I saw the Royal Guard figure and nearly shat my pants! I THINK I see a Golobulous figure there too in the background unless my eyes have mistaken me!

 

Will someone please confirm that Hasbro is actually considering exploring the awesome characters of the old animated G.I. Joe movie? I know Nemesis Enforcer is coming out..but whats the deal, any figures off Golobulous or that awesome chick with the crazy claw fingernails and bald reptile head with the cloak there? Her name escapes me for the moment...

 

I personally loved that movie and have wanted decent figures off of it for a long time!

Those are customs. You can tell when the original figure is standing next to it. Also they have no white card with release information next to them.

I've got a conspiracy theory about these "customs", for looking as good as they do...

 

When we first heard about the DVD Entertainment packs last Fall (JoeCon 07), it seemed like we were getting one based on each of the 5-part Sunbow Miniseries. The Movie, subsequently broken up into 5 20 minutes episodes, was the likely 5th set. Then, from the Con itself, I swear I read a report that said Hasbro was *changing their mind* about The Movie, instead opting to do a "Best of" set which we've yet to see or hear more about.

 

Now looking at customs for Guards and Golobulus that just look above and beyond that first round of customs we saw in 2007, I get the feeling these were the mock-ups Hasbro R&D did for the proposed Movie pack. Obviously, these guys are practically all-new sculpting, barely anything about them is based on pre-existing 25th figures. While Pythona, and Airtight that we saw way back when were merely repaints, these guys smack of Hasbro giving the idea a go, then backing up and saying "Woah! That's way too much work for cult-status characters!"
