Folks who have been going to JoeCon for the last few years have had the unique opportunity to interact with Kirk Bozigian, who was literally one of the architects of the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero line back in the 80’s. He was the project manager and VP of Boy’s Toys Marketing back in the 80’s. He was also the “face” of Law from the Law & Order figure released in 1987.
Well the great guys from Flag Points have gotten him on their podcast, and the results were impressive!
Check it out on their Podbean page. Great stuff.

Gyre Viper and his excellent crew of cast mates have finished and posted the latest episode of the JoeDeclassified Spec Ops (JDSO) Podcast! In this episode, they bite deep into the canceled Nano BAT, Iron Klaw, and even touch on the canceled Crimson Guard figure that was slated to come in the same comic pack as Iron Klaw.
Perhaps the coolest thing about this episode are the accompanied images, which have all been posted over at JoeDeclassified.com. These images show some incredibly awesome detail from the unreleased Iron Klaw, Nano BAT, and Crimson Guard.
Keep in mind, these are not the FSS figures, these samples were canceled figures initially slated to appear in the G.I. Joe 25th Anniversary line (Iron Klaw vs. Crimson Guard Trooper Comic Pack) and the Rise of Cobra line (Nano BAT). The insight in this episode is awesome.
Check it out at JDSO’s Podbean page, and please also check out the accompanying images on JoeDeclassified.com. Some really awesome stuff here. Kudos to these guys for such a great show. Hopefully I’ll be joining them on it soon!

Yes, it went up a little late, but those cross-Atlantic plane trips will do that to ya! Recently returned from a whirlwind voyage to Southampton for Roll Out Roll Call 3, Gary has posted Episode 45 of What’s on Joe Mind for your Thursday morning listening enjoyment! In this episode we interview Frederic Doss, the only man known to have been killed by both Cobra and the Decepticons on the big screen (yes, he was victimized in both G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, and the first Michael Bay Transformers film), and a key mastermind behind the development of upcoming fanfilm, G.I. Joe: Initiate.
We’re also joined by a very special guest, Will Bell, recently returned from Afghanistan, who spends some time with us, just shooting the breeze about G.I. Joe. As if that wasn’t enough, an informative interview with Buzz Dixon rounds out this action packed episode.

Show Notes
WOW! Episode 45 is here! Better late than never, right? So yeah, its a week late, but we gave ya over 3 hours of RORC3 coverage, so that made up for something didn’t it? Apologies in advance. With travel and all, it made it difficult getting this out in a timely manner. We’ll make it up to you, trust us! In this episode we are joined by TWO very special guests. First, just joining us as a guest host and hanging out is US Marine, fan of the show and a REAL American Hero, Will Bell (no relation to Justin). Siting in the interview chair this week is Frederic Doss to talk to us about his upcoming fanfilm GI Joe: Initiate and his roles in BOTH the live action Joe and Transformer films. From the mailbag, Chuck is asked about the obscure South African wrestler Col. DeBeers joining the ranks of Cobra, Gary is asked why he hates Transformers so much, and was there ever a time anyone on the cast has ever lost interest in Joe and *gasp* STOPPED collecting. In the news, Hasbro responds to the latest issues with Fun Pub and the guys celebrate the conclusion of a long running show joke. Also covered in the news is the lack of new Joe broadcasting on the hub and a mystery Joe wave was found in the WalMart computers that has the look of being cancelled. After the break you will hear a pre-recorded interview with Sunbow writer Buzz Dixon as we talk to him about the toon and find out some stuff about the most dangerous man in the world AND what would have happened to Cobra Commander in season 3 if the series didn’t get lost to DIC. We thank Will for joining us and wish him continued success in his rehab and thank him for her service to our country. If you agree, kindly drop a comment in on this episode to let Will know how much you appreciate him as well!!

For a couple of hours Sunday night I had a blast recording with not just Howie and Joe from UnderScoopFire, but also Jason from The Terror Drome and Dave from Flag Points. We went through some of our greatest G.I. Joe memories, covered the comics, cartoons, toys, and more!
Here we are, two days later and the episode is online!
Check out the latest episode of the UnderScoopFire Podcast right here, and a huge thanks to the USF guys for inviting me, and for Jason and Dave for some awesome G.I. Joe discussion. It was a blast!

This past weekend over the pond in Southampton, UK, Gary from What’s on Joe Mind and James “KuuKuuSon” Kavanaugh, Jr. are attending the UK G.I. Joe/Transformers convention Roll Out Roll Call 3!
And if you think they’re flying all the way over there without posting a couple special editions, you don’t know them very well. Fresh from the floor of Roll Out Roll Call, you can listen to these special editions below:
In this recap, we get some fresh audio from Jim Sorenson and Bill Forestor about their upcoming G.I. Joe art book, and also get to hear some great Larry Hama audio, desconstructing Issue #21. Then the guys are on the plane and on their way home!
Some fresh G.I. Joe podcast audio…a great way to start a Monday!

And it’s another great one. I posted a short while ago about Jim Sorenson’s upcoming book focused on the art of the Sunbow G.I. Joe animated series…well, the JDSO podcast wasted no time in actually getting him on the show to talk about it. We now know this book will be called “The Field Manual”, and should provide some interesting behind the scenes information to any Joe fans out there.
Best part of the interview is the idea that if this book does well, there’s a good potential for future books to come, from the Resolute or Renegades universe. How cool would that be?
For all of the latest and greatest intel on this book or potential future projects, be sure to keep an eye on Jim Sorenson’s blog.
It’s a great interview, and you also get the same level of G.I. Joe news and information that you’ve come to expect. Check out the JDSO Podbean Page, or hit up the embedded player below to listen.
