I for one have been pestering all of my buddies at Coil Con for some info about G.I. Joe: Initiate, which was shown there for the first time earlier today, but nobody was biting. Well, now Episode 1 can be seen by all. Action packed and in High Definition, I strongly recommend you find a way to view this on the big screen.
YouTube apps are available for Playstation 3, X-Box 360, Apple TV, etc… and I think watching this on a television screen only made it even cooler.
With Beachhead, Chuckles, and Major Bludd taking up most of the screen time of this first six minute episode, I find my mouth watering to see some more action. Looks like Episode Two will make me VERY happy.
Check out the first episode embedded below, I think you’ll enjoy it as much as I did. This is GREAT stuff. Again, check it out on your TV screen if you can. It’s worth it. Great work by everyone involved. As always, stay up to date on future episodes at GIJoeInitiate.com and on Facebook. I suspect they’ll be getting a lot of traffic starting now!
We’ve been talking about the G.I. Joe: Initiate fanfilm for a while now, throughout the entire Kickstarter campaign, up through their various character reveals, and now it would appear that production on Episode 1 is complete, and G.I. Joe: Initiate launches for the first time at Coil Con 2012 September 8th!
The film should hit YouTube very shortly thereafter, so hopefully for all of us, by this time next week we’ll have seen G.I. Joe: Initiate. Directed by Fred Doss, who has the distinction of being the victim of both Cobra (in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra) and the Decepticons (in the 2007 Transformers live action film) has a long and storied film background, and I’m excited to see him translate that into a high quality G.I. Joe fanfilm. Lots of military folks were involved in the making of this production, I cannot wait to see it.

As I said yesterday, Mysterious Stranger is officially pulling out all of the stops. Fresh off his great guest review of the 12″ Crimson Guard, we know see the Black Dragon and Ninja Viper 12″ figures! Being essentially re-decoes of the same figure, Stranger elected to combine both into a single review, but the pictures and words are still great. Check out my Sideshow Reviews section or hit up the link below.
With some apparent technical issues last night, the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club has offered a one-day extension on the Figure Subscription Service. The deadline to enter is TONIGHT at Midnight Central Time. DO NOT DELAY!
“Hello all you G.I. Joe Fans!
Since the server was set in the wrong time zone last night, we have turned the FSS back on. In order to help everyone who was last minute. I t will close for good on Thursday at MIDNIGHT EASTERN TIME.
We have to get our order to China so that they can start making them.
Thanks for your support!
Brian”
Meanwhile, the GI Joe Club has also posted another great “Did You Know” segment, this time featuring the awesome Iron Klaw! Check that out right here.
Over the past couple of weeks, Mysterious Stranger has been inundating my mailbox with guest reviews for Sideshow Collectibles products, but I haven’t had a chance to get them all posted yet. Figured now was as good a time as any to have a “Sideshow Collectibles Review Week”.
With the 12″ Crimson Guard hitting mailboxes just last week, I figured he was a good figure to start this week off with.
I cannot thank Mysterious Stranger enough for the time he’s taken with all of these images and reviews. It’s not a quick and easy task, so thanks to him for putting all of this work in. Be sure to stay glued to my Sideshow Collectibles review section, or hit the direct links as they come up:
