Unreleased 2016 G.I.Joe Card Art Revealed?

Posted on February 8, 2017 at 6:30 pm by C.I.A.D. under G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary

Skinny & General Hawk have come across a really cool find by way of the Deviant Art Gallery of Mr. Ross Hughes. Ross worked on the colors for the cart art shown on the 2016 assortment and shared his work via the aforementioned gallery. What’s really cool to see is not only characters that were released, but those that weren’t. We’ve mirrored some of those images here, but make sure to check out the gallery linked above for the full assortment. Included in the images are –

  • Action Man – AM is depicted in two different styles; One Arctic, one urban.
  • Snow Serpent – Perhaps a new build? The 2 shown remind me of the TRU Exclusive Snow Serpent and the Snow Serpent Officer
  • Cobra Officer – Although we did receive a female Cobra Officer, this one sports a short hair style and a red Cobra logo.
  • Shooter – In olive green rather than the black we received at retail.
  • Stinger Driver – There’s 3 different versions; 2 that appear similar other than in face mask style and one that has an uncanny resemblance        to the Rise of Cobra Ice Viper
  • Wild Weasel – We’ve recently seen samples of Wild Weasel so it’s great to see what could have been his potential artwork.
  • Rock ‘n’ Roll – The Joe heavy machine gunner is seen here in what appears to be art based on the concept vault version that we’ve all                  drooled over in the past.

Who knows what the future holds for these offerings, but fingers crossed that we see some, if not all of them in 2017! What are your thoughts on Ross’ gallery? Sound off after the break!

The Final G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary Iron Grenadier Photo Shoot

Posted on January 22, 2017 at 8:24 pm by DESTRO under G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary, Photo Shoots

Destro has built his army of Iron Grenadier troopers from his bodyguards. Chosen for their endurance, tenacity, and pure meanness, these troopers are part of the weapon supplier’s plans to take control of the Cobra organization. They are trained to infiltrate an area, spreading panic and chaos that result in a increased demand for weapons (supplied by Destro, of course). Mercenary to the core, their reward is a prcentage of the profits gained from their endeavors.

Joining The G.I.Joe Team – Bill Nedrow On The Creation Of Stiletto

Posted on January 18, 2017 at 10:38 am by C.I.A.D. under G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary

Hasbro Pulse has given us an in depth look at the creation of Stiletto, an all new G.I.Joe character brought to life by Bill Nedrow via Kindle Worlds. You may recall that Hasbro ran a contest, where one lucky winner would have their character brought to life in modern action figure form.

Here’s a brief blurb from the article –

Every good story starts with strong characters, and every character must start with a purpose. I never set out to create an action figure; I wrote with the intention of crafting the type of G. I. Joe story that I’d always dreamed of reading.  I’d hoped that G. I. Joe: First Salvo would resonate with other fans of the franchise, and when the overwhelmingly positive feedback I received informed me that it had, I began G. I. Joe: Honor.  Along the way, I continued to try to craft a character-driven narrative that would stay true to the rich mythology of the brand while still providing a take on the story that was original and unique.

Thanks to Bill, Hasbro and Kindle Worlds, we now have our own Stiletto figure. The entire article is a fantastic read and definitely something you’ll want to check out for yourself. Once you do, join us after the break for discussion already in progress.

G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary Cobra Viper Photo Shoot

Posted on January 16, 2017 at 6:50 pm by DESTRO under G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary, Photo Shoots

Cobra Vipers are the backbone of the Cobra legions. This front-line force is heavily equipped and highly trained for battle. If there’s a dirty job that needs doing, these guys are first in line and not only for the sheer pleasure of causing mayhem. They also get rewards as they move up the ranks, making them willing to follow any orders that give them a chance to earn the favor of Cobra Commander.

Action Man 50th Anniversary At London Toy Fair 2017

Posted on January 15, 2017 at 7:18 am by Silver Optimus under G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary, G.I. Joe International, Toy Fair

Art+Science Organization will hold a special 50th Anniversary celebration at this year’s London Toy Fair to commemorate the Action Man toyline by Hasbro.

“To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Action Man, Art + Science International, under licence from Hasbro, is launching a specially developed range of handmade Collector Edition Action Man figures.

The 50th Anniversary collection will be available until autumn 2017, and new additions to the limited edition range will be announced early 2017.

“This unique range has been developed for the gift and collector’s market and we hope that it triggers many fond memories of everyone’s childhood play. Through these product releases we hope to capture the very best of the Action Man brand”, said Peter Rooke, managing director of Art + Science International.”

Those who visit the show can take a look at the 2017 lineup at Stand F36. We’ve attached a scan of a small leaflet with this news post.

Due to multiple Toy Fairs falling close together, Hasbro (along with Mattel) will be skipping this year’s London Toy Fair. Happily however, Hasbro distributor A.B.Gee officially stated that Hasbro’s 2017 toyline will be featured at London Toy Fair by them. The list includes Transformers as well as Nerf. For more information, visit our sister site TFW2005.COM.

G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary Cobra S.A.W. Viper Photo Shoot

Posted on January 4, 2017 at 2:20 pm by DESTRO under G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary, Photo Shoots

Every S.A.W. Viper is equipped with a gyro-stabilized, cryogenically cooled mini-chain gun that has an auto-ranging optical sighting system complete with infraed night vision capabilities. This means that every trooper has a highly accurate, low-malfunction machine gun that won’t burn out the barrel during intense rapid-fire bursts. Don’t get pinned down by these guys; their weapons have integral sound suppressors, effective flash inhibitors, and powerful image-intensifiers: you won’t hear or see them coming.

G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary Cobra B.A.T. Photo Shoot

Posted on December 29, 2016 at 9:23 pm by DESTRO under G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary, Photo Shoots

Cobra B.A.T.’s are mechanized troopers built en masses to create an endless supply of “fire and forget” soldiers: combat machines that keep fighting until the enemy reduces them to scrap metal. They go in first to wear down G.I. Joe forces, paving the way for a fresh wave of flesh-and-blood Cobra Troops to try to finish the job. They’re a bunch of computerized tin cans with guns, but they can do a lot of damage before being reduced to smoking piles of circuits.

G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary Female Cobra Officer Photo Shoot

Posted on December 23, 2016 at 2:22 pm by DESTRO under G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary, Photo Shoots

These frontline fighters lead attack units into battle, but they are “officers” in name only. The only real rank they have is over their own little squad of troopers. They are among the handful of Cobra troopers who have shown some initiative or leadership skills, qualifying them to be in charge of others, however minimally. Ultimately, someone has to keep the ranks together and moving with a purpose so that even low-level Cobra forces can achieve their given objective.

G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary Outback Photo Shoot

Posted on December 16, 2016 at 8:54 pm by DESTRO under G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary, Photo Shoots

Outback was an instructor at both the Survival School and the Jungle Warfare Training Center. Most people are intimidated by wilderness. They don’t feel comfortable where there’s no sign of human life for miles – not Outback! He believes in being part of his environment, not its adversary. As a survival expert, he trains the team to spot hidden dangers when setting up a shelter and to be able to fight in remote, inhospitable environments.
