Just a friendly reminder that this Saturday is “Free Comic Book Day” at comic stores across the nation, and IDW is offering a combination Transformers Animated/G.I. Joe book to celebrate the event. It will include an 11-page story from Transformers Animated, and will also contain TWO different G.I. Joe stories. From the sounds of it, one is written by Chuck Dixon and the other by Larry Hama.
Click here for all the juicy details, but more importantly, swing by your local comic shop this Saturday and scoop one up. Can’t beat the price!

Jeff Bohn continues to dig up some good stuff on DeviantArt.com…no Resolute stuff this time, but former artist for G.I. Joe: America’s Elite Mike Bear apparently also did some work on package art for Hasbro, too. Known as bear65 on Deviant Art, he’s posted some package art and other things to his page. Some of the highlights are shown below.

The following announcement comes from Hasbro:

So, everyone, get your thinking caps on! This is a perfect time to send on those burning questions straight to the source. I know I’ll be working to come up with something…

The always dependable Black Sheep Toy Store has posted a handful of auctions for upcoming product, and very cool product at that. The links are below…I haven’t posted a gallery, because the images are all ones we’ve seen before, but the auction links are below:
Man…these are some awesome looking figures. I know there’s been a lot of movie bashing going around, but every one of those above toys really kicks ass, in my opinion. I’m still trying to figure out how I’m going to get my hands on a half dozen of those 3-piece suit Destro figures. I could find lots of uses for that one.
Thanks to HissCommander of The Terror Drome for the intel.
