Even as my heart fell in love and my wallet screamed out in agony with the news of the Hot Toys G.I. Joe: Retaliation Snake Eyes reveal, Jay over at Entertainment News International was reaching out to Hot Toys to get more information, and he got it!
Word from Hot Toys to ENewsI is that there are three other Hot Toys releases planned for 2013, to include Joe Colton, Roadblock, and Storm Shadow! My first reaction is BOOOO no Cobra Commander, but my second reaction is YAY 12″ Bruce Willis! If these are popular, I’d expect more to follow, and hopefully those more include folks like Cobra Commander, Lady Jaye, Flint, and Firefly at the least.
I’m very interested to see how these end up… will Joe Colton be in combat togs, or in his fancy Secret Service suit? I imagine Storm Shadow will come with an unmasked and a masked head, will he come with his awesome white leather trench? So many questions…can’t wait to find out the answers. Check out Entertainment News International for the info.

No CC makes sense – there just doesn’t seem to be a lot for Hot Toys to do to put their own stamp on the design. Roadblock was always a given with the crazy vest, SS makes sense given all of his outfits and weapons, and Colton is probably being put out there because I don’t think Hot Toys (or anyone) has had much luck with a Die Hard line so this’ll sell to customizers as well as fans.
A bit surprised there hasn’t been an announcement of Firefly, to be honest. That outfit seems like a natural for Hot Toys.
I’m curious to see how they approach Roadblock. With Dwayne Johnson’s large physique, I wonder if they’ll develop a new muscle body for him. Look forward to getting a look at this figure.
