Lots and Lots and Lots of new G.I. Joes

HISSTank.com added a new post with lots of new figures from upcoming comic packs, DVD packs, and other to-be-determined things. New Cobra Commander, Duke, Rock & Roll, and many other figure pictures await you there, so go check them out.

G.I. Joe "Bonus Wave" Wave 12 Pre-Orders

Over at Entertainment Earth, wave 12 (the "bonus wave," a euphemism for a repaint wave) is coming soon! This case actually has a pretty good mix, and a couple of figures which qualify as new characters. Click here to see the breakdown, which includes a carded Tripwire, Cobra Commander, Ripper, Crimson Python Patrol Guard, red logo Cobra Trooper, Storm Shadow, and two new Cobra Divers.

G.I. Joe Crimson, Greenshirt Exclusive Sets Out

The new Toys "R" Us exclusive Battle Packs have been spotted in Los Angeles. Choose from the Crimson Guard (4 guards and a commander) or Firefly vs. Greenshirts. Each pack is $24.99 and has what I consider to be some of the finest packaging out of Hasbro for this line yet.

New G.I. Joe Club Exclusives Revealed

Because fans demanded it, the club will be getting 7 exclusive figures based on the aborted final wave of direct-to-consumer figures from a few years ago. Some are, anyway-- others like Python Patrol Copperhead are new. Also available are 2006-style Airtight, Outback, Lt. Falcon, Munitia, and new Troopers and Vipers. Seeing how insanely popular the 25th Anniversary line has been, we're quite surprised to see these coming.

Also new and exciting: the 2009 club freebies! 12-inch fans can get what they're calling a "Black Talking Commander," while 3 3/4-inch fans can get a super-cool Destro's Iron Grenadier-deco version of Undertow. Undertow, of course, being one of the finest figures Hasbro ever sculpted. Get one.

New G.I. Joe Comic Packs Available

Target stores (and presumably others) are now receiving the latest batch of comic packs. Sets include Tripwire & Cobra Commander, Destro & Iron Grenadier, and Lt. Falcon & Nemesis Enforcer. Each is still only $9.99, give or take. We spotted the lot of them at a Los Angeles-area Target store. Happy hunting!

G.I. Joe Protective Cases at HasbroToyShop.com

HasbroToyShop.com is now selling this fancy G.I. JOE Official Protective Cases (10-Pack). You get 10 cases for $9.99, which isn't too bad, really.

G.I. Joe 2008, Exclusive Images

The fine fellows of HISSTank.com got their mitts on TONS of official Hasbro images of new, upcoming products.

Apparently there's going to be an Invisible Variant of Wraith, kind of annoying, but what are you going to do. We very much like the Serpentor DVD Set for a variety of reasons. Oh, and this Ultimate Battle Pack looks real nice too. What a great year!
