From TVShowsonDVD.com:

Shout! Factorygijoe-s1pt1_int has revealed a new “beauty shot” picture of their packaging – including the discs, disc case, outer slipcover and bonus rub-on tatoos – for their upcoming release of G.I.

After an undetermined amount of time, the Complete Series set will then be made available in stores.

In the meantime, the coolness factor of these releases has gone up even further, with word from the DVD producer at Shout!’s message boards that he is painstakingly trying to make every effort to deliver the original broadcast versions of every Sunbow-produced episode, where at all possible. And Shout!’s disc-by-disc “track” listing for the Season 1.1 set has been revealed at their official consumer site, including interesting new details about the bonus material. Here’s that list, followed by the new shot of the package:

Complete G.I. Joe animated series coming on DVD!

Posted on by

shoutjoedvdThis 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.
