Several online toy reviewers are celebrating the holiday season this year by contributing to the Advent Figure Reviews Calendar. A new review is being posted every day leading up to Christmas, and I was lucky enough to be able to contribute!
Check out yesterday’s date on the Review calendar to see the review for the G.I. Joe Kre-O Arashikage Dojo set. It’s a massive review with many more pictures than you probably wanted to see, but it’s there!
After the calendar has run its course, I’ll post the links in the normal places.

So, the cool guys at the Cold Slither Podcast Tweeted out a link to one of my old articles covering the history of Roadblock for folks who needed to bone up on their G.I. Joe history before catching G.I. Joe: Retaliation.
That kicked a reminder at me that maybe I should get that post back up on top since G.I. Joe: Retaliation has officially opened and there might be people wondering just who this Roadblock dude is. You can see the original post right here, but I’ve also reposted it at the Read the Rest of the Story link below.

This press release hit my email box this morning, with the G.I. Joe Collectors Club officially announcing the parachute drop for the 2013 G.I. Joe Convention in Indianapolis! One key surprise was immediately evident. The parachute figure this year will be a KRE-ON.
For those of us who are into Kre-O sets and figures this is a pretty cool twist, although I will say part of me was looking forward to a typical 4″ G.I. Joe parachute figure as well. Regardless, it will be very interesting to see what the Collectors’ Club has up their sleeve for Kre-O at JoeCon this year.

First of all, a big thanks to Chief over at JoeCustoms.com for the Cobra Commander hook up! I was running towards the end of this daily review trend leading up to G.I. Joe: Retaliation, and this figure arrived just in the nick of time! Then my hands were so jittery from the excitement of seeing G.I. Joe: Retaliation tonight I could barely type.
Oh, the humanity!
Regardless, the review is done and posted in the 30th Anniversary section, or you can hit the direct link below. Thus wraps up my Discount Store “Running Change” versions of these figures. NEXT!

I’ve showcased the great guys over at TS118 before, and they really pulled out all of the stops for the premiere of G.I. Joe: Retaliation! They were able to coordinate with a local movie distributor to feature their unique and excellently crafted diorama sets at various locations in conjunction with the movie premiere.
Imagine going into your local theater to see G.I. Joe: Retaliation and seeing a full blown G.I. Joe battle scene right in the lobby. Pretty cool stuff right there.

Now this is some cool stuff. Speaking as someone who has zero musical talent I always appreciate those folks who can sing or play instruments… but for G.I. Joe fans who have musical talent and actually infuse their fandom with their musical talent? That’s some bad ass right there.
And Wordburglar is doing just that. Check out the details below to listen to this G.I. Joe fan and rap master!
“Welcome To Cobra Island” is a free concept record inspired by
Wordburglar’s love of GI JOE, the comic book works of Larry Hama &
Mike Costa and the animated series written by Buzz Dixon, Flint
Dille, Christy Marx and Steve Gerber (to name a few). The album
features fully possible, swivel arm, kung-fu battle grip and is
suitable for ages 4 and up. The full-length “Welcome To Cobra Island”
will be available for download on May 30th. Yo Joe!
You can listen to and download the first 3 songs for free right now:
