You may have noticed the little banner off to the left. I have posted a GeneralsJoes Holiday Buying Guide with links to my various sponsors as well as some links to Amazon and Sideshow Collectibles products that G.I. Joe fans might find interesting.
I’m open for any other ideas, so please let me know if there is anything you’d like listed here.
I don’t think the pictures even do this thing justice…. I talked about Assembly Required from the Codename: Iowa guys last week, and one of the showcases of that even was, without a doubt, the diorama by customizer/genius AVAC. He’s famous for his HISS Tank themed and construction vehicle themed customs, but this diorama set totally goes above and beyond. It’s simply spectacular.
These images were featured on HissTank.com, and the video was shared by the Codename: Iowa Facebook page that really shows the size, scale, and scope of this amazing diorama.
All I can say is I wanna play with this thing! Just imagine the dio-story potential here… wow.
Check out the images and the embedded video below. I think this qualifies as a Kick Ass Custom, to be sure.

Don’t forget you can also hit up the Codename: Iowa Goodsmiths store and pick up some of the great exclusive pieces they had for sale at the show.
The Target: Snake Eyes event continues, which looks to wrap up the current iteration of the IDW G.I. Joe edition until 2013. There will likely be a final wrap up, but somewhat ominously, when new writer Fred Van Lente was asked where Snake Eyes was in the next step of IDW’s G.I. Joe evolution, he simply said “Read Snake Eyes’ book“.
So, what do you think, kids? Something drastic coming? Check out the preview below as we hurdle closer to a potential universe-defining event in Target: Snake Eyes!

Bullet points:
The 2013 G.I. Joe: Retaliation calendar went on sale last week, and GeneralsJoes has received it in the mail! While all of the months images have been revealed in the past, I’ve got some much larger images presented in this post. The character selection is odd to say the least with no Duke or Flint, but we did get Mouse, Clutch, and the mysterious “Special Ops”.
Many of us were wondering who this “Special Ops” character was, and I believe I’ve got the answer. One look at this image and it certainly seems to be Ryan Hansen underneath the camouflage body armor. Hansen was previously rumored to be playing Grunt in G.I. Joe: Retaliation, so either the Grunt character got re-named (which isn’t a surprise, I seem to remember there being some trademark issues with the generic “Grunt” code name) or they just decided to use this “Special Ops” moniker as a way around it.
Regardless, I’ve mirrored a number of the month images below, including the aforementioned Special Ops, Mouse (played by Joseph Mazzello) and Clutch (reportedly played by Jim Palmer, according to IMDB).

The next evolution of G.I. Joe comics is upon us, and the solicitations for February, 2013 reflect this new shift. With no new monthly Cobra or Snake Eyes titles, the IDW universe officially moves on to 2013 and beyond with the first issues of Special Missions and the Cobra Files hitting in March and April respectively.
Check out what we can expect from the new G.I. Joe #1 as well as G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #187 after the jump.
