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.

Also, details on Paul and Cujo's new music venture are hinted at; and the recent spate of superhero flicks come under fire.

 

Yo Joe! 

GI Joburg Episode 64: FSS 4.0

Been a while since we talked toys. Comics and cartoons are all fine and well, but action figures, vehicles, and playsets take the focus back in this episode where the boys crack open their elusive top 5 toys that have evaded capture. They run down their wishlist of toys they're still on the hunt for; and dip their toes into the Hasbro Cinematic Universe concept. Figure Subscription Service 4.0, also comes under fire... *ahem*... receives some focus. 

GI Joburg Episode 52: Crossovers

Join Paul, Steve, and Rob as we discuss crossovers, who would win in a fight between Snake Eyes and Iron Fist, and generally have fun talking about comics, brainwashing, and Larry Hama's birthday!

GI Joburg Episode 63: Choose Your Own Adventure

GI Joburg spins its own fan fiction in this episode, but in the style of a Choose Your Own Adventure novel. Surprising. Alarming. Undeniably retro. 

We also discuss the Collectors Club Sky Patrol set, and FSS Pythona rears her freaky smooth head. 

 

Grab your troops and get ready to make the drop...
