New Joes revealed at Toy Fare

[roguetiger]

Didn't see any pics but from TNI..............

[QUOTE=TNI]- DePriest goes on with G.I.Joe. 2012 will be the 30th Anniversary of the Joe Vs Cobra mythos. A lot of things happening in 2012 so they are starting earlier to celebrate. 30th for 35th. 30 items celebrating this landmark anniversary, 12" are back as well. Brand New look, it will be tightly focused for collectors. - The 12" figures will be kid targeted and be more military not Joe Vs. Cobra oriented. Hasbro has listened to fans on the 3.75 line-up for this line. - Look for a new look for the line, G.I.Joe, Cobra, Renegades will be in one assortment but the differences in the line will be reflected on the cardbacks. So you will know which ones are Renegades. - Haek, Cobra Trooper looks to be female from the image shown, Steel Brigade, Blowtorch, Jungle BAT and Cobra Commander will be in wave 3 Spring and be on the POC cardbacks. These look like ARAH figures except for Hawk. Lots of accessories. - Wave 1 of Fall will see the debut of Renegades. Firefly, Techno Viper, Hazard Viper, Cobra Commander, Snake-Eyes and Duke. These will not be done in animated style like say Clone Wars. So they match the animated stylings but using the existing tools though they are creating new tools as well. Basically they will have the costumes of Renegades but be done in 25th/POC style. Vehicles Black Dragon Vtol, Crimson Hiss Tank, Vamp. - 25th Anniversary style Skystriker will be on shelves Fall 2011. Looks like the original. Comes with ACE. It is retooled. It will hold 1 figure, not 2 because they couldnt make it to hold 2 of the new figures.No Parachute either. - Comic Con will be a Transformers/GIJoe Starscream Skystriker with Cobra Commander and Megatron blaster. Doesn't Transform, just a redeco of the regular Skystriker. - There will be more stuff for this 30 for 35th anniversary line later this year. - Mike Fogel Jeff Kline is on stage to talk about G.I.Joe Renegades, the cartoon. Show a clip which debuts 2 new characters, Crimson Guard Commander Twins. The Crimson Guard is also introduced. Though they seem to be more of a cult than soldiers, and Scarlett, Duke and Roadblock seem to be members of the cult fighting Snake-Eyes and Tunnel Rat. The twins seems to have some type of memorizing powers which is how they control people in their cult. - Q&A with the two, one of the reasons why they started at the beginning was because these guys were more fans of the 12" than 3.75" so they weren't as familiar with them so it was a way to learn and develop them as they go from the beginning. - They also wanted to make Cobra evil. In the original series, Cobra never seemed to win so with this show, in a way Cobra has already one and that makes them more evil. - Shipwreck is a character that was hinted to we might see in the near future of the show. - Hasbro plays a tribute video to Clement Sauve - a G.I. JOE: RENEGADES' Character Designer and artist who passed away earlier this year after loosing his battle with cancer.[/QUOTE]

BUT the vehicles section lists Vehicles Black Dragon Vtol, Crimson Hiss Tank, Vamp.

- 25th Anniversary style Skystriker will be on shelves Fall 2011. Looks like the original. Comes with ACE. It is retooled. It will hold 1 figure, not 2 because they couldnt make it to hold 2 of the new figures.No Parachute either.

- Comic Con will be a Transformers/GIJoe Starscream Skystriker with Cobra Commander and Megatron blaster. aka SDCC

so New SKYSTRIKER...but single seater.... Black Dragon VTOL sounds interesting..

also the Indiana Jones line that didn't make it here in the states will be available at the SDCC as well

Totally lame that the Skystriker's lost half it's gimmicks... but then again it may be half the price of an original so we'll see.

The cones that the Techno Viper come with look awesome. Also, the Viper and Trooper interest me a surprising amount. Crazy legs on the other hand... he makes the original look so much better now.

[roguetiger]

The pics at the GIJOEclub of the Skystriker shows 2 seats......... :confused:


Terror Drome is reporting that it was mistakenly identified as a single-seater, and will actually seat two.

Though that Skystriker in Justin's pics at Generalsjoes only shows one... :confused:

[sithviper]

Digging the 2 Zaranna figures, especially the one in black :)

[San Pickles]

I may be wrong in my time frame of events. But I was under the impression that the new GI Joe film would be out in 2012. Will there be a movie tie in as well? That would be a lot of product being released at the same time. I like the idea of a new Skystriker being released.

[rnrhero]

Love the Skystriker finally coming out. I am going to have to get someone to pick me up the SDCC version as there is no way I can go.

