As trailers, PSA’s or featurettes come close to airing, they need to be classified equal or less than the film or item they precede. The Alberta Film Ratings site is notorious for posting these classifications publicly, which can provide some insight into when to expect some of these items to hit the air.
One of the latest items to be classified, is entitled G.I. Joe: Retaliation Featurette, and it appears on the site with a PG rating and clocking in at just under four minutes. The content of the featurette itself is unknown, but this site has pretty close to 100% reliability when it comes to predicting these things.
UD Replicas is a company that specializes in custom leather motorcycle wear using film properties as an inspiration. They can be actual wearable items, or collectibles, designed to reflect your favorite properties straight from the motion picture screen. Carrying massive licenses like Avengers and Batman, UD Replicas will also be doing product from both G.I. Joe: Retaliation and G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. Items include Cobra Commander’s bad ass leather jacket, the Baroness’ trench coat, and a cool battle vest from the sequel film.

At least according to the Twitter account UK Film Premieres, which seems to be legitimate from what I can tell. According to this Tweet, the G.I. Joe: Retaliation UK film premier will hit in February, 2013 and will have Bruce Willis, Channing Tatum, and Adrianne Palicki in attendance.
Obviously this hasn’t been officially announced by Paramount yet, but some quick research of past Tweets from this account seem to indicate a level of legitimacy, so we’ll go with it for now.
And with a sudden jolt, you realize just how close we are to the release of the film. Under 90 days until it hits American theaters. Holy wow!
Looks like the product trickle might be starting… here’s hoping it becomes a flood soon. Entertainment Earth now has some of the second wave G.I. Joe: Retaliation product in stock! Check out the links below to grab ’em up!
Word from Hot Toys to ENewsI is that there are three other Hot Toys releases planned for 2013, to include Joe Colton, Roadblock, and Storm Shadow! My first reaction is BOOOO no Cobra Commander, but my second reaction is YAY 12″ Bruce Willis! If these are popular, I’d expect more to follow, and hopefully those more include folks like Cobra Commander, Lady Jaye, Flint, and Firefly at the least.
I’m very interested to see how these end up… will Joe Colton be in combat togs, or in his fancy Secret Service suit? I imagine Storm Shadow will come with an unmasked and a masked head, will he come with his awesome white leather trench? So many questions…can’t wait to find out the answers.
