Paramount has posted the G.I. Joe: Retaliation trailer on their YouTube page, with links to the Amazon.com pre-orders for the upcoming releases.  There is, as of yet, no indication of a “Directors Cut” but I think we’re all crossing our fingers on that point.

Check out the trailer again, and relive the glory of G.I. Joe: Retaliation, then hit up the Amazon links below to pre-order!

G.I. JOE: Retaliation Official Trailer

Coming Soon to Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D, DVD and Digital. Pre-Order Now!

“The greatest American Heroes are back”* and they’ve been set up to take the fall for a terrible crime they didn’t commit. Now, the G.I. Joes must once again face their mortal enemy, Cobra, as well as dangerous new threats operating within the government. When all else fails, one option remains: Retaliation. Roadblock (Dwayne Johnson) leads a new team (including Channing Tatum and Bruce Willis) on this explosive adventure that critics are calling “unlike any action movie you’ve ever seen. A thrilling ride that leaves you wanting more!”† *Julian Roman, MOVIEWEB.COM †Raquel Baldwin, Talking Pictures (ABC/CW)

It’s a two-for-one week from IDW Publishing as we get treated to two new issues on one “new comic” day!  The latest installment in Larry Hama’s excellent Real American Hero continuation hits today as does the third issue of the new Dixon/Gulacy Special Missions title.  Two totally different G.I. Joe universes.  Enjoy them both, and check out the preview pages below.

IDW Limited has come out of the gates screaming with G.I. Joe content over the past month or so, already releasing the Marvel Complete Collection (volume 1) and the Danger Girl and G.I. Joe collection as well.  Soon to come is the IDW collection itself, and  Robert Atkins is doing some great signature plate work for the project!

Over on the Robert Atkins Art blog, he’s been detailing the work and previewing some of the Snake Eyes art he is providing for the project, and you should definitely keep tabs over there.  Some really gorgeous original stuff slated to come with the IDW Limited volumes, and Robert is far from done.

He mentioned on a recent Twitter post that he was moving onto Destro next.  Can’t wait to see more!  Keep on hitting up Robert Atkins blog for further details and keep watching IDW Limited for those pre-orders.

Over on Comic Book Movie nailbiter111 has been digging up some great concept art, and this latest round from G.I. Joe: Retaliation is no exception.  We’ve got everything from some alternate uniforms to an amazingly bad ass looking amphibious motorcycle.

A lot of the stuff here is just a little bit too science-fiction for the more “real world” vibe that Retaliation was trying to accomplish, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t largely bad ass.  Some really cool looking stuff here.  I’ve mirrored some of the art below, but hit up ComicBookMovie.com to see the rest.  I gotta admit, I get a little swoony when I see those darker blue Cobra uniforms.  That would have been pretty awesome. The art is from various sources, including Josh Nizzi, Anthony Francisco, Keith Christensen, Cenay Oekmen, and Patrick Faulwetter.  Thanks to nailbiter111 for uncovering this stuff.

Real life got in the way tonight, so I couldn’t be right on top of this reveal unfortunately, but nevertheless, the G.I. Joe Collectors Club waits for no man, and the reveals for the Oktober Guard Missile specialist Big Bear and USS Flagg Commander Admiral Keel Haul.

Big Bear looks to be a repainted canceled Pursuit of Cobra Arctic Duke, including the great jacket that has never been released to date.  He’s also got a great looking new head sculpt.  Speaking of new head sculpts, Keel Haul sports a great Admiral hat, and many parts shared from the Rise of Cobra General Hawk (who came with The Pit).

Check out the full blown gallery of FSS 2.0 greatness at GIJoeClub.com or the mirrored gallery below.

Along with the figure reveals, the Collectors Club also released their first “Did you know” segment with Night Force Falcon.  This gives a brief run down of the character’s significance, and also shows the first look at the card art! Check that out right here.

Hot on the heels of other online stores, Entertainment Earth has posted their own pre-order for the upcoming G.I. Joe Eaglehawk Assault Copter!  Along with that pre-order, EE has also posted some recently released G.I. Joe product.  Check out the links below.

• Order G.I. Joe Eaglehawk Helicopter (Tomahawk) Vehicle from Entertainment Earth!
• Order G.I. Joe Micro Force Blind Bags Series 1 Revision 1 Case from Entertainment Earth!
• Order G.I. Joe Retaliation 12-Inch Action Figures Wave 1 from Entertainment Earth!

• Order G.I. Joe 3-Inch Random Figure Series 1 Mini-Figure Case from Entertainment Earth!

Included in those links above are the awesome new mini figures from The Loyal Subjects as well.   Hit it up!

I think it’s safe to say that G.I. Joe fans everywhere have been waiting for this moment! After what seems like forever, pre-orders for the upcoming G.I. Joe Eaglehawk Assault Helicopter have appeared online, and first up to the gate is Big Bad Toy Store.

The price is currently listed at $44.99, though BBTS states that this price is subject to change. Release date estimate is July, 2013. Go get ‘em, Joe fans!

The Collectors Club always finds a way to brighten a dreary afternoon!

I was pretty certain the Club would leave Cesspool for last, but they shocked the G.I. Joe world today by launching Cesspool’s highly sought after reveal today!  With a spectacularly nasty looking new head sculpt, and a great mixture of mostly 30th Anniversary parts, this is a terrific update to the old school Eco Warriors CEO.

Along with Cesspool we also get our first good look at Bombardier, the really nice looking UK repaint of Flash uncovered by Ron Connor and Dave Tree.  Check out both of these reveals at GIJoeClub.com and also mirrored below.  Stay tuned tomorrow to see Big Bear and Keel Haul!

I’ll be honest, I read this story pretty early this morning, but just kind of discarded it, as it seemed a bit heavy-handed and not as serious as it was being made out to be, but I’ve seen a lot of folks talking about it, and I’ve been approached by a number of people, so I figure I should probably talk about it a bit.

News has hit today that screen writers David Elliot and Paul Lovett are suing Paramount over elements of their story being “stolen” and utilized in the sequel film G.I. Joe: Retaliation.  They had a hand in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, and laid claim that a treatment they wrote for the sequel had pieces taken from it for G.I. Joe: Retaliation without credit or money given for their services.

First word from this that I saw was from Deadline.com early this morning, and I still think the whole thing is a little ridiculous.  Reading the entire complaint, these guys are claiming that their ideas for Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow being told that Zartan killed the Hard Master was stolen for the G.I. Joe sequel (perhaps they can re-route some of their $23 million dollar claim towards Larry Hama for creating that story nearly 30 years ago…).  It’s somewhat of a touchy subject and in our legal society today, practically anyone can launch a lawsuit at anyone else, so there has to be some scrutiny.  In my mind, this one doesn’t pass the smell test, and I don’t anticipate it will amount to much.

Check out Deadline for the full story and you can read the full complaint right here.
