The review frenzy this week continues as I cover three more single pack G.I. Joe: Retaliation figures today.
On the docket this time around are:
Don’t forget these figures can all be found on my G.I. Joe: Retaliation Review Page, and pre-orders are going strong over at Big Bad Toy Store!
And the flood begins! My comments, emails and text messages have been flying this evening as more folks are reporting sightings of the new discount G.I. Joe figures at Dollar Generals across the country.
UPDATE – Some questions about price… reports are retail of $6.00 per figure.
Everywhere from Tennessee to Oklahoma and St. Louis, but the one common denominator is they’re being found in Dollar General stores specifically. Big thanks to both Mike from Whats on Joe Mind and GeneralsJoes visitor Dustin for forwarding some images along as proof. Mike even included his trademark bananas. Check out the images below, and just as a reminder of what you can expect, make sure you read up on the Dollar Store figures with my exclusive reveal right here.

Well, put this firmly in the “what the what–?” column. Apparently that formerly mysterious black Cobra Commander variant that was most recently seen as an Amazon.com exclusive has now started shipping in single pack form from ToysrUs.com.
Toys R Us had opened some G.I. Joe: Retaliation pre-orders a little while ago, and over on HissTank.com solid.wii reports that he received a black single pack Cobra Commander, and another member Rodimus88 confirms the fact. There are also images of the packaged figure and the receipt, which I’ve mirrored below.
Does this mean this Cobra Commander will be found at brick & mortar? It seems quite possible, but I guess time will tell. Thanks to noted author James Kavanaugh from the RAHC Guide for linking this info.

Thanks to ComingSoon.net we have a look at the last G.I. Joe: Retaliation theatrical poster. The poster takes some imagery from the previous character posters and combines it all into one pretty cool looking theatrical poster for the film.
Loving how this looks. Another poster to add to my growing “want list”! Check out the original post on ComingSoon.net, and also mirrored below. Thanks to the Twitter account for the General Geekery Podcast for the heads up!
UPDATE – It looks like there are also posters for Brazil and the UK as well, which I’ve included in the gallery below. The Brazil one is the split one that actually has Firefly in it. The other one with Lee Byung-Hun subtly included is for the UK.
So, poor Flint is 0 for 3 on Retaliation posters. What did he ever do to you, Paramount?!? Thanks to toycollector962 for the updated info.

Big thanks to The Terror Drome for digging up a nice wealth of press images and the character posters without that distracting text from Stark Industries! I’ve gone ahead and mirrored them all below, and I’m loving them. The character posters are especially cool without the text on the top of them.
Check out the gallery below, and again thanks to The Terror Drome for locating these.
