Agent Mouse was last week… and this week it’s Sgt. Airborne! Built upon the foundation of the unreleased Data-Viper with some 30th Anniversary Law & Order thrown in, there is a lot of new stuff to love with this figure.
Check out the review in my G.I. Joe: Retaliation review page, or by hitting the direct link below.
G.I. Joe has been around for three decades, and the online community has been thriving for over twelve years, so it’s amazing to think that in all that time there are still some very cool new concepts to explore in the G.I. Joe mythology.
GeneralsJoes Twitter friend Dan Uthman announces that he has launched GIJoeGraphy.com a site devoted to the history of the G.I. Joe characters we all know and love. Where did they come from? He includes a massive map outlining the birthplaces of your favorite Joe characters, and also dives into some key places that should be familiar to all of us.
Check out GIJoeGraphy.com, it’s sure to be a really fun resource for G.I. Joe intel. Big thanks to Dan for the heads up, and be sure to catch his announcement on the Flag Points podcast.
I know there has been an obvious G.I. Joe vacuum at retail, but don’t forget…all is not lost in G.I. Joe toy land. Those great folks over at Sideshow Collectibles still have tons of G.I. Joe products in stock and ready to ship!
Excellent figures like the Crimson Guard, General Hawk, Cobra Viper, Zartan, Rock n Roll, and many other great dioramas and statues are in stock at Sideshow Collectibles, so satisfy your G.I. Joe itch with some 12″ goodness.
Click the banner below to see what they’ve got in stock and use some of that “mad money” for some really cool conversation pieces for your G.I. Joe collection.
Any episode that features Chuck and Kevin talking about tasteful nudity is bound to be a legendary one, and this episode delivers. The guys talk to Jim Sorenson, author of the fantastic G.I. Joe Field Manual, and then proceed to put him through a miserable 2 hours of off topic rambling, Gangnam Style free-style rapping, and yes, tasteful nudity.
Jim took it like a champ, and the episode ends up running the gamut, talking about the New Jersey Collectors Convention, Kevin’s excellent Metalhead figure, as well as the G.I. Joe Field Manual and the latest and greatest G.I. Joe news.

For going several years now I’ve been saying good things about Marauder “Gun Runners”, not just for the excellent product they release, but their outstanding customer service, willingness to accept fan input, and outstanding communication has created a strong and intense fan following.
Now those fans need to step up.
Marauder “Gun Runners” has been receiving lots of customer requests for new product, to the point where they can’t logistically produce their excellent items on a time frame to meet demand. So Marauder John has announced via Facebook that they are launching an exciting Kickstarter Campaign to fund future releases!
Their current goal is $17,000, which would allow them to fund production for 10 ALL NEW items for their “Gun Runners” business, and that includes unpainted weapons as well as pre-painted versions as well.
There will be several “stretch goals” as well, which means for a certain amount over their $17,000 goal, they will add more NEW ITEMS to this assortment. This is our chance, Joe fans. Marauder “Gun Runners” has done amazing stuff for us over the past seven years, we NEED to step up and kick in some funds to help get this new assortment into the production chain. It will only benefit all of us with great new gear and accessories for our favorite 1:18 scale figures.
Hit up the Kickstarter project RIGHT HERE!
The end of 2012 is slowly marching towards us, which means preparations for 2013 conventions is now under way! Dave Tree from the Roll Out Roll Call show over in the UK has debuted a fantastic looking vintage style 12″ Baron Ironblood figure they are selling exclusively at the show!
