Its seems there are rumors swirling about that Stephen Sommers will not be returning to direct GI Joe 2. A few agents for other directors stated that they had been approached about their clients possibly directing the sequel.

It will be a 4 inch limited edition figure with stand and will go for the ridiculous sum of 24.99 according to TNI.

There are a couple of images that don’t appear to have been encoded properly by YouTube during the Highs/Lows segment. The original video was fine and I could not upload it again to YouTube because they said it was a dupe. Imagine the Battle Beast Minimate with a caption of “I want to buy you!”
