I’ve been checking the site at least once or twice a week to see when they posted this, but Troy discovered it today and posted it on the G.I. Joe Discussion Group on Facebook. I posted very excitedly about the Kindle Worlds prospect about a month or so back, and the past four weeks have done little to muffle that excitement.
Now, on the Kindle Worlds Blog, they have posted their “World Content Guidelines” to submit G.I. Joe oriented stories to the Kindle World format.
Kindle World is a revolutionary new licensing agreement where authors can write stories based on existing properties and sell them through the Kindle Worlds store on Amazon, keeping a share of the money earned by their sale. The full details can be read on my previous post about this initiative.

Big thanks to fellow What’s on Joe Mind cohost Chuck for letting me know that ToysRUs.com has some of the new Kre-O sets listed for sale online!
No images are posted as of yet, but they’ve listed the Outpost Defender and “Firebat Attack” sets for sale. Obviously I wouldn’t recommend grabbing any blind bags, just because I have no idea what assortment they’re from. Plus, there’s free shipping for all orders over $49, so after you get these two sets, if you spend another 6 bucks, you get free shipping. Check out the links below:

It’s been a bit of a break since we posted our last episode, and it seems like the world of G.I. Joe has turned inside out and backwards since then. Excitement about Toy Fair blitzed the online community, only to be defused by the rumor that Hasbro will not be in attendance at JoeCon, and an underlying uncertainty about the future of our favorite brand. We also had a chat with none other than BJ Ward, the voice of Scarlett from the Sunbow animated series!
Well, to celebrate the sure fire collapse of all toy related patriotism, Gary took a strike from the show and is absent from Episode 90. Actually, Chuck is, too, but we figured that was more due to laziness.
However, Mike and Justin called in the reserves as Dave from Toy World Order and the immortal Erik Arana from Boss Fight Studio joined us on the program! Check out the latest episode on Podbean or embedded below, and hit up the Show Notes after the jump.

No, this isn’t G.I. Joe news specifically, but you’ll have to bear with me when it comes to Boss Fight Studio, expect me to be thoroughly promoting the work they’re doing. It’s well deserved.
Over on BossFightStudio.com, the crew has posted a series of new images of their first prototype figure, and these images have revealed a few more details about the potential construction of the figure:
As you can see there, the figure promises to maintain a very high level of articulation, and there are certainly some interesting new joints there on the inner thigh. Also, at least near the bottom portion of the torso, there appears to be a back screw! It’s still unknown exactly how much this screw will allow for disassembly, but the fact that one is there must be lighting a fire under the customizers out there.
Keep watching BossFightStudio.com for the latest updates on their product, from the looks of things, there will be stuff that many G.I. Joe collectors will be interested in, even if Greek Mythology ain’t your thing. The custom possibilities alone are amazing.
