General Joe Talk / Re: Whiteout?
« on: April 27, 2010, 09:59:00 PM »
As to who this guy is, here's the story.  Back in 2000, when hasbro was remaking vintage style figures and messing up the names and such, they released a two pack with big ben and snow job, which they renamed whiteout.  Here's the yojoe.com scoop: 

Hasbro occasionally has named figures after individuals - usually Hasbro employees. Whiteout is unofficially named after Lenny Lee - publisher of Lee's Action Figure Times and News, a magazine about toy collecting.

I'm not crazy about the cartoon.  But I want the destro in a dress (or 3 or 4) for a project and the joe pack does look cool.  I like the scarlett, looks like the ddp version.

How'd you get an advance copy?

Didn't really want to publicize that part, since someone might get upset with the person.  

This might be a good comic for Larry to sign if he's at the convention this year...  :)

That's cheaper than the only other place I've seen it, which was 79.99 for the set.  ;D

Larry Hama returns with 22 pages of awesome!  The comic begins with an intro by Andy Schmidt which actually provides some insight into how this process got started (IDW came to Larry), and how it will continue (witih Larry calling the shots!).  The art, while very faithful to the original outfits, had some new looks for some characters.  I must say, I would be pulling out my wallet for a figure based on the new look of the Baroness.


In addittion, the comic includes some bios of Billy and the Brainwave Scanner which I liked.


And a fabulous question and answer spread with Larry addressing some questions that were posted on the IDW forum.


Welcome back Larry!  I'm thrilled to see this continuation of what is for me the true G.I.Joe.

I have built a few, many years ago.  Or at least started a few!  These days, I'm glad the 25th vehicles came assembled!

The widescreen Transformers DVD actually had less of the original film on it than the 4:3 version. They just chopped the top and bottom to make it "wide" for theatres.

It is probably the same case for G.I. Joe.

That being said, I'll still end up buying it because I am a fanboy who is easily separated from his dollars.

More importantly... when is Resolute going to get a Blu-Ray release?

If that's the case then no worries.  I won't need a blu-ray player.  I would still be interested in what extras there'll be.

-Meanwhile, Back In The Comics: End Game -  this article is for me.  As kid, i was able to read only a few comics and for me, knowing  the status of my favourites caracters is a great update :)
                                                                  

Yeah, I've read the entire marvel run in the last 10 months and I still had forgotten some of the status details at the end.
