With the upcoming release of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, various events are going on in Hollywood to celebrate the release of not only Rise of Cobra, but also Transformers 2 and Star Trek on DVD and Blu-Ray. GeneralsJoes contributor Mysterious Stranger was fortunate to catch up with some Hasbro representatives and has brought us some great intel on the upcoming Resolute items, due to be released in Fall, 2010! These sets are still very early in the production phase, so all details are subject to change, but this is what we now know:
- Expect 2 7-Packs, similar to the COBRA Island releases earlier this year, one G.I. Joe and one COBRA.
- Online Exclusives
- Every figure we’ve seen to date in pre-production form will be featured
- Because we haven’t seen enough figures to round off two 7-packs, we can fully expect a larger cast of characters utilizing existing tooling in Resolute decos as well as repaints or reissues of previously released Resolute figures.
Of course, time will tell how this actually ends up, but from the early sounds of it, we’ve got some great Resolute stuff to look forward to next year! I can’t wait to hear more. Big thanks to Mysterious Stranger for the intel.

Yes, you read that right. Possibly the black hole of new toys, K-Mart has scored a nice little coup, apparently being the first brick and mortar retailer to showcase Wave 5 of G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA. Featuring very cool new renditions of Duke and Ripcord, as well as the best 3 3/4″ piece of plastic ever experienced in human existence, City Strike Snake Eyes.
Findings have been reported on HissTank.com, and I’ve mirrored images below. Go get ’em!

First revealed by The Terror Drome, we now get a very nice look at the box art for the upcoming DVD releases of G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA, and G.I. Joe: Resolute. These will both be released on November 3rd to retailers everywhere, which is looking to be a great day to be a G.I. Joe fan!

Like the Rise of COBRA, the November 3rd date has floated around for G.I. Joe: Resolute for a while now, and TVShowsonDVD.com has confirmed this information with Paramount and Hasbro reps. Unfortunately, this news comes at a price… apparently, G.I. Joe: Resolute will NOT be available on Blu-Ray. Crap on a stick.
There are some interesting tidbits about release, included in post on the site below:
This past Friday we had the heads-up that the 2009 [adult swim] animated series G.I. Joe: Resolute would be coming to DVD on November 3rd, per advance listings (now both offering discounted pre-orders) at Amazon.com (USA branch; $19.99 SRP) and Amazon.ca (Canadian branch; CA$22.99 SRP).
Today Hasbro and distributor Paramount Home Entertainment confirmed this info, verifying the release date and offering new details about the content. This single-disc release has all 11 installments, which were just 5 minutes each plus a double-length finale (it was originally designed for web delivery, before being picked up for episodic broadcast). All 60 minutes are included on this DVD, plus “exclusive missing footage” according to information the studio provided to retailers today. Video is listed as full screen.
Additional information was found and posted by Brenden Fletcher at The Blu-ray Blog, who begins by lamenting that this release will NOT be available in the Blu-ray format. Brenden’s obviously a fan of the production, and liked it better than the theatrical film (which comes to home video on the same release day). He passes on that the audio for G.I. Joe: Resolute will be in Dolby Digital English 5.1, and that bonus material will consist of a “Now You know” Teaser Promo, Interviews with the Filmmakers, Storyboards, and the “JOE Files”. Brenden tells us this info came from a press release, which somehow missed coming to our in-box, we suppose.
But we DO have a look at what might possibly be the cover art for this release. It’s an early, small (and fuzzy) peek at what may only be some temp art that the studio put in the retailer info, or it could possibly be the front of the actual box. Keep in mind that this may NOT be it, and that even if it is, there could still be changes. But we’re going to go ahead and share it with all of our excited readers nonetheless:

Recent answers from Hasbro on the latest G.I. Joe Q & A clued us in that Resolute should be appearing on DVD this fall… but thanks to Storm Shadow on JoeCanuck.com, we see that the Canadian branch of Amazon, Amazon.ca has the Resolute DVD listed for a November 3rd release!
Whether that holds true for the American release or not remains to be seen, but it certainly seems like a potentially accurate timeframe.
