Read MoreBy Destro Designs – Viper Den Studios Just the other day, my brother, Evan the Architect, posted a photo of his dope Crimson Hound and some awesome figures. I gave him a shout in the Twitter streets about it being good, and he responded by saying I had inspired him to give it a try. I smiled so damn hard. A few others have said the same, and I thought maybe I could use this mouthpiece to tell more people… It’s time to start taking pictures of your toys. I…

Read MoreBy @G_I_DAVE Hello fellow fans and friends! G.I. DAVE here, your not getting rid of me THAT easy! We’re back diving into another G.I. Joe Sunbow episode to see if it leans more silly or realistic. Been having fun doing these, and I may be the perfect Joe fan for it. I’ve always seen myself as a “comic guy”, and brush away the toon a lot, so going back and watching some of these that I “barely remember”, has really given me a new perspective on the old show. I…
Read MoreFor years, G.I. Joe fans have dreamed of seeing their favorite franchise receive the kind of big-screen treatment it has always deserved. While previous live-action films delivered explosive action and impressive visual effects, many longtime collectors and comic fans felt they never truly captured the heart of what made A Real American Hero such a cultural phenomenon. Now, that could finally be about to change. According to an exclusive report from Nexus Point News, Bradley Cooper is being eyed to replace Chris Hemsworth in Paramount’s upcoming G.I. Joe film from…

Read MoreBy Destro Designs–Viper Den Studios If you’ve ever heard me mention my favorite 3¾-inch G.I. Joe figures, it probably barely made any sense. The truth is, I could genuinely have three different Top 10 lists: Usually, when I talk about my favorites, I’m referring to the figures I actually had and became completely obsessed with.

For instance, I rarely mention Snow Serpent, even though I honestly think it’s arguably the greatest 3¾-inch action figure ever made—not just in…

Read MoreBy 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…
