DIC G.I. Joe
With all this talk about the Japanese Transformers series, any chance we'll see the DIC G.I. Joe series released sometime in the near future?  It has never been released on DVD before and features the Operation Dragonfire miniseries that is a continuation of the movie.  No dubbing or subtitles to worry about with this release either.

Me too. I liked the part when Cobra Commander tries to sneak in the Stereo 55 night club, and the big strong security guy throws Cobra Commander on the street and says to himself:"It's not fair!"

Andrew Koenig, best known for his role as "Boner" on Growing Pains and the son of Walter Koenig (Chekov from Star Trek), has sadly passed away.  He also provided the voices of Night Creeper Leader and Ambush for this series.  R.I.P.

RE: DIC G.I. Joe

Well Season 1 came out yesterday. I am just waiting until my next payday to get it. I have a quesiton however for anyone who worked on putting this DVD together, or anyone who was fortunate enough to obtain it yesterday...

Does "Operation Dragonfire" have the original opening sequence (with the same intro song as the Marvel/Sunbow series, with slightly altered lyrics), or does it have the "Got to Get Tough" opening? I am hoping for the original as I never knew about it until seeing it on youtube recently.

It's the original opening with alternate lyrics.

RE: DIC G.I. Joe

After season 2 is released, I wonder which Joe series (if any) Shout will tackle next:

Sgt. Savage & His Screaming Eagles (one shot episode that was packaged on VHS with select Sgt. Savage figures).

G.I.Joe Extreme (2 seasons, 26 episodes)

G.I.Joe Sigma Six (2 seasons, 26 episodes - never fully aired all episodes in the US).

G.I.Joe Renegades (1 season, 26 episodes).

I think Renegades is a given.  I'm not sure if the other series are popular enough.

RE: DIC G.I. Joe
Just got my copy of Show 2 season 1 dvd set today and i must say i'm very disapointed.

I've never seen the DiC version before and how they hell could they make a G.I. Joe show with so few know faces (Destro, Baroness, Slaughter, Cobra Commander, G. Hawk, Lady J) this comes nowhere near as good as the original series in my mind. I need Snake Eyes, StormShadow, Quick Kick, Alpine, Shipwreck, Zartan and Dreadknocks etc

As for other G.I. Joe series i'll buy every single one (inc season 2 of the show i just sad was disapointing) since i want ALL G.I. Joe .

Never seen Extreme either and only seen some Sigma 6 but i would want both of them just as much as i want Renegades.

RE: DIC G.I. Joe
Well most of us knew going in that it wasn't very good. The good news for you is that season 2 (The last 20 episodes) at least you get Snake Eye's & Storm Shadow back (even though these episodes are even worse than the 1st season). It is the very thin line of continuity from the original series that compels me to purchase these.
I've never watched any of the other incarnations of GI:Joe (except for the Resolute micro-series which I thought was great btw...  But to any of the others have any links to the orignal series, or are they all pretty much independent moving forward?
In any case, cant wait for series 2 season 2 to finish things off. Oh and on a final note. I am so glad DIC did nto get their grubby hands on Transformers. I shudder to think what they would have done.

G.I.Joe Extreme is losely tied to the Sunbow/DIC universe by Sgt. Savage. Hawk, Lady Jaye and I believe Doc all appeared in the direct to video episode "Old HeroesNever Die" that was packaged with select Sgt. Savage figures.
