TOY NEWS FOR 5/27/2014 - HASBRO - GI JOE - 50th ANNIVERSARY PRODUCT

Big Bad Toy Store has published some brand new pictures of this year's upcoming GI Joe 50th Anniversary product. Apparently, it will be a shared exclusive with Toys R Us who, previously, was the only known retailer to be carrying Joe this year.

Many people, including myself, were a bit underwhelmed by Hasbro's product for Joe's 50th birthday, but if we're getting anything at all, then I'm certainly not going to complain.

Conspicuously absent from the list is the Lady Jaye/Baroness 2-Pack that was announced at Toy Fair.

THE EAGLE'S EDGE - LEATHERNECK, DESTRO & HAWK - $22.99

THE VIPER'S PIT - COBRA VIPER OFFICER, BEACH HEAD & COBRA TROOPER - $22.99

BATTLE BELOW ZERO - GHOST HAWK & COBRA WOLF with SNAKE EYES AND ICE VIPER - $39.99

DANGER AT THE DOCKS - VAMP MkII & NIGHT RAFT with FLINT & COBRA EEL - $29.99

VERSUS TWO PACKS - LOW LIGHT vs NIGHT VIPER - BLOWTORCH vs HEAT VIPER - $16.99 EACH

We don't know if the prices and release dates will remain the same between TRU and BBTS (BBTS' info is used here), but for now, these sets are set to begin shipping in August.
