SHOUT! Factory to Release Complete GI Joe Animated DVDs

It was recently revealed that SHOUT! Factory would be releasing G.I. Joe – Season 1, Volume 1 DVDs, but they also unofficially announced a release of the complete G.I. Joe animated series to DVD in the coming months.

This information is from the SHOUT! Factory forum on the GI Joe release.

Forum member B Ward reveals:

There isn’t much I can say that’s different here, although I will say that the original masters looked considerably better than those of Transformers. And, unlike Rhino, we will be completing the series. In one fell swoop, in fact. No, I can’t go into even the vaguest of details about when, but I can say "soon." We’re already working up a press release, so it’s THAT soon.

We will have featurettes, like the ones on Transformers. We will have the designers, the producers, the writers, the voice cast, PSAs, toy commercials and more. As soon as I’m allowed, I’ll go into more detail.

Oh, and to answer the questions about running times and how many episodes, etc… We are not moving into the DiC Entertainment years, only Sunbow. We have a pretty good relationship with the company once known as DiC, but have no real relationship with Cookie Jar, so it’s not really as simple as giving ‘em a call. Doesn’t mean it’ll never happen. But it does mean that the DiC incarnation of the series will not be included in our complete series set, nor will we be working on those season sets anytime soon.

In addition, G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero – Season 1.1 will include both original miniseries.

That news is about as good as it gets.
