Oh, yeah, the G.I. Joe: Retaliation Amazon Exclusive pack figures revealed, too

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.

Check out the mirrored image below.

Image reveals product within the Amazon.com G.I. Joe: Renegades 4-Pack

Thanks to Destro from HissTank.com for posting an image that reveals some details about the Amazon Exclusive G.I. Joe: Renegades 4-Pack story we broke early this week.  This single image is truly fascinating.  Check it out below:

Uhhh WOW.

Yeah, these are not straight-up repaints of figures we got already.  That right there looks like at least some new tooling.  Duke is obviously the same with the addition of recolored Cobra Trooper legs (don’t know how I feel about that).  But Storm Shadow is considerably different.  The head sculpt looks more animated, the proportions of the arms (not to mention the sleeveless look) are certainly different.  Very, very interesting.  Snake Eyes is a little tough to tell, though the feet at least look different.

And is it just me, or are there some different hip joints going on there?

Plus, look at the feet.  The sculpt there looks exaggerated, too.  Maybe I’m wrong, but I’m seriously wondering if these were some of the “animated” style figures we’d heard about before the outcry moved us back to the more realistic style.  Very interesting.  I just went from pretty excited to absolutely ecstatic.  Here’s hoping we get to see some of these figures in more detail soon, this is just aching to be dissected.

Fantastic.

UPDATE – As commentor Plokoon5 points out as well, it looks like Duke has G.I. Joe: Renegades Law’s hands instead of his original hands, which is a significant improvement to the figure as well.  It took one of the glaring flaws in that figure and improved it 100%.  Good observation.

Last, but not least, the full collection of G.I. Joe: Retaliation character posters

by | Apr 19, 2012 | G.I. Joe, G.I. Joe 2, G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation, G.I. Joe: The Movie

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.
