by generalsjoes | Dec 23, 2013 | G.I. Joe, G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero
One of the most inventive G.I. Joe themed sites over the past couple of years, 3DJoes set a lofty goal ahead of themselves. A goal to acquire and 3D scan every single vintage Real American Hero figure for their stunningly awesome 3D Joes gallery.
Well, it took a while, but the job is done, and 3DJoes announced via their Twitter page tonight that they have now completed the full run of ARAH figures from 1982 – 1994! This is an amazing accomplishment, so let’s all give the folks at 3DJoes some big props, and while you’re at it, support their site by picking up one of their posters. It’s a small way we can show our support and help offset the costs associated with the 3D image capture software.
Congrats to Carson and 3DJoes for this great accomplishment!

In what can only be described as a surprise, the third shipment of the G.I. Joe Collectors Club Figure Subscription Service has started hitting mailboxes across the United States.
Most folks believed that the shipments would likely continue after the holidays, but some lucky folks have gotten theirs early.
I will refrain from spoiling the surprise here, but you can find the answers you’re looking for at HISSTank.com.
I know I’ve been lax on posting reviews for these, but trust me, this will pick up. I’m hoping to get all six reviews posted before the end of the year. Look out for them!

Somewhat surprising to us, many folks have been asking if we could do a screening of the G.I. Joe: Retaliation film with our own commentary…well, since G.I. Joe news is so slow, we figured what better time than now! Join Gary, Justin, and Mike as they watch the entire G.I. Joe: Retaliation Extended Action Cut on Blu-Ray and give their thoughts and opinions throughout the entire film.
We tried to keep sports metaphors to a minimum, but no promises about childish humor.
