New updates. Images courtesy of Sherwood of ACToys. Joe army builder the PIT commando. What's great is the sheer amount of accessories, no stupid oversized projectile launcher and the likeness of "Steel Brigade", the"be your own GiJoe" mail-away figure. Hehe we can finally be a part of the Joe team again. Yay!  click to view larger images. Both packaging variants  Lots of gear!      I think I might army build this guy. Also, check out the back of the card. Single carded Hawk.  Also, the new Joe agent (from the video game I think?) is Agent Helix.   Plus Flash, movie (game?) version.   Images are from Ebay. Gold |

GIJOE MOVIE DIRECTOR FIRED enewsi.com/news.php?catid=190&itemid=15287--------------------------------------------------- Endtimes posted the following over at the Don Murphy boards about director Stephen Sommers being fired from G.I.Joe. Though some sources have chimed in to there being truth to the following post, there has been no offical confirmation from Paramount on this so this should all be considered nothing more as rumor at this time. So the story goes like this- after a test screening wherein the film tested the lowest score ever from an audience in the history of Paramount, the executive who pushed for the movie Brad Weston had Stephen Sommers, the super hack director of the film fired. Removed. Locked out of the editing room. Stuart Baird, a renowned "fixer" editor was brought it to try to see if it could be made releasable. Meanwhile producer Lorenzo whose turkey IMAGINE THAT explodes this weekend as the new bomb in theatres (also championed by Weston) was told his services were no longer needed on the film either. Sommers was then forced by his William Morris agents to pretend that he was working on Tarzan over at Warner Brothers doing design work, even though that film doesn't even have a good script yet. When word of the firing started to be whispered about in Hollywood, Sommers was summoned back to the editing room- but only to save appearances, Baird is still editing the movie with studio input. Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner, who turned down other offers from the property to go with the script that was rushed in 8 weeks by Stuart Beattie because of the writer's strike is frantic that this will destroy the brand and is distancing himself from the pending catastophe. NONE of this needed to happen, except someone who did not know the mythology, Lorenzo was in charge of the film and never contradicted Sommers on anything. Lorenzo, so you know, was Chairman of Warners and had GI JOE under option there (not as a producer) for SEVEN years and he refused to greenlight the film, stating that because he gre up in Italy he had no knowledge of it. If you google enough, at one point you will see he wanted the film to be about an action hero named MANN (Action Man, get it) and he clearly had no clue what the GI Joe world really was. And the hapless hack Sommers? Where did he come from? The confused Jon Fogelman at William Morris, who signed Hasbro away from CAA, had to find a director in a hurry for his new clients and gave him the only guy who he repped who would do it. A sad end to what COULD have been a great franchise. Acceleration suits indeed. -------------------------------------------------- Whoa... Although it's not yet 100% confirmed, but if this were true. Oh man.. BTW Stephen Sommers is also the director of The Mummy movies and (shudder) Van Helsing. EDIT: Ok it seems like the movie's Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura came out on an interview to debunk the rumors about the firing of Stephen Sommers. Read the "Update" Portion at the bottom of the link. click to read Latinoreview ArticleThe movie will start showing on August 7, 2009, guess we'll find out for sure then if this movie will rock or not.

the CC is actually a disappointment, ive seen it personally and skipped on it, but if you're planning on getting it, i suggest to dremel the eye sockets to expose the eyes similar to the photo in the background... man, the vehicles suck so bad! and expensive as well!  @fenrir: yeah! Female Cobra Trooper FTW!!!  |

Hehe, it's not the Joe movie of my dreams but it was tolerable enough, just hate 3 things about it -Snake Eyes' lips (Power Rangers?) -Cobra Commander's over the top voice when he wore the new mask. -Ripcord and Scarlette... just no.. nothing against Inter-racial relationships but I would've liked it if it was the old Duke-Scarlette-Snake Eyes love angle, heaven knows we don't need another character added in that mess.
