Next two Pursuit of Cobra Assortments finally ironed out?

by | Feb 2, 2011 | G.I. Joe, G.I. Joe Toys, Pursuit of COBRA

Over the past week we’ve received some conflicting information about upcoming releases from G.I. Joe: The Pursuit of Cobra, but it would appear that things have somewhat ironed out.  Several online retailers including Big Bad Toy Store, Entertainment Earth, and Small Joes have received information from Hasbro that seems to finally confirm what waves 3 and 4 for 2011 will consist of.  This is how it shakes out:
2011 Wave 3 (AKA “Wave 5”)

  • Blowtorch
  • Cobra – The Enemy
  • Cobra Commander
  • General Hawk
  • Jungle B.A.T.
  • Steel Brigade

2011 Wave 4 (AKA “Wave 6”)

  • Snake Eyes Temple Guardian
  • Crazy Legs
  • Croc Master
  • Rock Viper
  • Viper
  • Iron Grenadier

To pre-order, make sure to visit Small Joes, Big Bad Toy Store (wave 3 and wave 4), or Entertainment Earth (wave “5” and wave “6”).  Now, just to get some pictures!  Keep your eyes peeled to GeneralsJoes.com next weekend as I visit New York City and attend the 2011 Toy Fair!

First guest announced for the 2011 G.I. Joe Con

by | Jan 31, 2011 | Comics and Cartoons, G.I. Joe, G.I. Joe 25th Anniversary, G.I. Joe Collectors Club, G.I. Joe Toys

And it’s a good one!  For whatever reason, over the years, the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club hasn’t sought to invite any of the Sunbow voice actors.  Or perhaps they have, they just haven’t landed any.  Well, this year they did, and it’s quite an appropriate one!
Hank Garrett will be landing in Orlando to attend the G.I. Joe Convention!  He’s starred in scores of films and television series, but we all know him as…  Dial Tone!  Quite the appropriate choice, considering the free membership figure and his inclusion in the Special Missions Brazil boxed set.
Keep your eyes peeled for more on GIJoeCon.com, and to get on-the-spot updates like this one, follow the G.I. Joe Con on Twitter.

Big Bad Toy Store goof reveales more 2011 G.I. Joe product?

by | Jan 28, 2011 | G.I. Joe, G.I. Joe Toys, Pursuit of COBRA

So, the listing has since been jettisoned to the archives of internet history, but an eagle-eyed reader on HissTank.com spotted the following information, listed as “G.I. Joe 2011 Series 3“.  The following names are listed among the product:

  • Snake Eyes Temple Guardian
  • Crazy Legs
  • Croc Master
  • Rock Viper
  • Viper
  • Iron Grenadier

Interestingly, none of these listings match up with earlier revealed listings from Diamond, which indicates the Diamond listings are for a later wave, or things are still very much in flux.  So at this point, who knows what’s coming?  I know one thing for sure…we’ll find out more on February 12th when the Hasbro Collector Event at Toy Fair rolls into New York City.  And I’ll be there to get the info.

Sideshow Collectibles 12" Stalker revealed

by | Jan 25, 2011 | 12" Scale, G.I. Joe, G.I. Joe Toys, Sideshow

A couple of days ago when we saw the little sneak peek of the upcoming Stalker from the Sideshow Collectibles line, we could only think of what the final result would be and what sorts of exclusive might be offered.
Well, the Sideshow Production Blog went live today, and revealed the upcoming 12″ Stalker in all of his tiger stripe camouflage glory!  Turns out the exclusive is a knit sweater with camouflage patches.  I’ve seen some folks who weren’t all that excited about it, but I think it’s an awesome addition and will really tie Stalker and Beachhead nicely together as the G.I. Joe “Snake Eaters”.
I’ve mirrored a few images below, but the rest of the fantastic pictures can be found on the Sideshow Collectibles Production Blog.  Yo Joe!
