Thanks to our sister site TFW2005, we have learned that Super Impulse is bringing-forth a new series of officially licensed World’s Smallest G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero toyline.

An image shared on Juegos Juguetes y coleccionables Facebook is giving us a good look at some early packaged samples of ARAH figures including Duke and Snake Eyes.

Despite the small size, the figures are actually articulated to some extent.

We currently do not have an exact release date or the prices for the figures.

In addition to the 80s G.I. Joe line, the company will also bring Transformers and My Little Pony figures from the same era. Other Hasbro properties such as Nerf, Stretch Armstrong and Retro G.I. Joe will also receive this tiny treatment.

You can check out the images, attached with this news post.

Sideshow and Pop Culture Shock Collectibles present the Baroness 1:4 Scale Statue, fighting for Cobra against your brigade of G.I. Joe collectibles.

The Baroness Statue measures 22” tall as the ruthless lieutenant straddles the turret cannon of the Moray while it sinks beneath the water. Blue translucent waves churn against the red hydrofoil as Baroness stands her ground, waiting for extraction from the battle against G.I. Joe.

The Baroness features an entirely sculpted costume inspired by her classic animated appearance. Her sleek black catsuit, boots, and grey gloves have dynamic textures that mimic the movement of real fabric, along with grey piping accents for detail. Her determined portrait includes her famous black-rimmed glasses, while red lipstick and the Cobra logo on her chest add a pop of color to her dark look. The Baroness is armed with a pistol and rifle, making this femme fatale a dangerous beauty to behold.

The Exclusive Edition of the Baroness 1:4 Scale Statue includes an alternate smirking portrait with dramatic, windswept hair. Give the Baroness some added attitude with this exclusive display option.

Carry out Cobra’s latest battle plans and enlist the Baroness 1:4 Scale Statue from PCS Collectibles in your G.I. Joe collection today!

HASBRO AND ASICS TEAM UP FOR G.I. JOE SHOE LINE

NOW AVAILABLE EXCULSIVELY AT FOOT LOCKER

Limited edition GEL-LYTE III shoes inspired by iconic G.I. Joe characters Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes; New Era and Hex offer apparel and accessories to complete the look

(PAWTUCKET, R.I. – Feb. 22, 2019) – Global play and entertainment group Hasbro Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS) today announced a collaboration with footwear brand ASICS to create all-new colorways inspired by two fan-favorite G.I. Joe characters: Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes. The special edition GEL-LYTE III® shoes and coordinating apparel and accessories from New Era and Hex will be available exclusively at Foot Locker (NYSE: FL) stores worldwide February 22, 2019.

The line is inspired by an epic chapter in the G.I. Joe lore: the rivalry between Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes. Once brothers in arms as part of the Arashikage Clan, they find themselves on opposing sides of the struggle between G.I. Joe and Cobra. Now Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes each adorn their own GEL-LYTE® III shoe designed by world renowned pop artist Anderson Bluu. Uncompromising on style and comfort, the GEL-LYTE® III boasts iconic and innovative design that wouldn’t be complete without the split tongue and ASICS’ famous GEL® technology cushioning; a silicone-like material that effectively absorbs shock and protects the feet from high-impact strikes.

The black Snake Eyes model features a crystal rubber outsole with a discovery element, premium emblem and reflective detailing with black leather; the model is elevated and modernized with custom art on the insert. The white Storm Shadow model features a crystal rubber outsole which masks the character beneath while the premium emblem detailing grounds the model in the story. Through the intertwining of story and design aesthetic the model is elevated and modernized with custom art on the insert. On the bottom of both shoe models is an iced outsole revealing Zartan – a shadowy figure who plays a key part in the Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow story.

“ASICS has a solid reputation of launching innovative designs to consumers across the globe and we are proud to bring G.I. Joe characters to life in an entirely original way,” said Casey Collins, General Manager and Senior Vice President of Entertainment and Licensing at Hasbro. “We know fans and collectors will appreciate the care and detail ASICS has taken in every aspect of the release from the shoe detailing to the packaging.”

“We were inspired by the story of Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes to create these shoes in collaboration with Hasbro,” said Lindsey Sweeney, Global GM Sportstyle Footwear, ASICS. “The characters represent a true Yin and Yang – a duality and symmetry that link their lives together – and we were excited to take that inspiration to our GEL-LYTE III® model.”

The ASICS x G.I. JOE shoes will be sold exclusively at FootLocker.com and select POP by Foot Locker doors because Knowing is Half the Battle.

under G.I. Joe Movie

Speaking to the gathered audience at the Toy Fair 2019 Hasbro Investor Preview Event, CEO Brian Goldner highlighted future plans for the G.I. Joe franchise.

Mr. Goldner stated that the next G.I. Joe movie is planned for 2020.

He also revealed the newly updated movie logo. Exactly as we heard a couple of weeks ago, the company has reverted back to the original ARAH logo for the movie. You can check it out, after the jump.

However, the most surprising statement came next. Hasbro will NOT be funding for the upcoming movie. Mr. Goldner stated that they took this decision since the movie has already acquired the funding it needs.

“For next year, we are developing live action films: G.I. Joe and Micronauts. For 2021, we’re working on an animated CG 3D My Little Pony feature film and a live action Dungeons & Dragons film. Our funding model will vary between films. G.I. Joe already has funding and we will likely not contribute. For other live action projects, we may fund up to 50% of the production budget; recognizing more modest budget model that we’ve established with both Bumblebee and the 2017 My Little Pony animated feature.”

This move may also indirectly mean that Hasbro will only be minimally involved with the creative control of the movie.

You can check out the rest of our coverage via TFW2005. Don’t forget to join us tomorrow (02/15/2019) for our Toy Fair 2019 Main Event coverage.

Producer Loranzo di Bonaventura will address the gathered audience at the 2018 VRTL Media Summit (organized yearly by Paramount Pictures) to talk about his past, present and future work.

What’s so special about this announcement is the official Paramount Pictures press blurb for the media; seemingly confirming the title of the next G.I. Joe movie.

“Upcoming releases are the Transformers spin-off Bumblebee (2018), directed by Travis Knight and starring Hailee Steinfeld and John Cena and Pet Sematary (2019). Films in development include a Sammy Davis Jnr biopic and Snake Eyes, both for Paramount Pictures.”

Coming from an official Paramount Pictures website, we can take this announcement as the official title reveal for the movie which was also privately revealed, not too long ago.

It is highly likely that the audience will hear more about the future of the G.I. Joe Live Action Movie Franchise as well.

If you want to listen to Mr. Bonaventura you will have to dish out $900 (for pre-registration before November 5th) or $1500 (for regular registration). However, in order to be eligible for the tickets, you must be a prolific member of the entertainment industry with many years of industry expertise in addition to be in a senior position of the company you work for (which should also be a well established company in the entertainment industry).

As always, major entertainment news outlets may provide what was discussed, but it is too early to tell whether the information regarding G.I. Joe will hit the internet unless there is a journalist who care enough to report the topic.

Snake Eyes is slated to release on March 27th, 2020 with a screenplay by Evan Spiliotopoulos. You can check out the full press release, after the jump.
