Okay, consider this rumor mill material at the moment, but it’s a rumor I’m leaning towards believing.
I think over the past few weeks we’ve seen plenty of Retaliation images leaked on StarkIndustries.ru. While nobody seems to know exactly where this site originated, they certainly seem to have the connections to get these images before the mainstream sites.
Well, again, thanks to toycollector962 who passed on the word… the Twitter account for StarkIndustries.ru reports that a new G.I. Joe: Retaliation trailer is hitting April 25th. They Tweeted the following information about it:
“Watched new G.I. JOE trailer. More dialogue, less Seven Nation Army. One epic scene.”
And they also Tweeted the following:
“Studio requested to remove GI JOE posters which were leaked earlier today by Paramount Mexico on local sites. Trailer is coming on April 25”
Should we take that as official gospel? No. But judging by their track record, and the fact that a new trailer was listed to the Alberta film ratings website, I’d say the information is probably reliable. More information as it develops!

Big thanks goes out to GeneralsJoes Twitter pal toycollector962 who uncovered a great G.I. Joe: Retaliation international poster featuring Storm Shadow front and center with Joe Colton and Roadblock flanking him. Judging by the file name it appears to be a Korean poster.
Check out the mirrored image below.

To a resounding… “bleh”. Yeah, unfortunately very much unlike the G.I. Joe: Renegades 4-Pack, I find myself very unimpressed with the Retaliation one. Destro from HissTank.com also posted that image, and it just looks like essentially the same figures that are in wave 1, with the addition of the variant “Black” Cobra Commander which many folks hypothesized would be in this set. Pretty boring. I don’t even see many differences deco-wise.

Okay, I think we’ve got ’em all now!
As of this moment, we have posters for all mentioned G.I. Joe: Retaliation characters, to include:
- Joe Colton
- Roadblock
- Duke
- Lady Jaye
- Snake Eyes
- Jinx
- Cobra Commander
- Storm Shadow
Several different film sites around the web broadcasted these images, though I’ll be honest, it was a bit tough tracking them all. They seem to kind of scatter like the wind and they weren’t all found where they were supposed to be found! I know that there were sites that were supposed to debut these, which got trumped a bit by StarkIndustries.ru, which is a bit of a shame, but expect much better quality images as the day goes on.
For now, check out the full and complete gallery below.

Another day, another G.I. Joe: Retaliation review over at Carded Heroes! This time around it’s Roadblock. Jay looks like he feels the same way about this figure as I do…a very cool figure, tons of potential, yet just lacking with that action gimmick and some articulation deficiencies.
I’ve mirrored a couple of images below as usual, but definitely head to Carded Heroes to get all of the details and see the rest of the images.
