Win Your Custom G.I. JOE Figure from Hasbro – buildagijoe.com

If you’d give an arm or a leg to have Hasbro make a G.I. JOE figure of your own creation, then you should check out this promotion for the G.I. JOE: Retaliation movie. Visit buildagijoe.com and you can design your own character and give him or her a name and specialty – then submit. Hasbro will pick one submission at random and send the winner a customized figure based on their design. Five runners-up will win a Blu-Ray of the G.I. JOE: Retaliation movie.

Only one entry per email address is allowed. So I will need to choose between Bedtime Cobra Commander, Mistress Badonkadonk, and Mullet McGee. Who would be your pick?

Still no word on the Silver Centurion, but I’m so sure it’s coming that I’ll drop my Hot Toys Iron Monger on my foot if they don’t.
