by generalsjoes | Jun 10, 2014 | Boss Fight Studio, G.I. Joe, G.I. Joe: Renegades
I know, I know… I’ve already got a banner up above and a widget over to the left, but what can I say? I believe in the Boss Fight Studio folks’ and their product, and want to support it any way I can.
And, as a diehard G.I. Joe: Renegades fan, I’ve come across another reason to be excited as well. Buried within one of the stretch goals are a number of “blanks”. Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. figures with no armor, accessories, or extraneous details, perfect for customizers to build upon. Or if you’re a G.I. Joe: Renegades fan…

Check out the “Bio Blue” blank figure above, and tell me that wouldn’t be a great base for a Cobra “Bio-Viper”. In the G.I. Joe: Renegades animated series, the Bio-Vipers were insidious Cobra experiments. With the transparent blue color the blank figure above looks like an awesome template for those Bio-Vipers. The Wave 3 Blank Bodies are available with the $210,000 level stretch goal, which seems like a long way away, but it’ll hopefully come up closer than we think. Already Boss Fight is nearly halfway there, and still 31 days to go!
Support the Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. Kickstarter campaign!

A good way to start the week! The G.I. Joe Collectors Club has revealed a first look at the FSS 3.0 Muskrat. Using the same parts recipe as the Night Force version, but in more traditional colors, we’re also getting some nice accessory adjustments here, even including a brand new swamp skimmer!
Muskrat was one of my favorite figures with the Nocturnal Fire set, I’m psyched to see him here in the same colors as the ’88 version. Well done, Club! Check out GIJoeClub.com for the latest and greatest FSS news, and I’ve mirrored the image below.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I LOVE that swamp skimmer! Looks like a nice, brand spanking new update to the original, complete with a handle to go with the foot peg. Really awesome.

I knew when I did the layout for Episode 10, it would be a quick one, so with the titles being part of the same concept, I elected to do a “two for one” update today. Also, it celebrates the fact that as of this weekend I have finished principle photography on the Darkness Falls story!
Still a mountain of Photoshop, dialogue, and polish, but the raw photographs themselves are finished. It’s been a long road, but I’m very excited that the time has finally come to share this story that’s been brewing in my head for a few years now. Hopefully it lives up to the hype. Check out my Darkness Falls section, or click the links below for the latest two episodes.

A regular feature on Comic Book Resources is “Comics Should be Good” where they take input from readers and create an article out of it. This week, we got “The Line it is Drawn #193 – G.I. Joe Mash Ups“!
These great G.I. Joe homages feature familiar Joe and Cobra characters going toe-to-toe with other comic heroes and villains with some great results.
Check out the article right here, I’ve mirrored one of the images below.

With a sale date list of August 13th, items from the G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary line have started showing up on ToysRUs.com.

Scroll all the way to the bottom of this page to check it out and get your orders in!

Ever since the Night Force set was revealed a few years ago, fans had been clamoring online for regular versions of the Night Force characters (which is why it seems so strange that many folks are complaining about that very thing happening with the FSS this time around).
One of those characters was Psyche Out.
Well, the Club has revealed the FSS 3.0 Psyche Out today, and he’s a bit different accessory-wise from the Night Force version. He still has the wrist radars and the hand-held, but he no longer has the PoC Recondo backpack (which frankly was a fantastic touch by the Club for the Con version) and he comes with a Zartan backpack instead.
Keep watching GIJoeClub.com for the latest updates and check out the image below.

If you’re in or around the Kokomo, Indiana area, you may want to make a bee line for Kokomo Toys this weekend as there will be a special two day event showing some rare and prototype toys from your favorite toylines of the past several years.
Details can be seen on the Kokomo Toys Facebook page or below:
Kokomo Toys will be hosting a special 2 day event at our new location, Friday June 6th and Saturday June 7th, where on display will be some of the rarest action figures and prototypes from across several toy lines (Toy Biz, Marvel Legends,
GI Joe, Battle Beasts, Dungeons & Dragons, Sun-Man, Thundercats, He-Man, and more) including a Mad Bubbler prototype (Thundercats) and the FIRST 3 3/4 inch GI Joe prototype. Come see these amazing toy collecting artifacts in person!!
In attendance will be Gyre-Viper (GI JOE historian and co-host of the Joe Declassified Podcast) and Josh Carlson (multi-toy line expert and author of Roshan’s Guide to Marvel Legends). They will be on-hand to talk about toy collecting and toy history, including everything from the pre-production process of action figures to obscure knock-off toy lines and unproduced, unreleased toys.
Everyone who attends will be entered into a raffle for a chance to win Kokomo Toys gift certificates. Come hang out Friday June 6th and Saturday June 7th, and celebrate the joys of toy collecting with us!!

There are only fringes of these videos that deal directly with G.I. Joe, but any kind of “behind the scenes” perspective when it comes to toy making is pretty interesting. These are no different.
The folks at Sideshow Collectibles were interviewed by Tested.com and a pair of very revealing videos were released showing those interviews. A great look at pre-production design, and preparing something for production. These two videos focus on the Premium Format figures specifically, so expect to see some Crimson Baroness cameos. Check out the videos on SideshowToy.com or embedded below.
