One thing that has definitely been consist in the time that G.I. Joe Retaliation was filming, and now in post production is Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. The man is a promotional machine. Tweeting left and right, and sharing lots of great images over the last 9 months. Johnson plays the role of Roadblock and in this latest image he has shared with fans on Twitter — it shows him kneeling on a boat next to a familiar site for Roadblock — a .50 caliber machine gun. You can check out the image below. (Thanks to MyNameIsZartan on Twitter for the heads up!)
Time for another update to the G.I. Joe: Special Ops social game coming next month to Facebook and SyFy Games. This latest addition features one of the most iconic characters in the G.I. Joe mythos, the Cobra Viper! Looking like the classic version, with a slight modern feel to it. Also added to the roster for the Joe Team is none other than, Lady Jaye! I have to say, Special Ops is definitely feeling like a great G.I. Joe game with elements of both classic ARAH and new (such as the renditions of the IDW Cobra Commander and Serpentor). Really looking forward to seeing some game play soon. In the meantime, check out the artwork below, and visit the G.I. Joe: Special Ops site for much more!
Channeling a little Mr. Jackson there for the latest G.I. Joe Retaliation image posted for the viral campaign, Cobra Special Forces. The image features a squad of Cobra Troopers doing it Navy SEALs style on the water ready to attack! Really liking this sudo recruiting campaign they are doing for this movie. Definitely a lot of fun, and we get to check out all these cool behind-the-scenes images featuring everyone’s favorite evil organization, Cobra! You can check out the image below, or visit the Cobra Special Forces Facebook page. (Thanks to toycollector962 on Twitter for the heads up!)
Over at ComicBookMovie.com they have posted another video interview from Cinemacon. This time around they are sitting down with G.I. Joe Retaliation director, Jon M. Chu. If you haven’t read an interview, or watched an interview with Chu yet, then you may not realize he is one truly passionate and enthusiastic guy when it comes to his work, especially on G.I. Joe. He is just as excited for this movie to come out, as most of us fans are. In this interview, Jon Chu discusses, why everyone should go see G.I. Joe Retaliation, how he got Bruce Willis to play the role of Joe Colton, the killing off a major character, why G.I. Joe: Retaliation is more “hardcore” than The Rise of Cobra, how Adrianne Palicki ended up taking a punch and the hijinks that took place on the set while filming. So check out the video below.

Here is a new G.I. Joe Retaliation Russian movie poster. Nothing too special or mind-blowing here. Actually kind of boring compared to most of the posters we have seen thus far. The poster features Adrianne Palicki (Lady Jaye), Bruce Willis (Joe Colton) and Dwayne Johnson (Roadblock). Maybe it needed some Oktober Guard?
Also below, are two images that were used in two of the Korean movie posters. So for those that don’t like all that text getting in their way, here you go, two mostly raw, hi-res images from G.I. Joe Retaliation to enjoy. (Source: Kinopoisk via Stark Industries)
The last JoeCon 2012 Exclusive Figure reveal is finally up, it is the last of the Oktober Guard to be unveiled from the box set, Horror Show! And it looks freaking awesome! I’m really like this figure, especially after yesterday’s reveal of Oktober Guard General Iron Bear (which I don’t think is a bad figure, just not what I picture for a Russian General). As it would have been nice to have a removal helmet, I’m not going to think anything less of the figure. I don’t know if I could really ask for anything more. He’s big, bulky and badass looking. Job well done GIJCC, well done. A great and final addition to the Oktober Guard for the box set. Now let’s hope we are still getting Dragonsky as one of the Attendee Exclusives. You can check it out the preview image below or head on over to the JoeCon website here →

Whoa. This is like watching my childhood come alive. The latest G.I. Joe Retaliation image posted over that the Facebook viral campaign page for Cobra Special Forces — features one of the most iconic Joe/Cobra vehicles, the Cobra H.I.S.S. Tank! Between this and the new look for Cobra Commander in this movie, I am so pumped to see it, to see how it all comes together. Now I just hope that Retaliation is successful enough for a sequel (or two). So what do you guys and gals think? (Thanks to FireChief420 for the intel!)
The latest JoeCon 2012 Exclusive Figure reveal is up, it is one of the remaining few to be unveiled from the box set. And it is pretty underwhelming in my opinion. The Oktober Guard General Iron Bear, is the latest addition, and he looks kind of blah! Not horrible, but not great either. The paint application looks nice, but certainly not what I would expect for a “General Iron Bear” if you ask me. I still think overall this is a great set for this year’s JoeCon. So what do you think? Are you liking this one? Expecting something else? The next figure to be revealed should be Horror Show to round out the exclusive box set. You can check it out below or head on over to the JoeCon website here →

My apologies to the Flag Points crew, I’ve been slacking (been a couple of hectic months), but that doesn’t mean they have. They have posted the latest Flag Points podcast featuring Joe fan and rapper Wordburglar — for what I’m sure will be a very interesting listen for Joe fans. In episode 24, Dave, Don and “Mr Burg” take a trip down memory lane where some crazy memories are shared and Wordburglar gives a review of the 2012 GIJCC Membership Footloose figure. So head on over to their PodBean page, or search in iTunes for “Flag Points” to get the latest episode, or even one of their previous ones too! And be sure to share your comments with the guys doing all of this hard work.
The great Joe fans of the Filipino G.I. Joe Club, Toy Soldier 1:18 (aka TS118), are at it again. This time creating a fantastic mix of military and science fiction, something that G.I. Joe is quite familiar with. Inspired by many things — including the recent fan film, ‘Operation Red Retrieval‘ — the guys of TS118 have combined G.I. Joe with Aliens & Predators to create one amazingly detailed dio display. The story revolves around Cobra meddling with things they shouldn’t be (happens often), and they end up triggering events that lead to their demise and only the Joes can put a stop to it. Or can they? Check out the incredible work these guys have done, by viewing the massive gallery of images. So head on over and check it out!
