The movie is pushed back to 2013, G.I. Joe: Renegades is long gone, and by all accounts, mass retail toy shelves are going to be barren for the next 6 – 8 months. Deth of teh line!!1!
But wait…there is a light on the horizon in the form of the San Diego ComicCon figures (and vehicle) that should hit the West Coast shortly after JoeCon this year. For this year’s action figure offerings, Hasbro is going back in time, and now forward in time to bring us some great representations of G.I. Joe ninja finance clerk Jinx! We have the red version taking us back to better days of 1987…well, except for that whole Cobra La thing. And we’ve got a white version sporting a head sculpt looking very much like Elodie Yung who represents Jinx in the film, now coming out in nine months. The whole time continuum is collapsing!
I struggled a bit with where to put these reviews, but since the packaging is very 25th Anniversary themed, that’s where they are. So check out my 25th Anniversary Review Page, or just hit the links below! A big thanks to Gyre Viper from the JDSO Podcast and Jay from Carded Heroes for spreading the love a bit and letting me get these reviews out there. Enjoy.

The G.I. Joe: Retaliation film is delayed and the toys aisles are likely to be somewhat vacant this year as well… but there is still some very cool stuff coming our way this year, and tops on that list are the SDCC Exclusive Jinx figures.
Troy from The Toy Verse managed to get his hands on these figures, and has posted an awesome gallery for them right here. I’ve mirrored just a couple of the images below, but you should definitely check out The Toy Verse to take a peek at the full gallery.

Yes, we’re getting ever closer to the 2012 G.I. Joe Convention, but hot on the heels of JoeCon this year will be San Diego ComicCon, and part of the big SDCC showing this year will be a pair of exclusive Jinx figures.
The decision makes sense with Jinx being a big part of G.I. Joe: Retaliation and with a desire to fill in some gaps in the old school roster. Well, old friend Gyre-Viper has gotten his hands on one of these excellent looking Jinx figures, and we’ve got some great in hand pictures at JoeDeclassified.com. He was also kind enough to supply an exclusive image to GeneralsJoes featuring the card back and file card. Excellent!
I’ve mirrored a chunk of the images here, but you should hit up JoeDeclassified.com to see the full selection. Some great details revealed!

Maybe these went up yesterday along with the story by USA Today, but somehow I missed it? Either that, or they just went live today and WOW!! Spectactular. If the concept art is any indication whatsoever of the kind of character design we’ll be getting, this game may already have knocked aside Avengers Alliance as my current addiction.
You can hit up the SyFy site and the Facebook Page to check out a wealth of concept art, and even sign up to play the Beta when it becomes available. So cool! Check out some mirrored images below from the SyFy gallery.
Guys. TRUBBLE BUBBLES. Low Light. AGH!!

This looks SO COOL. If this is truly a tactics game along the lines of Final Fantasy Tactics, or G.I. Joe: Renegades Tactics, then I will be so in love with this. Very cool.

Okay, not 30 seconds after I wrote the last post, we’ve got more character posters running wild! To this point, we’ve got to send along thanks to Collider.com (for Duke), HeyUGuys.com (for Snake Eyes), Coming Soon (for Storm Shadow), and CloneWeb (for Jinx). More posters promise to emerge today including Roadblock, Cobra Commander, and Lady Jaye. Trust me when I say, you will definitely see them here!
Check out the gallery below with every poster collected to date.
