It’s a one-two knockout punch this weekend as two ongoing dio-stories have been updated!
General Hawk’s “GHOSTS” returns with the all-new chapter 3! The Renegades go into combat– but not against who you might expect! It’s a chapter that sets the stage nicely for the coming installments and hints at what is yet to come. Get in on the action at GeneralsJoes.com!
Spin Doctor’s “HIDE & SEEK” is back with chapter 5! Questions are answered and the plot thickens as we find out who was in the interrogation cell! Enjoy the action and the customs over at CheckPointAlpha.com!
Once again, the GIJoe Collector’s Club comes through for the fans!
Just posted are detailed “first look” images of the figures from Comic Pack # 21 1/2 – “battle damaged” Snake Eyes & Storm Shadow! Both feature all-new paint decos and accessories including a cloth cowl and a “sound amplification” rig for Storm Shadow’s bow!
Check out the pics over at GIJoeClub.com!
The folks at the GIJoe Collector’s Club have unveiled new pictures of their 2008 renewal figure– the previously cancelled “Robot Rebellion” Cobra Commander!
Clad in a new black deco, this figure will feature a removable cowl and cape and includes Venomous Max’s scepter and a Cobra-themed knife! The figure is available free to all active members of the GIJoe Collector’s Club as of March 15, 2008!

Happy New Year!
2007 is gone, fading into the sands of time. With it passes the “official 25th Anniversary year”, the old forums and main page, as well as the 8″ scale line.
2008 will be an exciting year to be a GIJoe. Hasbro will announce the status of the comic book license, filming will begin on the live-action motion picture, and fans will have more new-construction figures heading to stores than they can shake a stick at. There will be more dio-stories from folks like General Hawk, Violentfix, and Spin Doctor and more customs from a score of talented folks out there who continually astound us all with their creativity and sculpting prowess.
So, to all the folks who visit JBL to “get their fix” of news, reviews, and discussion of our favorite “Real American Heroes”, I’d like to wish you all a safe and happy New Year! May 2008 exceed its predecessor in terms of health and happiness!
Yo Joe!
