Hasbro’s excellent PR firm has begun sending out the press material, and I’ve uploaded a large amount of it already to the YoJoe Photo events page! The Press images include Budo without his helmet, Cobra Commander wearing his hood, and all of the Wave 2 Kre-On figures that weren’t in the showroom!
Also see the Arashikage Dojo and Ghoststriker fighter jet. Check ’em out right here.
When it rains it pours… among all of the awesomeness that is the G.I. Joe Convention brochure launch, ToysRUs.com has also let fly their G.I. Joe Kre-O pre-orders. Not only that, but they are Buy 1 Get 1 50% off! Tough to turn that deal away.
Thanks to ekko from HissTank.com for the info. Check out the product links and stock images below.

And in the true Spirit of Christmas, join us while we talk about female body parts for a couple of hours…
In all seriousness, this was a homecoming of sorts as we all got back together to do a real live episode for the first time in well over a month, and we had a ton of news to cover! If that’s not all, the rest of the crew (alongside YoJoe guru Terry Dizard) spoke with Bill Ratner, the voice of Flint in the Sunbow animated series.
Make sure you don’t miss me and Chuck throwing down about Michael Bay and the Transformers franchise… it’s one for the ages!

It seems so impossible that we’ve already hit 69 episodes of What’s on Joe Mind, but here we are. And childish jokes aside, this is a great episode! We spend some time throughout election night speaking with new IDW G.I. Joe writer Fred Van Lente and Marvel Director of Communications Arune Singh. We also interview one of the brainchildren behind Cobra Stickers, RJ, and of course chock full of news and G.I. Joe related content.
I know we’re not pushing these out on a weekly basis anymore, but hopefully we’re generating content worth waiting for. As always, check this out on our Podbean Page, or via the embedded players below. Also make sure to click the Read the Rest of the Story link below for all the show notes.

Along with revealing the initial release toys themselves, Hasbro’s awesome stalwart PR agency has also made the images available to websites as well, and I’ve got ’em right here for you. Broken up into apparent vehicle sets and “single pack” figure sets, I’ve posted two galleries below of official images.
The more I look at these the more I’m thinking that while the sets are pretty neat, the Kre-On mini figures are very cool. Lots of the aesthetics and the spirit of the old school Joe stuff in mini figure form. Pretty damn cool.
That being said, still looking forward to Toy Fair. 🙂
