Thanks to GIJoe.com for this info from Toy Fair 2008:
G.I. JOE COUNTS DOWN TO BIG SCREEN DEBUT BY HIGHLIGHTING CLASSIC FAN FAVORITE TOYS IN 2008 Hasbro’s Toy Line Focuses on “G.I. JOE vs. COBRA†Fantasy from the 1980s PAWTUCKET, R.I. (February 2008) – With the first-ever full-length G.I. JOE feature film from Paramount Pictures in association with Hasbro, scheduled to land in movie theaters in August of 2009, Hasbro enlists an entire regiment of new G.I. JOE vs. COBRA figures and comics to reinforce its wildly popular 25th Anniversary line. The 2008 toys tap into two fan favorite components from the 1980s: the popular cartoon series and the 3-3/4-inch scale vehicles. In addition, the classic 12†scale figure returns this Fall with a kid-focused line that helps introduce a new generation of fans to the G.I. JOE vs. COBRA fantasy prior to the saga hitting multiplexes around the world next year. ----- To see more info & Hi-Res Pictures, click in the Title Bar To join in on the discussion, head over to the Official Hiss Tank 2008 Toy Fair Thread |
