In a move that is sure to cause fandom outrage, Paramount has released an official image from G.I. Joe: Retaliation where Joe Colton is not wearing green, does not have flocked hair, and is not sporting king fu grip! Blasphemers!
In all seriousness, Bruce Willis as Joe Colton is looking pretty snazzy in this image, wearing a nice suit and getting ready to pop some caps in some Cobra ass. In the background you see Adrianne Pallicki following his lead. Good stuff…ready for more trailers and TV spots now!
It’s a tradition unlike any other! No, not the Daytona 500 itself, the dissection of the latest G.I. Joe: Retaliation trailer or TV spot via screencap gallery!
Like all the other trailers and TV spots, I ran this one through the ole software and pulled apart lots of great screen grabs, so big thanks to HissTank.com for uploading in HD! Not a whole lot of new stuff. Some clearer images (compared to yesterday’s TV spot) and a few new details. Love the shot of the Ripsaw jumping into the air. Also love the little touch like what appears to be a Cobra logo lapel pin on the Secret Service Agent who Colton is whipping the ass of. Little attentions to detail like that are very cool.
Also a scene with Zartan as The President possibly talking to…the REAL president? Tough to tell, but almost seems like it. Good stuff. Check out the images below, and as always, these will be mirrored on the G.I. Joe: Retaliation SuperPage.
My fellow podcast host Gary first reported this afternoon that a new G.I. Joe: Retaliation TV Spot had aired during the Daytona 500 via his Twitter feed. I don’t traditionally watch racing, but thankfully the guys at HissTank.com jumped on the TV and captured the TV spot in glorious HD.
You can see it on YouTube and embedded below. Lots of recycled footage, but also some cool new snippets as well, specifically of the Ripsaw taking a flying leap and Joe Colton kicking some Secret Service ass. Excellent.
With the whirlwind day that yesterday was, I didn’t have time to properly process all of the things that were shown during the presentation or down in the show room. But I woke up very early this morning to dive back into the images from last night and try to wade through and choose my favorite pieces of this initial burst of G.I. Joe: Retaliation toys. I’m going to include stuff we’ve already seen, just based on some new information or new details that were revealed through pictures I’ve taken over the past 18 hours or so.
This will be a basic Top Ten list, and I’ll try to write some snippets from each figure, some of which might be stuff you guys haven’t heard yet that was revealed during Toy Fair. No promises, this is by the seat of my pants!

Among the crazy toy news late last week, a new image was released by Paramount for the upcoming G.I. Joe movie sequel. Featuring Bruce Willis as Joe Colton, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as Roadblock, and Adrianne Palicki as Lady Jaye, this image comes right on the heels of the release of the Super Bowl TV spot.
