Now that we have official confirmation of the G.I. Joe: Renegades debut date, IGN.com has also posted the first official footage of the series premier! Featuring Duke, Tunnel Rat, Roadblock, and Scarlett as they narrowly escape from the US Government. While a little low on action, it’s a great first look at Renegades, and a look at what we can expect for animation and final art style.
Check it out at IGN.com or embedded below.
A short while ago, HissTank member and fellow Renegades enthusiast kennywr22 reported on a TV listing from MSN.com that seemed to verify that Renegades was airing on November 26th. Well, considering that information was officially confirmed today via Hub press release, I decided to hit up MSN again and see if they had any updated intel.
Turns out, they do! We now have episode listings (with titles) going all the way through December 24th!
From the looks of it, there are a lot of 2-parters…and one of them looks to be a 2-part special broadcast on Christmas Eve. Check out the screencapped schedule image below!

The Sideshow Collectibles 12″ Beachhead has been shipping and has reached collector hands already, and over on HissTank.com Whitehawk has posted a few pictures (with a full review on his website, The Impulse Nerd).
Granted, Sideshow’s gallery was pretty slick looking already, but these images have appealed to me all the more. Maybe it’s because I’ve recently gotten Duke in hand (review is coming, I promise) but this Beachhead is just impressive. Really impressive. Removable crossbow, awesome backpack, great commando sweater. Holy crap, this looks great.
