Hasbro press release for New York Comic Con
The gang from Pawtucket will have a real presence this year at the annual New York Comic Con and have issued a press release with details on which lines will be featured– and it looks like pretty much ALL of them.
For Joe fans, the most important information is highlighted below but you can read the full press release after the jump. The big news? The previously teased seven packs will be exclusive to online retailer BigBadToyStore.com. Anyone else thinking the remainder of the figures we saw at Joe Con and SDCC are getting the seven pack treatment– especially in light of the news that G.I. Joe is starting to disappear from 3rd quarter planograms again?
G.I. JOE
At New York Comic Con Hasbro will reveal the highly anticipated G.I. JOE 7-pack battle sets available as a Big Bad Toy Store exclusive later in 2011 for the first time at the opening of the convention. The brand that launched “the first action figure” in the mid 1960’s continues to introduce highly detailed figures and vehicles as well as comics, movies and television shows that have been embraced by millions of fans across the globe. Hasbro will also have on display in its booth a wide array of the current 2011 G.I. JOE toy line. The epic saga of G.I. JOE vs. COBRA is captured in great detail in the line’s 3.75-inch action figures featuring well known characters including DUKE, SCARLETT, COBRA COMMANDER and two of the most famous ninjas of all time, SNAKE EYES and STORM SHADOW. The brand is also looking forward to the theatrical release of the second major motion picture based on the brand hitting theaters in June, 2012 from Paramount Pictures.

2011 G.I. Joe SDCC exclusives images
Hasbro really knocked one out of the park this year with their SDCC exclusives! Based on Devil’s Due Press’ first volume of “G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers”, this year will see the release of a non-tranformable “Starscream” Skystriker as well as a pilot version of Cobra Commander. However, the icing on the plastic cake comes in the form of the Commander’s accessory– MEGATRON himself!!!
Even though I won’t be attending SDCC, I’ll be doing my darnedest to get my hands on one of these!
G.I.Joe Collectors Club 2011 Club Exclusive

2011 G.I. Joe Collector’s Club figure to be Dial-Tone?
According to a news article posted over at The Terrordrome, the latest issue of the G.I. Joe Collector’s Club newsletter states that a 25th Anniversary styled Dial-Tone will be the 2011 club exclusive figure. No other details are available except that the figure will feature an entirely new head sculpt.
Let the speculation begin on which existing parts will be used to bring classic Dial-Tone forward the new style.

Hasbro Press Release- SDCC Sgt. Slaughter Figure & Hasbro Toy Shop
Hot off the email, Hasbro has issued a press release regarding our favorite drill Sgt.
To the G.I. JOE fan community,
The passion displayed since Comic-Con on fan-forums regarding the special edition Sgt. Slaughter figures has been truly remarkable. It proves that there is a huge appetite to see this character in action figure form and we’re thrilled that the designs were so well received. We know the Sarge himself, who you may have had the chance to meet in the Hasbro booth at Comic-Con, would be honored to see such an outpouring of support and desire for this special edition figure in his likeness.
We understand there has been a misperception that Hasbro Toy Shop did not offer the primary or variant versions of the figure on the website after Comic-Con as has recently been tradition. This is not true. As publicized prior to the convention, there were indeed a limited number of Sgt. Slaughter figures (both variant and primary) available after the show; a reserve set aside specifically for HasbroToyShop.com as there is with all of our special edition figures.
SDCC Sgt. Slaughter- gone from HasbroToyShop.com!
Sometime before 10:30am CST today, the San Diego Comic Con exclusive figures began to trickle onto HasbroToyShop.com. However, in RECORD TIME, Sgt. Slaughter was listed as “sold out”, leading many to question whether he was truly available or not.
Regardless, as of right now, any attempt to buy the Sarge in either version will result in the following screen:

It’s also been reported that the GIJoe Collector’s Club is also sold out on sets of this exclusive.
