In what seems to have been a forever-long wait, Big Bad Toy Store has finally posted pre-orders for the upcoming G.I. Joe: Resolute 7-Packs! Woop! Check out the links below and grab ’em before they’re gone.
Hot Damn! Big thanks to Mysterious Stranger for the heads up!

Also a big hit with many of the collectors were the Resolute 7-Packs, hitting in August/September of 2010. They will be available as online exclusives from the same vendors who offered the Cobra Island 7-Packs. HasbroToyShop may get in on the action as well. The lowdown is as follows:
G.I. Joe
- Beachhead – Looks to have some new tooling with great gear and a very nice representation
- Flint – Similar head, but might even be a new sculpt, plus new webgear and the very familiar shotgun shells on his forearm! Hell yeah… comes with the tactical shotgun we’ve seen down the road.
- Arctic Duke – Looks to come with a new head sculpt and other new trimming to separate him from the 5-pack Jet Pack version. I may be alone, but I love this addition. Now where’s Scarlett??
- Snake Eyes – Deco appears to be much the same as the single packed version, all I can think is that we’ll get some nice new accessories out of this one. Maybe the flight pack that was slated to come with Jungle Storm Shadow?
- Stalker – Tough to tell how elaborate his new head is, but he’s got some great webgear and awesome colors. Can’t wait for this one.
- Roadblock – Same as we’ve seen. And still bad ass.
- Scarlett – We’ve seen her in preproduction form here and there as well, and she looks the same as she did then, too, and is still a very nice rendition of the Resolute character.

COBRA
- Storm Shadow – The same one we’ve seen online, didn’t appear to be many changes
- Alley-Viper – Nice new accessories over the Trooper base figure. Hot damn I need a bunch of these bad boys.
- Firefly – Some nicely done new accessory tooling to give us a very authentic looking Resolute version of the Cobra Saboteur
- Cobra Commander – Hasbro mentioned that he might have a vac metal face mask, but the sample did not… he definitely comes with a new knife to slit the throats of incompetent crimson Troopers. Yay!
- Zartan – Holy crap this one took me by surprise. Great uses of existing parts, with just enough new tooling to knock it out of the park. Impressive.
- Baroness – Uses the same old tooling, but in a new gray and black paint scheme that is much, MUCH improved over the baby blue. Like it a lot.
- Destro – Pretty much what we’ve seen. Which, again, is awesome.

I’m on a tight timeline, so you’ll have to excuse the rushed nature of these images, I promise I will take time to refine, crop, and organize them better as the weekend goes on (when I’m not running close to the wire for catching a train back home).
Until then… here’s what I got.
Resolute Figures
Not much was show on the presentation floor, and we don’t have official press pics yet. Here are Flint, Zartan, and Scarlett:

While obviously still in the very early stages (since voice actors are still just auditioning for the roles), the G.I. Joe animated series is plugging along. Hisstank.com board member Eric Bauza (who is also a veteran voice actor) recently read for the part of Tunnel Rat. If he gets the part, it would be no big stretch, as he also starred as Tunnel Rat in G.I. Joe: Resolute (not to mention did fantastic work as Destro and Storm Shadow as well).
Check out Mr. Bauza’s WikiPedia page here. Always love hearing news about this! Unlike a lot of folks, I don’t think we’ll hear much about this at Toy Fair, since it’s still very early on, but perhaps some info will be available at JoeCon…whereever we find out some details, I’m really looking forward to it. Hopefully it’s closer to G.I. Joe: Resolute than Sigma 6. Don’t get me wrong…there is NO chance this is an ongoing Resolute series, not when it’s being conceived and produced for the channel that was formerly Discovery Kids. But as long as it doesn’t insult the intelligence of the viewers and tries to be a bit more sophisticated than Sigma 6, I’ll give it a watch. Heck, I forced myself through all 26 episodes of Sigma 6, just because it was G.I. Joe based…

It’s probably a bit early to go over this already, considering several sites still haven’t posted their responses, but I did update my Q & A page with all of the replies so far…and as I said with my own answers, Hasbro’s candor was refreshing this time around. Sure, there was a healthy dose of market-talk and beating around the bush, but we actually found some good stuff out as well! These are the highlights that I’ve found on my quick perusal on a Friday night… hit the “Read the Rest of this Entry” link below to get my thoughts on some of the more relevant information from this round…
