With the news of GI Joe Retaliation being pushed back to March 29 2013 followed up by Hasbro issuing a statement about the majority of the toyline being pushed back as well, comes more unsettling news. According to Variety.com, retailers are being asked to send the GI Joe Retaliation toys back to Hasbro:
“With Paramount moving the actioner from June 29 to March 29, 2013, to give it more muscle at the box office with 3D, retailers are being asked to send back the line of Hasbro toys that were starting to appear on shelves.
Some Walmart, Toys R Us and Target locations had started to stock the toys this week, although they weren’t supposed to make them available until next week. Those that did wanted to get a jump on demand, and some of the 47 items that would’ve been sold are expected to show up on eBay at inflated prices by the end of the weekend.”
Here’s more on retailer woes:
“Still, the movie’s delay is creating a headache for retailers. Because of the new line of movie-related toys, stores started to clear shelf space of existing “G.I. Joe” toys by discounting a 30th anniversary line and animated offshoot “Renegades.”
Store managers contacted by Variety said that the space that was allotted for “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” will now go to “The Amazing Spider-Man” toys and “The Avengers,” which is still doing brisk business — for Hasbro.
Mangers upset by the film’s nine-month delay said they weren’t sure if they would order the same amount of “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” toys come March, because the summer movie season typically means bigger toy business for retailers. Hasbro isn’t worried about the loss of revenue from “G.I. Joe” toy sales.”
Interestingly enough, check out how Variety ended their article:
“Yet as it tries to keep retailers happy, Hasbro now has another problem to deal with: “G.I. Joe’s” more hardcore fans, with a G.I. Joe Convention set to take place in New Orleans June 28-July 1 — the same weekend the movie was set to open.” [Read more…]

Pete@Cobra-La has come through with the heads up that the GI Joe Collector’s Club has not only announced that carded Footloose figures will be available at JoeCon 2012, but also 2 more guests:
NEIL ROSS voiced the characters of Dusty, Buzzer, Monkey Wrench, Wong and everyones favorite salty sailor, Shipwreck, in the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero cartoon series and animated movie. Transformers fans know him as the voice of Hook, Slag, Bonecrusher and Springer in the Transformers animated television series and Transformers: The Movie. A veteran voice actor, he has appeared in over two thousand animated television episodes and movies. Additionally, he’s voiced countless radio and television commercials and promos as well as narrating documentaries and biographies for A&E and E! Entertainment. Neil also narrated twenty-two episodes of Nova for the world of science on PBS.
His voice work has also been featured in many live action motion pictures including: Back To The Future II, Dick Tracy, Being John Malkovich and The Interpreter. His work has been heard in many hit Video Games such as Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2, Metal Gear Solid, Call Of Duty, Command And Conquer and Doom 3. In 2003, Neil was the announcer for the 75th Annual Academy Awards telecast.
Don’t miss this opportunity to meet Neil for autographs and hear what he has to say about his time on the G.I. Joe series during the Voice Actor Q&A’s.
WILL RYAN voiced Footloose from the original G.I. Joe cartoon series and is a versatile voice actor, or, to use a neologism of his own coining, “cineloquist”. Will can be heard performing some of his many voice characterizations in thousands of television episodes and commercials, hundreds of radio episodes and some of the most popular animated films ever made. He has evidently performed more featured parts in more Academy Award-nominated animated films than any other actor. Face it; he’s everywhere!
Among Will’s many well-known voices are Tigger, Rabbit and the singing voice of Eeyore on the Disney Channel’s “Welcome to Pooh Corner” series, broadcast twice daily for 16 years. Will created the voice of the loveable pterodactyl Petrie for George Lucas and Steven Spielberg in “The Land Before Time” animated feature. He portrayed Papa Bear in “Looney Tunes: Back in Action!” He has also been featured in Spielberg’s “An American Tail” and in Disney’s “The Little Mermaid.” He voiced Goofy for Disney for three years and gave vocal life to Yosemite Sam on several occasions for Warner Bros.
Will Ryan is also a entertaining composer and lyricist. His songs have been recorded by artists as diverse as the Pointer Sisters, Patti LaBelle and Mister T on the one hand, and Donald Duck, the Cat in the Hat, Winnie the Pooh and the Muppets on the other.
Although Will’s home is the United States, he has performed and recorded throughout the world. [Read more…]

We got the news that GI Joe Retaliation would be pushed back for 3D to March 29 2013 recently. Following up, we just got word from Hasbro that due to the delay, while a limited amount of Retaliation product is at stores now, the majority of Retaliation toys will be made available early next year in time for the film’s release. Earlier in the year(months before the delay was announced), Hasbro stated that movie accurate figures would start to appear in wave 2 since the release date of Retaliation was moved up from August to June.
So, what to do in 9 months? 9 months may be enough time for Hasbro to make movie accurate figures for release in time for the premiere of GI Joe Retaliation 3D. Hasbro has yet to reveal what else was in the works beyond what was shown at Toy Fair, but with a large catalog of existing parts, and movie toys that we have yet to see, who knows? It isn’t like they would be starting from scratch, as work on the Retaliation toyline was already underway by the time we even heard about the GI Joe 30th Anniversary line.
So perhaps, just maybe, this could be a blessing in disguise. With that said, here’s what we’d like to hear…..
What changes and/or improvements do you want to see made to the GI Joe Retaliation toyline by the time it returns in early 2013?To start things off, here’s things fans have wanted to see(and complained about) since the line was unveiled at Toy Fair 2012:
