Frustration from the glut of merchandise clogging retail pegs and blocking the release of subsequent waves of highly-anticipated figures seemed to be the theme of 2011. When new G.I. Joe figures finally made their way into our collections, the countless accessories, innovations in articulation, and intricately-detailed sculpts made the class of 2011 among the best we’ve ever seen in the 25th Anniversary-style era. Hasbro surprised with the release of the Sky Striker as part of the 30th Anniversary line, disappointed with the cancellation of the G.I. Joe: Renegades animated series, and energized with the trailer for the live-action movie sequel, G.I. Joe: Retaliation. Not to be outdone, licensees such as IDW Publishing and Sideshow Collectibles continued to impress with their offerings of G.I. Joe merchandise, an indication of the strength of the G.I. Joe brand. In retrospect of 2011, A Real American Hero, Generals Joes and The Terror Drome team up to bring you the best of G.I. Joe 2011.

Well, as much as can be expected, anyway. I will admit, though, the episode shuffling has been very minor, and the online resources seem to be mostly correct when it comes to the episode lineup, so I’m considering this relatively official.
MSN TV has just posted a run of April listings for G.I. Joe: Renegades, and this is what we’ve got:
- Shipwrecked – April 15
- Castle Destro – April 22
- Union of the Snake – April 29
Some very intriguing episode titles, I must say. A pretty obvious guest star for the 15th, and I love the sounds of diving deeper into Destro’s back story. Some real potential. In fact, over the next run of 6 episodes, it sounds like things could really be picking up! Storm Shadow, Shadow-Vipers, Zartan’s return, the Crimson Twins, Snow Job, Shipwreck, and more Destro details? Sign me up! I know I’m ready for G.I. Joe: Renegades to come back. Who’s with me?

So, G.I. Joe: Renegades returns with new episodes next Friday, March 11th, but the episode shuffle has pushed “Whiteout” back to March 25th. To this point we hadn’t heard any episode details, but now TVGuide.com sheds some light on the subject:
“The prototype Shadow-Vipers and Storm Shadow follow the Joes to Canada, where they are hiding out with Snow Job.”
So Shadow-Vipers, Snow Job, and the return of Storm Shadow? Whiteout was initially an episode I wasn’t all that excited to check out, but suffice it to say, that’s changed now! Thanks to The Terror Drome for the information.

We hadn’t heard a whole lot of buzz about the supposedly upcoming sequel to G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, but today, the Hollywood Reporter sheds at least a little bit of light.
They report that indeed, the sequel is moving forward as planned with a script by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, and that Lee Byung-hun is set to reprise his role as Storm Shadow. None of this is especially interesting…these facts were reported quite a while ago. The interesting part is the following line, directly from Hollywood Reporter:
“Lee will head to the U.S. to begin shooting in June, with the film slated to open in the summer of 2012.”
I don’t believe we’d heard a concrete shooting date of June mentioned before. I know they’d talked about a summer 2012 release, but I honestly thought that was a little ambitious. I still think it’s a little ambitious. Still no director, still no word about Channing Tatum, Dennis Quaid, Christopher Ecclestein, Rachel Nichols, Sienna Miller, Ray Park, or most importantly (in my mind), Joseph Gordon-Leavitt. I think most of these folks signed contracts for a multi-film deal, but given Leavitt’s recent critical and financial success with Inception, it would be interesting to see how he reacts to being thrust back into potential B-Movie cheese.
Looks like the next 18 months are going to be an interesting roller coaster ride as usual. Being a Joe fan is never boring.
