Already causing some conflict within the G.I. Joe fandom, the G.I. Joe: Retaliation vehicles continue to be a conundrum to me. Somewhat cheaper feeling plastic, figures that only move at five points of articulation, yet still sporting some very nice improvements on previous releases, and pretty fun vehicles all told.
But do some improvements justify the cost of these new vehicles? In some cases no (you can probably tell which ones I have not been able to justify by the fact that reviews have not been posted on the site yet…) but in some cases, yes. Which category does the HISS fall into? Check out my G.I. Joe: Retaliation Review Page or just hit the link below to find out.
If you’ve been after a particular Sideshow Collectibles piece, but thought they were sold out, REJOICE. Sideshow Collectibles tells us that they have many G.I. Joe figures and statues back in stock now.
With G.I. Joe: Retaliation apparently out of the picture for 2012, you need something else to spend your G.I. Joe cash on… Click on the links or banners below to buy!
G.I. Joe Collectibles Zartan 12-inch Figure
Ugh, I’ve been lagging again. With the furious onslaught of G.I. Joe: Retaliation news and so much other stuff happening in my personal life and the fandom, I’ve just lost step a bit with my IDW reviews, but I’m going to endeavor to get back up to speed if at all possible.
Hopefully no one thinks a lack of reviews is any indication of my enjoyment of what IDW is doing, because it is not. I’m still thoroughly enjoying the roller coaster ride of the Real American Hero title especially, though I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t at least a little bit happy to see this Blue Ninja saga coming to an end.

The figures currently available at Dollar General stores nationwide are causing quite a stir in the community. Hot demand combined with low quantities, and amplified by rumors of a recall (which I believe are totally false, for the record) has all jettisoned these figures towards the top of many fans’ want list.
But how are they really? Once you look past the insane demand, how successfully are these as G.I. Joe figures?
GeneralsJoes gets to the bottom of it! I’ve started with the bad guys first and will review the good guys tomorrow.
First, I do have to say I hope you all accept my apologies…I am still in mid-move, so as a result, my review station isn’t quite as optimal as it has been in reviews past. I’m forced to use the Flash a lot more as I’m having trouble finding consistent lighting sources. The result is that some images are washed out a little more than I would prefer. Also, most of my figures are packed in storage, which has greatly limited my ability to do comparison shots. I’m hoping once I’m settled at the beginning of July, I can straighten things out again and get my reviews back to the level you all expect, but I appreciate your patience until that happens.
