After years of absence, Hasbro’s Official G.I. Joe Toyline Website is back with official images and info from the brand we know and love.

The site now confirms the authenticity of the leaked Classified Series images after a misfire by Malaysian G.I. Joe Waterpark.

The site also has a page dedicated to the upcoming Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins movie.

It also looks back at the history of the franchise and a new secret section titled Classified Files for upcoming figures.

You can log onto www.gijoe.com for more info.

Following the arrival of the elusive G.I. Joe Retro Line to Canada, we now have a Bill Of Lading for United States.

Filed under the customer id for Hasbro Inc., corresponding to the Providence (Rhode Island) address, a shipment of G.I. Joe Retro figures has arrived all the way from China.

One shipment seems to contain 504 items; which could either be individual toys or cases (we are speculating that it is the latter). There are multiple “items” listed, but we are unable to take a look at the documents unless we dish out some cash to Panjiva.

Nevertheless, it seems as though that things are indeed in motion and it is only a matter of time until we have our official (or unofficial) first look.

Official details:

  • HFE #: 0452417489/ 00010
  • CUSTOMER #: 0452416330
  • MATERIAL #: E88575L00
  • MATERIAL DESC: GIJ RETRO

We previously reported that industry veterans Jeremy Latcham and Michael Lombardo were set to join Hasbro‘s eOne to cater the company’s entertainment needs.

Michael Lombardo, who was just a consultant for Entertainment One, is now fully onboard with the studio as the Head Of Global TV. Under his new leadership, the company is set to develop programming based on Hasbro properties including Power Rangers, Transformers, Dungeons & Dragons, and more.

Mr. Lombardo will also oversee eOne’s current slate that includes ABC’s The Rookie, HBO’s Run and the Growing Up Hip Hop franchise on WE.

“Throughout my career, I have been driven by a passion for great stories. I’m excited to join eOne where we have some of the most beloved brands in the world to inspire our work, in addition to an outstanding talent-rich pipeline built by a team that I very much look forward to leading” said Lombardo.

Entertainment One stated “We couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome Michael to the eOne team. His incredibly impressive history of success during his long tenure at HBO resulted in some of the most ground-breaking, iconic television series over the past two decades. A true champion of creative excellence, Michael is the ideal leader to guide our television strategy at a time where audiences are demanding content of the highest quality.”

Following the kick-start of G.I. Joe: Classified Series toyline back in February, we’ve been hearing more and more info regarding various licensed material for G.I. Joe.

But for the first time, we have received a word on licensing products specifically catering to the upcoming Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins live action movie.

Hasbro‘s longtime partner Pacific Licensing Studio will once again act as a middleman to help popularize products from the new movie.

Pacific Licensing previously worked on several Hasbro properties including Transformers Evergreen (2016), My Little Pony (2011), Playskool Baby (2018), Monopoly, Baby Alive, Nerf, Play-doh, Hasbro Gaming, and more. Based on their previous work, we may get to see t-shirts, school supplies, mugs, party accessories, baby care products etc. based on artwork from the movie.

Official website of Pacific Licensing Studio has been updated with a new page for Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins, but only contains filler data unlike other pages of the same site. It is likely that we will see more as we approach the movie release date.

Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins star Henry Golding is set to attend Steve Aoki’s Neon Future Dinner Party as a guest for the new episode.

Hasbro’s fan channel Pulse has been updated with a picture of Classified Series Snake Eyes followed by the message below:

“Some Secrets Must Be Kept Silent

We’ll Be Back Soon!”

To further fuel the matter, the official Twitter account of Skydance (production company of G.I. Joe Live Action Movie Series) has been updated with a short video featuring clips of Snake Eyes from previous G.I. Joe movies.

We are yet to see a trailer for the upcoming Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins movie.

July 2020 edition of Japanese entertainment magazine Movie Hidden will feature a special article on Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins (known in Japan as G.I. Joe: Jet Black Snake Eyes).

The article titled ‘G.I. Joe: Jet Black Snake Eyes – The Secret Of Shooting‘ features an interview with the movie’s action director Kenji Tanigaki.

While not much is known regarding the content, we did found out that Mayor Hideyasu Kiyomoto of Himeji will make a cameo appearance in the movie as a ‘military doctor’ who attends to the injured. Mr. Kiyomoto himself is a doctor in real life, but we do not know who exactly are the ‘injured’ he speaks of (Snake Eyes? G.I. Joe team?).

We are yet to find out if the magazine will feature any unseen stills from Snake Eyes movie.

The magazine, though marked for July, is out now and you can purchase a physical copy via Amazon Japan. Unfortunately, a digital copy is unavailable for us. But, we’ll update you all as soon as we receive more info.

Mountain Lion will add one more number to the growing character list of the line.

As with Puma, Foxtrot, and Leopard, we currently do not know which character Mountain Lion is named after. But in time, we will know… and knowing is half the battle.
