Here’s a quick little update to the earlier news post of G. I. Joe: Retaliation And Renegades 4-Packs Ready For Preorder At Amazon.
You can now enjoy the “proper” official images of the 4-Packs by Amazon. Gladly, the Retaliation Bios doesn’t spoil the movie. Sadly, both 4-Packs are now sold out for the moment. Hopefully, a restock will happen soon. Keep your fingers crossed. Hmmm... Still the mystery of Joe Colton and Blind Master remains.... We took the liberty of obtaining the High Definition versions of the images, take a look after the jump. |

AintItCoolNews recently interviewed GI Joe Retaliation director Jon Chu, where he cleared up a frequent subject of debate, "Is Rex Lewis the Cobra Commander in Retaliation?":
I don’t know where all this crazy, speculative stuff came from. We were asked the question, Lorenzo [di Bonaventura, Producer) and I at Toy Fair... ‘Is that the same actor’? I was like... ‘No, its not the same actor’. ‘Is that Joseph Gordon Levitt?’ ‘No, it is not!’ But it is Rex! We are continuing that story, there is no other Cobra Commander. We can put that rumor to rest. I was waiting for this moment to finally clarify, I’m glad you asked that. When asked if Duke dies in the movie, Chu replied: "All I can say is: you should always expect the unexpected in the G.I. Joe. ALWAYS expect the unexpected" Chu also mentioned the Cobra Special Forces, and more, for before the movie and possibly afterwards..... "We are having a lot of fun with Cobra ‘being’ the Joes in this version. As you know, the multi-media aspect of movies now means the story doesn’t begin and end in the movie, it actually can begin way before...online...and can continue afterwards. We have stuff going on that you should be looking out for online such as the ‘Cobra Special Forces’ site, its all part of our goal. We have a lot of little things that I don’t want to spoil, other than to look out for them. Maybe there’s some Cobra cover companies, maybe there are characters that we are setting up here who come back in a different form. Definitely there’s some things in there which may seem like ‘nothing in this movie, but they have a purpose!" |

Slash Film was able to sit down for an interview with Jon Chu; the Director of G. I. Joe: Retaliation. Mr. Chu talked about the introduction of Joe Colton and reinventing Cobra Commander.
Question: I wanted to know, why should people who hated the first film give this sequel a chance? Jon Chu: It’s crazy, because as polarizing as that first movie was, people still went and saw it and people still went and saw it over and over and the DVD sold like crazy, so… Question: And then you made a sequel, so they must have made money. Jon Chu: Exactly. And especially now like hearing the fans say what they want and don’t want and which characters they wish were coming back and which weren’t. I mean it seems like more people like it than people will admit, which is crazy. And we are not trying to compete with that movie, we are trying to make a different movie. To me, the GI JOE product means something very different than the filmmakers of the last movie. To me, GI JOE is this very personal thing. I grew up on GI JOES. I grew up playing GI JOES and so I have a very specific idea and it’s probably really different from people who first knew about GI JOE with the 12 inch action figure, but we really tried to bridge all of those mythologies with everything you know about Joe and put it into one. For instance, Joe Colton, one of the number one questions when I first signed on to the movie everyone would be like “Well who is playing Joe?” I’m like “What are you talking about? There is no “Joe.” Then I remembered Joe Colton and was like “That would be really awesome to give Joe a face and a personality and there’s only one iconic person that could ever play that and that would be Bruce [Willis].” Read the entire interview at Slash Film. Mind you, the associated thread contains SPOILERS. Step carefully. |

According to Soompi, GI Joe Retaliation will have its world premiere in South Korea on June 15th. The cast and crew will be in South Korea for a press conference on June 14th, and the next day there will be a red carpet event for the premiere. Here's more from Soompi:
"The main cast of G.I. Joe: Retaliation and the production team will come to South Korea on June 14. The world premiere of G.I. Joe: Retaliation will be held in South Korea! On June 14, they will hold a press conference with the director and actors. The day afterwards on June 15, the movie will have its premiere and there will also be a red carpet event. It is the first time that a Hollywood film is being premiered in South Korea. This shows how big of a role Lee Byung Hun (Who portrays Storm Shadow) is playing in terms of promotions, and is a testimony to his world star status." |

Director Jon Chu explained to Empire Magazine, the various scenes from the 2nd Theatrical Trailer for G. I. Joe: Retaliation which premiered last 24th of April.
While the article doesn’t reveal much, it does feature teensy bit of spoiler-ish material; which the Spoiler-Sensitive Moviegoer should avoid. “I don’t want to give too much away about our homage [to the ‘Silent Issue’], or what Storm Shadow and Snake-Eyes are going up against or what’s going on in the scene. It’s not an entirely silent interlude but we decided to have an 11 minute fight scene with no dialogue. Did I think it would work? I don’t know, but we wanted to try it. It was one of our longest sequences to shoot - it spanned weeks. It was a very complex scene, but it was worth it because this is something that no-one’s seen before. We wanted to have at least one thing that no-one’s seen before, with a character that no-one would expect to see, in every action piece in the movie.” You can go through Jon Chu’s Trailer Breakdown by visiting Empire. |

