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.

With every image I saw of this guy I grew less and less impressed with him. A sub-standard rehash of the 25th Anniversary Wraith? Yeah, no thanks.
Well, color me surprised, once I got the figure in hand. The tooling works together a lot better than I initially suspected, the new head sculpt is great, and the paint deco is surprisingly effective. The mixture of dark, thick paint wipes and bright blue piping makes a great impression in person.

Continuing on the G.I. Joe: Retaliation review marathon, today I finish up my Wave 2 reviews with none other than the Cobra Saboteur, Firefly! The only Firefly figure being released complete with Ray Stevenson’s noggin, he also comes complete with a florescent green jacket and semi-transparent arms! Considering how much I love my 90’s Joes, this was a bonus, not a detraction. 😉

While the “Ultimate” Flint is still a ways off, we have a Flint available in Wave 2 of the G.I. Joe: Retaliation line. Yes, he’s just a repaint of the version 1 Duke with a new head, but there are some merits to this figure as well. Enough merits to buy this one instead of the upcoming “Ultimate” version?

As March, 2013 nears we can expect G.I. Joe: Retaliation figures to start hitting harder and heavier. Wave 2 has just started blasting across the country, and I’ve begun the review process. First up in the second wave is Storm Shadow.
Not the most auspicious beginning to the Wave 2 reviews, but for better or worse, you can check him out at the G.I. Joe: Retaliation review page, or linked below.

Okay, it’s late, and I’ve been at this for several hours…so I think this is pretty accurate, but I welcome any feedback and comments to the contrary. Re-arranged the wave layouts to more accurately reflect what we now know. Added the EagleHawk, and the new figures we saw today. Lots and lots of pictures!
Not all of the pictures…for all of the pictures, you gotta roam over to the YoJoe Events Page and check out the hundreds and hundreds of images that have been uploaded there. The SuperPage is just for a bit easier reference point.
