Official G. I. Joe Digital Trading Cards And Stickers Coming To Quidd

Posted on June 2, 2018 at 3:34 am by Silver Optimus under G.I. Joe Video Games

A week ago, Quidd digital trading card and sticker app was suddenly updated with new and official content from Hasbro‘s Evergreen branding.

A week later, both companies announced their official partnership with new content from Hasbro’s Transformers, My Little Pony, Magic: The Gathering and Monopoly franchises. But the best part from the announcement is the fact that the companies confirmed G. I. Joe related content in near future.

“Starting today, Quidd will begin to create, distribute and sell limited-edition digital stickers, trading cards and toys from 40 of Hasbro’s brands. This expansive collaboration will transform Hasbro’s iconic intellectual properties, including DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, GI JOE, and NERF, into rare, one-of-a-kind digital stickers, GIFs, trading cards and digital toys that can be purchased, traded and displayed through Quidd’s free mobile application.”

Regarding the partnership, Hasbro stated:

“Quidd’s unique platform will allow our fans to engage and interact with our brands in a new and compelling format, With more ‘first’ experiences coming digitally, Quidd’s ability to leverage storytelling through digital stickers, cards and toys is something that our community will embrace.”

Michael Bramlage, co-Founder and CEO of Quidd stated:

“We’re excited to announce this innovative partnership, bringing the truly amazing Hasbro portfolio of brands to our marketplace,Our fast-growing community will get to experience the depth of Hasbro’s visionary worlds by owning and interacting with rare digital characters, many of which will only be made available as digital exclusives.”

Based on the content on the app catering to the Transformers franchise, we can expect the following for G. I. Joe:

ARAH or Evergreen G. I. Joe Trading Cards
Character face stickers
Trading Cards featured on G. I. Joe: Battlegrounds
3D Models of the toys
Possible concept art and final designs for upcoming G. I. Joe related entertainment content.
G. I. Joe Kawaii Stickers

You can check out the two press releases (one business related and the other geared towards the fans), after the jump. You can download the app via Quidd’s official website.

G.I. Joe Movie 3 D.J. Caruso To Direct The Future Of The Brand – No Pressure

Posted on March 18, 2018 at 4:16 pm by DESTRO under G.I. Joe Movie

Not that long ago rumors were floating around that D.J. Caruso was chosen to be the director of the next G.I. Joe Movie. Recently AMC news ran a clip saying he was in contract talks to be our next official director for G.I. Joe 3 the live action movie. All signs are pointing to D.J. being the future of the franchise and the direction the brand will take.

D.J. Caruso has directed episodes of the legendary TV series The Shield, Eagle Eye, Disturbia xXx: Return of Xander Cage and many others. If you have ever watched The Return of Xander Cage, you can see there is lots of side by side fighting with a diverse list of characters. So he already has a G.I. Joe style film under his belt and he understand action enough that this could really be the choice we have all been waiting for.

I’m actually half way excited. Sorry to sound so jaded, but this brand requires an intimate understanding of it’s vast history in the same way Star Wars is treated. The unique individual uniforms help tell the story of each character, same goes for the vehicles. A Real American Hero is sacred to the fans and to be honest what everybody is expecting (Modern Update).

I’m not sure what direction he will take the film in but for me it needs to feel like home. The last two films have missed that mark in both Tone and Style. G.I. Joe is an epic tale just like Star Wars is. Are you going to make a Legendary film series or just another summer movie that will be long forgotten two weeks after release? He now has a brand with rich history and lore to further develop. The options and characters are endless. I wish I was in your shoes.

What do you think of D.J. Caruso directing G.I. Joe 3? Let us know after the jump.

In Response To Christopher Eccleston Loathing G.I. Joe

In Response To Christopher Eccleston Loathing G.I. Joe

This Actor should never be allowed near a G.I. Joe Movie set ever again and would never be welcome by the fans after that rant. He comes off as if the role was beneath his feet. I don’t think Eccleston understands the gravity of the role and what could have been. It’s like getting the role of Darth Vader and hating on the role front to back. You had a chance to be a part of a killer franchise universe as one of it’s greatest characters and you pooped all over it. The least you could have done was work out for the role, I mean have you seen Destro? Your just another reason why this movie franchise needs a deep reboot-reset.
