G.I. Joe Classified 60th Anniversary Legacy Series and The Respect Paid

Serpentorslair Staff, , , 1 Comment

Story by Destro Designs / Viper Den Studios The latest drop from the G.I. Joe Classified Line is the 60th Anniversary Legacy Series, Special Forces Action Soldier. Its a cool figure that’s playing “keeping up with the Jones’s” with offerings from Monster Force and Acid Rain. Lots of gear, tactical chest rig, the whole nine. Even a “Ghost” Mask like the character from Call of Duty. As cool as the figure is, I like it especially because it’s art of an homage from G.I. Joe, to America’s Hero’s via the…

Joe Retro Cardback releases has officially been revealed—and it’s shaping up to be a heavy hitter lineup that feels like it time-traveled straight out of the golden era.

Major Bludd: From Underused Character to Best G.I. Joe Classified Figure

Serpentorslair Staff, , , 0 comment

Story by Destro Designs / Viper Den Studios Major Bludd: A stunning misuse of an amazing character and how he came to prominence as an all time amazing figure. In the Sunbow Cartoon, Major Bludd was the equivalent of Cobra’s Beachhead. A dude who could have easily moved up in rank and off of the battle field full-time. But a gritty, crazy mercenary who loves the action as much as the money, he stays right in the thick of it. Pointing troopers and HISS Tanks towards the Joes and urging…

The Moment G.I. Joe: The Movie Became Legendary

Serpentorslair Staff, , , 1 Comment

Story Destro Designs / Viper Den Studios Part 2 After the beautiful chaos that is the entrance song, the movie starts off with incredible theme music swaying as we see the circle of life in full display as a bee is eaten by a jumping catfish, which is in turn eaten by a croc. Probably Fiona.As her predator eyes scan the water top, we get the dopest, most awesomely angled shot of a STUN cutting through the reeds and into the shallow water. The cadre of STUNS cuts across the waterway,.…

Cobra Chutes, Joe Boots, and Pure Chaos

Serpentorslair Staff, , 0 comment

Story 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…

The Classification: How Hasbro has upgraded our love for those Gi Joe 3¾ Figures

Serpentorslair Staff, , 1 Comment

Story by Destro Designs / Viper Den Studios As a Kid, arguably the defining trait of a 3¾ Gi Joe figure, was, all that detail. 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…

The Masters of the Universe Chronicles Scare Glow action figure makes a powerful first impression as the debut release in the all-new MOTU Chronicles line.
