Shout Factory will be releasing the final season of the 80's G.I.Joe animated series on DVD this January. For those unfamiliar with these, the episodes took place after the G.I.Joe Animated movie. If you ever wondered the final fate of Cobra Commander after being turned into a snake then you may want to check these out. The episodes were produced by DiC who took over doing the cartoon from Sunbow. Most of the voice actors who had voiced the characters in the Subbow episodes had been repalced and the overall tone of the cartoon changed drastically. The episodes are considered the ugly step-child of the G.I.Joe Universe by many fans, but still it is a piece of G.I.Joe history and the first time these episodes have been put out on DVD in an official capacity. Amazon has this 4-disc set up for pre-order now for $20.99 and they say it will be released on January 10, 2012.

Shout Factory also lets us know their will be some bonus material on this set. Final details are still being ironed out and we should hear more about that in the next week or so.
