R. Carson Mataxis is an Emmy winning editor and animator. He created 3DJoes.com to preserve the sculpt and package art of G.I.JOE: A Real American Hero in 2012.

Their work continues – documenting peripheral products and preproduction artifacts, and creating Creator Profiles for the legendary marketers, writers, designers, illustrators, and sculptors of the ARAH line. Carson teamed up with fellow archivist Chad Hucal in 2015 to create The Art of G.I.JOE: A Real American Hero, a fully licensed 712 page Omnibus Hardcover documenting every piece of painted ARAH art, and so much more. This unparalleled love letter to the greatest toyline of all time was met with commercial success and critical acclaim.

Zarana, like her brother Zartan, is a natural-born performer. She has inherited her family’s dangerous skills in deception and disguise, capable of fooling even the most skilled military experts.

Her mastery of various weapons skills and ability to operate land and water vehicles adds greater flexibility and adaptability to her missions.

This brand-new Zarana action figure stands at 10.2CM in height. Based on the original appearance of the G.I. Joe. She wears a tailored cropped jacket, with meticulous stitching and studded embellishments that exude a strong sense of personality. The leather straps and buckle details on the left side of the jacket add a touch of sophistication. The overall modern punk style, paired with vibrant makeup and sleek gradient pink short hair, makes her stand out strikingly in any crowd.

Additionally, the figure includes 1x replacement head, 2x interchangeable hand parts, 1x knife, 1x blade, 1x rifle and 1x backpack, allowing you to display different poses. Included with the figure is an exclusive base, enabling you to recreate an authentic battlefield atmosphere right in the comfort of your own home!

Speaking to Bloomberg, Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks states that the toy giant will stop co-financing movie projects.

Mr. Cocks is leading the company through a challenging transition, focusing on video games and digital entertainment to offset declining toy sales and underperforming movie ventures. A gamer at heart, Chris Cocks joined Hasbro in 2016, overseeing the rapid growth of the Wizards of the Coast division, which produces Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons.

Under his leadership, Hasbro is investing heavily in gaming, including licensing hits like Monopoly Go and Baldur’s Gate 3, as well as developing new projects like a GI Joe action-adventure game (tentatively titled G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes) and a digital Magic: The Gathering Commander format. Despite the competitive video game market and recent project cancellations, Hasbro aims to release one to two new video games annually by 2026.

Mr. Cocks is also expanding Magic: The Gathering with crossover sets featuring Lord of the Rings and Marvel characters, drawing new players while sparking fan debate. Hasbro’s focus on digital collectability and broader gameplay reflects its effort to adapt to shifting consumer preferences. As the new CEO puts it, Hasbro’s future lies in leveraging its iconic brands through innovative play.

The publisher behind G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout video game has announced that they are pulling the Steam (PC) version of the game from the stores on December 31st, 2024.

Game Mill Entertainment has issued an unusually small announcement with regards to the situation.

“Product Removal Announcement (Posted Mon, November 11):

This game and any related DLCs and bundles will be removed from sale on December 31, 2024.”

It is worth pointing out that there is no explanation for this shutdown nor a thank you note for the players who purchased the game. A far cry from such announcements from other publishers. The company has also not clarified whether the online multiplayer aspects will continue despite the closure of sales.

G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout video game is a third-person shooter based on G.I. Joe: Classified Series designs. The game features fan favorites such as Duke, Snake Eyes, Cobra Commander, Baroness, and more as playable characters.

This discontinuation comes 3 years after the official release of the game.

There are no such announcements for the console versions of the game, and the aforementioned Steam and PS4 versions are now 75% off the original price.

under G.I. Joe Kre-O, G.I. Joe MEGA Building Sets

Hasbro and Mattel have been playing nice in recent times, allowing their brands to cross over and play in the wheelhouses of the other camp.  Today G.I. Joe joins the party with an all new building bricks set from MEGA. This is the former MEGA BLOKS which competed with that other brick company and is now part of Mattel proper in-house.  They’ll be producing a pretty big set right off the bat with a Skystriker vs H.I.S.S. Tank, complete with mini figures Duke, Ace, Cobra Commander and the HISS Driver.  Retail is 81 USD, and will be exclusive to MattelCreations.com (for Hasbro only folks reading, that’s like their Hasbro Pulse site).  Pre-Orders will go live on November 15th (Friday) at Noon Eastern time. Read on for pics and details.  Hit the link to bookmark and refresh on launch day.
