A lot of things happening in 2012 so they are starting earlier to celebrate. 30th for 35th. 30 items celebrating this landmark anniversary, 12" are back as well. Brand New look, it will be tightly focused for collectors. - The 12" figures will be kid targeted and be more military not Joe Vs. Cobra oriented. Hasbro has listened to fans on the 3.75 line-up for this line. - Look for a new look for the line, G.I.Joe, Cobra, Renegades will be in one assortment but the differences in the line will be reflected on the cardbacks. So you will know which ones are Renegades. - Haek, Cobra Trooper looks to be female from the image shown, Steel Brigade, Blowtorch, Jungle BAT and Cobra Commander will be in wave 3 Spring and be on the POC cardbacks. These look like ARAH figures except for Hawk. Lots of accessories. - Wave 1 of Fall will see the debut of Renegades. Firefly, Techno Viper, Hazard Viper, Cobra Commander, Snake-Eyes and Duke. These will not be done in animated style like say Clone Wars. So they match the animated stylings but using the existing tools though they are creating new tools as well. Basically they will have the costumes of Renegades but be done in 25th/POC style. Vehicles Black Dragon Vtol, Crimson Hiss Tank, Vamp. - 25th Anniversary style Skystriker will be on shelves Fall 2011. Looks like the original. Comes with ACE. It is retooled. It will hold 1 figure, not 2 because they couldnt make it to hold 2 of the new figures.No Parachute either. - Comic Con will be a Transformers/GIJoe Starscream Skystriker with Cobra Commander and Megatron blaster. Doesn't Transform, just a redeco of the regular Skystriker. - There will be more stuff for this 30 for 35th anniversary line later this year. - Mike Fogel Jeff Kline is on stage to talk about G.I.Joe Renegades, the cartoon. Show a clip which debuts 2 new characters, Crimson Guard Commander Twins. The Crimson Guard is also introduced. Though they seem to be more of a cult than soldiers, and Scarlett, Duke and Roadblock seem to be members of the cult fighting Snake-Eyes and Tunnel Rat. The twins seems to have some type of memorizing powers which is how they control people in their cult. - Q&A with the two, one of the reasons why they started at the beginning was because these guys were more fans of the 12" than 3.75" so they weren't as familiar with them so it was a way to learn and develop them as they go from the beginning. - They also wanted to make Cobra evil. In the original series, Cobra never seemed to win so with this show, in a way Cobra has already one and that makes them more evil. - Shipwreck is a character that was hinted to we might see in the near future of the show. - Hasbro plays a tribute video to Clement Sauve - a G.I. JOE: RENEGADES' Character Designer and artist who passed away earlier this year after loosing his battle with cancer.

BUT the vehicles section lists Vehicles Black Dragon Vtol, Crimson Hiss Tank, Vamp.

- 25th Anniversary style Skystriker will be on shelves Fall 2011. Looks like the original. Comes with ACE. It is retooled. It will hold 1 figure, not 2 because they couldnt make it to hold 2 of the new figures.No Parachute either.

- Comic Con will be a Transformers/GIJoe Starscream Skystriker with Cobra Commander and Megatron blaster. aka SDCC

so New SKYSTRIKER...but single seater.... Black Dragon VTOL sounds interesting..

also the Indiana Jones line that didn't make it here in the states will be available at the SDCC as well

The cones that the Techno Viper come with look awesome. Also, the Viper and Trooper interest me a surprising amount. Crazy legs on the other hand... he makes the original look so much better now. __________________ Star Wars Box \| The Viper Pit

Terror Drome is reporting that it was mistakenly identified as a single-seater, and will actually seat two. Though that Skystriker in Justin's pics at Generalsjoes only shows one...

Will there be a movie tie in as well? That would be a lot of product being released at the same time. I like the idea of a new Skystriker being released. __________________ Help, I've fallen and I can't get up!. The Official "atjoe1972" Theme Song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2NnnzhJ6nA

I am going to have to get someone to pick me up the SDCC version as there is no way I can go. __________________ "Better to fight for something than live for nothing." -- George S.

You gonna make a green Skystriker with LEDs? Cause I think that would look really cool.
