Hasbro - G.I. Joe Movie Toys - Night Raven

Also on display was the Night Raven that everyone is very excited about. It will have a handle for cocking and firing projectiles in their "lock and load" feature, but the handle will hide so the jet displays well too.


We can also take a look at the packaging - it has a matte finish because that's still the prototype but it is great to see the fully painted art instead of a clear window.


One of the big disappointments was direct from the mouth of the brand manager, that they will not be making Snake Fries. This was another figure that was 'leaked' from the catalog pic that circled the internet last week, and was hands down the best Mr. Potato Head tie in name to date. A real bummer that they won't be releasing it anymore - and confusing as well.

Overall I got the feeling that they were holding back a lot of announcements so that they have big reveals remaining for San Diego. I guess it's the case that the movie isn't until later in the year, though it's a shame that Toy Fair is clearly no longer the end-all beat-all of announcements, and that they gave us really a very small look at the product lines overall. Well, we have lots more images to wade through, as well as their official memory stick, so back to it!
