G.I.Joe Retaliation has been confirmed for IMAX 3D release. There is so much news as of late I am lagging behind on reporting it, especially outside of Joe. It’s an exciting time to be a Joe fan.
Hisstank.com and Hisstank user, TheGabrielAngel have also posted new promotional images found via Jamie Trueblood from Paramount check them out at here.

It looks factory produced authentic
That’s just one of many, to find out more about the product, hit up MOCJoe’s hompage. As always you can discuss this in our Joe Forums.
Two new figures are up, Psych-out and Muskrat, both looking very much like the original figures from Rah. That was somewhat disappointing for me as I was hoping for more the modern 2004 look. Pysch-out’s gear especially suffers from lack of modernization, as well as with the way his paint apps appear to make his armor two pieces.
images are mirrored below or you can check them out at G.I.Joecon.com
for continued discussion hit the forums.
a lot of folks are excited for this guy, look at that backpack!
that head looks a lot like POC jungle duke IMO.
It has it been a busy day news wise for G.I.Joe and unfortunately I’ve been very busy as well.
For the latest trailer, and a the first interview I saw of the day click here to head towards Comingsoon.net. Other interviews went up around the net as well, for them click the links below.
IGN also has a movie interview
Collider w/ Di Bonaventura
and Screen Rant (Which i only learned about thanks to Hisstank.com)
the important info to be gleamed out of this?
1. The movie has not been retrofitted with more Tatum. But… we do have this quote from one of the interviews ”
But there will be some people who are sad there’s not more Channing Tatum.
DI BONAVENTURA: Yeah, there will be, for sure. But, there will be some people that are really happy that Bruce Willis and The Rock have plenty of time. It’s hard when you have three guys, all of which you want to see be the lead. ”
It does sound like they recognize his potential impact more than originally. my crazy guess, they already filmed the ending where he lives, and it’s the one we will see in theaters.
2. Their is a 10 minute ninja battle with no music. There is also a homage to the silent interlude, this may or may not be the same thing.
3. the IGN interview gives away an order of sequence for the ninja battle
4. Flint’s character is similar to the early comics, we see him grow.
5. They recognize fans of the original Joe would be lost when watching the first movie!

The Club has updated their con page with a new image as well as more info. First up the info, Many have wondered why Cobra Mortal did not have a Chrome head. The club answered fan’s question by stating that there manufactures had no access to chroming. It wasn’t a matter of unwillingness on the club’s but it could not be done.
On to the more exciting news, Charbroil!
The first Joe for set revealed!
What a winner! Excellent parts used, they work surprisingly well as a flame retardant over suit, the vvv torch flamethrower is nice to see return, and the head is classic, and removable!

Why is bumblebee a jet?
I heard the announcement thanks to our FaceBook group. These figures are more customizable and remind me of lego bionacle figures. For more pics and additional info, head to TW2005.

I almost want to see him die, so i can see him break up into pieces
Sadly there is no lego tie in with Castlevania on the horizon but over at the Retro Gaming Blog there is an excellent image of a physical lego set up. The stage style would be great for recreating plenty of classic video game looks.

The club has released preview images of 3 of the figures, Cobra Mortal, Frag Vipers and Letal (Frag Viper Leader)
I have to say I am instantly disappointed. Cobra mortals legs are the spindly 25th CC legs, and the frag and Letal viper bodies belong to the new “ultimate” se from Retaliation that has yet to see released. I really feel that those knees especially look awkward and the overall feel of that mold is more superhero than Joe. Letal’s colors, unless he actually glows in the dark, are far too bright and extreme for my taste. Looking on the positive side though, the frag viper’s headsculpt is very nicely down and the gear is great too. Last year the con seemed to to start with a bang and show their best figures first, but judging from the known list of figures the set will include, i don’t think that’s the case this year.
I’d love to your thoughts on the forums,
