Hot off the presses, this 2-disc DVD set is being released to the masses today, and GeneralsJoes has your review right now! As a self-professed G.I. Joe: Renegades fanatic, I was quite excited for one of my favorite animated series to finally see DVD release, even if it’s only the first half of the first season.
Check out the review of this great series at the link below!
For G.I. Joe fans who have been following the property for only a few short years, this may come as a surprise, but believe it or not, there was a time, not very long ago, where Roadblock wasn’t a household name. In fact, he wasn’t even on Hasbro’s radar. A victim of lost trademarks, it seemed inevitable that Roadblock would simply fade from the consciousness of the G.I. Joe faithful and no longer be a major part of ongoing canon.
Sure didn’t turn out that way, huh?
I must give credit to long time Joe buddy Todd of Magnum 6 Delta for prompting me to put this post together, and considering the G.I. Joe: Retaliation motion picture on the horizon, and the potential for redefining the core characters of the Real American Hero brand, the timing couldn’t be better.

Yes, the G.I. Joe: Renegades Amazon 4-Pack had sold through yet again, but as of right now, both sets are back in stock!
If you want to see my thoughts on the Renegades set, check out the reviews below.
The past few episodes of What’s on Joe Mind have been somewhat of a whirlwind…between the big 50th Episode, the special edition focusing on G.I. Joe: Retaliation, and our one year anniversary we’ve been trying to do a lot of special things. Well, episode 53 the guys get back to basics a little bit, bringing 12″ aficionado Ace Allgood back to the show and beginning the push towards JoeCon 2012!
I unfortunately had to sit this one out as my hectic business trip to Kansas City left me with strep throat, but I’m looking forward to listening to it with the rest of you guys! Check out the newest episode on our Podbean page, or listen via the embedded player below. As always, show notes are after the jump.
It’s four reviews in one!
To say I was excited to receive the Amazon Exclusive G.I. Joe: Renegades 4-Pack in the mail last week would be a massive understatement. Ever since I heard the animated style tooling was being pushed aside for more “realistic” figures, I’ve had a clamoring to see what these animated figures would have looked like…and now I have that chance!
It’s a somewhat funny dichotomy, though, because honestly I don’t see much “G.I. Joe: Renegades” in the Storm Shadow figure, even in the animated design. Just read my thoughts below if you’re interested!
The reviews are all hosted in the G.I. Joe: Renegades/30th Anniversary Review Page as well. Next up… G.I. Joe: Retaliation figures (finally)! Coming this week.