Based on the G. I. Joe: Retaliation Theatrical Trailer #2, a new TV Spot has been revealed to Japan for G. I. Joe: Back 2 Revenge. It features a bit more Storm Shadow action and Cobra Commander (accompanied by Firefly and President Zartan).
The spot is introduced by Lee Byung-Hun with closing comments from Bruce Willis. We will post a better quality version as soon as we have it in our hands. |

Because of Dwayne Johnson, Bruce Willis and Lee Byung-hun, G. I. Joe: Retaliation is getting a strong international recognition since all three movie stars are recognizable celebrities around the world, more than the cast of Rise of Cobra. The Rock was having fun on the set maintaining a close friendship with G. I. Joe fans around the world with his unofficial movie set updates. Fans are yet to see G. I. Joe: Retaliation, but the journalists who had seen various snippets express positive reaction to the upcoming movie by Jon Chu. |

Kokomo Toys is getting ready for the Summer and we are excited as can be for Joe Con. In celebration of this we are going all out. You got to try to make it to Kokomo Toys this weekend! We are going to be blowing stuff out the door! CHEAP!
This weekend only, starting May 10th through May 12th we are planning to blow out all the vintage vehicle shells from storage for only $1 each. This is a customizers paradise. It don't matter what vehicle or what condition, it's all just a $1 each. From big stuff like Terror Drome shells all the way down to small vehicles like Ferrets. It has to go! So come on over to Kokomo! Make the road trip journey and bring your friends. We will have everything under a tent outside the front of the shop and you can take your time looking at everything, drag it out and spread it across to get whatever you need.

Recently, loose samples of the canceled Pursuit Of Cobra Alpine turned up for auction, and now, the vehicle he was supposed to come with has turned up as well. Thanks to Ebay seller viperskingdom we now have a few new images of the canceled GI Joe Mountain Wolf Mech. This mech used a repainted body from the canceled Sigma 6 Shadow Hammer Mech and one of the arms it was supposed to come with(in addition to an arm that came with the Cobra Deviant).
Whether you wanted this Mech, Alpine, or both, check out more images of the Mech that could've been after the jump! |

On Saturday, Steven Tyler; lead singer of Aerosmith participated in the finale of the latest Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp installment. Tyler revealed some details about the new Aerosmith video [Legendary Child], which the group spent 12 hours shooting on Friday. He had this to say about their upcoming song featuring on G. I. Joe: Retaliation.
Tyler says he felt it was a good song to contribute to G.I. Joe because its theme of the band struggling to overcome adversity in the music industry mirrored the battle the movie’s heroes had against their own nemesis. "G.I. Joe [is] about about deep space and 'let’s go fight the foe'," he points out. "And then I thought about where the band came from, and going [into] the music business. If there ever…was a foe, the music business was. So to be successful you had to learn how to climb ladders, jump through hoops and live through burning houses." Legendary Child is to debut later this month. |

Finally, a G. I. Joe: Retaliation poster worthy of the title “a Movie Poster”, as opposed to the badly photoshopped G. I. Joe: Retaliation Final Posters we saw few days ago.
This one is from Mexico and a great addition for those who wanted to add collectibles from the upcoming movie. Take a look at the bigger version, after the jump. Courtesy of Imp Awards. |

Soompi has posted an article pertaining to how Storm Shadow survived the end of Rise Of Cobra and how he was resurrected for GI Joe Retaliation. Apparently Storm Shadow actor Lee Byung Hun was asked how his character was resurrected, to which he replied:
"Lee Byung Hun stated, “In the film there is no separate explanation. However, there is a hint as to how ‘Storm Shadow’ resurrects.” The star added, “I really like the role of Storm Shadow. In order to act him out, I studied his character history and he was the most charming character of G.I. Joe. In the film there is a division between the Cobra army and Joes, however Storm Shadow does not really belong to either group. I liked the fact that the character was a lonely fighter." Perhaps Lee did not want to spoil the plot. How do you think Storm Shadow survived in freezing waters? Could it be by use of the "Sleeping Phoenix"? |

Your fellow HISS tanker Stronox made this custom Cobra Shadow Tracker.
"My second version of this character, this time my focus was really on having his head be able to have full range of motion at all times. To achieve this, I used a torso from renegades Duke, I added a matching knife, gave him an old slayer machete, and utilized the bow and arrow set from the MU Taskmaster. His tunic/belt is from a SW Quinlan Vos, neck wrap from a SS, and feet from a Serpentor. Lastly I sculpted over the hole in his left leg to match, trimmed his legs so that he could actually stand up straight (I hate it when figures can't straighten their legs) added a bow string with fishing line, modded the quiver to attach on the back of the belt, and added a clip for the machete."
