Exciting news for a Friday morning today! Boss Fight Studios has sent a Vitruvian HACKS update, and I think it’s the update many of us have been waiting for. We have confirmation that Kickstarter orders of Vitruvian HACKS should be shipping to backers in February!
Please check out the update below, and if you didn’t get in on the Kickstarter, as of Monday, December 7th, you’ll be able to pre-order Wave 1 through the Boss Fight webstore! Great news.
I’m beyond excited that these are moving forward. I’m ready!
Hi Boss-Fighters!
In this update, we’re going to talk about Kickstarter timelines, pre-orders and shipping!
The timeline we have from our factory right now – barring any delays – has the entire production run arriving by early February. Our current goal is to have all Kickstarter orders shipped in February. We’ll be receiving the production run in two parts, the first part in late January. We will be shipping it to backers in two shipments as well, so you can get your toys as early as possible!
We’ll be opening up limited pre-orders for all waves of Series 1 Carded figures, Skeletons, Pre-Curse Medusa, Tartarus Guard, Blanks and Accessory packs on 12:01 EST, Monday December 7th! If you missed out on the Kickstarter and want to be among the first to receive your V-HACKS figures, don’t delay! If you’re already a KS backer, and you want to buy additional items in the pre-order, that’s awesome, but please be aware that we cannot combine shipping on KS items and pre-order items. Pre-Orders will be shipping mid-March to give us time to be sure all of the Kickstarter backers have received all of their items.
Kickstarter backers, we’ve still got a surprise in store for you! Each KS backer above the $30 level (if you got one or more figures) will receive a surprise free figure to thank you for your patience! We’re so grateful for our backers that you’ll be getting a new figure that hasn’t been seen anywhere yet!
Please note, at this point all of the money from the Kickstarter has been used to pay our vendors for production, this means that we are unable to offer any Kickstarter refunds.
Thanks for all of your support!
<3 BFS

An exciting announcement from the minds behind several of the G.I. Joe Kindle Worlds novels!
For Immediate Release
GI JOE KINDLE WORLDS AUTHORS UNITE FOR MULTI-PART EPIC
The four best-selling authors who recently competed in the GI Joe Hasbro Kindle Worlds Fan Vote contest, Jim Beard, Justin Bell, Bill Nedrow, and Troy Osgood, are joining forces to publish a four-part GI Joe story to launch this January on Amazon’s Kindle Worlds platform.
GI JOE: LEGACY will spotlight the four GI Joe characters from the contest in a sprawling, action-fueled saga that spans more than four decades, and will be published once a month for four months. Each author’s short story may be read on its own, but also as “chapters” of the larger adventure. In addition, Beard, Bell, Nedrow, and Osgood will write the stories in “round robin” fashion, each building off the previous installment.
The Kindle Worlds publication schedule will be:
GI JOE: LEGACY, PART 1 by Jim Beard (Adventure Team Marcus) – January 1st, 2016
GI JOE: LEGACY, PART 2 by Bill Nedrow (Stiletto) – February 1st, 2016
GI JOE: LEGACY, PART 3 by Justin Bell (Whisper) – March 1st, 2016
GI JOE: LEGACY, PART 4 by Troy Osgood (Blackjack) – April 1st, 2016
Please visit the Tales of GI Joe Facebook page for updates, as well as the author’s Amazon pages:
I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of this exciting upcoming event! I think it’ll be a lot of fun for readers, and I’m sure it’ll be a ton of fun for us authors, too.
Stay tuned, it’s coming fast!

I’d like to take a moment to wish all my readers and everyone else a very Happy Thanksgiving. Hopefully you all have a lot to be thankful for.
I know it’s been an up and down year for me personally in my “real life” but it’s always helped to have that strong community of online friends to turn to in those times and forget the struggle for just a little while. I’m deeply thankful for all of you for being there when I needed a pick me up this year and for having my back.
Here’s to another great holiday season and a look forward to better times in 2016!

One thing that has been abundantly clear throughout the process of the fan vote for the Kindle Worlds character to be made into a figure is that the G.I. Joe community is starved for new characters and there seems to be a lot of support towards getting all four of the Kindle Worlds figures made.
For obvious reasons, I think I speak for myself, Troy, and Jim when I say we are 110% behind this idea!
Bill has started a thread over on HISSTank.com about this topic and will be collecting information from folks who might want to send their support directly to Hasbro. Please check the thread and let your voices be heard!
Bill has suggested collecting actual, physical letters since that tends to have more impact than Internet discussions, and I find it hard to disagree. Bill has kindly offered up his mailing address to collect the letters, but for obvious reasons I won’t post it here.
If you need his address and cannot get on the HISSTank thread for whatever reason, please e-mail me at justin AT generalsjoesreborn.com with the word “kindle” in the subject line and I’ll make sure we can get Bill’s address to you.
I can’t thank everyone for all their kind words and support throughout this process, and even though Whisper didn’t win, this has been a fun experience and I’ve appreciated getting to know the fellow Kindle World authors.
Thanks!

Can I just reiterate how much I love SL Gallant’s artwork on this book? Even during this short preview I have such an awesome feeling of nostalgia. Great stuff.
Part Two of the COBRA World Order is in stores this Wednesday. Check out the preview below, but more importantly, get to your local comic shop and BUY IT on Wednesday!
G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #220: COBRA WORLD ORDER Part 2
Larry Hama (w) • S L Gallant (a) • Francesco Francavilla (c)
Once G.I. Joe uncovers more about Cobra’s sinister plot, the villainous organization goes to ground and consolidates its forces. Cobra’s Master Plan is set to begin and G.I. Joe will not be prepared for the epic scale of the coming caranage!
FC • 32 pages • $3.99
Bullet points:
- COBRA WORLD ORDER heats up!

…and it’s Bill Nedrow’s Stiletto!
I won’t say I’m not disappointed. In fact disappointed may be an understatement, but Bill did an excellent job fleshing out his character and she looks like she’ll make one hell of a G.I. Joe action figure, so props to Bill for his victory.
Check out the article on Hasbro Pulse for all the details.
