NEWS: GI Joe: A Real Social Media Game


It's been a tough twelve months for GI Joe fans. We've had some highs (such as the 30th Anniversary/Renegades line) and some lows (the cancellation of GI Joe: Renegades, the cutbacks being made to the Retaliation tie-in toys) but it looks as if the soon-to-be-released GI Joe: Retaliation has sparked some new interest in the franchise, as not only are we getting a new line of ''Basic'' figures but GI Joe is to get its very own social media game.

NEWS: New Marvel Universe Packaging Shots


After the last, rather lackluster wave of Marvel Universe figures (which I left sitting on the shelf) it's cool to see Hasbro not only diversifying the line with some superb additions and - as you can see from the above image originally posted at Cool Toy Review - doing such a great job of it, to boot. 

I'm certainly looking forward to getting my hands on Kraven and Kang (both being particular childhood favorites of mine) but the She-Hulk, Future Foundation Spidey, Beta Ray Bill and Scarlet Witch are also sure to find their way into my collection (providing I can find them at retail...)

Look for these figures landing at retail very soon.

NEWS: GI Joe: Retaliation Storm Shadow Carded Image


As we inch closer to the theatrical release of GI Joe: Retaliation, so the GI Joe Collectors' Club keep teasing us with more carded images of the upcoming figures. This time around it's the turn of the Cobra Ninja, Storm Shadow, who - unlike some of the other figures we've seen - actually looks to come with some pretty neat gear. 

I just hope that zip line accessory isn't as cheap-looking as the image makes it appear...
