Hasbro (G.I.JOEs brand) does not cares about Europe. :confused:

!
 

No. No. No. But the mask of Snake Eyes really talks? Noooooooooooooooooo!
About the drivers, I hope they are still prototypes and not the definitive products.

I'm liking truck definite custom potential there!!

Yes. I dont think they are so stupid as to mess up the articulation on their potential biggest seller all year!

Ninja Truck
 

I agree...that ain't a Ninja Truck to me, that'll be the Stinger MK III after I put some paint apps and stickers on it. :)

I hope...
 

...we can pull off Arashikage stickers!

I was thinking the same thing

I agree with Flatline - the truck looks cool - it reminds me of the SWAT type vehicle I did here http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/sho...hp?i=39012&c=12 except the HASBRO one is more beefed-up :)

I also agree with NJ that the Arashakage stickers should go - like 218 said Ninjas are stealth, plus it's "G.I. Joe Vs. Cobra , not Arashikage Vs. Cobra - especially since in Retaliation's timeline, Storm Shadow (a huge part of that clan) is still a baddie apparently. It's like when marvel started labeling their comics "g.i.joe FEATURING SNAKE EYES" towards the end of the original run.

Don't get me wrong - I love Snake Eyes as much as the next guy, but I worry he may be in dnager of being overexposed and/or making all the other Joes seem unneccesary judging by Hasbro's latest product push. Oh well, I'm sure they know what they're doing :rolleyes:

A place for everything, and everything in it's place....

Eh! Eh! Eh!
 

Elodie yung is so cute.

Does Snake Eyes wear those blue wings when he jumps the shark? ;) The figure packaging will probably say: Snake Eyes: Fonzi-Assault (JK)

Seriously though - great hi-res pics 218!

My comments:

1. I really like Storm Shadow's new "pantaloons" they remind me of how the old ball players use to wear their uniforms like Ty Cobb & Babe Ruth.
2. I like Snake Eye's Uzi & Torso-pouches gear.
3. I like the greenshirts with the helmets on - they look like Rebel Commandos from Return Of The Jedi the way their pant legs have the cargo pockets and go all the way down to their boot heels.
4. That one Red ninja looks like Slice - :cool:
5. Zartan coming with SS & SE heads - interesting....
6. The Rip-Saw, err HISS scout looks alright.
7. That green plane looks pretty sweet, original, and armed to the teeth!
8. That face camo/makeup on Roadblock ain't bad - like something Billy had I think in Predator.

The Greenshirt, Storm Shadow and white Jinx are all winners.

It's Nerf or nuthin'~! :D

They're serious with that spitting cobra staff? :confused:

Oh man! I don't know - maybe I'm just tired now....

That parachute is pretty sweet with the Cobra Trooper though - it looks like he can also use his helmet as a colander in the field to strain his C-pack pasta rations.

Pics are showing up on different web sites of new figs at toy fair. Yellow jynx, blind master, Joe colton, neon bat with star scream hiss. New money bags destro etc.......

YO JOE!
http://gijoeclub.com/toyfair12/toyfair12preview.cfm

Come to Los Angeles, she said...we'll have a good time, she said...well yippeekiyay mother-father!



I guess Wraith is now a Cyber Ninja...



and Lady Jaye is an NYCC exclusive, that sucks...

here's the Blind Master...



looks like yellow Kimi is retail :)



and here's Flint...

we need more ninjas...



another shot of Snake Eyes with his tuning fork backpack...



and an Alley Viper

Dark Ninjas!
 

The Dark Ninjas are Arashikage: they have the dragon of Jinx on the vest and the Arashikahe symbol on the back pack!!!
NINJA BATTLES!

another SDCC exclusive - Shockwave HISS tank with Destro and BAT w/ Energon cubes...







I'm betting you guys don't want to see the Ninja masks, costumes, weapons, blasters and playsets, right?

Why Roadblock has a sword on is hand and the Arashikage symbol tattoed on his arm!?
http://gijoeclub.com/toyfair12/webf...C_9899.JPG.html

it goes back to my theory that whoever does the artwork for this promo is a Mucking Foron!, he thinks the I-ching symbol of the Arashikage is the GI Joe logo. and that everyone in GI Joe is a ninja. that explains why the vehicles have the Arashikage symbol slapped all over them. thankfully, you can choose not to apply the decals when you get them.

I suppose that in the sequel all the few Joes'll become Arashikage (not ninja) memers after Snake Eyes, Jinx and the Blind Master...

We'll see...

Blind Master!
 

I like the Blind Master, but without that kind of umbrella!

2012 battlecry:
 

Yo Arashikage!
From Hisstank by Jinx723:

"Wave 1 was on shelf June. Roadblock, Snake-Eyes, Cobra Commander, Duke, Storm Shadow, Zartan, GIJoe Trooper, Cobra Trooper, Red Ninja
Wave 2 in July with movie accurate sculpts. Battle-Kata Roadblock, Firefly with no mask and scar and Flint with Beret. Firefly actually will have 2 different heads and a sled. Ninja Duel Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow inspired by 1988 Camouflage version. These two will have ankle articulation.
Wave 3 August will have Joe Colton (Bruce Willis) and Lady Jaye. also have Alley Viper, Cobra Ninja and Dragon Ninja.
Wave 4 in September, Kim Arashikage (Jinx in Yellow) and Blind Master. They can't call the figure Jinx.
Wave 5 in October will have Crimson Guard and Night Viper. Crimson Guard will have decals you can use to change rank and affiliation."

WOW! I swear I didn't have ANY knowledge that Hasbro was planning this when I did my version. I know it's Shockwave here and not Megatron - but that's eerie!!!! :eek:



http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/sho...&imageuser=4459

Hasbro's is much cooler with the actual Shockwave gun-barrell mold and the Mini-Soundwave & cassettes are awesome, but that's spooky - they even put the stickers where I did (basically) & went with Destro to man it too. Too bad this is only a SDCC exclusive - probably go for $300 on ebay.

Great Scoop 218!

You work for Hasbro, dont you? :p

Boy, I wish!!!! :D

218's other posts about the other figs
 

Ladies & Gents we have John McClain! Awesom!!!!

I don't like how they gave LJ a pony, but I can just keep using my DVD-pack version :)

The Blind Master looks crazy-awesome!!!! Gotta love that mask!, but I don't know if I'd want to cover up the RZA's face.....;)

I have to have to have to get one of those yellow Jinx - she will look so cool in my die cast Camaro!!!! :)

Thanks so much for posting these great pics TwoOneEight!!!!

Hard Master.
 

Great Hard Master!

80's: you're welcome. got a FB acct yet?

Neapolitan Joe: Check out Flint's right bicep...

Yo Arashikage!
 

Yo Arashikage!
Check out their arms...

Yo-yo...
 

Yo Arashikage!

I'm thinking the Joes start using it as their symbol after they become renegades. If so then I guess the Snake-Eyes Mobile aka AWE Strike with giant Arashikage logo on it won't see so silly. Either that or Hasbro is using it like the "JP" symbol was on everything Jurassic Park.

I like Jinx in yellow!
