If you miss the GI Joes that were released prior to the new 25th Ann, you are semi in luck.  Hasbro has gone and started to release Joes with O rings in the Incredible Hulk line for Mr Hulk to beat up on. One of the figures has a new head, but over all these remind me of those good old knock off pick and save toys. More pictures after the break.

Recently we are Toy Retard were able to take a few pictures of Soze’s (from Animepunch.com) massive single card 25th anniversary G. I. Joe collection.  Soze has been an avid collector of other toys, but this is the first time we have seen his GI Joe items.  He does promise that he has more than just single card though.  More comic 2 packs/battle packs on the way.
