JoeDios administrator Hammerfel has posted an update on his site with some more words of wisdom from G.I. Joe uber-designer John Warden, whom he had a chance to talk with at SDCC this past weekend. The conversation centers mostly on the Pursuit of Cobra HISS v.5 with some great insight from one of the guys who was behind it’s design!
One of the more interesting snippets is the following:
“One of the things he asked me to pass on to the Joe Community is that he has been watching the reaction to the color of the current HISS tank and wanted to assure us all that future releases of that mold will come in classic BLACK(and I would guess other colors as well). He was eager to get the word out, so spread it far and wide!”

With the Canadian JoeCon coming up shortly, the exclusive figures are finally getting revealed! The first figure shown in this year’s set is Cobra Sky-Tech Trooper, “Snake Byte”!
A fantastic combination of parts, this character is an integral part of the Canadian JoeCon universe, who’s background will be fully explored in the exclusive comic book. He’s a great looking figure that blends very well with other Canadian Cobra figures that we’ve gotten so far.
Check out this thread on JoeCanuck.com, and for all of the information regarding Canadian JoeCon 2010, hit up the website as well.

I originally typed up these reviews to be shown in the JoeCanuck newsletter, and they were from January – April of 2010. However, as the SDCC wraps up, and as the 2010 Canadian JoeCon is literally right around the corner, it seemed totally appropriate to reproduce this review on the site for my GeneralsJoes Review-A-Rama.
Originally the review was broken down into four separate issues, so if it seems a little disjointed, that’s why.
I hope everyone is looking forward to the 2010 Canadian JoeCon as much as I am… you can find all the information you need right here, and if the 2009 set is any indication, I think we’re in for some very cool convention exclusives this year!
Check out the review right here.

Well, I’m gonna miss the deadline today. But only because I’m preparing to barrage you guys starting Monday… I didn’t quite have time to get together a review for today, though I still fully intend to post one tomorrow.
However, the real fun starts Monday. Beginning Monday, I’ll be starting the G.I. Joe: Resolute “Battle Royal” where I post reviews of two opposing members of the Resolute boxed sets, all week long until all fourteen figures have been reviewed by next weekend.
If I’m feeling motivated, I may even sprinkle some other catch up reviews in there, too, as I was in the midst of preparing all of those when the Resolute boxed sets ended up shipping early. So, while you guys will have to do without a review today, I think next week will make up for it.
Question is, when do I catch up on my sleep…
In my infinite genius, I committed to a review a day leading up to the release of The Pursuit of Cobra…and of course you know once that hits, I’ll be reviewing THAT, too. So, yeah…probably should have rethought that whole strategy. 😉

Hot diggity. I don’t even know how to express how awesome I think this figure is. The Terror Drome posted a very nice pictorial to their Scoop’s Dark Room just tonight, and I’d type up my thoughts, but I gotta go clean the drool out of my keyboard.
