GeneralsJoes Reviews G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #208

I was hoping to get this published last week, but time was not on my side.  But better late than never.

Hama and Gallant once again dive into the classic Real American Hero world, yet manage to bring some new things to the table.  Are they all good?  I’m not 100% convinced, but I’m willing to buckle up and take the ride.

Merger talks between Hasbro and DreamWorks Animation cooled off?

A few short days after initial reports hinted at a potential merger between Hasbro and DreamWorks animation, the latest word is that those talks have come to an end. According to the New York Times, a dip in stock prices and internal pressure from Disney may have contributed to the deal falling apart.

It’s not especially surprising giving Hasbro’s deep relationship with the Mouse, being the primary licensor for many of their action figure brands, not to mention just recently sweeping the princess license away from Mattel. Disney is a very powerful voice in the industry and not one you want to be on the wrong side of.

It’s tough to say exactly what the combined forces of Hasbro and DreamWorks might have meant for the G.I. Joe brand, and now it appears we’ll never find out. Get more details at the New York Times.

Happy Honda Days with Jem and G.I. Joe just because

I actually saw a Happy Honda Days commercial with Skeletor yesterday morning and thought it was pretty hilarious, but immediately wondered why the He-Man villain got top billing over some of the Hasbro cast of characters. Well, as of last night, I no longer had to wonder, as another Happy Honda Days commercial was posted to YouTube, this time featuring Jem and … of course… G.I. Joe!

The commercial was focused on the 12″ guys, but it’s still awesome. The G.I. Joe and Barbie trope is quite thoroughly abused, so at least the G.I. Joe and Jem mix up stays in house.

Check out the video below and thanks to skinny for the heads up.

Best wishes to all of our Veterans

It seems like we shouldn’t need a reason to remember those brave men and women who have fought for our country, but please take a moment today to pay your respects and remember those same people. Being in the G.I. Joe community we are all especially aware of the sacrifices made to protect our freedom. Let’s not forget.

Rest in Peace, Jeremy Dale

It is with shock and sadness that I report the sudden passing of comic artist Jeremy Dale who apparently passed away in his sleep a few short nights ago from an undisclosed illness. Jeremy performed the art chores of many interiors for G.I. Joe comics that were packaged with the 25th Anniversary Comic Packs. He relished his place in the G.I. Joe hierarchy and was extremely active in the convention circuit. He always took time to talk to all of the fans that came his way and legitimately appeared to love being a part of G.I. Joe comic history.

The family asks that you leave condolences over on the Jeremy Dale Facebook page and keep watching there for any updates.

Everyone here at GeneralsJoes wishes the Dale family and friends our deepest, most sincere condolences.
