Hot Toys G.I. Joe: Retaliation Snake Eyes revealed, much to my wallet’s dismay

Hoooolyy wow.  I think that most of us when the G.I. Joe: Retaliation license was announced for Hot Toys, assumed that we’d be getting some pretty cool, high end 12″ figures, but assumptions are one thing, and seeing it in image form are quite another.  Good gravy.

Over on the official Hot Toys Facebook page, they have officially announced the first G.I. Joe: Retaliation 12″ figure as Snake Eyes and it is about 120 pounds of awesome in a 12″ package.  Check out the mirrored images below, but sit back a little bit, so you don’t get drool on your keyboard.

Now, only one question remains…

HOT TOYS WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME!?!?!?

This figure looks soooooo incredible.  How the hell am I going to validate the $200 cost for this thing in my head over the next few months…  the internal struggle begins!

Hot Toys to get G.I. Joe: Retaliation license for 2013?

Well, color me surprised.  This one certainly came out of left field, but according to the Hot Toys Community Facebook group, Hot Toys has the G.I. Joe: Retaliation license for 2013.  Hot Toys makes premium action figures in the 12″ scale, and I’ve spent quite a bit of time lamenting the fact that I can’t afford the excellent Avengers figures that have been coming out throughout 2012.

I may have to rethink some of my financial priorities going into 2013…these could be some insanely cool toys.  These 12 inch figures typically retail for anywhere from $150 – $200 and have amazing actor likenesses and some incredibly uniform and accessory detail.

Big thanks to Todd from Kokomo Toys for the heads up.  Check out the confirmation for yourself right here.

EDIT – Be aware this is just a Hot Toys fan page, this has not been officially confirmed as of yet.  They seem to have their finger on the pulse of Hot Toys releases, so I think the information is still solid, but don’t take this as official confirmation.

EDIT #2 – The Image on Facebook apparently comes from the “Hot Toys Holiday Book” which is an official publication from Hot Toys, which means this information can be considered official.

Thanks to Jay Cochran on Twitter and EopieHerder on Twitter for educating my Hot Toys deficient mind on the particulars.  I can assure everyone I’ll get much more educated on them in the coming months.  🙂
