[Xavieur@aol.com]

So as some of you know I focus on nothing and collect everything, but my niche is merchandise and art. So, from the movie what promotional items have we uncovered?

UNITED STATES Promo items:- Cobra logo black drink koozie
- Cobra logo iron on rectangular patches
- Cobra logo tattoo
- GIJOE Retaliation mini-movie poster on card (all of the above handed out by Cobra Special Forces crews and at events)
- Cobra Special Forces bus or subway posters (cobra logo on black, some large, "Do you have what it takes?"
- limited edition poster of cobra flag (100 copies given out in contests)
- Numerous posters of all sizes and shapes, only 6 official characters that I know of released, some with theater or IMAX branding others without; numerous banners including the largest 10 ft one of them as a group; Regal Cinemas contest poster
- Movie theater displays - 2 sizes of the GIJOE slash character standees and one rectangular 8' tall one of the Rock
- General Tires promotional poster, flyers
- Matco Tools unreleased promo dog tags, hat, poster, flyer and stickers
- some theatres had cups specially made, but not all (plastic)
- Regal Cinema premiere 2 sided poster (black and white on one side, logo and walmart on other)
- 3D RealD Glasses (standard) and more limited Cinemark "Snake Eyes" editions
- Crew items have included back packs, messenger bags, duffel bags,
- Cobra logo on grey tshirt

- GIJOE logo on black baseball hats (2 - one with release date and one just with GIJOE on back of hat)
- Retaliation and release date on black tshirt
- Retaliation and release date on black tshirt, with skull and bones on reverse
- Heinz ketchup and pickle relish in bottles
- Carl's Junior white cup with branding
- several other entities have had contests tied to the brand, but so far I have not found any special branded promo items tied to them (Special Ops watches for one)

- I will also throw out that Paramount even branded a race car for one event. BAR1 Motorsports had a 2013 Prototype ORECA Challenge cars in GIJOE livery or branded sponsorship (Car No. 7) but no merchandise or promo items associated with it were available.
