Rumors swirl about that the G.I. Joe Mighty Muggs (and Mighty Muggs in general) may be going the way of the Do Do, but mightymuggsforum.com denies those rumors, and in fact, has posted images of some potential upcoming G.I. Joe Mighty Muggs.  Among these items is Zartan, Shipwreck (w/ Polly), Serpentor and a COBRA Trooper.  Info can be seen at their forums here, and the images are mirrored below.

New G.I. Joe-related television program hinted at as Hasbro and Discovery form kid’s network

by | Apr 30, 2009 | Comics and Cartoons, G.I. Joe, Sunbow

Reuters is reporting that the Discovery Channel and Hasbro have formed a joint venture to create a new Children’s TV Network and website that will specialize in children’s programming showcasing many of Hasbro’s brands including G.I. Joe.  This specific quote gives a good outline of what to expect:

“Hasbro Inc (HAS.N) and Discovery Communications (DISCA.O) announced a joint venture that includes a television network and website that will carry children’s and family entertainment featuring Hasbro brands like G.I. Joe, My Little Pony and Trivial Pursuit.”

You can also see the full press release here.  A very interesting quote contained within this press release is as follows:

“Both the network and the venture’s online component will feature content from Hasbro’s rich portfolio of entertainment and educational properties built over the past 90 years, including original programming for animation, game shows, and live-action series and specials. New programming will be based on brands such as ROMPER ROOM, TRIVIAL PURSUIT, SCRABBLE, CRANIUM, MY LITTLE PONY, G.I. JOE, GAME OF LIFE, TONKA and TRANSFORMERS, among many others. The TV network and online presence also will include content from Discovery’s extensive library of award-winning children’s educational programming, such as BINDI THE JUNGLE GIRL, ENDURANCE, TUTENSTEIN, HI-5, FLIGHT 29 DOWN and PEEP AND THE BIG WIDE WORLD, as well as programming from third-party producers.”

Hmmm… “New programming”?  Sounds like a new G.I. Joe animated series may be on the horizon.  I wouldn’t necessarily expect Resolute (especially on a kid’s channel) but it’ll be very cool to see what transpires.