[black rhino]

i cant believe those are joes... they look so... wrong. the Hawk looks like a cheesy knockoff. steel brigade looks like crap... didt bother to look at much more!

[Da Talent]

Today was a tough day, as I watched a sizable fraction of my salary float away... Fuck that....

Today was a good day.

You gonna make a green Skystriker with LEDs? Cause I think that would look really cool.

[vespapilot79]

The SDCC version has two seats too.. Guessing we will have to wait and see..And at 30+ a pop..there goes an easy 150..Im buying a few.. ;) A few good figures too, not all that impressed witht he jungle BAT..Its ok, im sure ill end up buying a few for pics..Def excited about techno vipers tho!!

[tycondrius23]

okies what lucky sod is getting to go to SDCC and can hook up a bro with a Zaranna set and Skystriker?

[jcast]

Wait...Deprist is in charge of Joe again?

[SIC DETH]

Love all the figures so far. Hasbro is actually starting to listen and look at for the collectors!

[troopsofdoom]

The Blueshirt and Viper look different enough that I want one. The Crimson HISS Driver looks interesting. And I hate the admit it but Renegades Duke looks good. I was hoping for an updated Zarana, something a little less 80s. Can't wait for the Black Dragon "Osprey", it looks great.

[Reverend Blood]

i'm kinda disappointed that the Renegades figures have a very clearly "animated" look to them, even though hasbro said that they wouldn't.

But I'm glad to see that the IGs have the same look and feel of the Wave 4 Destro, it's a nice tie-in. Kinda wish they'd made nullifiers if they were going that route, but i'll take anything destro.

[tycondrius23]

I love them all. I know folks are gona biatch about the whole re-paint this and repaint that, but TBH if Hasbro didn't reuse parts and repaints out fav joe characters woulda been a long dead franchise !! I reconised that CC torso the one with the cape its a re-paint of the un-released Jungle CC top. I wonder if they used the ROC torso underneath like that jungle CC

[seyms]

A couple of these look pretty cool, but way too many arah throwbacks in there.

[HK-47]

Man, between GI Joe and Star Wars, Hasbro is going to make me go broke with all this new stuff; they are really appealing to collectors and their sculpting is getting better and better.

That Storm Shadow is awsome and the Cobra Ospray is really cool. Also, that Hawk looks more like Mainframe than the General and the new Viper and Cobra Trooper are so much better than the 25th Anniversary versions.

Regards,

[tycondrius23]

hells ya on the SW stuff that Skiff guard guy looks awesome. btw don't forget Thor MU IM and Cap toys from Hasbro !![QUOTE=HK-47]Man, between GI Joe and Star Wars, Hasbro is going to make me go broke with all this new stuff; they are really appealing to collectors and their sculpting is getting better and better.

There is a way to get them from HTS IF they don't sell out... Hopefully they'll produce more than last yr... Zaranna isn't DEFINITE they said on the SDCC.. she COULD get a regular retail release.....They haven't decided yet. The only Skystriker that will be at SDCC from what I read was the Starscream colored one with Cobra Commander... reg Skystriker with Ace supposedly a mass retail item.......

[tycondrius23]

HTS don't ship intl !! the BTRDS so it looks like us European collectors get a kick in the teeth again from Hasbro

Seems they will ship to Canada now.. so yea.. If you know someone state side you could pay for it and ship it to them and get them to ship it to you.

[cyko]

The Joe stuff looks good; at least a lot of it makes sense (not that JvC glider repainted). The F-14 is so out of date that I can't imagine why they'd resurrect it except for the collectors (notice the black tailfins (http://i.toynewsi.com/g/index.php?mode=view&album=2011_Toy_Fair/GI+Joe/&pic=skystrikerjet.jpg&dispsize=600&start=0)). Jungle BAT (http://i.toynewsi.com/g/index.php?mode=view&album=2011_Toy_Fair/GI+Joe/&pic=junglebat.jpg&dispsize=600&start=0) has some nice gear, but the heavy Iron Grenadier (http://i.toynewsi.com/g/index.php?mode=view&album=2011_Toy_Fair/GI+Joe/&pic=irongrenadier.jpg&dispsize=600&start=0) looks great (for you new-day enthusiasts). There's something about the Steel Brigade (http://i.toynewsi.com/g/index.php?mode=view&album=2011_Toy_Fair/GI+Joe/&pic=steelbrigadeFRONT.jpg&dispsize=800&start=20) trooper I really don't like, but I'm not sure what (at least no baby blue sleeves). The Viper (http://i.toynewsi.com/g/index.php?mode=view&album=2011_Toy_Fair/GI+Joe/&pic=cobraviperFRONT.jpg&dispsize=600&start=0) and blueshirts seem like gambles (army builder peg warmers? Nah.). But the Black Dragon helicopter (http://i.toynewsi.com/g/index.php?mode=view&album=2011_Toy_Fair/GI+Joe/&pic=cobraosprey.jpg&dispsize=600&start=0) (or should I say neo-FANG 2?) doesn't impress me nearly as much as the Owl from the mysterious SK Omega line.

