Episodes Of Highly Anticipated G.I. Joe: RESOLUTE Series To Air Online Leading Up To Broadcast Finale On Adult Swim
Hasbro announced today that G.I. Joe: Resolute, an adult fan oriented animated mini-series, will be broadcast via Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim on television as well as online. Based on the classic G.I. JOE brand, Hasbro created 60 minutes of total content for this new story which will be presented as 11 episodes.
Beginning on April 17, fans will be able to see the first five minutes of the brand new, stand-alone animated mini-series on AdultSwim.com. These episodes are broken down to ten 5-minute episodes and one 10-minute finale. Following the first episode on April 17, subsequent installments will be posted on the Adult Swim website leading up to a full presentation of the entire series. This finale will be broadcast on Adult Swim April 25 at midnight. This televised event will not only feature all episodes seen online, but will be the first time fans can watch the final 10 minutes of the G.I. Joe: Resolute saga. All episodes, including the finale, will be available to view online after this airing. Continue reading
This really is a great time to be a G.I. Joe fan. Check out the latest news from TVShowsOnDVD.com:
Excited fans have been happy to know that new season set releases are in-the-works from Shout! Factory for the original G.I. Joe animated series from the ’80s. Now hard-core fans will be even happier to hear that they won’t have to collect individual season sets, if they prefer to have it all in one big bite!
In a story posted today by trade journal Home Media Magazine, Asst. Managing Editor John Latchem talks with Shout! President Garson Foos, who publicly acknowledges their deal with Hasbro for the first time. The story concentrates on the first DVD release: June 16th’s The Transformers – The Complete 1st Season: 25th Anniversary Edition. But near the end of the story, Latchem lets the cat out of the bag about something more substantial:
Foos said Shout! Factory would follow the release with special complete-series sets of “The Transformers” and “G.I. Joe” later this summer. In the case of “G.I. Joe,” Rhino lost the rights before completing its release slate, which means many of the episodes will finally be released for the first time.
The pictures are all over the web now thanks to Ebay seller ws_toys and the auction for the carded movie Cobra Commander figure and the fans are making their voices heard. It’s a very different look for the leader of Cobra and not everyone is in agreement over its success.
Make your voice heard and vote in the poll in the forums.
