Found this at my local TRU. The troll swapped out the red ninja and replaced itÂ with an old Beachhead. I know that it seems like everyone is a ninja,Â but this is taking it a bit far. Correct one is on top, swapped is theÂ bottom.

Toy Aisle Trolls > Ninja? No. Dance Machine? Hells yeah!

I have no idea what’s wrong with the figures in this package, but I’ll take Meister Shake‘s word that it’s an example of a TAT. What I love about it is how the guy on the right is BUSTIN’. Snake Eyes and the other dude are all stiff, but that man isÂ getting down with his bad self and doesn’t care who knows it. I respect that. Shine on, guy.

G.I. Joe: Retraction

...body massage? Anyone?

In what has to be one of the strangest movie-related moves I can remember, Paramount has decided to push back G.I. Joe: RetaliationÂ nearly a full year, to March 2013. The press release claims the delay is because Paramount suddenly, at nearly the literal last frigging minute, decided to redo the movie in 3D.

As Rob notes at TR, 3D does really well in foreign countries, so it’s just possible Paramount and/or Hasbro decided they could make even more money with the much-maligned post-production 3D conversion. (And for what it’s worth, the Rock’s claiming new scenes will be “designed” to take advantage of 3D.)

One thing’s for certain: very few people are buying the argument that this is being done solely to turn the movie into 3D. The studio had plenty of opportunities to make that decision and evidently passed every time – at least untilÂ BattleshipÂ sank (which anyone could have seen coming a mile away).*

Baroness, Cobra Librarian
