While I was perusing Toonzone earlier today I noticed a little tidbit that kinda flew under the radar with the investor conference call just prior to this year’s Toy Fair.
Apparently, in a discussion with investors about the future of The Hub and Hasbro’s entertainment properties, it was mentioned that “…second season of shows to be announced by the Hub in March”. So yes, we’ve already heard about Transformers: Prime (mostly because the CGI modeling requires significant more lead time in production) and now it sounds like next month we could hear good news (hopefully) about G.I. Joe: Renegades as well.
This is awesome news! I’ve been dying for a good way to watch HD renders of the G.I. Joe: Renegades cartoons, and now we’ve got it. Apple’s iTunes service has begun offering HD versions of the G.I. Joe: Renegades animated series through the iTunes store.
Currently they have every episode that has aired so far (and listed in their correct order at that!). The first episode is free for both SD and HD versions. I’m currently downloading the HD copy and will let everyone know how it turns out. If I like it, I’ll try and figure out if I want to spring $2.99 per episode going forward.
Not knowing whether a Blu-Ray release is coming or not, this might be a good fall back. Clicking this link will redirect you right there!
The HubTVNetwork YouTube page in conjunction with their Facebook Fan Page has posted the clip that was debuted at Toy Fair yesterday!
Tomax and Xamot make their G.I. Joe: Renegades debut in “Brothers of Light”, airing 6:00pm on March 11th! Check out the embedded video below.
The Hub Network Facebook Fan Page has a ton of great G.I. Joe: Renegades, Transformers: Prime, and much more great content as well! Check it out now!
With a big thanks to The Terror Drome who clued me in to the fact that Hasbro had included the presentation slides with their images they sent along yesterday, and I just never dug deep enough! Apologies all around.
Below are the images from Hasbro’s Joe presentation, which gives the assortment lowdowns, the release dates, and some press images that have not yet been revealed. Two headed Renegades Cobra Commander FTW! 😉
It’s a Toy Fair tradition! Yay?
I’ve compiled my piles of images from the showroom as well as from the press releases, and assembled a very rough draft for the 2011 SuperPage.
I have a lot of organizational things to work out in my head… should the first two waves be pulled back into the PoC SuperPage? Should Waves 1 & 2 (AKA Waves 3 and 4 that we got this year, which were technically 2011 Waves 1 and 2) be pushed to the 2011 page?
I dunno. It’s freaking midnight and I’m too tired to think about it right now. For the moment check out the 2011 SuperPage right here and let me know if you recommend any changes or organizational stuff.
Bed time. It was a whirlwind, but a fun one as always. Big thanks to Mike, Joe, Danny, and the other array of Hunter PR staff who lead us around the toyroom…and of course a big thanks and “welcome back” to Derryl DePriest, who appears to be taking a larger role in G.I. Joe these days. We’re better for it!