I rent a PO Box in Miami from a courier company, so whe I buy it gets shipped to that address and the company brings it to my country. The downside is that we now have to pay taxes for all Internet purchases. But, it is worth it because we almost never see all these toys here, specially GI Joe.

I say that too cool stuff tho the Cap with the black suit looks a lil like Nice guy eddie from resovoir dogs in a cap suit this one http://i.marvelousnews.com/g/generated/2011_Toy_Fair/Marvel/Captain%20America/3.75%20Action%20Figures/US%20Agent__scaled_800.jpg

If they are basing this on the Devil's Due crossover, shouldn't Starscream be a Night Raven?

[neapolitan joe]

Amazing! [size=7]yyyyyyyyyyyyooooooooooooooooooooooooooooojjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjooooooooooooooooooooooeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!![/size]

[Tracker]

my goodness a new sky-striker i thought that would never happen and there so many good figure coming i just don't know if I'll ever be rich because Hasbro will be getting a lot of my cash

a much have on my list are the cobra trooper and the vipers

[sithviper]

Wow. Never thought they would do a Sci-Fi figure
The new Stalker and Storm Shadow look awesome :D

[silentdusty]

This is gonna hurt, so many army builders, a few figs that don't impress me, ie. the Jungle BATs, I actually like the Steel Brigade troopers. There'll be a couple of Skystrikers and Black Dragons added to my collection depending on the price point. The Renegade figs don't look nearly as animated as I thought, I think I may have to get the Renegades CC, and pass on the POC one.

[ToneGunsRevisited]

I would like to look more of the osprey.

[GoCards]

I like the looks of the army builder figures a lot. I think the Rock Viper would make a pretty decent jungle trooper if you took away the web gear.

[roguetiger]

[QUOTE=sithviper]If they are basing this on the Devil's Due crossover, shouldn't Starscream be a Night Raven?[/QUOTE]

I don't think they are basing it off any crossover except in their minds to make more money. I really don't like the look of Starscream as a Skystriker. But yes he was a Night Raven and the rest of the air guys were Rattlers.

[Cobra Freak]

I am getting a few skystrykers for sure! and meh with transformers never liked them and never will besides beast wars :)

skystiker $30 msrp
black dragon $20 msrp

[Crimson Pilot]

Well I think it is a good opportunity the continue my 25th collection but the vehicles I am undecided still.

[neapolitan joe]

The Skystriker is a great idea!
The molds of the Skistriker are back from India (I knew that Funskool lost them)? :confused:
YO JOE AGAIN!

Actually, they are saying that it's a new mold, one that can pass safety standards.

Also might want to check out KingofPain's review over on Terrordrome http://www.theterrordrome.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=243 He got to ask some questions to the Hasbro GI Joe guys..... and yea the o-ringers aren't going to want to read it......[QUOTE=KingofPain]Q: A Lot of Joe fans think Hasbro doesn't listen to its fans. For example, Star Wars character selection is obviously collector driven, with obscure characters and Expanded Universe characters that kids wouldn't identify, but collectors do... But G.I.Joe doesn't. What do have to say about that statement? A: As you can see with the Upcoming Renegades line and 30th anniversary line, we DO listen to fans. we are constantly reading the boards and looking at what fans want. Renegades is in a more realistic and consistent Joe style rather than an animated style, because the FANS asked for it. Several characters that are being made (skystriker, Zarana, croc Master, Sci-FI) are characters and vehicles that we read on the boards that fans asked for.. that being said, We ARE a business, and some characters and vehicles and even lines (continuation of the 25th line, O ring) is just not feasible from a business standpoint for us to make[/QUOTE]

[Reverend Blood]

I didn't know anyone was asking for a newer, yellower, croc master repaint.... but if i find that guy he's gonna meet the pimp hand.

[QUOTE=Reverend Blood]I didn't know anyone was asking for a newer, yellower, croc master repaint.... but if i find that guy he's gonna meet the pimp hand.[/QUOTE]

I must confess, it was I who asked for the Croc Master repaint, specifically in that colour.

Watch out for that pimp hand then :eek:
