I was floored when I first saw this and I had to share it. Check out the images shared below (with permission) of Jeremy Hill’s amazing G.I.Joe Millennium Falcon. He posted Here on Universal Joes a closed G.I.Joe FB page of which I am member (and you should join too, if for no other reason than tell Jeremy how cool this is)
Join Sam (me) and Aaron as they look at 50 years of GI Joe. This time, they’re joined by Gary “Goggles” Head AKA Gyre-Viper from JoeDeclassified and the JDSO podcast. In this episode, we take a look at the origins of the 1980s relaunch of GI Joe: A Real American Hero, retouching quickly on the 12″ iteration’s origin. Gary lends us his brain, Aaron fills us in on a few things that were happening in Europe at the same time with Action Force, and finally Aaron asks both Gary and Sam about the future of the brand. This is an extravaganza of awesome Joe stuff. You can listen to it bellow in the embedded audio player. For more of Sam, stay on this website and use the drop down menu above, for more from Aaron head to the new nerdversity101 page: http://nerdversity101podcasts.blogspot.co.uk/
Sadly Gary Head passed after this recording. He was incredibly supportive in the relaunch to Nerdrahtio and had planned to return to discuss more topics, including an episode one of his favorite comics Age of Apocalypse. He is missed daily by children, their mother, family and friends.
You can hear more from Gyre-Viper @ jdso.podbean.com (Link currently not working)
You can also participate in awesome Joe discussion in the G.I.Joe Discussion Facebook page.
UPDATE:
This post has been updated to reflect the split that occurred and ultimately lead to this website changing from nerdversity.com to Nerdrahtio.com and Nerdversity101 continuing on with Aaron and Alex and me (Sam) Gaining Tom as a co-anchor on the podcast, and retaining control of the website’s content and designs. There was drama, but that appears to be down, I received an apology, and we are moving on.
It’s the time again. Coil Con is this Saturday in Indy (click here for more info) As we look forward to a good time hanging out together, checking the new exclusives in person (including the obscure Weaponsmith from G.I.Joe European Missions!) I thought I would share the pics of my set from last year in a sort of review/ more of a spotlight.

Our friend’s at Serpentor’s lair have expressed interest in doing a kickstarter project. I’m pretty sure it would be 1:18 scale. Do you have some ideas you want to share with them? Want to hear whats being talked about?
Check it out here: (and if you want to tell them the ideas I posted are awesome… I’m cool with that 🙂 ) -Sam
Fresh Monkey Fiction has been hard at work spreading the word about their kickstarter line and recently added “the Turtle” (the Spectre like guy to the far right) to their line up. They haven’t quite made their goal yet, but you still have a week to pitch in and get some classic hero merch.
check out the kickstarter HERE
we even did an episode on Enemy Mine which you can listen to below: -Sam
