK, things are getting caught up around here, and the result is yet another episode of What’s on Joe Mind! Episode 46 was initially slated to be a “listener mail” episode, and we did cover a lot of that, but we also broke some news, addressed some concerns through our online surveys and still had time to bring in an interview with Zack Hoffman (the voice of Zartan from the Sunbow animated series)!
