Last year (it seems so long ago) a member of The Terror Dromes editorial staff got a chance to catch up with Henry Gilroy at the San Diego ComicCon. Well, it just turns out that Mr. Gilroy is one of the lead writers of G.I. Joe: Renegades, and he was kind enough to offer himself up to answer questions.
The Terror Drome was equally kind and gave me a chance to put my own .02 in, and below is the outcome of this interview. You will see questions that were posed by members of the Terror Drome forums as well as my own questions near the end of the interview.
It’s a pretty long, detailed, and wide-ranging conversation about G.I. Joe: Renegades! Check it out after the jump, and a humongous thanks to the great guys at The Terror Drome for letting me be included in this great opportunity. (more…)
Well, it’s another depressing “Renegades-less” Friday, but all is not lost! Even though there’s no new episode on tonight, we do get a promo for next week, entitled “Busted”. Duke is in prison and the other Joes try to rescue him while he tries to take down the Warden.
Check out the embedded video below.
Given all the Easter Eggs we’ve seen so far, will Mutt make an appearance? Law and Order? Guess we’ll find out next Friday.
Well, it would certainly appear so, according to Ragi Foesmasher of HissTank.com.
Previews typically lists figures set for release a little ways in advance, and they report the following:
“For over twenty-five years, the G.I. Joe has been defending America and the cause of freedom from the evils of Cobra! Characters like Blowtorch, General Hawk, Steel Brigade Trooper, Cobra Trooper, Cobra Commander and the Jungle B.A.T. enter the fight for the fate of the world as these collectible 3.75″ figures! Blister card packaging.”
Uhhh… wha–?
It’s pretty unusual for Hasbro to be able to keep assortments like this under wraps right up until release, but kudos to them for doing it, if that’s what this is. What sort of format these figures will come in raises some questions as well…obviously they’ve all been released as Anniversary figures already (except for the Steel Brigade Trooper), so are these some sort of Pursuit of Cobra upgrade figures? Curious…
According to the poster, this edition of Previews will hit comic shops in two weeks. It appears “on Page 360 will be a listing for item code FEB111522. With a title of GI JOE AF ASST 201103. The picture is of Wave 4 and the shipping date is 4/27/2011.”
Guess we know what to look for at Toy Fair!
Continuing their trend of posting the latest episodes online, The Hub has now uploaded the ninth episode of G.I. Joe: Renegades. Introducing fan favorites Zartan and the Dreadnoks, Episode 9 has the Renegade soldiers helping out a small Kansas town when the Dreadnoks take it over for their own nefarious purposes.
Check out the latest Renegades episode is nice high definition right here.
