I don’t have a vast foreign collection, or an eco warriors collection but in honor of the Club announcing the Zombie Hunters concept (that seems tied in with eco warriors) I thought had share some shots of one of the neatest gifts i have ever been given. A friend of mine when on a trip to mexico somewhere between 2003-2005 (my memory is crappy) well past the heyday of VHS or Joe cartoons in general and brought back this wonderful VHS (Pictured with the same VHS in English that I purchased years before) -revsears
Some Cosplay from Cobra’s 1st Legion starts off. Then some via facebook:
For the overly PC Crowd, Even Cobra used Merry Christmas:

While many of us were busy eating turkey, celebrating Hanukkah or Thanksgiving, and possibly being stuck in traffic because we traveled to do so, Skinny was super busy. check out his image based retelling of the of Billy, the son of Commander as it unfolded in the comics over the years. After you check it out, give it a link and I’d recommend subscribing to the barking fridge page as well.
I’m a big fan of the folks at joedeclassified.com and all kinds of behind the scenes material. A new project has emerged on the facebook site creating G.I.Joe: a Real American Hero that has simliar behind the scenes images and stories. The Author hopes to turn into a book, check it out and like the page to show your support. -revsears

USA Today has revealed numerous Hasbro SDCC exclusives, but the ones of most interest to me are those in TF vs. Joe set
So Here is a quick rundown of the set (so far we know of no separate singles) with parts lists and commentary.
Parts list: The Classic Vamp now re deco’d as a G 1 Hound
Commentary: I’d much prefer this guy:
The classic Vamp is sad to say, Dated. While this probably a move to please vintage collectors, they already have plenty of Vamps to choose from. While the fan made image shows a vehicle that we have only seen in blue (at least with additional back panels)
A new G.I.Joe game is game is coming for the IOS, to find out more head HERE , and you’ll want to pre-register to get a rare stormshadow card!
The studio behind the game also has released Transformers Legends for IOS and it can give us some clues about what to expect.
I downloaded the game and am working on a review now, but what I can tell you is that it is mostly card focused, but also includes some click to knock down missiles, and scan to search for items/cards sections and has an extensive card assortment to collect digital. It’s free to play but if you want to have a higher chance at getting better cards or want to level up faster, your going to need to pay.
The card battle itself is not involved, so i wouldn’t expect magic the gathering style combat for the Joe version either, but it involves leveling and combining cards outside of combat, and letting the cards play out on their own, which reminds me just a bit of the G.I.Joe trading card game from the Valor Vs. Venom era.
The game does feature a campaign as well as changes to battle others and i’d expect those modes to carry over in the joe form. The Transformers have two versions of each character than you can scan together (vehicle and bot) for a better card, i don’t know how that could carry forward.
I’m heading out for the weekend, hopefully a more proper review of the Legends game will be up next week, as I’ll be playing it a bit more as I travel.
Nerd Nation Forum user skinny is a great contributor to Joe fandom, often tipping folks off with news and of course the recent Mindbender’s clinic. Now he has put some work into live action interviews with G.I.Joe characters! Actors portray some of our favorite Joes as their backgrounds, characters, and interactions with other Joes and cobras are explored.
First up is Bombstrike the 3rd Stall sibling. While on receiving one figure in the Valor Vs Venom days her brothers and their conflict have received a lot of fan praise. Barrel Roll and Blackout were most recently in the Joe Club’s figure Subscription Service were Blackout was the mysterious 13th figure only available to subscribers and is one of the rarest official Joes ever produced!
Boy does go in depth and stay true to the filecards! Love the character, loved her pre-production name (bombshell) and loved the stalls story in the DDP comics, which doesn’t exactly match what’s shared here but is very much worth read!
Episode 2 features a more familiar Joe, who in the movies now the leads the team, check out Roadblock:
Another good performance that digs deep into Joe Lore, specifically Marvel Comics this go around.
Skinny did an excellent job with these and i look forward to more!Hit up his actual youtube page via the videos above and give him some likes and subscribe !
