wonder if any one making the armor yet
Luv to get my hands on that
Not diggin' what I'm seeing too much yet. The black works for Snake Eyes, but the cookie cutter look of all of the uniforms, no creativity there. Each Joe had an individual look which we've come to love. They're screwing with our childhood memories again. I fear for this movie.
I hear you.Originally Posted by hansoloway
The more I look at Snake Eyes' "mouth", the more I cringe.
I do like his visor though. If you look close enough, you can see Ray Park's eyes through it.
I'm waiting for Destro...
ya i agree, theres not a huge distinction in the look of the charecters.
I am with ya, that formed mouth is just WEIRD. The costumes are totally uninspired. BTW, PLEASE do not post this outside of TDH, but here is a link to all the pics:

I will take these down tonight so get them while you can... then we can all make fun of them together!
Oh dear
I gotta say, yes they do look off a bit. But in a way, it is adding more current day realism. Would you really see Duke running out there in the middle of a war without body armor nowadays? Or Scarlett wearing spandex in the battlefield? I think it has a kinda cool aspect to it. We will have to go down the road and see what else pops up. But, I don't think they will be wearing this during the whole movie. They will probably have some form of their cartoon costumes in the movie.
Wow...yeah I'm kinda with you guys. What a friggin let down on the costumes. Last time I checked, all our armed forces still wore fatigues. Whats with making everything look so futuristic?
Where is StormShadow's ninja look? He's like an anime/emo cosplayer or something. The only two in those pictures who looks remotely close to a GI Joe from what we remember is Baroness and Snake Eyes. Yeah whats up with that formed mouth?
I mean, I'm no movie critic at all...but does the apple always have to fall so far from the tree when they make these things?
*sigh*
What about Hawk? He doesn't look all...body armored up and I think he looks cool.
Well.. they kinda do have the signature looks
Scarlett - Always wore the tight body suit and carried a cross bow.
Snake Eyes - all in black the ninja sword, only thing missing is his Uzi/Tec-9 and Timber.
Baroness - Again, tight bodysuit, not digging the "gargoyle" glasses, but the aspect of her glasses is there.
Storm Shadow - I guess this is a modern day ninja look, but I still want to see the full "old fashioned" look with the hood and all.
Hawk - Camo pants and leather jacket. The Berret is a nice touch, kinda a bit "Flint" looking when the jacket is off too.
...i will wait for the movie before passing judgement...
...pretty cool looking props thus far
I'll have to wait until I get home, cause I can't see any of the pics due to my works security protocols.
Wow. The more pictures that get released the less excited I am about this.
These outfits really lack style and creativity all together. : (
Same here, as for the props they aren't too shabby.
They look like they are all from the video game CRYSIS. Not that there is anything wrong with that. I just hope it doesn't end up like STREETFIGHTER THE MOVIE. What a horrible, horrible movie...
Lol!
i'm am so going to have to see this movie so next time i see dennis down at chico i can give him a little hell for it.
They had me at Snake Eyes...and lost me with the rest (yuck)! So far it looks like Parks is the only good casting call they made! Those uniforms suck...except for Snake Eyes!
Is it me or is Dennis Quaid starting to look like Rick McCallum?
I have held out ZERO faith that this movie would be any good from the moment I heard they were going to make it. Now that pics are leaking out it's confirmed for me. This is going to be another thing from our childhood that gets processed and spit out like some rehashed piece of re-engineered garbage! Snake Eyes is the ONLY thing that looks cool and even then the sculpted mouth is absurd. Baroness looks hot but then WHY not give her the glasses we all expect her to have? WHY?
LAME.
I agree this movie is going to stink! Storm Shadow looks like he should be in the Matrix!
I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought that! I was kinda hoping for the "traditional" ninja style gear, not some "futuristic/matrix" sword guy.
Storm Shadow looks like he's going to prom with a couple of swords strapped to his back.
And isn't Duke supposed to be an old grizzled veteran Sergeant? Why choose some young guy who looks like he stepped off the cover of GQ?
dennis quaid is playing duke. and if you've ever drank with the man you know he's an ond grizzled veteran, but he can party like a rock star!
Dennis Quaid is playing General Hawk.
They could have AND SHOULD HAVE done it much better.....
I'm not familiar with the comics or honestly with much of the characters, but I remember playing with my brother's GI Joe dolls back when they had the furry crew cuts and darn it, GI Joe's don't look like these do in the movie. These costumes are so uninspired and look like every other film of recent- Doom, Underworld, Matrix, Blade, Batman, X-Men. Can't someone come up with something original? Isn't it possible to stay true to what they are meant to look like? There are a couple of girl costumes in this movie which it would have been cool to do but they are such generic costumes that what is point in doing something if everyone is going to be like "what movie are you from?"
Well, Baroness is pretty true to how she looked in the cartoon, comics and figure. The only thing really missing are the circular glasses and a giant "cobra" symbol on her chest. (it's like that on the figure)
Yeah, I was telling Brak's that she looked an awful lot like Trinity from The Matrix and then he told me the same as you said and showed me a picture of her.
Did anybody notice that the cammo fabric on General Hawk and Cover Girl actually says "GIJOE" on it...
...*sigh*...
Dolls? aw man.I thought I was playing with action figures
*Looks at bag of GIJoes behind him* Ah memories... purhaps I should set them up...and FIGHT!!!!
Wow, Andy... I would have thought you would be all over this! While you may not quite have the moves Ray Parks probably will, I really think you pull off the spirit of Snake Eyes MUCH more convincingly than what I am seeing in these pics. You look like a ninja... The Park Snake Eyes looks like some sort of Bane-esque charcter... Like a black rubber Arnold or something... I know what they were trying to do but they just didn't pull it off.
Since I am a wee bit into G.I. JOE myself......
....I am glad they used Ray Park as the modernized Snake-Eyes. He's a cool guy and he's a good choice for that character. The rest of the modernized Batman armored JOEs do nothing for me.
Mr Fett, now that's what I'm talking about! That is Snake Eyes like I remember him! Well done!
These characters were such a big part of my childhood. Why can't they get people to produce these movies who have the same kind of love for the characters as the fans who grew up with them? There's got to be someone out there who can design individualized uniforms for the characters which are "modernized", but still true to the flavor of the character they represent.
On a side note, I've gotten my son a bunch of the 25th anniversary figures which recently came out, so he's into them now.
Exactly!!! Like I said Andy, you really fit the bill!
Apparently the Storm Shadow look was pulled from "Cobra Reborn"
Yeah, mine is heavily based on the 1985 (second figure) version. Not exact, since I threw in a little of the more modern version into it, but still kept with the mainly old school theme. One difference I did with my visor is make it more angular instead of rounded, because that's how it was sometimes drawn in the old comics (and every other Snake-Eyes I'd seen does the rounded version so I was trying to be a little different).
I actually made my first Snake-Eyes costume before I even got into the Star Wars costuming. I grew up with the 80s version of the G.I. JOEs and Snake-Eyes was and is so dear to my childhood memories. I praise Ray Park's gymnastic martial arts abilities and that he's such a nice guy in real life, so kudos to choosing him. But, like Braks said, the suit they made for him was too overly scupted. It looks like they were trying to match the Image comics look for him (what I call the 'new Snake-Eyes'). That's pretty typical nowadays in Hollywood to severly modernize every comic type character we've seen thus far.
Thanks for the compliments Braks and hansoloway.
......and of course have you seen my prom picture?

