Hasbro press images reveal new images and details from Toy Fair 2013

Hasbro’s excellent PR firm has begun sending out the press material, and I’ve uploaded a large amount of it already to the YoJoe Photo events page!  The Press images include Budo without his helmet, Cobra Commander wearing his hood, and all of the Wave 2 Kre-On figures that weren’t in the showroom!

Also see the Arashikage Dojo and Ghoststriker fighter jet.  Check ’em out right here.

Some intel catch up on G.I. Joe: Retaliation wave assortments

When Hasbro revealed the information on “Wave 3” for G.I. Joe: Retaliation, there was quite a bit of confusion from those of us who were G.I. Joe fans in attendance.  I spoke to Derryl DePriest about it, and essentially the way things break down is this:

The current “Wave 3” that we are seeing at retail with Joe Colton, Lady Jaye, Alley-Viper, Dark Ninja, etc…  is considered a “filler” wave.  A Wave 2.5, if you will.  The full blown Wave 3 will be hitting in May and will consist of the following butt-load of figures:

  • Crimson Guard
  • Cobra Combat Ninja
  • “Ultimate” Movie Duke
  • “Ultimate” Movie Firefly
  • “Ultimate” Snake Eyes (Vintage inspired)
  • “Ultimate” Movie Flint
  • “Ultimate” Movie Roadblock
  • Budo
  • Storm Shadow (Sunbow inspired)
  • Cobra Commander (Sunbow inspired)
  • Kwinn
  • Data-Viper

There will also be a Wave 4 featuring Blind Master, Jinx, Night-Viper and I believe the movie accurate Red Ninja, and that will also have some carry-forwards from previous assortments.

More info as it comes, and the official press images should reveal even more.  Check out the images at the YoJoe.com Events page, and coverage brought to you by Kokomo Toys!
