From the Hall of Justice to G.I. Joe Headquarters: The Secret Voice-Cast Connection That Built an ’80s Cartoon Legend

Long before Duke shouted, “Yo Joe!” and Cobra Commander began screeching about world domination, many of the voices behind G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero had already saved—or threatened—the world on Super Friends. This was not simply a case of two cartoons hiring one or two of the same performers. The recording booths of Super Friends became something of a training ground for an entire generation of voice actors who later gave G.I. Joe its personality, humor and larger-than-life sense of adventure. The most recognizable connection may be Michael Bell.…

Fixing the Colossal Retro Card Art Debacle

By Destro Designs – Viper Den Studios As a young buck, I was firing on all collecting cylinders with G.I. Joe. And when it came to buying and collecting the figures, it was all about the Holy Trinity. The Holy Trinity, as referenced in a previous article, is what made up the collecting experience: Arguably, for me, the card art was, in some cases, the most important part. When I looked at the figure, I saw what was on the card art. I used to legitimately stare at those card…

Yeah, But What Else is at JoeFest?

Story by @GIJoeRepairShop When I told my spouse and in-laws about attending JoeFest, some questions inevitably kept coming up: What else is at JoeFest? What else is there to do there? What other toy lines are represented? As it turns out, there’s a lot of other fun things to experience during JoeFest, if you should somehow find yourself there and not have a love of GI Joe toys. First, there’s a ton of comics. There is figuratively, and probably literally, a ton of comics. All kinds of comics from a variety…

Before the Algorithm Invaded the Toy Aisle: Was Action Figure Collecting Better Before Social Media?

I still remember when finding another serious action figure collector felt like discovering a hidden outpost. It was the late 1990s, the modem was screaming, the family computer occupied half a desk, and a single photograph of a new figure could take forever to load. Yet those slow evenings online felt exciting. There were no influencers posing beside walls of free products. There were no ten-minute reaction videos uploaded seconds after a reveal. There were only fans, message boards, and the shared thrill of finally locating someone who understood why…

Joe Sunbow episode to see if it leans more silly or realistic.After the aviation-heavy survival THRILLER (I was even surprised rewatching it again) of “In the Presence of Mine Enemies,” I wanted to hit one that plays with real-world geopolitics and Terror— the kind of episode that could “show off” a real world Terrorism plan against all nations, something we see often in…

Remembering Sam Neill: The Man Who Made Us Believe Dinosaurs Could Walk the Earth

For an entire generation, the first sight of a living dinosaur was reflected in the astonished eyes of Sam Neill. As Dr. Alan Grant in Steven Spielberg’s 1993 masterpiece Jurassic Park, Neill stood in a grassy field, removed his sunglasses and stared upward at something impossible. A towering Brachiosaurus walked before him, and through Grant’s expression, moviegoers felt the same overwhelming wonder. In that moment, dinosaurs were no longer fossils in museums or illustrations in books. They were alive. Sam Neill died suddenly in Sydney on July 13, 2026, at…
