Long-time JBL member James Kavanaugh dropped this very juicy tidbit in my inbox on Monday. Now, one of my favorite eras of G.I. Joe will have the guidebook it deserves!
Coming soon, the adventure continued in 1997 and is now completely documented in the R.A.H.C. Guide!
After a brief hiatus in 1994, G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero gained a resurgence in pop culture causing a re-release of some favorite characters in their classic molds. This revival eventually induced some experimenting with these classic characters in bold and exciting new directions. Not only did fans get to revisit some of their most cherished icons within the G.I. Joe mythos, they were introduced to new characters that are now known and loved.
This full color, 172 page compendium fully explores all six series that were produced within the second generation O-ring torso era (1997-2007) including the Built to Rule line and the Collectors Club special releases. This guide beautifully illustrates the era’s 689 action Figures, 135 vehicles and play sets and 1,349 accessories including all known variations. Not only is every accessory present and accounted for, they have each been assigned a unique number and identified throughout the resource guide. The accessories are then culminated in a separate section clearly displayed and organized by category. Each action figure has been carefully examined between its initial run and further re-releases to ensure that an accurate sample is clearly and concisely presented for the collector who is identifying individual action figures or sorting through unorganized lots.

I’ve made no bones about the fact that, while the “no-ring” Joes have some great sculpting I still prefer my Joes with that antiquated little construction element. When James first showed me proof pages for this book several years ago, I was blown away by the sheer amount of detail that he was putting into it. It’s a true labor of love from one of THE most passionate fans that I know and it’s an honor and a privilege to be able to post the announcement for this project. However, don’t take my word for it– look at the gallery of images below which offer a preview of the Joe-goodness that will be contained within. Seriously– it’s going to be THAT good!
The much anticipated Round 5 Answers are back and once again they answered ALL of the questions. Head over and check them out.
According to a news article posted over at The Terrordrome, the latest issue of the G.I. Joe Collector’s Club newsletter states that a 25th Anniversary styled Dial-Tone will be the 2011 club exclusive figure. No other details are available except that the figure will feature an entirely new head sculpt.
Let the speculation begin on which existing parts will be used to bring classic Dial-Tone forward the new style.

How much awesome? Come find out! If he oozed any more, he’d be a T.C.R.I. canister!
I was going to tag a picture with this one, but I’d rather you click HERE and gasp at the sight.
(Thanks to board member ‘Tolan’ for sharing the pics!) 😉
YO JOE!!
Sometime before 10:30am CST today, the San Diego Comic Con exclusive figures began to trickle onto HasbroToyShop.com. However, in RECORD TIME, Sgt. Slaughter was listed as “sold out”, leading many to question whether he was truly available or not.
Regardless, as of right now, any attempt to buy the Sarge in either version will result in the following screen:

It’s also been reported that the GIJoe Collector’s Club is also sold out on sets of this exclusive.
JBL members were asked “What’s Your Top Ten?” and you responded. The lists were compiled and broken down to the ten most popular toys, and there were some surprises. Then you were asked to vote on those top ten and you overwhelmingly responded with even bigger surprises. So ladies and gentlemen let’s get right into it and as well see what some of you had to say;
Released in 1983 the Headquarters Command Center was G.I.Joe’s first base. It could house your vehicles in one of its two bays, one featuring an elevating platform. There was a jail cell for those captured Cobra Troopers, and a command center for your Joe’s. As well as a storage place for your weapons in the back of the main base and for your file cards in the (tank) bay. It made for countless hours of fun and a home for your Joe team when not in battle.
LordEd1976 said – “great playset.”
pbarny said – “Nothing better than this thing. Garages, lifts, guns, cameras, computers, jails. Not even the lack of a ceiling or doors can detract from it.”
My good friend TheMatrix8475 (and long-time toy run cohort) beat me to the punch with a video review of one of my most-anticipated toy lines of 2010: Jazwares A-Team movie figures! Featuring (now) Agent Lynch, Hannibal, Face, BA, and “Howlin’ Mad” Murdock plus one awesome GMC van, this toy line combines affordability, playability, and selection. Of course, don’t take my word for it– check out TheMatrix’s great review below. (Plus, sit through the credits! It’s not Samuel L. Jackson, but it’s close!)
The A-Team movie hits theatres on Friday and the toys can be found in stores at Target and Toys R Us. The complete 80’s series was recently released on DVD and is available at Amazon.com.

But….why? Oh! Alexx has some stuff he hasn’t reviewed yet. Nothing new, yet, but some have suggested that I get my butt back in gear and finish off the figures I bought but never reviewed, so come on in and take a look at the Nano-Viper!
