When good friend Chris asked if I wanted to go on the Full Force podcast to discuss my latest non-G.I. Joe novel, The Fog of Dreams, I was pretty ecstatic. For all of the work I put into developing the book, I’ve found precious few chances to talk about it, and it was an absolute blast.
I talked about the writing process, character building, and of course couldn’t help but dip into the G.I. Joe universe and also speak about my Kindle Worlds projects. Thankfully, this episode of The Full Force actually has some credible people on as well, as they speak with Paddy Lennon and Brian Hickey of Total Retaliation fame, as well as caster/customizer extraordinaire RagingSpoon and Nichole.
It’s an action packed episode, so join Chris, Dave Tree, and Eddie Inman for a fantastic packed episode. Then after you listen, please consider hopping over to Amazon.com and picking up The Fog of Dreams so you can see what the talk is all about. It’s only $2.99 for Amazon Kindle and has a lot of appeal for G.I. Joe fans.
Take it away Full Force!

Our good buddies from across the pond have posted their latest podcast, and it sounds like a good one! With Roll Out Roll Call 2015 right around the corner, they cover some good stuff with the upcoming show and open up the ole vault.
Check it out over on the What’s on Joe Mind Podbean page, or embedded below.
With Roll Out Roll Call just around the corner, the boys discuss the finer points of the show in what is definitely one of the sexist episodes we’ve ever produced….not the sexiest!! It what should be some very simple news segments, Dave, Eddie and Chris get deep and meaningful in discussions that will amaze and shock….not really….just bigging it up!! We look at Raginspoon’s upcoming exclusives for the con and delve into the same characters from those exclusives in the figure review and from the vault. We top it off with the most ridiculous ‘what we got in’ section as Chris barrel-rolls into, what can only be described as, a plastic crack addiction!! So, join the boys with the toys as they put up ‘no girls allowed’ signs for the latest episode of the…….FULL FORCE!!!

Over on the Official Loyal Subjects Facebook group, a great selection of new press images has been revealed for upcoming G.I. Joe product and it looks insanely cool. A great mixture of vinyl style and articulation (with removable accessories to boot!) this looks like a pretty huge step forward in the vinyl figure concept.
They also showed images of the FANG (with rotating copter blades) and the Watchtower (with rotating gun and movable spotlight). These mini accessories can actually fit the figures! Pretty crazy looking stuff.
Check out the images below, and keep watching TheLoyalSubjects.com and the Loyal Subjects Facebook Group for the latest info! Also, the NerdRAHtio podcast posted an interview with Loyal Subjects designer Joe Allard recently, you should absolutely check that out, too.

This is an episode G.I. Joe fans are not going to want to miss!
Dave, Barry, and Tod have been doing the Regular Joes podcast steadily for a little while now, but have suddenly rocketed forward to their 100th episode! I have no idea how it happened, but here we are.
To celebrate they brought on their close friend Derryl DePriest, who obviously works with the G.I. Joe brand for Hasbro, but more importantly has been a collector and enthusiast for his entire life. This episode focuses much more on Derryl’s “collector” role, and It’s a fantastic listen. Here Mr. DePriest, as well as Barry, Dave, and Tod, geek out about toys, films, and pop culture in ways you have likely not heard before and reassure yourself with the kind of person we have associated with our favorite Brand. I think you’ll find he’s as big a fanboy as the rest of us.
Check it out on the Regular Joes Podcast page. This is a CAN’T MISS episode.

The way episodes have been posted lately means that a somewhat larger gap happens between them, which actually has the benefit of giving us more to talk about. For episode 98 we come close to our self imposed three hour limit, but it’s tough to say that any of the discussion was extraneous. We talk to good friend of WOJM Bill Ratner about his latest adventures, and he never fails to entertain. There’s some great discussion about regional events as well, encompassing lots of real estate from Iowa all the way to Southampton, UK… wherever there’s trouble, WOJM is there!
Of course we also talk about latest rumors of a 6″ G.I. Joe line and get back to basics about what G.I. Joe means to us. Lots of stuff crammed into that three hours, hopefully you’ll enjoy it.
Check out the latest episode at Podbean.com or embedded below and show notes are after the jump.

It’s been a little while, but the WOJM are back with a new episode featuring all of the latest news and G.I. Joe intel… from like a month ago. Oops.
In all seriousness, it’s not like G.I. Joe news has been hot and heavy these past few weeks, and we touch on some great topics, even broaching the hot-button issue of G.I. Joe Shattered Glass! We also talk about 50th Anniversary releases, the Kre-O Terror Drome and many other great topics.
As always check out the latest episode embedded below or at our Podbean Page.
SHOW NOTES
Not exactly a timely episode, but hey, not a lot is going on. No worries, #98 is right around the corner. You may be wishing for it after you hear Chuck ramble in the opening segment. We basically catch up on some old news, discuss COIL Con V and have a small roundtable on the Club wanting to experiment with Shattered Glass and more TF/Joe Crossovers…which make Gary very grumpy. Enjoy the funk!
