If I recall correctly, the artist of these mentioned that he did them for a pitch to Hasbro to produce licensed material like t-shirts etc. This happened many years back and Hasbro has rejected the pitch.
Since he named the images G.I. Joe Retro, someone has unearthed these recently while searching for the Retro Line. However, a very similar artwork can be found on the history section of the official G.I. Joe website.

Well, if everything goes like it has been going all year, we should be due for some leaks to spoil the big event anytime now right?
I just bought the Now and Then set from 2009 with the Rockslide, Polar Battle Bear and two versions of Snow Job a couple weeks ago, and if these retro figures are made like the ARAH Snow Job in that set we'll be just fine. It looks great, has all his accessories, and the plastic is much better than what we had in the early 2000's o-rings. I really only wanted to get a better Snow Job figure than the old one I've had, but it made more sense to get that one since it's brand new, and I even get to put stickers on a new Battle Bear! |

It's probably been 20 years now. I put together a Phantom X-19 by purchasing a few incomplete ones on eBay then reselling the extra parts I didn't need. One even came with a nice box. I don't have Ghost Rider's scarf but I did get everything else. It's an awesome jet fighter! I wouldn't mind if they released a new one.

I never had the Hurricane but it looked awesome! I like it along with the Hammer and Destro's Dominator from 1990. Destro's Dominator also would need better tabs to keep the tank treads up for helicopter mode.

October 1st? I thought they have them in country now? Maybe it's to promote the movie more. No Duke either. Bummer.

So if the Movie eventually gets it’s released date pushed to 2021, is Walmart going to have those sit in the back? Then tell us G.I. Joe doesn’t sell like the whole fiasco from Retaliation.
