Read MoreStory by Destro Designs / Viper Den Studios Part 1 – Epic Entrance Song Battle Right off the rip, the trombone comes blasting in, with the off beat, ear blaring sound that goes right to my heavy metal roots. Out of nowhere, a shooting star rolls through the sky in a serpentine movement and blasts into the Gi Joe sign with explosive fireworks as the drummer gets wicked. A Cobra flying aircraft carrier lurch’s into view as its silhouette is back lit by the full moon. Parachutes abound, we get…

Other figures didn’t have this level awesomeness molded into them. He Man was cool because it was what we had, but not very detailed, Star Wars was the same 3¾ Scale but they were largely bland in my memory, I just wanted them Joes. Whether it was the detail on that Destro or how cool Snake Eyes looked, I was, right off the bat, hooked…

Read MoreIf ever there were a villain who looked like he crawled straight out of a leaking oil drum, it’s Cesspool. Introduced in the early 1990s during G.I. Joe’s eco-themed era, Cesspool wasn’t just another masked bad guy — he was environmental disaster personified, wrapped in a business suit and armed with corporate greed. Released in 1991 as part of Hasbro’s Eco-Warriors sub-line, Cesspool represented a different kind of threat. The Cold War was winding down, and pop culture villains were shifting from shadowy foreign agents to corporate polluters and environmental…

Read MoreParamount looks ready to take another shot at G.I. Joe, but this time the studio’s approach is a little unusual. According to multiple reports, two separate G.I. Joe movie scripts are now in early development, with Max Landis and Danny McBride each working on different takes for the franchise. Some reports say the studio may eventually try to combine elements from both versions into one film, which is either a bold creative swing or the most G.I. Joe thing imaginable. That news puts the long-running live-action future of G.I. Joe…
