Info on the G.I. Joe: Resolute 7-Packs Coming in Fall 2010

[WildWeasel]

GeneralsJoes is reporting that we can expect 2 online exclusive 7-packs very similar to the "Attack on" & "Defense of" Cobra Island ones we got this year. This information comes from a GeneralsJoes reader talking to a Hasbro rep at a special event for the DVD release of The Rise of Cobra DVD (along with Transformers 2 and Star Trek). Since we've only seen a few figures from both G.I. Joe and Cobra (Storm Shadow, Baroness, Destro, Snake Eyes (which we are getting with City Strike SE) & Roadblock), speculation will have to do for "filling in the blanks" on the remainder figures for now.

With the upcoming release of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, various events are going on in Hollywood to celebrate the release of not only Rise of Cobra, but also Transformers 2 and Star Trek on DVD and Blu-Ray. GeneralsJoes contributor Mysterious Stranger was fortunate to catch up with some Hasbro representatives and has brought us some great intel on the upcoming Resolute items, due to be released in Fall, 2010! These sets are still very early in the production phase, so all details are subject to change, but this is what we now know:

• Expect 2 7-Packs, similar to the COBRA Island releases earlier this year, one G.I. Joe and one COBRA.
• Online Exclusives
• Every figure we’ve seen to date in pre-production form will be featured
• Because we haven’t seen enough figures to round off two 7-packs, we can fully expect a larger cast of characters utilizing existing tooling in Resolute decos as well as repaints or reissues of previously released Resolute figures.

Of course, time will tell how this actually ends up, but from the early sounds of it, we’ve got some great Resolute stuff to look forward to next year! I can’t wait to hear more. Big thanks to Mysterious Stranger for the intel.

I too am excited for this news! Ive only collected Arashikage up to this point, but if these 7 packs come out as good as all us fans are hoping they do, I may have to upgrade my collection to Arashikage AND Resolute. Still dont think they'll be as good as a few of the customs Ive seen, but my fingers are crossed.

Anyone know what online retailers will have these?

Anyone know what online retailers will have these?

Most likely all of them. This will probably be a shared exclusive like the Extreme Conditions and Attack on/Defense of Cobra Island 7-packs.
