Big thanks to fellow What’s on Joe Mind cohost Chuck for letting me know that ToysRUs.com has some of the new Kre-O sets listed for sale online!
No images are posted as of yet, but they’ve listed the Outpost Defender and “Firebat Attack” sets for sale. Obviously I wouldn’t recommend grabbing any blind bags, just because I have no idea what assortment they’re from. Plus, there’s free shipping for all orders over $49, so after you get these two sets, if you spend another 6 bucks, you get free shipping. Check out the links below:

It’s been a bit of a break since we posted our last episode, and it seems like the world of G.I. Joe has turned inside out and backwards since then. Excitement about Toy Fair blitzed the online community, only to be defused by the rumor that Hasbro will not be in attendance at JoeCon, and an underlying uncertainty about the future of our favorite brand. We also had a chat with none other than BJ Ward, the voice of Scarlett from the Sunbow animated series!
Well, to celebrate the sure fire collapse of all toy related patriotism, Gary took a strike from the show and is absent from Episode 90. Actually, Chuck is, too, but we figured that was more due to laziness.
However, Mike and Justin called in the reserves as Dave from Toy World Order and the immortal Erik Arana from Boss Fight Studio joined us on the program! Check out the latest episode on Podbean or embedded below, and hit up the Show Notes after the jump.

Well, this is certainly an interesting little item.
Up on Amazon.com there is a pre-order for a G.I. Joe: Cobra H.I.S.S. Tank: Includes Light & Sound!
made by Running Press Miniature Editions. They apparently design and market miniatures of pop culture brands. Looks like G.I. Joe (and Cobra) have officially fallen within their wheelhouse. This kit also comes with a mysterious 48 page illustrated book. Curiouser and curiouser…

Fresh off of events featuring a story tied to the Sunbow 2-Parter “Worlds Without End” we’re getting another Sunbow themed follow up based on the classic episode “The Viper is Coming”. Of course any connection is pretty tenuous, as I’m pretty sure Blackout never appeared in that old school episode.

Check out some screen shots below.
G.I.JOE has received numerous calls from a mysterious informant whose cryptic messages lead the Joes unerringly to Cobra bases and operations all over the globe! The two sides clash as each tries to discover the identity of the enigmatic caller known simply as the Viper. Can Stalker, G.I.JOE’s original ranger, stand up to Black Out, Cobra’s cold, methodical sniper? How will your squads fare with the new debuff logic? Find out in the exciting Global Warfare event, The Viper Calls, on now!
