Holy crap, is that a giant G.I. Joe playset/base for the figures on that one page? I can only hope there's more big vehicles coming again, movie suckage or not.

My bad, that's Robocop. I guess I was mistaken BECAUSE THEY LOOK EXACTLY ALIKE.

Oh for Pete's sake... If anything, the "Accelerator Suits" look more like Iron Man than Robocop:

The only thing that is more pathetic and lame than every single bit of info we've seen on this movie is the fact millions of dumb motherfuckers will make it a hit just like they did Transformers.

I hope there's a fast-food tie in as well to bring us even more toy pain. Mmm Snake Fries.

And check out the cool "Snake Fri" in the right hand corner, which allows you to use your imagination to create your own wacky look.

It's perfect for building a portfolio that'll undoubtedly get you a spot on the design team for the inevitable sequel!!

I hear ya, Gary. The worst part is that crappy moviemaking gets validated because people go to see it because it's called G.I. Joe or Transformers. I believe just as many people would have gone to see Transformers if they actually looked like Transformers. But no, now supporters of the film's style can point to the numbers and say something must have been done right because of the success.

whats a 2006 Scion B doing in the GI Joe movie? And WTF is a Mole Pod?

Side Note: Robocop would kick Jason's ass

Better shot of Snake Fries here:

Best toy in the line, so far. Not sure how you can have a Mobile Pit, though. Maybe it'll be cool? I dunno.

And Templar, take back what you said about Iron Man.

Okay, franchise reboot-reboot time.

We need that Dr. Who anime guy to get on top of this.

Sal, a Mole Pod is a drill vehicle that Hasbro showed off at Licensing Show last year:

It's actually pretty reminiscent of classic Cobra vehicles like the Buzz Boar, if you ask me. Although I may also be remembering the things Bebop and Rocksteady drove around in on TMNT.

@ sal

"whats a 2006 Scion B doing in the GI Joe movie?"

Not only that, but why is it called a "Steel Crusher" when we all know that 2 or 3 drunk frat boys can turn an xB onto it's roof in 2 minutes flat.

The trailer looks good but everything else I've seen for this movie looks terrible. I guess we will just have to wait and see.

I literally do not know what to say about that...

I wouldn't mind Cobra Commander so much if he had a helmet on along with that mask. At least then it could -kinda- look like his third costume incarnation. Either way, that cobra van looks kinda cool. Anything to add to the viper army I'm building is welcome.

So what I get from this is that Hasbro is a bunch of liars. Everytime there's a Q&A w/them about Star Wars they cry like weening babies that there's no market to support something like playset. No playsets for Star Wars, too big. No playsets for Star Wars, 'cuz kids don't play like that anymore.

Here's the flyer--BIGASS PLAYSET. Where's my friggin' re-issued Death Star you douchebags?

So we got "Snake Fries," I'd like a large "Shake Eyes," with my combo meal please.

Are those 4 douche nozzles on Cobra Commanders mask?

BTW, that mr potato head Snake eyes. It signals the end of civilization as we know it. I bring you Farmaggeddon. Enjoy it.

Has anyone seen the new teaser? - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrYaLM3_sTY

why does cobra commander look like chuthulu? can someone please explain why his cheecks have suction cups? is hasbro hurting so bad for money that they are going to take the toy line that did for action figures what hotwheels did for cars and sacrifice the last vestiges of it's mangled history on the alter of slash & burn pfofitering? there tack record thus far has been unbelivibly abhorent.they have constantly butchered every single license they get there hands on, so it should come as no surprise thay they would grab one of there flagship in house production lines by the ankles and bash it's head against the wall. I personally never understood why hasbro ignores fan/primary consumer input and simply steamroles ahead with reaching longshots. if they had one iota of inteligence or at least a little foresight, they would browse through the thousands of pages of fan fiction and simply buy the licencing rights for reproduction. i could garantee that they would net there elusive profits AND satisfy the consumers. but, if they did that we'ed have nothing to bitch about. at least for about two months(and even that's being generous)

ok. in defense of some of hasbro's decisions: the pit mobile command center is an aparent remake of the mobile command center with the diver,steamroller, from the real american hero series of the 1980's. for those of you who remember it was that large brown monstrosity that one of your less inteligent friends would save there allowences and birthday money from grandma for.(however,in my opinion, if they were going to remake a big obnoxious toy they should have remade the U.S.S. FLAG.) the "mole-pod" is, i'm sorry to say, one of the cobra toys i've always wanted since i was a kid. i remember it primarily from the arise serpentor arise series and one of the first season episodes with geraldo rivera or whatever the character who was based on him named. i thought it was sick as hell along with all of cobras unproduced vehicles.(now if they follow up with those stingray mega subs from the sunbow cartoon series i might forgive them for the dic series.)the steel crusher looks more like an h3 to me than an xb. this is actually a logical replacement for the repainted vamp with the four red missles from the 80's.(i think it was the night raider or night stalker or some other retro macho horse shit.) anyway, it is faithful to the original, it just loses a hell of a lot in the translation.the one i am really looking forward to, though, is the night raven. that thing was pure sex with wings when i was a kid and now it comes with something that makes every grown man salivate: big-ass fucking missles. if they re-make the fang,hiss,and troublebubbles this good i'll forgive them for once again screwing with a perfectly good formula. now it all depends if the script reads good on screen or if it tanks like the spruce goose. i guess we'll just have to wait and see.
