GeneralsJoes G.I. Joe: Resolute Reviews – BONUS!

by | Jul 27, 2010 | G.I. Joe, G.I. Joe Reviews, G.I. Joe Toys, G.I. Joe: Resolute, G.I. Joe: Resolute Reviews, GeneralsJoes Review A Rama

Okay, I have a confession to make.  I love these Resolute toys.  I really, really, REALLY love these Resolute toys.  I know everyone labels me a Hasbro fanboy anyway, so that probably comes as no surprise to anyone, but my love for these Resolute toys goes beyond my normal love for the normal cool toys.
While I am fired up for the Pursuit of Cobra items and I love what I’m seeing there, too, for some reason the look and feel of G.I. Joe: Resolute just has me on cloud nine.  It’s a little bitter sweet, because I’m not sure we’ll ever see anything else from this awesome Resolute universe, but if this is it, it’s a great last stand.
Granted, there were aspects of the Resolute story that certainly were not perfect, but the big drawing point were the designs, and seeing those designs translated into 3 3/4″ plastic form is absolutely awesome.  So, of course, since I’m so ramped up, I couldn’t just stop at two reviews posted today…  here are FOUR more.  These are all linked at the G.I. Joe: Resolute Reviews Page, or you can check them out individually below:

So that’s a total of eight of the fourteen figures…  I might even get the last six posted tomorrow.  But I don’t want to shortchange my “Review-A-Rama” too much!
Anyway, check ’em out above.

More fleshed out details on the Cobra HISS v.5 at JoeDios

by | Jul 26, 2010 | G.I. Joe, G.I. Joe Toys, Pursuit of COBRA

JoeDios administrator Hammerfel has posted an update on his site with some more words of wisdom from G.I. Joe uber-designer John Warden, whom he had a chance to talk with at SDCC this past weekend.  The conversation centers mostly on the Pursuit of Cobra HISS v.5 with some great insight from one of the guys who was behind it’s design!
One of the more interesting snippets is the following:

“One of the things he asked me to pass on to the Joe Community is that he has been watching the reaction to the color of the current HISS tank and wanted to assure us all that future releases of that mold will come in classic BLACK(and I would guess other colors as well). He was eager to get the word out, so spread it far and wide!”

With the Canadian JoeCon coming up shortly, the exclusive figures are finally getting revealed!  The first figure shown in this year’s set is Cobra Sky-Tech Trooper, “Snake Byte”!
A fantastic combination of parts, this character is an integral part of the Canadian JoeCon universe, who’s background will be fully explored in the exclusive comic book.  He’s a great looking figure that blends very well with other Canadian Cobra figures that we’ve gotten so far.
