Hot off the wire we just got word of a new G.I. Joe Retro Line via Walmart computer listings (@LivingRangerKey) on Twitter. This will be a welcome addition to all the ARAH 3 3/4 fans as the GIJOE line heats up again. Listings include G.I. Joe and Cobra Vehicles.
Check out all the new GIJOE Retro Line information after the jump.
This is definitely a fandom splitting topic, but if GI Joe were to return to retail this moment, how would you like to see it represented?
* Old school o-ring?
* A continuation of the 25th style packaging with new sculpts and a continuation of unreleased figures?
* 6 Inch!!
* Other?

With the huge success of Haslab’s first outing, the Vintage Collection Jabba’s Sail Barge (The Khetanna,) meeting roughly 175% of their goal to the tune of nearly four and a half million dollars, it’s safe to say Hasbro will go back to that well in the future. With this in mind, what would you honestly be willing to pay for a new Flagg?

Thanks to HissTank member KuuKuuSon for informing us that his Kickstarter for his Rank & File Volumes 2 & 3 are live!
The Rank & File Guide volumes 2 and 3 archive the remaining mass produced G.I. Joe product by fully displaying every G.I. Joe action figure produced between the The Rise of Cobra, The Pursuit of Cobra, 30th Anniversary/Renegades, Retaliation, 50, and G.I. Joe Basic Asst. series; complete with every accessory and variation produced.
Not only are the accessories shown alongside the action figures, they have been carefully cataloged in an upcoming volume to guarantee the proper shade of accessory goes to the appropriate action figure. To top it off, every vehicle and play set released in the 4″ era has been documented and every easily removable piece has been individually photographed, ensuring collector completion. Theses full color, 52 page and 48 page (respectably) resource manuals beautifully illustrate the six series’ combined 328 action figures, 77 vehicles, and every accessory, including all known variations.
Not only is every accessory present and accounted for, they have each been assigned a unique number and identified throughout the resource guides. Each action figure has been carefully examined between its initial run and further re-releases to ensure that an accurate sample is clearly and concisely presented; perfect for the collector who is identifying individual action figures or sorting through unorganized lots.
Back in 2007 we all got to see some wonderful images online and in magazines of a new line of GI Joe action figures. I personally remember seeing Snake Eyes and was super excited to learn more.
Initially we got two 5-packs, one Cobra and one GI Joe. Packaged in a beautiful box with either a Cobra or GI Joe logo music box, precut file cards, tons of accessories and figure stands.
We all soon discovered that with removable heads, body parts, and accessories, these became a customizer’s dream! They enabled us to tweak our figures to our individual liking and then be able to share our customs and collections online.
Soon after came yet another awesome 5-pack, featuring more Cobra baddies and then a series of carded figures with ARAH inspired art with characters like Beachhead, Flint and Shipwreck… the rest is history.
Tell us your 25th Anniversary story after the jump.
Thanks to Mike Samsel for posting up images of these awesome custom ARAH G.I. Joe vs G1 Transformers box sets. I would buy almost all of these if Hasbro did these up.
