Mystery figure!

thumbs_mysteryA mystery figure has shown up in a TaoBao.com auction.  Who could this be?  A Cobra or a Joe?  Maybe it’s the Charbroil figure that has been rumored in a resent Walmart listing?  Whoever this is, one thing is for sure it will get some attention.  Thanks to Justin at Gen. Joes for the heads up! Head over to the Lights! Camera ! Cobra! for the discussion.

riseofcobraThere are auctions up at TaoBoa.com of Airborne (it looks like it could also be Dusty), Ripcord (new look), Hawk, and possibly the new IDW comic-inspired Dial Tone that was hinted at in the last Hasbro Q & A.  (Hasbro said it would something we wouldn’t expect.)  I guess we will have to wait and see as we let the chips fall where they may.

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.
