The fine folks with Hasbro Public Relations have posted the press images from the G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary and Kre-O reveals today. Check them out below, and I’ll break things down more in a moment:
EDIT – Looking at the image names, it would appear that the standard version of the VAMP MK II with Flint just may be a San Diego ComicCon Exclusive!
G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary
G.I. Joe Kre-O
My partners in crime over at YoJoe have posted a series of images from the show room floor at Toy Fair 2014 including more images of upcoming G.I. Joe Kre-O sets!
Check out the photo gallery right here!
Wow. Wow wow wow!
As much as I’ve loved the G.I. Joe Kre-O stuff to date, what they’re showing in the show room at Toy Fair this year is just incredible! Look at that Terror Drome! The Firebat, the Skyhawk… Serpentor?! Good grief some amazing stuff coming for Kre-O fans this year.
HISSTank.com has been on the ball with posting their images, and I’ve mirrored some of their images below. Hit them up directly for the details.
Over on their Facebook page, the G.I. Joe Collectors Club has started posting press images of the upcoming G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary product!
Check out the gallery right here and make sure you “Like” their Facebook page while you’re at it.
The Press Images will be widely available tonight, so I’m not going to mirror those images, you can find them at this link.
Suffice it to say, we are getting concept case Destro and Leatherneck, Lady Jaye, and HEAT Viper, but at the same time we’re getting re-releases of a standard color Blowtorch (for the third time, really?!), PoC General Hawk and Low Light.
I will say the Cobra Wolf with Ice Viper is an exceptionally great surprise. WOW!
Anyway, check out the images right here.
The real issue I have watching Toy Fair from afar is that it’s tough for me to grasp all of the information from all of the different places without having my own personal perspective.
As such, I’ll direct to a few different sources for current information.
What we know right now is that we are getting G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary 2 Packs and 3 Packs along with vehicles as Toys “R” Us Exclusives this year. According to HISSTank.com this is what we can expect:
Two Packs
Three Packs (Unconfirmed)
Vehicles
Also, according to HISSTank staff on hand, the figures shown are the concept case figures! That’s right, both Destro and Leatherneck are the same amazing figures from the Concept Case last year, and HEAT Viper apparently from the year before. Lady Jaye and Flint are also likely pulled from that year’s case.
This is… well… pretty freaking amazing news. But it doesn’t stop there. The G.I. Joe Kre-O love continues as well:
News reports come courtesy of JoeBattleLines.com, HISSTank, Toy News International, and from the awesomly insane Twitterati everywhere.
Press photos should be available tonight, and you’d better believe I’ll be all over that business!
Along with the blockbuster news of a G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary series of 2 Packs, 3 Packs, and Vehicle Packs, Hasbro also confirmed that G.I. Joe Kre-O would continue at Toys “R” Us this year. And not just continue, but explode!
We are getting 24 new mini figures, as well as a Cobra Terror Drome with 856 pieces and SIX Kre-Ons!
The new mini figures include Nunchuk Atomi Man, Scrap Iron, Lowlight, Doc, Night Creeper, Torch, Budo, Nemesis (Enforcer?!), Zartan, Snow Serpent, Cobra Eel, and Chuckles (among others).
Information has been pouring in from Twitter, Toy News International, and HISSTank.com.
