JOE 2 the movie
- Thread starter xhairs
- Start date
Paramount is claiming that it's to film additional, 3D-specific scenes, but word around the campfire is it got mauled by in test screenings, so they're gonna make Tatertot shoot some more scenes.
Apparently Battleship sinking faster than the Admiral Graf Spee did NOT help matters.

it cant be no worse than the roc. they let that heap of shit out. oh well, so i take it, there is no release date as of now?
Reconsider their relationship with paramount?
Exactly!...theres tons of sweet 1:18th military vehicles we can all get *snicker*
I could definitely be cool with this delay if it's to tone down some of the ninja nonsense...
Hah - I just got an email from Entertainment Earth. "Items from the hit delayed movie! Preorder Now!"
Retaliation must have been so shitty that they had to do this. I'm convinced that's what happened. I no longer look forward to this movie, but instead dread its inevitable release. Why don't they just cancel it already and cut their loses. Toy companies have no business making movies anyway.
I checked the targets and TRU in my area on the way home from work... they are following the street date still
Oh boy.. reminds me of the heady days of 2009 waiting for the RoC toys.. I remember being SO EXCITED to find the PIT Commando/General Hawk/Crimson Viper wave at Target before anyone else..
Looking back those figures seem 10x better than Retaliation..

i'm not excited for the toys at all... but seeing they are now on hiatus... I wanna make sure I grab at least 1 of the ones I do like... all 3 of them 
"good" is fairly subjective, here. I think the 3 packs will have the best stuff.
Unfortunately there is no Pit Commando this time around (Joe Trooper sucks, live with it), and while not nearly as bad as Koopa Vipers with laser guns, the Cobra troops are still no Murderer's Row.
Baby Blue Cobra Paratrooper
Alley Viper in this god-awful red and grey camo
Cobra Invasion Trooper (Shock Trooper, double dicked by A: Being in a 3-pack and B: I'm convinced will share the same/similar vile deco as the Alley Viper)
The named Cobras are just as queef-sniffing as last time, though.
Firefly could have been awesome, but he get's dicked by the single-knee fairy, not to mention the transparent forearms that go with his lame Radioactive Extreme Sports Street Luge action feature.
Storm Shadow. What can I say, more tired white costume ninja faggotry.
Zartan. I hate the character, and this weak-ass turd of a figure with a lame '90s light piping gimick does nothing to redeem him. Really, wave 1 of the movie line is where you want to throw your defunct cartoon homage Zartan figure?
But feh, I'll still buy what I like/can use/improve. Starting to sound like one of those whiny douchebag Joe fanboys.

I hear you KT. As you all know by now I'm not a JOE die hard fan, but god what is up with the crap on wave one.
Even the packaging is weak. Probably a good representation of the movie. I like some of what may be coming but they went from great details in poc and even renegades to this? For a block buster movie?? Yikes.

Why won't hasbro put any of their suited movie characters in toy form AT RETAIL?....actual main characters...last time it was destro...not its Prezatan of the united states....
I heard Hasbro is asking Retailers to return the GI Joe stuff. Retailers are frustrated once again too. Hasbro has tried so hard to kill this brand name once and for all over the past few years, I wonder how many more beatings the brand can take before its gone like Micro-Machines, Mask, or He-Man.
Return the merch eh? Hmmm. Wonder if it'll become collectors items or just get stored for 9 months in the warehouse..
Jesus Christ. Why is everyone taking this article like gospel? It's fucking Variety, not Toyfare (before they went out of business). They probably saw the rumor that Hasbro wanted stuff returned and ran with it. They're not a toy publication. It's like getting your sports news from Wine Enthusiast.
Is there a reputable toy publication, though? (Besides this stellar news establishment, that is.)
I'd think Variety knows more about anything than a toy site.

Figured that too, but you never know. Maybe they had an article about llama farming or something
