We’re still in vehicle mode at the review desk here at GeneralsJoes, but we’ve gone up in scale! Graduating from the Bravo level Tread Ripper tank from yesterday, today we jump into the Delta class with the Ninja Combat Cruiser! Or if you choose to burn all of the Arashikage symbols instead of applying them, I suppose it could just be the “Combat Cruiser”.

Pushing on, closer and closer to March 29th, and Twitziller continues his own brand of countdown! The next reason to look forward to G.I. Joe: Retaliation has been Tweeted!

It may sound funny, but there’s something about a rappelling assault that I really love. The adrenaline rush in any military TV show or movie as the special operations troops come flying down their ziplines, unhooking their weapons and preparing to kick ass is unmatched. I love that whole atmosphere. Obviously most of the G.I. Joe: Retaliation “zipline” play features are built around the high altitude ninja mountain combat sequence, but speaking as someone who just got the Tactical Ninja 3-Pack with Agent Mouse, this concept is pretty neat as well. Who didn’t love swinging their action figures by strings as a kid?! I know I did. Pretty cool to see director Jon Chu still playing with that mindset, just on a larger stage.
Keep checking Twitziller on Twitter and GeneralsJoes for the latest reasons to look forward to G.I. Joe: Retaliation, and check out the previous entries below.

So over the past 2 weeks I’ve been maintaining my “one review a day” grind as we work down the “Road to Retaliation”! Well, after yesterday, I kind of had an issue. I’d posted reviews of every single pack G.I. Joe: Retaliation figure released to date!
Have no fear… now we have vehicles! I’ll be covering the Tread Ripper today and the Ninja Combat Cruiser tomorrow, and then dipping back into the figures as we examine the Wave 2 3-Packs! Plenty of material still left on the table. Check out the latest review on my G.I. Joe: Retaliation Review Page, or the direct link below.

Having missed the first edition of Ladies Night, I’ll be honest…I wasn’t sure what to expect with Ladie’s Night Part 2. Even with Chuck chickening out having a family issue to deal with the show was an absolute blast. The ladies rocked it out.
No real show notes this time around, just hit up Podbean for the latest episode, or check out the embedded players below!
By popular demand, it’s back! It’s Ladies Night II!! The WOJM crew assemble a panel of female collectors and wives of collectors to talk to us about their collecting, relationships AND answer your questions that you’ve sent in. Rejoining us again in 2013 is Gary’s wife Debbie and Mo from Moderately Geeky. New to the panel is the co-host of the Open Your Toys Cast, Mrs. McFavorite and the owner of our sponsor, Kokomo Toys, Amber. This was one of our most popular episodes of 2012 and included the infamous Chuck meltdown that you voted on as your most favorite Chuck Moment of 2012. If you missed it or never heard it, you need to hear it here first! There isn’t much Joe discussed here and because of the nature of the program and how we know each other, there are a lot of inside and running jokes. Bear with us, because the info contained herein is some good stuff. It’s the one night we sort of relax and let the show be about the ladies and lots of fun. There is no Chuck this year, but we have some flavor in the second half with our own Herb and spices added. So suck in that gut gentlemen, comb your hair and tuck in your shirt because the ladies are joining us tonight!

It’s been going on for 8 days straight, and there’s no break in sight. Over on Twitter, the already immortal Twitziller brings us the latest entry in his “40 Reasons G.I. Joe: Retaliation will be great” campaign! This time around, he puts the crosshairs on another vehicle from the G.I. Joe sequel…
#32:
This has been a piece of the G.I. Joe: Retaliation trailers that has been somewhat glossed over. While a lot of folks are focusing on the HISS, Water Moccasin, and Ripsaw, a quietly powerful looking helicopter has been swooping over the skyline. As Cobra Commander’s personal transport copter (or so it appears) this vehicle is simultaneously “real world” Little Bird and Skyhawk influenced. I love how Twitziller is calling back to helicopters peppered throughout Cobra history. He’s exactly right. The FANG was of course a mainstay of the Cobra airforce, while the Mamba has seen new life in recent IDW comic books as Cobra’s main attack craft. The Transport Copter is infamous throughout Marvel Comics as well. On a day that comes about two weeks after Hasbro announced the release of the upcoming Eaglehawk, it seems quite apt to talk up the merits of rotor-based aircraft in connection to the upcoming film.
