Who Wants To Play ‘G.I. Joes’ With Channing Tatum?
Soon you'll be able to get your hands on Duke, Hawk, The Baroness and more!

New G.I. Joe action figures, based on the upcoming live action flick G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra, will be unveiled at the New York Toy Fair happening next week but here are a few preview photos to share with all y’all that show what the dolls action figures based on Sgt. Duke Hauser (Channing Tatum), Cobra operative The Baroness (Sienna Miller) and G.I. Joe leader General Hawk (Dennis Quaid) will look like:


He may be engaged, but ladies looking to get their hands on Channing Tatum can now take the hard-bodied hunk home with them. Tatum is one of five G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra stars to have a Hasbro action figure modeled in his likeness, alongside Sienna Miller and Dennis Quaid. Joining a long list of celeb action figures before them, Tatum’s “Duke,” Miller’s “The Baroness” and Quaid’s “General Hawk” will be revealed at Toy Fair from February 15-18 in New York.

Er, of these three toys — only Channing Tatum‘s Duke looks nothing like him (well, there is some resemblance but really the toy just looks like a meat head … oh wait). The Baroness and General Hawk look very much like Sienna Miller and Dennis Quaid. It’s unclear, from just these photos, how big the action figures are. I’m from the ’80s generation when the action figures were small and I hope that these new toys are the same size. I was never a fan of the larger, ’60s version of G.I. Joes which were bigger than Barbie size. Tho, I can see the appeal for some folks to want their Channing Tatum dolls to be as big as possible … for whatever reason :) In any event, all this G.I. Joe talk is really taking me back to my youth. I used to *love* playing G.I. Joes. Sigh. Good times. I really hope this new movie doesn’t ruin my fond childhood memories. What do ya’ll think … would any of you like to play with a Channing Tatum doll?

    When I was younger, my BFF was a boy that lived on my street..I would bust out my Barbies and he would bust out his G.I. Joes and we would play for hours..Watching Barbie do G.I. Joe was a bit of a turn on for us..

    General Hawk looks JUST like Dennis Quaid! They did a great job with his!

    Would love to play with the real Channing. I’m a pretty normal person, but if ever there was someone that is so hot that it would be tempting to catch them and keep them… it would be him. But that doll is awful. The face looks like the Mike Myers mask from the Halloween movies. It appears monotone and larger than the head its attached to. It is freaky looking! The industry has been making dolls with plastics for fifty years or more, right, so where the Hell is some better and perhaps slightly realistic-looking doll technology? A flat photo of a person on a plain cylinder ‘head’ would look better than that.

    Is it just me or does Sienna Miller’s doll also bear a striking resemblence to Michael Jackson circa the Black or White/ Scream era?! Anyone?!!

    Didn’t they bring back the larger than Barbie size G.I. Joes in the late 80′s/early 90′s? My brother had a few and Barbie chose G.I. Joe over Ken everytime. :) I think she liked the scar over his right eye. Chicks dig scars. heehee
