Anticipation for G. I. Joe: Retaliation, which is the sequel to 2009's hit G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, has been running high. Production stills and character posters for the main cast in the movie were released just last month, followed by its exclusive HD trailer.
The film was set to debut in theaters on June 29th, but in a surprising move, Paramount Pictures has announced that the release of G. I. Joe: Retaliation has been delayed and pushed back to March 29, 2013.
Commemorate the Release of ‘G.I. Joe: Retaliation’ on Blu-Ray by Creating Your Own G.I. Joe Character
So did you run out and pick up your G.I. Joe: Retaliation Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack yet?
What? You didn't? Because that movie kind of sucks?
Okay, fine. You're right. Buying G.I. Joe: Retaliation probably would be a mistake. Not as big a mistake as buying the first G.I. Joe movie—at least the sequel has The Rock and Bruce Willis—but a mistake nonetheless.
However, since you're not going to buy the movie, you might as well at least enter the G.I. Joe: Retaliation design-your-own-G.I. Joe sweepstakes. Not only do you get to create a G.I. Joe or Jane in your own image (just like God!), but if you submit your creation you just might win a custom, handmade Hasbro action figure of your G.I. Joe.
Seriously, this is a thing. And they're not even making you buy their stupid movie to enter the contest, which is awesome. So go ahead visit the contest site, then download your custom G.I. Joe character card and make it your Facebook profile pic, because that's what all the cool kids are doing.
