G.I. Joe: Retaliation - What's Out Now?

Amid rumors of short supply and recalls most big-box retail chains have stocked their toy aisles with G.I. Joe: Retaliation toys. In fact, just about everything has been in relatively good supply with only a few variant figures being a tad tricky to track down. To help you on your toy hunt, we've added a G.I. Joe: Retaliation product listing to our photo archive that contains all of the items available at retail. There are nine unique figures with two variants in the first wave (11 total with variants). If you're looking for the variants, Target seems to be getting shipments with the black version of Cobra Commander and the gold masked/caped G.I. Joe Trooper, while Toys R Us is the spot for the blue colored versions of the two figures. Other items included in the first wave of Retaliation toys are two figure multi-packs, two alpha-class vehicles, two bravo-class vehicles, and two delta-class vehicles.

Hasbro Reveals G.I. Joe: Retaliation Lineup

The cat's out of the bag! Hasbro has updated the G.I. Joe section of their Web site revealing a majority of their 2012 G.I. Joe: Retaliation lineup, including figures, battle packs, vehicles and role-play items. Also shown are Hasbro's San Diego Comic-Con 2012 exclusive figures--Kim Arashikage (Jinx) clad in both an updated classically-inspired, red shinobi shozoko and an un-masked variant wearing a white--and vehicle--a Transformers cross-over Shockwave / Hiss Tank v5. Hasbro teases that 14 items are yet to be revealed, one of which can be deduced to be a Joe Colron figure based on the on-page description that reads "...including an all-new, super-heroic take on ROADBLOCK, as well as JOE COLTON, the original founder of the G.I. JOE team."

New York Comic Con 2011: It's A Wrap

New York Comic Con 2011 is a wrap. Our photo gallery from the show is now live and can also be seen on our Flickr photostream. Additionally, we've added a pair of videos to our YouTube channel and a number of informational tidbits on our Twitter stream. Hasbro's debut at New York Comic Con saw the announcement of two, seven-figure packs, gave us a look at Topside--the third figure in the G.I. Joe Collectors' Club subscription service--and revealed intel that Kwinn is scheduled to be New York Comic Con's G.I. Joe exclusive, next year. If this year's news wasn't exciting enough, Hasbro's promise of a return next year,with a G.I. Joe exclusive, is sure to make New York Comic Con a destination on a lot of G.I. Joe collectors' comic-convention calendar.

Sky Striker Replacement Stickers Correct Hasbro's Flub

Tired of looking at that creased nosecone sticker on your 30th Anniversary Sky Striker? Cobra Stickers is gearing up to offer a set of replacement stickers--created specifically for the newly-released Sky Striker--which address flaws in the factory stickers. This includes the creasing on the nosecone sticker as well as the visibility and size issues with some of the tail fin stickers. The Modern replacement set will come pre-cut so you just peel and apply. Although they're not cheap ($22), they are a good alternative to the disappointing stickers included with the Sky Striker.

If you haven't had your fix of applying "No Step" stickers or you're looking for an alternative to Hasbro's sticker designs, be sure to check out Cobra Stickers' custom Classic and Low Visibility sets, as well.

G.I. Joe Action Figure and Toy Archive

One of our goals for aRealAmericanHero.com is to build a comprehensive, hi-resolution photo archive of as much G.I. Joe stuff as we can get our hands on. As you can imagine, it's quite an ambitious undertaking, but we're confident we can pull it off--in due time. Everything has a beginning, and now, so does our action figure photo archive. We've added photos of the Cobra Deviant Mobile Mech Suit with Cyber-Viper and G.I. Joe Steel Marauder Mobile Mech Suit with Kickstart as our first trial entries. We'll be following up with additional photos of these Mech suits and adding an archive page to the site, but would love your feedback in the meantime.
