I always enjoy it when a G.I. Joe: Retaliation star has another movie coming out, because that opens the door for some interviews, and in this case, while promoting Red Dawn, Ms. Palicki spoke with Crave Online, who touched on the G.I. Joe: Retaliation delay.
“When G.I. Joe: Retaliation got delayed, did you think, “Here we go again?”
[Laughs] Yes, it’s the third movie that’s done that to me. Legion as well was like two years after or something. Yes, but in that case G.I. Joe’s different because it was coming out within a year that we wrapped. It was coming out super early so now it actually makes more sense when it’s coming out and they’re going to convert it to 3D which I think will make the movie much, much better but I definitely don’t have the same fear with G.I. Joe.
Do you have to reshoot anything for G.I. Joe?
Not as of now, no.”
And really, that’s it. No ground breaking news… but clearly it’s Adrianne Palicki’s fault that G.I. Joe: Retaliation was delayed…seems to be an epidemic around her!

Hasbro has made it pretty clear throughout the year that they have no intention of setting up a booth at the New York Comic Con. They seem pretty adamant that SDCC is where they want to make their convention presence known, but I think some folks were holding out hope that perhaps something would turn around and Hasbro just might show up in New York City next week.
Well, Jay from Marvelous News has reached out to Hasbro, and they confirmed that while they are doing seminars for Transformers and My Little Pony, there will not be a Hasbro booth at the show, there will be no special exclusives, and no product shown during the Convention itself.
But don’t despair yet, Joe fans.
Jay also reports (and I can confirm, as I also received notification of this) that even though Hasbro will not have a booth at NYCC, there will be an event prior to the show revealing some previously unseen product for Transformers, Kre-O, Star Wars, Marvel, and… yes… G.I. Joe. This event will be the evening of October 10th, which is next Wednesday.
Should we expect to see a lot of new stuff? No, probably not, but just the fact that we might see some previously unrevealed G.I. Joe items is reason enough to celebrate and look forward to next week.
Unfortunately I will be in Las Vegas for business, so I cannot make the show myself, but I will live vicariously through Jay, and through the other sites that will likely be covering the event. Can’t wait to see what shows up! Check out the post on Marvelous News for a little more detail.

Agent Mouse was last week… and this week it’s Sgt. Airborne! Built upon the foundation of the unreleased Data-Viper with some 30th Anniversary Law & Order thrown in, there is a lot of new stuff to love with this figure.

G.I. Joe has been around for three decades, and the online community has been thriving for over twelve years, so it’s amazing to think that in all that time there are still some very cool new concepts to explore in the G.I. Joe mythology.
GeneralsJoes Twitter friend Dan Uthman announces that he has launched GIJoeGraphy.com a site devoted to the history of the G.I. Joe characters we all know and love. Where did they come from? He includes a massive map outlining the birthplaces of your favorite Joe characters, and also dives into some key places that should be familiar to all of us.
Check out GIJoeGraphy.com, it’s sure to be a really fun resource for G.I. Joe intel. Big thanks to Dan for the heads up, and be sure to catch his announcement on the Flag Points podcast.

The whole concept of a scene that spans multiple covers is something that I’ve really loved. I can only imagine the challenge involved for an artist in making that kind of scene work. It’s because of this that I find what Robert Atkins is doing over on his blog so fascinating.
He’s really laying out step-by-step what is going into his work on the covers for the series of G.I. Joe and Cobra issues soon to be released from IDW. He is building a very cool looking scenario featuring a number of different characters in a number of different situations, yet making it all blend together quite nicely.
Check out his progress post right here (where he goes through the first two covers) and make sure you keep checking back as I’m sure he’ll post cover #3 as soon as he is able. Very cool stuff from Robert Atkins.

Any episode that features Chuck and Kevin talking about tasteful nudity is bound to be a legendary one, and this episode delivers. The guys talk to Jim Sorenson, author of the fantastic G.I. Joe Field Manual, and then proceed to put him through a miserable 2 hours of off topic rambling, Gangnam Style free-style rapping, and yes, tasteful nudity.
Jim took it like a champ, and the episode ends up running the gamut, talking about the New Jersey Collectors Convention, Kevin’s excellent Metalhead figure, as well as the G.I. Joe Field Manual and the latest and greatest G.I. Joe news.

For going several years now I’ve been saying good things about Marauder “Gun Runners”, not just for the excellent product they release, but their outstanding customer service, willingness to accept fan input, and outstanding communication has created a strong and intense fan following.
Now those fans need to step up.
Marauder “Gun Runners” has been receiving lots of customer requests for new product, to the point where they can’t logistically produce their excellent items on a time frame to meet demand. So Marauder John has announced via Facebook that they are launching an exciting Kickstarter Campaign to fund future releases!
Their current goal is $17,000, which would allow them to fund production for 10 ALL NEW items for their “Gun Runners” business, and that includes unpainted weapons as well as pre-painted versions as well.
There will be several “stretch goals” as well, which means for a certain amount over their $17,000 goal, they will add more NEW ITEMS to this assortment. This is our chance, Joe fans. Marauder “Gun Runners” has done amazing stuff for us over the past seven years, we NEED to step up and kick in some funds to help get this new assortment into the production chain. It will only benefit all of us with great new gear and accessories for our favorite 1:18 scale figures.
Hit up the Kickstarter project RIGHT HERE!
