Showcasing a figure which promises to be an early favorite among the fans, the GIJoe Club website has posted an image of the carded G.I. Joe Trooper from the G.I. Joe: Retaliation toyline. This is a fantastic looking figure and once again forces me to rethink my “G.I. Joe shouldn’t have generic troops” mindset. Between this and the Steel Brigade, I’m amassing (or will soon amass) a large number of the faceless and the nameless.
IDW superstar Robert Atkins comes back to the show to talk about his time at Roll Out Roll Call 3, and we have a terrific conversation about the recent crackdown on 3rd Party vendors and artist’s alley at Botcon. Great to talk to someone directly impacted by those events!
We also cover the latest news and intel going on in the G.I. Joe world, and Beachhead Mike actually makes it through the entire episode without ralphing. It’s an Easter miracle! Listen to the episode at our Podbean page, or hit up the embedded player below. Show notes are after the jump.
I’m honestly not sure if there is any new footage here or not, but it’s a new ninja-centric TV spot for the film, so here it is! Check it out on YouTube or embedded below.
Another day, another carded image posted from the upcoming G.I. Joe: Retaliation toyline. The GIJoeClub website has been posting them on a regular basis, and this time they put up the awesome looking Red Ninja.
Using a lot of Storm Shadow tooling, this figure makes for a great classic homage or a boost to your Cobra ninja forces no matter which era you collect. Check out a small piece of the image below, or hit up GIJoeClub.com for the full shot.

All right! Sure, I would much prefer some more footage these days, but I’ll take another press image as well, especially when it’s a very cool action shot of the one and only Storm Shadow!
Escape from what? That’s the question. It would certainly appear that perhaps his body was retrieved by someone and kept in some sort of stasis, allowing him to survive…but how does that jive with Cobra Commander and the word that this Commander is a totally new character than what we saw in Rise of Cobra?
Verrrry interesting. Cannot WAIT to find out all the answers June 29th! Check out the mirrored image below and a big thanks to Twitter follower toycollector962 for the information.
