Despite the recent GI Joe: Retaliation news, I was shocked to find the toys at a local Target...

Wave 1 was released to retail but that's it. Everything else is being held back until 2013

Huh. I knew that Adrianne Palicki was Wonder Woman in that TV pilot but didn't realize D.J. Cotrona was Superman from the unproduced Justice League movie.

Didn't know that either

Man. I just heard about these Dollar General exclusive GI Joe figures. I must have those Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow figures because those were the figures I had as a kid!

Probably the biggest reveal being a new Micro Force line of minifigures. Series 1 of these is going to feature 80 with about half of those shown so far. I'm hoping to see a LOT more Cobra troop builders among the remaining 30odd figs as a couple of Troopers and a Viper don't really cut it in what's likely to be a blind or part blind line. Lets see some BATs, EELs, Crimson Guard, specialist Vipers and Iron Grenadiers, at least a couple of sculpts of each please Hasbro, make the doubles worthwhile.

I have no idea what they're thinking do a line like that? Who's gonna buy it? Kids? Kids don't even buy the mainline, we know that. I hope to God sales don't affect the other lines.

This is Hasbro we're talking about here. So are those quarter machine rejects what they're releasing until the Retaliation line? I was hoping they'd re-release the 30th anniversary figures that were impossible to find. Which would be just about all of them, but that would be a smart decision.

It was a pleasure to see Larry Hama again at Comic-Con. I miss his spotlight panel but I'm glad he was a special guest of the convention. I already have a ton of stuff signed by Larry so I was content on bringing the current issue of GI Joe: A Real American Hero, the fun Comic-Con issue.





Across the way, I also met Herb Trimpe. Great guy!



I bought a [url="http://epicprops.com/signaturetees.php"]Larry Hama designed shirt from Epic Proportions[/url]. The guys said that if I showed Larry my receipt, he would draw a sketch for free!

I already have a Hama sketch so I asked if he could do a Snake-Eyes sketch for a friend.

I was going to bind my Cobra comics to collect the entire Chuckles saga but it looks like IDW is making a Chuckles hardcover in November!
