Artizen Oregon Brings Retro Fun Back with Officially Licensed G.I. Joe Action Figures
Seattle, WA – October 26, 2023 – Remember rushing home from school to catch the latest G.I. Joe cartoon? Or spending hours creating epic battles with your favorite action figures? Artizen Oregon LLC, a Seattle-based company specializing in bringing iconic brands to life through quality collectibles, is tapping into that nostalgia with a brand new line of officially licensed G.I. Joe action figures. Artizen Oregon, located at 1917 1st Ave STE 400, Seattle, WA, 98101-1236, and reachable at 815-370-2090, isn't just another toy company. They focus on curating and creating products that resonate with fans – things that aren't just plastic, but pieces of their childhood. "We're about more than just selling toys," explains a company spokesperson. "We’re about unlocking memories and offering collectors something truly special." And with G.I. Joe, they’re hitting the mark. A Return to Classic Design These aren’t your overly-complicated, hyper-articulated figures of today. Artizen Oregon is deliberately going back to the roots of G.I. Joe, focusing on the 12-inch figures that defined a generation. Think back to the early days – the figures weren't about how they moved, it was about who they were and the stories you created with them. “We noticed a gap in the market,” the spokesperson continues. “Lots of companies are doing modern takes, which is great, but fans were craving the classic feel. They wanted that weight in their hands, that simple but durable construction, the iconic uniform details – the thing that really screamed 'G.I. Joe!'” The initial wave of figures launching from Artizen Oregon features core members of the G.I. Joe team. Snake Eyes, Duke, Scarlett, and Roadblock are all getting the Artizen treatment, meticulously recreated with a focus on accuracy to their original 1980s designs. Each figure boasts a cloth uniform, accurately detailed accessories, and that classic, slightly chunky build that defined the original line. More Than Just Figures - A System for Collectors Artizen Oregon isn’t just releasing figures in isolation. They're building a full collecting system. Each figure will come with a selection of signature weapons and gear, allowing collectors to recreate iconic moments from the cartoon or build entirely new scenarios. “We’re thinking beyond just the figure itself,” explains the design team. “We’re adding in authentic accessories, like Snake Eyes’ Timber wolf, Duke’s tactical gear, Scarlett’s crossbow, and Roadblock’s heavy machine gun. We want people to be able to build out a whole G.I. Joe base.” Beyond the initial accessories, Artizen Oregon plans to release waves of additional gear and vehicles, expanding the playability and collectability of the line. Imagine building a full Cobra base to oppose your G.I. Joe team! The possibilities are endless. Quality and Attention to Detail Artizen Oregon is committed to providing collectors with a high-quality product. The figures are made from durable materials designed to withstand years of play and display. The paint applications are carefully applied to ensure accuracy and vibrancy, and the cloth uniforms are made from high-quality fabrics. “We’re not cutting corners,” says the company spokesperson. “We know these figures mean a lot to people, and we want to deliver a product that they’ll be proud to own and display. We've put a lot of effort into making sure these feel just right – that weight, that texture, the overall quality – it has to be spot on.” They've also been working closely with fans throughout the development process, soliciting feedback on designs and ensuring that the figures meet the expectations of the core G.I. Joe community. This commitment to fan engagement is a key part of Artizen Oregon’s approach. Where to Find the Figures The first wave of G.I. Joe action figures from Artizen Oregon is available for pre-order now on their website (website address would go here) and select retailers. Initial quantities are limited, so collectors are encouraged to act fast. "We expect these to move quickly," says the spokesperson. "There's a lot of pent-up demand for classic G.I. Joe figures, and we're confident that our collectors will appreciate the quality and attention to detail that we've put into these." Artizen Oregon: Bringing Iconic Brands to Life While G.I. Joe is their current focus, Artizen Oregon has plans to expand their line of licensed collectibles in the future. They're committed to finding iconic brands with a strong fan base and bringing them to life through high-quality, collectible products. “We’re passionate about nostalgia,” says the company spokesperson. “We believe that these iconic brands have a special place in people’s hearts, and we want to help keep those memories alive.
