A short while ago, we had reported that Shapeways 3D Printing system and Hasbro had joined forces to create SuperFanArt, focusing primarily on the My Little Pony brand. Well, SuperFanArt has officially expanded the Shapeways/Hasbro partnership to many other brands, including G.I. Joe!
Check out the details on Shapeways.com, and if you’ve got some 3D Printing and Designing skills, now is the time to take advantage!
I’ve already covered a couple of the selections from the G.I. Joe: 50th Anniversary 3-Packs (namely Leatherneck and Destro) thanks to some early samples, but now that these have hit retail, I’ve filled in the holes.
Check out the G.I. Joe: 50th Anniversary Review Page, or click the links below to check them out!
At least partly.
The majority of the images and details for November’s G.I. Joe releases has been revealed by IDW Publishing, though they didn’t post the retail cover for G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #208 and I don’t see anything for Transformers vs. G.I. Joe.
As for the rest of it, check out the list below… in spite of myself, I’m getting excited for the next new iteration of the main G.I. Joe title, and of course, Real American Hero continues to blow me away. Click the “Continue Reading” link to check out the full solicitation list.
I think this news has been floating out there for a little while, but over on Hallmark’s Corporate website, they have announced a special edition G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary Christmas ornament for 2014. According to Hallmark, the ornament will be $19.95 and will be available in limited quantities exclusively at Gold Crown stores during their ornament debut starting October 4th.
The ornament is what looks to be an old school vintage G.I. Joe 12″ Action Soldier in an open wood grain box. Pretty neat looking. Check out the image below. Big thanks to YoJoe contributor notpicard for the info!
For folks who haven’t been following along on Facebook, a couple of enterprising G.I. Joe fans have been working on a great guide for the G.I. Joe: Retaliation toyline entitled “Total Retaliation“. The book will focus on the toys with the G.I. Joe: Retaliation theme. As we all know, there were some fantastic action figures and vehicles under the Retaliation banner, pulling from all era’s and generations of G.I. Joe. Total Retaliation features figures, file cards, and some incredible looking diorama shots.
Over on their Facebook Page, the Total Retaliation creators have been posting a ton of fantastic “in progress” shots featuring their page layouts, diorama snippets and other great tidbits of information.
We’ve just learned that the Total Retaliation book will debut at Roll Out Roll Call in Southampton, England on October 11th and 12th! Featuring an exclusive cover and some great incentives, this will be our first opportunity to purchase a physical copy of the Total Retaliation book. I’d imagine they’ll go on sale shortly thereafter.
Keep up with the latest news on Total Retaliation on their Facebook Page, and make sure you’re staying up to date with Roll Out Roll Call, too, as they celebrate 50 years of G.I. Joe and 30 years of Transformers on October 11th and 12th at the Jury’s Inn in Southampton, UK! All of those details can be found right here. Check out some of the great images from Total Retaliation below.
Yes, the recording schedule has been a bit hap hazard, especially with no real news to talk about, but that’s changed over the past few weeks as the news for G.I. Joe has had a resurgence, especially with the 50th Anniversary line being released to retail! We also talk about our favorite Marvel Comics Covers and talk Coil Con.
Not only that, but we talk to Carson of 3D Joes about his exciting 3D Joes Poster Kickstarter Campaign!
Check out our Podbean Page or the embedded player below for the latest episode and the Show Notes are after the jump.
When we last saw the ECO Force their were clearing the Cobra R & D sector, and thought they were free and clear…but I think we all know differently. The G.I. Joe team comes face to face with one of the strangest foes they’ve ever faced!
Meanwhile are there some cracks in the Cobra foundation? A trusted Cobra ally seems to have his own nefarious plans…

I know they’re not the most exciting subject matter because they’re essentially re-releases of past figures, but for the sake of thoroughness, I wanted to cover it all.

I apologize, I’ve been away with family the past few days, so I haven’t been able to give much advanced notice, but for folks in the New Jersey or Philadelphia area, you may want to consider swinging by the New Jersey Collectors Con (NJCC) today!
There are many great door prizes as well as special guests Aaron Archer, Mark Bellomo, and Boss Fight Studios! Rumor has it the folks from Boss Fight may even be showing off something new and interesting today. I was able to attend this show earlier this year and it was a ton of fun! I recommend anyone in the area (or even outside the area…it was a 6 hour drive for me) check it out. A great sales floor, some great guests, and a very well run show.
Check out the full details at their Facebook page and check out an image of Kevin Watts terrific custom Night Viper HISS Tank which is one of the door prizes.
Anyone who is in attendance and sees what Boss Fight Studios is showing off, please report back, I’d love to hear more about it.
