More G.I. Joe: Resolute concept art goodness from Dave Johnson

The now-immortal Dave Johnson (in G.I. Joe land, anyway, for whatever that’s worth) has posted some updates to his already awesome DeviantArt page with a bunch of new Resolute stuff.  Still no character details (dammit!) but plenty of other coolness like backgrounds, weapon turnarounds, etc…

Check out his DeviantArt page here, and check out the mirrored images below!  Huge thanks to Wild Weasel of The Terror Drome for the information.

Black Sheep Toy Store unleashes more upcoming loose figures

The always dependable Black Sheep Toy Store has posted a handful of auctions for upcoming product, and very cool product at that.  The links are below…I haven’t posted a gallery, because the images are all ones we’ve seen before, but the auction links are below:

Man…these are some awesome looking figures.  I know there’s been a lot of movie bashing going around, but every one of those above toys really kicks ass, in my opinion.  I’m still trying to figure out how I’m going to get my hands on a half dozen of those 3-piece suit Destro figures.  I could find lots of uses for that one.

Thanks to HissCommander of The Terror Drome for the intel.

A metric TON of Resolute Concept art on DeviantArt!

hiss-01Well, thanks to Jeff Bohn stumbling on it yesterday, and letting GeneralsJoes break the news, the DeviantArt floodgates have opened.  Jeff also found the page belonging to Joaquin Dos Santos, who, in turn led to several other artists who worked on the project, and a whole wealth of awesome looking concept art, backgrounds, and storyboards are up there for the enjoyment of all!  Unfortunately I haven’t been able to uncover any character turnarounds or designs, which is what I’m really after, but damn, this is some COOL stuff right here.  I’ve broken it all down into galleries below, but PLEASE check out everyone’s DeviantArt page and lavish huge praise on them.  The “look” of Resolute was one of the best things about it, so these artists deserve a mountain of credit for breathing life into our favorite plastic men and women.  Check out the shots at the “Read the rest of this Entry” link below, you do NOT want to miss these:
