Considering October is fast approaching, I was starting to wonder a bit about when we’d start hearing more official news about the Hub in general, and G.I. Joe: Renegades specifically. Turns out that time is now.
During an advertiser upfront, the Hub officially announced their initial slate of animated programming, including G.I. Joe: Renegades, and MediaWeek.com even debuted a shot of Duke that we all saw at the Convention in Providence 2 weeks ago. A pity it’s so small.
Information about G.I. Joe: Renegades is as follows:
“G.I. Joe Renegades” (Hub Original Series)
This action-packed animated series goes back to basics with the origins of G.I. JOE, the world’s most elite fighting force, and their evil nemesis, the Cobra organization. Witness the emergence of the heroic G.I. JOE team as a cadre of highly-trained specialists who are forced to band together to prevent the nefarious forces of Cobra from achieving global domination. Produced by Hasbro Studios.”
Current hypothesis is that Cobra is a large, worldwide organization, and the G.I. Joe team is on the run. Promising lots of cameos, adult-themed plots and action, G.I. Joe: Renegades could potentially be the animated series that the fans have been waiting for, which will please us, but also be approachable to the kids.
The Hub is slated to launch October 10th, 2010, and one would imagine G.I. Joe: Renegades would launch alongside the channel’s debut. For a full transcript of the Press Release with all of the gory details click the “Read the rest of this entry” link below, or find it right here.

Yeah, I think “assload” applies. Gyre-Viper got a hold of quite the array of test shots for upcoming items, and produced an mysterious tale of suspense and intrigue… what happens when Token-Viper dares turn on the Cobra cabal?
Find out which Joes are behind enemy lines… and ask yourself why the hell is Duke wearing a parka in the middle of a steaming jungle? Check out the images at HissTank.com, or also mirrored below.

With big thanks from HissTank.com forum member Monkeywrench for reminding me that my Resolute characters page was woefully out of date. I hadn’t updated it since the cast of characters from the Resolute 7-packs were revealed.
Well, that’s been fixed with picture galleries of every Resolute character who appeared in the feature, and what their respective toy looks like. Check out the Resolute SuperPage right here, and don’t forget, it’s easily linked underneath the SuperPages drop down menu up above as well.

So did you miss the Convention in Rhode Island a couple of weeks ago? Did you forget to order your Homefront Heroes set, or did you just want to stock up on some stuff you could only buy in Providence?
Well, no worries… the GIJoeClub store still has some items left over from JoeCon 2010 in their Club Store. Check out the links below to pick up items that you might have missed otherwise.
These are available in very limited numbers, so don’t wait too long. A few convention items are already sold out, and this might be one of the last opportunities we have to pick up o-ring tooled product. Check ’em all out at the G.I. Joe Club Store.
