Wow, nothing like a terrible pun to liven your Monday work day, huh?
So what’s with the HALO drop joke? Only the fact that Episode 73 of What’s on Joe Mind features an interview with the indelible Khary Payton, the voice of Ripcord from G.I. Joe: Renegades! Fans of quality animation will probably also recognize him as being the voice of Aqualad from the excellent Young Justice animated series as well. I may have fanboyed over him a bit about that. Keep in mind this interview was done a few months ago, before news of Young Justice’s cancellation broke, so this was a topic we did not bring up.
We also have the full audio from Hasbro’s G.I. Joe presentation at Toy Fair! You’ll feel like you were sitting right in the auditorium, especially as Gary has a stroke when he sees the Kre-On Snow Job. Check out this latest episode on our Podbean page, or also embedded below. As always, the show notes are after the jump.

Come on, I don’t need to put a spoiler warning up there do I? These figures were shipped a few weeks ago, and I’m figuring by this point everyone knows what the second installment of the FSS was. Continuing on my week-long review frenzy, the latest two G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club Figure Subscription Service figures have been added to the review archive!
