by generalsjoes | Sep 25, 2009 | Dio-Stories, G.I. Joe
So I’m continuing my work on my various sets for the upcoming Darkness Falls dio-story, and in the COBRA Foyer, I want 1 or 2 gun emplacements by the far door. Well, in order to make up some emplacements, I want to get some sandbags. Now, Build-A-Rama has some terrific looking sandbags in stock, but I really can’t bring myself to drop $30-40 on sandbags for a couple of emplacements that’ll be used in only a couple of scenes.
Anyone have any ideas? I know Power Team Elite’s got some, but I can’t find any online anywhere. Not sure I want to buy the Wal-Mart Outpost Defender just for the sandbags either (since neither Roadblock nor Tripwire does much for me).
Any ideas out there at all??

Well, don’t get too excited…there doesn’t appear to be anything new on the way, but with thanks to this thread from YoJoe, it would appear that India toy distributor Funskool is once again producing o-ring style G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero figures for distribution. This eBay auction is for a Quick Kick, and the back of the card (with a date stamp of May, 09) can be seen below.
Pretty cool news. Even if nothing new is coming out, it’s always good to see some o-ring stuff making it’s way to retail again, even with the sketchy Funskool quality.

The G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club has posted the hotel information for JoeCon 2010 on GIJoeCon.com here!
It seems so strange to see Convention information popping up again so soon, but I’m giddy to see it. Providence, Rhode Island! Keep your eyes posted to GIJoeCon.com for further information and details, they promise full convention registration forms by the end of the year.

Well, I haven’t done one of these in a while, and haven’t really felt a burning desire to, even though I’ve seen a lot of pretty damn cool and creative stuff out there lately. However, when I stumbled upon Slaughters_Renegade on the Terror Drome…well, I just had to make mention of it!
His work ranges from simple tweaks to existing figures, to entirely new part sculpting and flawless paint apps, he has filled in a TON of holes in the 25th Anniversary roster. I’m sure everyone knows by now that I’m not all about reliving the past, but his work is so good, I just had to mention it. These images were all pulled from posts on The Terror Drome, and mirrored here. Some fantastic work.
