So the Marauder “Task Force” Kickstarter is already funded, which means our jobs are done, right?
Wrong!
There are a ton of great stretch goals on the Kickstarter, and my personal favorite (Carmen) still has a ways to go before funding is reached. Marauder has also been fielding a number of questions about the accessory pack outs and details about the figures, but unfortunately Kickstarter only allows so many images to be posted.
Because of this, Marauder has created a fantastically massive Facebook Photo Album to share nearly EIGHTY images of his Task Force soldiers. All sorts of great combinations of figures, accessories, vests, weapons, helmets, etc… are there for your consumption.
If you haven’t funded yet, these images might just change your mind! Check them out at the Marauder “Gun Runners” Facebook Page, and I’ve mirrored just a few of them below.
Then, for crying out loud, if you haven’t done it yet, GO FUND THE KICKSTARTER!

For folks looking to bone up on their UK G.I. Joe knowledge or just get into the G.I. Joe spirit leading up to “JoeCon Week”, the latest episode of the Full Force podcast is now online!
In this ‘better late than never’ episode, the gang chat about (old) news, review a very ‘cool’ figure, look at a related item in ‘From the Vault’ and get Erik Arana from Boss Fight Studios to build a version of said ‘cool’ figure himself. It is a packed episode full of the usual toilet humour and genius insight that one finds hard to get elsewhere. Open your ear trumpets and get ready to be blown……….away!! FULL FORCE!!
Check it out on Podbean.com and make sure you’re checking the Full Force on Facebook for their show notes and some great photos from the episode!

Over the past several weeks we’ve been inundated with news and reports about the NBC sitcom Community doing a special “G.I. Jeff” animated episode in the spirit of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero.
Well, I’d say anyone who saw the episode last night would take it one step further… it wasn’t just “in the spirit”, it was designed to essentially BE a G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero episode. Obviously the folks at Community had to get permission from Hasbro to run with this to the degree that they did (check out a great IGN interview with Dan Harmon for some of those tidbits).

I mentioned in my last news post that time spent on the dio-story had taken some time away from reviews, but all that time is about to pay off!
Ten days from today, Sunday, April 14th, my latest Dio-Story will begin! Picking up right where Ghosts left off, with Cobra on the precipice of executing Operation: Eclipse, G.I. Joe has been pushed to their breaking point. Mustering up all their resources, the team launches one last offensive against Cobra’s secret Amazon headquarters!
This is the largest scale dio-story I have ever done, and I feel like it’s a satisfying end to my little corner of the G.I. Joe universe. I hope others will feel the same way after all is said and done.
Check out the teaser on YouTube, and you should play some catch up with my previous dio-stories as well! You can also hit up my Dio-Story updates on the site itself, which will show some set building, etc…
Thanks for all of the support throughout my long walk down this road, I hope the destination ends up as fun as the ride has been.
