A short while ago I posted a breakdown of the unique codes on the back of the Kre-O blind bags to help folks who are looking for a specific figure concealed within those blind bags. The code breakdown was courtesy of HissTank.com and should be very helpful to folks trying to find that fuzzy headed Joe Colton or Quick Kick with authentic FUGEE bar!
I’ve been seeing some folks out there who must have missed the post the first time around, so I’m getting it back out on the front page here. Bookmark this one, boys and girls! Check out the blind bag codes below:
23401 75 Alley Viper
23401 76 Cobra Ninja Viper
23401 77 Cobra Trooper
23401 78 Crimson Guard
23401 79 Cobra Axe Ninja
23401 80 Kim Arashikage (Jinx)
23401 81 Kamakura
23401 82 Quick Kick
23401 83 Rock-N-Roll
23401 84 Scarlett
23401 85 Adventure Team Commander
23401 86 Torpedo
Thanks again to Tron at HissTank.com for the intel.
While the “Ultimate” Flint is still a ways off, we have a Flint available in Wave 2 of the G.I. Joe: Retaliation line. Yes, he’s just a repaint of the version 1 Duke with a new head, but there are some merits to this figure as well. Enough merits to buy this one instead of the upcoming “Ultimate” version?
As March, 2013 nears we can expect G.I. Joe: Retaliation figures to start hitting harder and heavier. Wave 2 has just started blasting across the country, and I’ve begun the review process. First up in the second wave is Storm Shadow.
Not the most auspicious beginning to the Wave 2 reviews, but for better or worse, you can check him out at the G.I. Joe: Retaliation review page, or linked below.
As folks know by now, my coverage of Toy Fair pretty much includes zipping down to New York City, covering the Hasbro event, then zipping back. I did spent a couple of extra fun days in the big city this year, but I still only covered the Hasbro offerings and then came back North.
Thankfully guys like Matt from the Awesome Toy Blog are there for the whole show digging up great G.I. Joe related nuggets! Matt grabbed some great pictures from the Loyal Subjects booth at Toy Fair, showing off some of their awesome classic G.I. Joe mini figures. Check it out at Awesome Toy Blog, and I’ve mirrored just a couple of the images below.
Just a few seconds of new footage where Roadblock informs a hapless recruit that G.I. Joe’s should be “gentlemen”, with a little encouragement from Lady Jaye. Various other action scenes take place showing just how “gentle” G.I. Joe can be.
Though there’s not a whole lot of new footage here there are a few new cuts and a couple of new lines of dialogue. Folks who watch the Walking Dead likely caught this last night on AMC, and now it’s up on YouTube courtesy of Paramount’s official G.I. Joe Movie YouTube channel.
