Recently got the latest issue of the AUS Toy Retailer magazine, and there is a nice article about Hasbro, Transformers and GI Joe in it. I'm breaking up the big news items from the article into 3 different postings - the AUS TFs release dates, the AUS GIJoe release dates, and general overview of the article itself.
GIJoe movie 'will be released in Australia on 6 August, with product in retail by 26 June'.
Both movies being released within 2 weeks, and toys out at the same time - Hasbro AUS is gonna be busy mid 2009.
Also from the article:
- The GI Joe Movie includes Dennis Quaid as General Hawk, and former Dr Who Christopher Eccleston as Destro.
- Australia will be the first market in the world to get the brand (product?). (maybe there is a later release in America, the home of GIJoe)
- Products include, action figures, vehicles, and play sets. Three example figures mentioned are Cobra Commander, Snake Eyes and Timber, his wolf. So could be confirmation that they are also in the movie.
