I wanted to make sure I had that caveat up in the title of the post. It’s normal practice for Hasbro to have a press release shortly prior to their weekend Fan Event at Toy Fair, just so media outlets get an official notice of what to expect at the show.
Due to that release of images and information last week, there are no real additional details that are G.I. Joe related in this particular release, but just for the sake of being thorough, I’m posting it anyway.
This doesn’t mean that there won’t be anything we haven’t seen already at Toy Fair…there very well may be. Just nothing striking enough for Hasbro to mention in a public press release notification. Click the Read The Rest of the Story link below for the full release.
I know I’ve already linked up the G.I. Joe: Retaliation Movie SuperPage, but I just wanted folks to know that it’s all up to date with all trailers and all screen caps or images that I’ve gathered together so far.
I also just added the G.I. Joe: Retaliation Toys SuperPage, collecting all of the images that we’ve received from Hasbro thus far. I didn’t include the oversized “Ninja Commando” figures or the Role Playing stuff, but all of the 4″ related stuff is there. If there are any major changes you want to see or any alterations that should be made, feel free to let me know. Check out the links below to check them out.
Yes, there was about 4 seconds of new footage, but still some interesting details mixed within those four seconds! We quite possibly got our first on screen look at the Cobra HISS Tank, a better view of Cobra Commander and Firefly, and lots of shots of President Zartan addressing the leaders of the World.
Good stuff!
And yes, as the movie gets closer, expect me to dive into and pick apart every minute detail. I’m a little OCD like that, sorry. Check out the screen caps below.
Thanks to the Daily Blam for reporting that the French trailer for upcoming G.I. Joe motion picture sequel actually has some NEW footage, and some impressive new footage to boot! Great close up of the Ripsaw Tank, an extended scene with Cobra Commander and the President… WOW.
Halloween is still a long ways away, but Disguise Costumes has already revealed a hefty section of G.I. Joe: Retaliation themed costumes and accessories. Included in this run are various Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Jinx, and Roadblock items.
Check out the section right here, and I’ve mirrored the images below. A big thanks to Dave Tree from All the Cool Stuff for the information, and I’m totally putting my 2 year old in one of those Snake Eyes toddler costumes this year.
Guarantee the divorce will be shortly thereafter. It’ll be worth it.
During the frenzy of reveals for the G.I. Joe: Retaliation movie toys late last week, one thing that many folks latched on to was the header up above that said “Coming Soon! 14 more movie line items to be revealed…”
Well, today the GIJoeMovie Twitter account posted a link to the Retaliation reveal, and the next now reads “Coming Soon! 16 more movie line items to be revealed…”. Yes, in the grand scheme of things, two is a pretty small number, but for folks desperately hoping for more movie accurate figures like Joe Colton, Flint, Lady Jaye, etc… you now have two extra spots to work with.
Time will tell if we’ll see any of these 16 items at Toy Fair. I’ll be on the scene this weekend to keep you in the loop!
