GI Joburg Episode 74: Arise, Serpentor, Arise! Part 5

Time to wrap up our five-part breakdown of Arise, Serpentor, Arise! There is no MASS Device. No Weather Dominator. Or Pyramid of Darkness. Only an all-out assault on the Capitol. It's been emotional. We've lost some troops along the way. Let's close this out with commentary, debate, high's, low's, and a definitive sculpt section devoted to everyone's favourite balaclava'd Ranger - it's Beach Head!

GI Joburg Episode 73: Arise, Serpentor, Arise! Part 4

It's the penultimate episode of Arise, Serpentor, Arise! And we all agree that this is very much a high water mark for the series. Action. Pathos. Horror. All await in this installment. That, and a meatball monster. And if that isn't enough sales pitch, Hawk is under consideration in our definitive sculpt section. Check it out!

GI Joburg Episode 72: Arise, Serpentor, Arise! Part 3

GI Joe is on the ropes! Their salvation lies in the hands of one man, the greatest soldier of our time, SERGEANT SLAUGHTER! But Cobra has plans of their own for the Sarge, and in this review of Part 3 of Arise, Serpentor, Arise! only one thing is insured: Alexander the Great's tomb against the possibility of a fire... Wait, what?!? 

Zarana features in our definitive sculpt section in this episode.

GI Joburg Episode 71: Arise, Serpentor, Arise! Part 2

The continued adventures of GI Joburg cartoon reviews! Kick back as we recite one-liners, gawk at buff dentists, marvel at the Thunder Machine's whacky construction and more. Cobra!

And in our definitive sculpt section, it's none other than the muscle-bound, dentist-gone-bad, Doctor Mindbender!

GI Joburg Episode 70: Arise, Serpentor, Arise! Part 1

Today, 30 years ago, the fourth and final Sunbow GI Joe cartoon miniseries first aired. GI Joburg puts the focus on this milestone event with special definitive sculpt discussions, and a blow by blow of all we love and secretly loathe about GI Joe's cartoon endeavors! Watch the 'toon (if you even need reminding!), and then put us in your earholes! Yo Joe!

And considering the cast of the 'toon, we had to do a definitive sculpt section on Sergeant Slaughter. Had. To. 

GI Joburg Episode 69: Filling the Gaps

We're calling this episode: "Filling the Gap". In it, the GI Joburg team discuss Vehicles, Concepts, Equipment and Personnel that were essential to the world of GI Joe, but never made it into toy form. The definitive sculpt section also makes it's appearance... With a twist... 

And if you need another dose of GI Joe, check out "A Fallen Hero" on Cujo's podcast, 30 Minutes of Diabolical.
