A new article over at Inside the Ropes highlights Sgt Slaughter’s road to becoming the first real life G.I. Joe. This is a very interesting read and I highly recommend checking out this awesome story.
When the meeting was done and I got up to leave, I said, ‘I’ll tell you what, gentlemen, my name is Sgt Slaughter and I am the real G.I. Joe. You’re looking at G.I. Joe.’ I gave this little promo and walked away. My attorney said their mouths all dropped open.

Happy 2020, everybody. We have an exciting year ahead. With G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes live action movie heading to theaters in October, we are sure to see new G.I. Joe toys on shelves. We even received a word regarding a G.I. Joe Evergreen toyline, as well.
The franchise is kicking things off on the New Year’s Day with our first look at the official images from the Super Impulse – World’s Smallest G.I. Joe vs. Cobra toyline.
As we mentioned on our initial post, Wave 1 consists of Duke, Roadblock and Snake Eyes.
Each figure is 1.25 inches tall and comes inside a replica of the original action figure blister card.
The figures are packed with miniature versions of their original accessories; unlike most other World’s Smallest toys.

NYCC 2019 came and went with very little presence from the G.I. Joe franchise. Recently concluded Brand Licensing Europe Expo 2019 also featured G.I. Joe in some capacity.
We’ve announced a while back that G.I. Joe will be featured as a Hasbro Heritage brand during the expo in question.
It just so happens that G.I. Joe was showcased at the booth with several random comic book pages. We’ve learned this info through 2005 Boards member Hawksford. However, we do not have any images at the moment.
Speaking to the gathered press, Hasbro Vice President Claire Gilchrist stated that the company has been been working on for some time to move from being a traditional toy company to a more nebulous ‘play and entertainment company‘. “The potential that the pending eOne acquisition brings to that goal is tremendous, and is a testament to our conviction to grow our vision. Just walk around the stand and see what we have on show. I’m confident you’ll agree”.
Despite the minuscule capacity, it is nice to know that there was some presence at all. For the past few year’s, G.I. Joe franchise was not seen or heard from Hasbro’s side. The company actively pitching ideas to potential license-holders is a good omen to the year to come.
Toy Book is giving fans another look at the World’s Smallest G.I. Joe Vs. Cobra line by Super Impulse.
This time, we are treated with Roadblock.
Sunday treat: After revealing #Transformers & #GIJoe World’s Smallest by @SuperImpulseLtd, many asked about other characters. Here’s #OptimusPrime & #Roadblock. Remember, these are prototypes/not final packaging.
Thanks to a product listing on Deep Discount, it was revealed that each figure will be priced at $13.00 and the fist wave (consisting of Duke, Snake Eyes and Roadblock) will be available on July 31st, 2019.
