Huge thanks to the MSGulfCoast GIJoe Collectors Club for snagging a nice copy of a recent G.I. Joe: Renegades promo that aired on a recent episode of Hubworld. A lot of new footage is sprinkled throughout, with a heaping helping of cool music and action.
The roller coaster ride continues full steam ahead and Renegades finally arrives November 26th at 5:00pm! Are you ready?
Check out the embedded video below!
With Wave 3 on the horizon, images are starting to leak out for the upcoming fourth wave of G.I. Joe: The Pursuit of Cobra. Featuring Lowlight, Destro, Shadow Tracker, and Skydive (and notoriously devoid of Dukes, Snake Eyes, or Storm Shadows) this wave looks fantastic. Granted, many folks already got their hands on the Skydive figure through backdoor means as Desert Battle Ripcord, but for those who haven’t, he is one of the best figures in the Pursuit of Cobra line. Add to that this awesome Destro, the absolutely amazing Lowlight, and of course Shadow Tracker, and you have a wave that pretty much hits a home run with every single figure.
Great stuff. Thanks to Corey Stinson of SmallJoes.com for the info!
So, anyone who has been hitting this site knows by now that G.I. Joe: Renegades is hitting The Hub on November 26th. Well, anyone who is a fan of action animation has a lot more to look forward to than just that.

Wow there is some great animated series on the air right now. It’s almost like the comic book-heavy 90’s again!

G.I. Joe: Renegades
A short while ago, it was revealed that Major Bludd was likely to be a part of the third episode of G.I. Joe: Renegades, with the episode entitled “The Package”. Now we know who sends him after his target! TVGuide.com has updated their line up for Friday, December 3rd, and included the following description:
“The Joes stop the Baroness’ mercenary from completing his planned assassination.”
Uh, spoiler warning next time? From the looks of the listings on TV Guide, it would appear that the new episode of G.I. Joe: Renegades airs at 5:30pm, following a repeat of Episode Two. Also on TVGuide.com, there is a slightly more detailed episode breakdown, also featuring some information on Episode Four, Return of the Arashikage, Part 1. The following description is listed for that episode:
“The Joes train with Snake Eyes at his dojo and learn about his connection to Storm Shadow and their shady shared past.”
By the sounds of this, we should see Storm Shadow early on in the series, and start learning about his connection to Snake Eyes pretty quickly. Looking forward to checking these out!
With the release of their latest newsletter, Sideshow Collectibles has posted a neat preview of their upcoming Cobra Commander Polystone Diorama! Featuring the illustrious Commander himself, plus his familiar throne, this looks like a very impressive piece as we’ve come to expect.
Promising a full product reveal in the Production blog launched on November 22nd, Sideshow has provided some awesome wallpapers for your computer desktop with the preview image. Check it all out right here!
