Sorry, Internet, we took a forced sabbatical for a little while as some technical issues nearly wiped out Episode 92 from existence! Thankfully Gary’s technical wizardry pulled it back from the brink, and we have it ready to go.
This episode is absolutely chock full. You want to hear about vintage G.I. Joe? We got Kirk Bozigian for that! You want to hear about stuff rolling with Boss Fight Studio? Andrew Franks is actually one of the co-hosts! You want to hear about some other cool projects from G.I. Joe fans? Chris Sims and Chad Bowers lay the hammer about Down, Set, Fight!
There is literally something for everyone in this one. Check out Episode 92 on our Podbean Page, or embedded below, and don’t forget to check the show notes!

Obviously not wanting the reveal of the G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary figures to steal all the thunder, the G.I. Joe Collectors Club has given us our first FSS 3.0 reveal!
Spearhead and Max in their original 1988 color scheme! This is a Photoshop mock up, so final colors may change, but it’s a good idea of what we’re looking to get when the next FSS kicks off.
Keep watching GIJoeClub.com for the latest news and updates on the Figure Subscription Service!

Well that’s a bit of news, huh? Apparently the upcoming G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary assortment is now a “shared exclusive”! Big Bad Toy Store has launched pre-orders for the upcoming figure and vehicle assortment celebrating five decades of being the worlds best action figure toy line. The pre-order announcement also features new box art not previously revealed!
Check out the images below, and the full Pre-Order announcement follows that.

Curiously, they only seem to be offering the “Troop Builder” oriented 2 Packs at this point, with HEAT Viper and Night Viper. Does “Wave 1” really just include two different 2 Packs? Time will tell, I guess, though I guess the Arctic 2 Pack and Lady Jaye/Baroness 2 Pack could just be “Wave 2”.

GO GET ‘EM!!

The word came out a few days ago that Don Levine had passed away at the age of 86 from cancer. Along with a few other peers, Mr. Levine helped develop the very first G.I. Joe figure model in the 1960s and was not only one of the father’s of G.I. Joe, but one of the fathers of action figures as a whole. With G.I. Joe being the first “action figure” in toy history, Mr. Levine obviously has played a monumental role in the childhood of every single person reading this page.
Mr. Levine’s contributions to the pop culture landscape will forever be remembered, and my deepest condolences go out to his friends and family.

Family events took me away from my computer most of the day yesterday, so I didn’t get a chance to get a Darkness Falls update posted, but I’ve had some time this morning, so here is Episode 7!
