While the original G. I. Joe animated series and comic book gave us all the Joes that many of us know, the second series introduced a whole new wave of characters for a new generation of fans. My favorite has to be the COBRA agent Gnawgahyde, just for the name alone! Anyway, that second series is coming to DVD, starting with Season One on January 10. Below is the press release from SHOUT! Factory and you can pre-order your set right now by clicking the cover art (by doing so you will be helping to support Pop Culture Zoo)!

The incredible adventures of GENERAL HAWK, SGT. SLAUGHTER and their international team of heroes — known as G.I. JOE — continue! Together they defend the globe against COBRA, a ruthless organization led by COBRA COMMANDER, who is determined to conquer the world by any means necessary.
On January 10, 2012, Shout! Factory, in collaboration with Hasbro, will unleash the G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero Series 2, Season 1 on DVD. This collectible 4-DVD set contains the entire 24 episodes from the complete first season, including the 5-part miniseries Operation Dragonfire. A must-have for heroes of all ages, G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero Series 2, Season 1 DVD set arrives in stores everywhere and is priced to own at $29.93 SRP.
In 1989, SGT. SLAUGHTER once again returned to battle against COBRA and DESTRO in the 5-part miniseries Operation Dragonfire; and the popular second series began airing thereafter. Loyal G.I. JOE fans and kids were also introduced to a group of new G.I. JOE heroes – CAPTAIN GRID-IRON, AMBUSH, PATHFINDER and villains – SERPENTOR, CESSPOOL, METAL-HEAD, GNAWGAHYDE, as well as new VIPER troops.
Now you can relive the adventures of second series of G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero from the beginning, including the miniseries that started it all — Operation Dragonfire!
