Yes, you’ve read the title right: Action Figures!

We received a reliable news tip regarding Jazwares’ G.I. Joe toyline. Apparently, the toys were on display during Nuremberg Toy Fair 2020, with limited access to journalists.

Though the information we received is scarce, the info clearly stated that the toys were indeed action figures; rather than role play items or accessories.

But wait, there’s more… the content was described as ‘a wide selection‘; indicating a possible large lineup of characters.

To top it off, the figures were told to be ‘looking great‘.

As always, we’d like to ask our readers to take things with a grain of salt. But, we’d actually like to give this info the benefit of the doubt; considering the reliability of the source.

CinemaCon has announced its 2020 lineup of presentations; showcasing never-before-seen trailers, tidbits and footage from various upcoming movies for the year.

Naturally, our [snake] eyes are on the presentation that is to be held on 2nd of April.

Titled as ‘Paramount Pictures Invites You To An Exclusive Presentation Highlighting Its Upcoming Slate‘, the event will go on for 1.5 hours.

Paramount delivers one of the most prominent of presentations at CinemaCon and it is customary for them to bring in the main stars from the movies they’ll showcase during the panel.

While Jim Carrey (Dr. Robotnik) was the star last year with first time footage from the movie (Sonic The Hedgehog — prior to the delay), Paramount is said to bring Henry Golding (Snake Eyes) to this year’s presentation.

Now, it isn’t hard to put two and two together. CinemaCon 2019 had a mock-trailer for the Snake Eyes movie with footage from G.I. Joe: Rise Of Cobra and G.I. Joe: Retaliation, but the 2020 edition will most definitely have at least a Teaser Trailer from Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins. If we look into the past, this was always the case with Paramount movies even if they are still in the last stages of production (eg. Transformers: Bumblebee).

CinemaCon is for the invited journalists only. But, we’ve never seen any restrictions placed on footage descriptions. This is exactly why CinemaCon is a hit among any fandom. You’ll at least get to read about it.

Ending the current partnership with Omnicom’s OMD, Hasbro has entered a new partnership with GroupM for the global toy giant’s advertisement and media requirements.

“We’ve made the decision to consolidate media buying for Hasbro under a single agency in order to both drive efficiencies and to provide the best tools and resources for our current collective needs across our global business,” a Hasbro representative said. “After a thorough review of the agency landscape and our current partnerships, moving forward, all of our global markets will be resourced exclusively through GroupM.”

Hasbro will spend a whopping $225 million annually, for their advertisements.

Back in 2013, Hasbro enlisted OMD after what was declared as an ‘extensive review process’ at the time. Participants in the 2013 review included then-incumbent Interpublic Group of Cos.’ Initiative, which had only won the business from OMD three years earlier. Now, the reins are with GroupM; who is the world’s largest advertising media company, by billings. Headquartered in New York City, the company has over 32,000 employees and 400 offices in over 100 countries.

Speaking to Den Of Geeks, actor Henry Golding stated that Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins movie will feature many physical stunts including katana fights but very little CGI.

“I don’t know if you’ve ever seen the series Rurouni Kenshin, but the stunt coordinator from the films that were based on the anime worked with us for Snake Eyes,” Golding says. “And for anyone who hasn’t seen Rurouni Kenshin, it has the most ridiculously amazing fight scenes. So we’re going to those same types of moves and fighting and it brings it all back to traditional katana fighting.”

He didn’t forget to mention about his cast members and characters they represent.

“We’ll have Storm Shadow, we have a character called Kenta who will be revealed. There’s Akiko, we’ll have Scarlett joining us, who is played by Samara Weaving. Of course Iko Uwais, who plays Hard Master, is absolutely insane.”

Regarding the mythology:

“It is so authentic, unlike all the other Hollywood films that you’ve seen, this really pays homage to Snake Eyes and his origin of how he becomes the weapon that he is. That is my biggest takeaway; you are going to be blown away by the visuals we created, visuals that are grounded in reality. This is not a big CGI movie; it is all physical stunts that we’ve done, and I think people will appreciate it.”

We’ve included a clip from Rurouni Kenshin, after the jump.
