G.I. Joe thread - 02/01 G.I. Joe Day Reveals: Doc, Torch and more

[Platypus Prime]

I had color-change-in-cold Zartan, the only Classifieds figure I had, I wasn't impressed enough to get any others. I had heard a rumor about a crossovers Thunder Machine, and I will see if that comes with anything interesting. The troubles HISS Megatron and Stalker Bee ran into makes me wonder if we will ever see that one, if it was even real in the first place.

I do like how Super 7's hood could almost be mistaken for hair. Just due to the animation when I was a kid, I always assumed Zartan had a full head of hair, all the figures being bald threw me and honestly still does.

 

[Powered Convoy]

I think the animators also treated as both (or mostly as hair) so I believe it was a common interpretation.

 

[Platypus Prime]

It didn't help that many times to make his disguise fit he'd pull it back and tuck it under, not take the hood OFF, so I never considered he was bald till I actually saw a toy of him.

Edit: Then again, in GI Joe when someone pulled off a disguise they'd usually have their normal uniform on under it, no matter what, so I guess that Zartan doing whatever he did with his headgear didn't mean anything...

Personal subspace pockets are great. Weapons, trailers, uniforms, you name it . . .

So, by chance, I came across G.I. Joe: Sigma 6 on the official G.I. Joe YouTube channel earlier, and I'm trying to remember: did it run concurrently with any Transformers series at the time? From what I can tell, it looks like it kinda fell between Cybertron and Animated, yeah?

 

[Dake]

Sounds right; that's what IMDB says anyway.

I believe S6 was animated by Gonzo, the same animators for "Cybertron/Galaxy force".

 

[Steevy Maximus]

Sigma 6 launched in the fall of 2005, basically concurrent with Cybertron.

As enough time has probably passed, I've put the storyboard samples from the late Wendell Washer, off his now-deleted website that I saved a couple years ago, up at the Archive.

In this case, the Joe episode Cobra Stops The World: https://sunbowmarvelarchive.blogspot.com/p/mp600-gi-joe-real-american-hero-1983.html

Yo Jo June kicks off with preorders for:

Tiger Force Dusty (Target)
Python Patrol Crimson Guard (Target)
Arctic BAT (Amazon/Fanchannel)
Televiper with Trubble Bubble (Pulse)

The next Haslab will also be shown off on Monday.

Is the televiper a female? The heads in some pics look like it, but not in others.

 

[Haywire]

It has 3 alternate heads to make troop building easier, so maybe one is meant to be female?

 

[TriBlurr]

It's a guy. The alt heads are 2 different skin tones and a completely masked face.

They just have nice lips.

Wild Bill seems like a pretty marquee character to permanently lock behind a Haslab.

I wonder if they just mean “normal” Wild Bill and a Tiger Force rendition will hit retail?
