The always dependable Black Sheep Toy Store has posted a handful of auctions for upcoming product, and very cool product at that. The links are below…I haven’t posted a gallery, because the images are all ones we’ve seen before, but the auction links are below:
Man…these are some awesome looking figures. I know there’s been a lot of movie bashing going around, but every one of those above toys really kicks ass, in my opinion. I’m still trying to figure out how I’m going to get my hands on a half dozen of those 3-piece suit Destro figures. I could find lots of uses for that one.
Thanks to HissCommander of The Terror Drome for the intel.

Well, thanks to Jeff Bohn stumbling on it yesterday, and letting GeneralsJoes break the news, the DeviantArt floodgates have opened. Jeff also found the page belonging to Joaquin Dos Santos, who, in turn led to several other artists who worked on the project, and a whole wealth of awesome looking concept art, backgrounds, and storyboards are up there for the enjoyment of all! Unfortunately I haven’t been able to uncover any character turnarounds or designs, which is what I’m really after, but damn, this is some COOL stuff right here. I’ve broken it all down into galleries below, but PLEASE check out everyone’s DeviantArt page and lavish huge praise on them. The “look” of Resolute was one of the best things about it, so these artists deserve a mountain of credit for breathing life into our favorite plastic men and women. Check out the shots at the “Read the rest of this Entry” link below, you do NOT want to miss these:

G.I. Joe: Resolute concept artist extraordinaire Dave Johnson has posted ten images of various backdrop concepts that were used in the Resolute animated feature. Check them out in his DeviantArt page here, and they’re also mirrored below.
Awesome, AWESOME stuff. I only hope we see some character turnarounds at some point, too!

In what was hopefully a very pleasent surprise to Hasbro executives and Adult Swim, the online videos for G.I. Joe: Resolute have surpassed one million viewers. Honestly I’m not even sure what expectations are or what’s considered “good” but damn if that’s not a lot of folks checking out G.I. Joe: Resolute.
Let’s keep that number jumping! I know we’ve all seen it by now, but it’s a great feature. I’m going to keep viewing on a daily basis to drive those numbers up…I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Hasbro and Adult Swim are watching those numbers closely to get a guage of how popular this thing is. Let’s drive it through the roof.
Click and watch!

We’ve all seen the Wal-Mart product listing, and we’ve heard the rumors, and even seen the bootleg images, but for the first time, actually pictures of the carded 2-packs coming for Wal-Mart have emerged on HissTank.com.
The fans were very concerned about upcoming movie product, as they were worried it would push aside their beloved vintage homages, but it would appear at least some of those fears were unfounded. Between the upcoming Armored Panther w/ Thunder, the RHINO w/ Rampage, the vehicle packs, and the 7-Packs, it would appear even the most ardant vintage fans will have plenty of product to choose from. These 2-packs are offering even more nice items with some great looking Night Force homages as well as a Resolute Gung Ho.
Check out the images mirrored below.
