Rob, Paul and Steve are back to talk about the latest GI Joe comic title: Saturday Morning Adventures! Did we love the long-awaited return of red and blue lasers?
PEW! PEW!

As if the world wasn't in enough of a state, South Africa is wracked by an energy crisis! Paul and Rob are in the dark and Steve is left flying solo... Or is he?
Rushing in to fill the void are the awesome Talking Joe Podcast team of Mark, Tim and Jay. We talk comics, revel in playtime nostalgia, and get pumped up about the 40th anniversary of ARAH by answering the question: what is the most exciting thing about GI Joe RIGHT NOW?
Talking Joe is a comics-focused podcast and YouTube channel with comprehensive coverage of much of the multiple GI Joe runs. They can be found on most podcatchers, their YouTube Channel, or for the full package, check out their website at: https://talkingjoe.co.uk/

We're back with another fat chat! Hiya Toys GI Joe announcement, the reactions of folks to getting the HasLab Razor Crest in-hand, late G1 Transformers, He-Man... its a wild grab bag of random stuff! Plus, what toys were criminally underutilized in the classic series and could have found a home in the Battle Corps, either as a redesign or straight up redeco? Thanks Matt L for the topic suggestion!
