Just an update on the funding request for the Girls of “The Finest” a G.I. Joe themed cosplay project to support Wounded Warriors!
100% of the funds support the Wounded Warriors charity, and they’re less than $2,000 away from their goal. Support this terrific charity, and get yourself a cool collectible calendar while you’re at it! Check out the following message from The Finest:
Hello Everyone!
We are 78% funded!
With 24 days left to fund the 2015 Girls of the Finest Calendar we are so close to meeting the goal!
We cannot put into words how exciting this is! Thank you so much to everyone who has shared, tweeted, or funded the project so far! WE CANNOT do it without YOU Guys! So far we have raised over $5000 dollars, which is AMAZING!!!!, but we still need to meet the $7500 dollars to meet the goal, or everyone will get their money back the calendar and perks will not be made AND most importantly we will not be able to give back to real heroes.
Over the next 3 weeks please consider again or for the first time talking about, sharing, tweeting, or helping fund calendar! Click the link so support the campaign/use the link to spread the word: http://igg.me/p/666751/x/6207072
We even have Cobra Commander promoting us. Check it out:

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.
