Less than 36 short hours are left in the Eagle Force Returns Kickstarter and it sits now at $176,000 which is a fantastic amount, but still leaving some of the stretch goals on the table.
Take one last look, now’s the time to get in on the ground floor! I can tell you there are some fun things in the works for Eagle Force, and it all starts right here.

Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines! Three weeks before the announced November, 2016 release timeline, Ryan over on the G.I. Joe Discussion Group on Facebook has found the first indications of the 2016 G.I. Joe line. Featured in his image is the Heavy Duty/Stiletto and Zombie Viper two packs.
Pretty exciting to see new G.I. Joe product on the shelves again, so let’s do our part to remove them from the shelves, shall we? Go get ’em!

As we get towards the finish line of the Eagle Force Returns Kickstarter Campaign, Fresh Monkey Fiction has announced the early unlocking of the Grimm Reaper Troopers! That puts this figure as part of the All In package as well as able to be purchased as an army builder 4-Pack! It’s an excellent looking trooper with a really cool backstory to boot.
Also, details will be coming soon on a contest for a R.I.O.T. Hideout playset.
Let’s finish this thing strong, folks! Come on, only 2 weeks left and a lotta stretch goals still to go.

As of late last night/early this morning, the awesome looking Eagle Force Kickstarter has been successfully funded! BOOSH.
I am thrilled to see that things are moving forward here, but I can’t help but scroll down and check out those stretch goals that are still hovering out there. Characters like Ultima Thule and Redwing… fantastic troopers like the Grimm Reapers and Arctic Troopers.
So much cool stuff to still unlock, let’s keep hammering at this!
Yes, I’m being selfish. I wrote many of the bio’s for these characters and I want to see them brought to life in plastic. Help me support my dream! Bill, Craig, Joe and many others have put together a terrific assortment of great individual characters who not only carry the nostalgia from the 80s, but are really fun modern military figures as well.
Recently new additions have been revealed, such as the Goldie Hawks…
Join me in supporting Eagle Force on Kickstarter so we can open up the world of Eagle Force to collectors everywhere.

It started off as strange, obscure hints several months ago…a Revolution was coming. Then word came out and things really heated up with lots of discussion revolving around this big combined Hasbro universe event bringing together diverse brands into one cohesive world.
So it’s official… the Revolution has arrived. It started with Rom and with Revolution #1 this month (though technically the prelude kicked it off a couple of weeks ago). So was it worth the wait? Is it an event worthy of the Revolution title?
Read below to find out, though fair warning – Spoilers are aplenty!

Revolution #1 has been released and a couple of the excellent variant covers have been produced by Adam Riches, who is well known to G.I. Joe fans as one of the artists of the Figure Subscription Service cardbacks.
He has done a couple of fantastic variant covers, and he has listed some of his original art on eBay
. One of the auctions is the Optimus Prime/Scarlett action figure cover and it looks really great.
Any G.I. Joe or Transformers fan should check out his listings on eBay
now and get these great pieces while the getting is good.
