Big thanks to GeneralsJoes reader David who spotted this great video and passed it along. It takes a G.I. Joe: Retaliation TV spot and interjects some of the terrific classic Hasbro commercial elements and… well, check it out for yourself!
Now this is some cool stuff. Speaking as someone who has zero musical talent I always appreciate those folks who can sing or play instruments… but for G.I. Joe fans who have musical talent and actually infuse their fandom with their musical talent? That’s some bad ass right there.
And Wordburglar is doing just that. Check out the details below to listen to this G.I. Joe fan and rap master!
“Welcome To Cobra Island” is a free concept record inspired by
Wordburglar’s love of GI JOE, the comic book works of Larry Hama &
Mike Costa and the animated series written by Buzz Dixon, Flint
Dille, Christy Marx and Steve Gerber (to name a few). The album
features fully possible, swivel arm, kung-fu battle grip and is
suitable for ages 4 and up. The full-length “Welcome To Cobra Island”
will be available for download on May 30th. Yo Joe!You can listen to and download the first 3 songs for free right now:

This is some seriously impressive stuff. You gotta check it out at the links above.
I plowed through the first four of these figures pretty quickly, but the last two have kind of been in limbo due to availability (or lack thereof). Big thanks to friend of the site Loc, who lent me his Storm Shadow so I was able to get this review done during my “Road to Retaliation” event!
I can’t believe the road is ending this week.
Check out the review on my 30th Anniversary page, or just take a peek at the direct link below. One thing that became perfectly clear during the review of this figure… I need a new vintage T’Ginzu! Yellow-city.
BrainFreeze is a great Pop Culture site from Belgium that is taking a great opportunity to dive into the world of G.I. Joe. They have talked to many G.I. Joe community members and kicked off a series of very promising G.I. Joe news and insight.
Part 1 has been posted right here!
Part 2 promises to launch today as well, and I’ll keep every posted as this continues. A big thanks to Axel for taking on this large subject.
This Saturday, March 23, 2013 from 5-8PM, BAIT will host an in-store event to celebrate the release of the GI Joe x The Loyal Subjects 3″ Mini Collectible Series and the GI Joe: Retaliation film.
Designed by Les Schettkoe, the GI Joe x The Loyal Subjects collection features articulated 3″ vinyl representations of classic characters like Cobra Commander, Destro, Duke, Snake Eyes, Zartan, Storm Shadow, Gung-Ho, Snow Job, and three mystery chase figures. The series is packaged in blind boxes that retail for $12.99 each.
Schettkoe will be in-store to help launch the figures, offering fans a chance to get their vinyls signed by the mind that created them.
This is a unique opportunity for G.I. Joe fans to interface with the artists who have created these excellent products and to get a first look at the Loyal Subjects G.I. Joe licensed offerings. BAIT is located in Diamond Bar, California (further details are in the attached image).
Thanks to the Loyal Subjects for passing this information along!
