Gentle Giant had an impressive list of exclusives at this year’s SDCC, including this 12″ G.I. Joe ‘Grunt’ figure.
Essentially an upscaled model of the original ‘Grunt’ 3.75″ figure, this particular figure came in a sturdy wooden lock box.
Inside, the figure is stored in a cushioned cutout, with his backpack, helmet, and service rifle on the opposite side. An awesome addition to any G.I. Joe fan’s collection.
What better way to start a Saturday morning than with a good ole-fashioned ninja fight? Campy awesomeness at its best, although this may also be spoiling the best part of the new ‘G.I. Joe’ movie, so watch at your own risk.
‘G.I. Joe: Retaliation’ drops March 28th, 2013.
I think I’m going to let this trailer speak for itself.
‘G.I. Joe Retaliation’ is coming out soon, and with the release of a movie based on a toy property comes the toy line of the movie based on a toy line. One of the more interesting items to be released is the Battle-Kata Blaster. What makes it so interesting is the grip and trigger can be removed from the blaster and a blade hidden in the forward grip can be attached to it, so the toy functions as a 2-in-1 gun/knife combo. It also comes with 3 blaster bolts, but the blaster uses a psuedo-bolt action that doesn’t launch them very far, so.. eh.
Did you see Dennis Quaid in ‘G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra’ and notice that interesting camouflage pattern he was wearing? Although from a distance it looks a bit MultiCam-ish, the pants actually “…feature a traditional woodland pattern, as well as mixed digital squares and the G.I. Joe logo.”, the later of which is a neat little addition you can see in the image above. The official description came from PropStore.com, who is offering the General Hawk Abernathy uniform in its entirety.
Along with the Joe camo pants above, then set also comes with an Army Green XXL Under Armor shirt with the official G.I. Joe insignia and a tan belt with metal slide inclosure. Besides the uniform itself, the buyer gets a set of production tags that display the text “Hawks” and “Chng #5/Hero” and an official Certificate of Authenticity from Paramount Pictures. The only problem is, it ain’t cheap.
