GI Joburg Episode 80: Fixing BF2K

Battle Force: 2000. It's a broken concept. Whether it's the figure design; the characters and their representation; the vehicles; the gimmick... it's fair to say that these guys missed the mark somewhere along the line. So with the advantage of hindsight, GI Joburg undertake to fix BF2K. How can we make these toys desirable? How do we make sense of GI Joe's "Soldiers of the Future"? Is it even possible? Hit 'play'!

 

Also, expect much gushery over our new custom figures.

 

Much.

GI Joburg Episode 79: Rogue One

Happy 2017 GI Joburg friends! We did it last year with The Force Awakens, so we guess it's a tradition now! But hey, don't we have Star Wars to thank for our beloved GI Joe toyline after all? Rogue One tops the agenda. We talk toys, the film, even a bit of conspiracy theory. Black-clad action figures feature in our definitive sculpt section. And of course, a little bit of the indomitable Carrie Fisher.

 

"General? To me she's royalty."

GI Joburg Episode 78: Lonely Joes

Seasons Greetings from GI Joburg! And in this Yuletime we take a break from liquor-soaked family gatherings to speak about Joes in isolation... Who is indeed the loneliest operative? Our definitive sculpt discussion kicks us off with Joe's premier survivalist, Outback. And just for kicks, we throw in our top five single seater, small vehicle list.

 

Enjoy in a group.

 

Or like Han.

 

 

Solo.

GI Joburg Episode 77: Letters Page

Introducing POSTBOX: THE PIT. We've recieved some terrific correspondence since we've started out. It's time we published a letters' page. This could become a regular thing. And for our definitive sculpt we're talking one-eyed soldiers. ARRRRRR. There be parallel universes, HAVOC and Cross Country appreciation, discussions of poor ol' Storm Shadow's allegiances, we talk Tombstone and the new releases... it's a furious hour and some change. Enjoy! And don't forget to write us... 

GI Joburg Episode 76: Resident Evil

Resident Evil. We're doing Resident Evil. Because we all love it so and it's now twenty years old! We talk GI Joe zombies for our definitive sculpt section, do a Joe recast of the ill-fated S.T.A.R.S team, indulge in GI Joe/Resident Evil nostalgia, and swap tales of survival horror...

This podcast contains scenes of explicit violence and gore.

Itchy.

Tasty.
