Hasbro Applies For Snake Eyes Toy Trademark In UK

Posted on October 23, 2020 at 4:09 am by Silver Optimus under G.I. Joe Movie

Hasbro has applied for the Snake Eyes trademark at the United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office.

There are some interesting details to take away from this particular registration:

First of all, this is the first G.I. Joe related trademark to be registered in UK since 2012. Previously, a similar trademark was registered by Hasbro UK titled as G.I. Joe: Retaliation for the distribution of the toyline by the same name. Secondly, instead of Hasbro UK, Hasbro US has applied for this new mark in United Kingdom and thus indicating a direct involvement.

This also marks the official distribution of G.I. Joe toys (at least the Snake Eyes movie related ones) in UK since the filing comes under the category of Toys, games and playthings.

Additionally, this might be the first official indication of Snake Eyes movie toys other than the leaked Classified Series codenames MV Tarantula (Snake Eyes), MV Scorpion (Storm Shadow) and MV Lady Bug (Akkiko).

Complete list of official details:

Trademark: Snake Eyes
Trademark number: UK00003539159
Goods and services: Class 28 – Toys, games and playthings.
Owner(s) name: Hasbro, Inc.
Address: 1027 Newport Avenue, Pawtucket, Rhode Island 02861, United States of America
Country of Incorporation: United States of America
Incorporation state: Rhode Island
IPO representative name: Gill Jennings & Every LLP

Future Expansions Planned For G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout

Posted on October 18, 2020 at 12:40 pm by Silver Optimus under G.I. Joe Video Games

Gaming news website Gaming Bolt had the opportunity to talk with IguanaBee; the developer behind G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout regarding the future of the game and other tidbits.

Daniel Winkler – creative director and CEO of IguanaBee stated that based on fan feedback, the team will work on expansions for the game.

“Given the game’s multiplayer component, are you considering adding more characters, weapons, maps, or modes to it after launch?

Yes! This is definitely a consideration, and we want to hear from the fans what they want to see in the game. G.I. Joe has a massive universe and lore full of characters and environments we can add to the game. We also can’t wait to hear what modes and weapons consumers want to play.”

He also mentioned the decision for a local multiplayer.

“One of the first pillars of the game was to create an awesome local multiplayer experience. Some of our best memories have been next to our friends and siblings playing games in local co-op. We felt that nothing compares to laughing alongside with your friend solving problems together and celebrating beating a level together, or bragging about beating your friend. Four players lets more people play on the same screen to maximize that multiplayer experience at home.”

IguanaBee Talks About G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout

Posted on October 12, 2020 at 2:49 pm by Silver Optimus under G.I. Joe Video Games

IguanaBee; the developer behind G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout, sat down with the official Playstation Blog to talk about their upcoming game.

“I’m Daniel Winkler with IguanaBee and we’re the developer behind G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout. The team at IguanaBee grew up watching the animated G.I. Joe series, reading the comic books, and playing with the toys. We worked with Hasbro and Fair Play Labs to create a play experience that reimagined the third person shooter with mechanics inspired and made possible by the G.I. Joe and Cobra universe. It was an honor, and childhood dream, to work with these classic characters. We’re confident in saying G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout was made by fans for fans.”

“We always strive to define our core characters, their unique attributes/abilities and personalities through gameplay as much as possible,” says Rich Zambarano, Hasbro’s Gaming Content Manager. “Because this is a deeply story-driven gameplay experience, and I think we were able to successfully capture that depth for both the G.I. Joe and Cobra characters. I hope players and fans will greatly enjoy this aspect of the game.”

The developer also mentioned that G.I. Joe Superfans will find a special Easter-Egg on the final mission of the story mode.

Publisher Gamemill also confirmed that the game will be out tomorrow on Console (PS4, XBOX One, and Switch). No word yet regarding the PC release.

Henry Golding And Andrew Koji Interviews On Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins

Posted on October 8, 2020 at 11:50 pm by Silver Optimus under G.I. Joe Movie

Actors Henry Golding (Snake Eyes) and Andrew Koji (Storm Shadow) spoke to Hollywood Outbreak and Inverse respectively, regarding the upcoming movie Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins.

Mr. Golding emphasized on the fact that the new movie is a reboot of the Live Action Movie series:

“It’s unlike anything that people will have seen. We are really starting a new timeline, a new franchise with the G.I. Joe universe. To kick it off with a distinct and stylized film, I think it really sets the precedence for follow-up movies. And so, it’s amazing to be able to tread in unexplored territory and be able to bring our own style, Robert’s ideas, and his love for Japanese cinema to the international audience.”

Andrew Koji explained the differences between his portrayal of Storm Shadow with the prior iteration by Byung-hun Lee:

“I didn’t vibe with the first films. I liked the actors. But I didn’t vibe. I remember when I saw G.I. Joe like ten years ago. I saw Storm Shadow and I thought, really? Is that our place, Asians in western screens? We take our tops off and say exposition? I don’t want that. With this, we tried to make a real, grounded [story]. We obey the laws of G.I. Joe. But I hope this is the most interesting, layered Storm Shadow we’ve seen. I want younger Asian actors to go, ‘Yeah, there’s a place for us.”