Ok, with that picture of what Scarlett is supposed to look like, compare that to what she looks like in film...are you saying the purple spandex is more realistic? I'm sorry, while I love the old school Joe look, I have to give the benefit to the 09 Movie Scarlett.
No, I'm not saying they have to go exactly like the old school Scarlett, just something in between her and the movie costumed Batman Scarlett. For an example, during the Superman Returns and Spider-Man movies, the actors were wearing muscle suits under their spandex costumes and it looked good and still natural. Having sculpted on muscles for the movie Snake-Eyes suit doesn't look natural.
Same for the other JOEs. Too much Batman looking. Now Batman Begins was an amazing movie and his costume was cool (and they tried to give an explanation what the suit actually was), and they still stuck to the basic Batman history. This movie will almost certainly completely change the G.I. JOE characters history completly. Blah.

their armor looks very xmen-ish. i wouldnt be suprised if it ended up being A LOT like the xmen movies.
Not happy with the generic look either. If they wanted to have everyone wearing those kinds of outfits, couldn't they have just gone with the "old reliable"
http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/showt...rship+troopers
yeah this pretty much sums up my opinion of how this is going to turn out
makes ya wonder what there gonna do with cobra comander and destro !?
will he even have the face shield helmet or what??
Here's something I read on the MWG board and don't know, if it is reliable. If it is, then the costumes are the least of our problems.
http://www.latinoreview.com/scriptreview.php?id=62
Well now that they made Cover Girl a blonde instead of a redhead...I guess I'll just stick to my old school costume. I do so love the bomber jacket anyway.
Andy's Snakeyes is and always will be my favorite costume. Especially his version with the tube sock.... lol Got to love DragonCon.
That's not the script they are using. Latinoreview posted a recent review of the newest script and fell in love with it. BUT Paramount made them remove the review.
I don't know. I'm kinda going back and forth on this now.
1) Love Ray as Snake Eyes! No doubt about that.
BUT...
2) not too keen on the formed lower face portion of the face mask of Snake Eyes. BUT maybe they put the formed mouth part in so Ray could BREATHE in the costume. So, I'm not going to complain too much. That's really the only problem I had with him.
3) the others look too much like Snake Eyes. ALL BLACK!! NOBODY ELSE should be wearing black except SNAKE EYES!!!
4) Storm Shadow looks like he came straight out of The Matrix!!!
5) the GOOD guys should have the cool costumes! NOT the BAD GUYS!!
And I've heard that tis film is going to be a bit on the "campy" side. Oh well. I guess if they are going to try to gain a whole new audience and fan base for GI Joe, then they might as well try to appeal to the young ones with tons of loud explosions and fighting.As well as the campy humor.
looked at these pics and screamed!! The promo shots were awesome, but Snake Eyes looks like the FF Thing! Hope its only stunt padding.

If I remember correctly though, there was at least one episode in the original cartoon early on where Cover Girl did have blonde hair. Check it out.
