In this episode of G.I. Retro, I break down another great season one episode of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, Jungle Trap! This one was written by Paul Dini, one of the minds behind Batman: The Animated Series! Cobra kidnaps a scientist whose invention can turn the Earth’s molten lava into a weapon, and the Joes give chase deep into the jungle, where Cobra Commander has a trap waiting around every corner. SOUND OFF WITH YOUR PICKS IN THE COMMENTS: Who was YOUR Episode MVP? Who was YOUR Foul-Up…

  By Serpentor’s Lair Editorial Staff Snake Eyes gets the glory, the swords, and the mystique. Duke gets the responsibility. And that makes him far more important to what G.I. Joe actually represents. Duke in the classic G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero animated series. Animation: Sunbow Productions, Marvel Productions and Toei Animation. G.I. Joe characters © Hasbro. Image source:Kotaku. Let’s say the thing a huge portion of the G.I. Joe fandom isn’t going to want to hear: DUKE IS MORE IMPORTANT TO G.I. JOE THAN SNAKE EYES. Not cooler.…

Sub-Teams Part IV: D.I.R.E. Tech

My final installment in this series of G.I. Joe sub-team articles hits today. The Hasbro team has done such an excellent job creating new characters that fit so well into the lore while also turning out to be outstanding figures. I absolutely love it. Wolf Spider is my favorite new figure, but there are plenty of great ones. When it comes to the D.I.R.E. Tech crew, though, there’s also some reuse of older parts and designs—and it works incredibly well. When Crystal Ball first came out, I was a little…

CAL-EL Customs and Why Our Carded King Is Important to Our Community

Serpentorslair Staff, 0 comment

By Destro Designs – Viper Den Studios About two weeks ago, I opened the Twitter app to find myself and three other members of the community immortalized in 3¾-inch form. I was fucking blown away. The character’s head looked crazily like me, complete with sunglasses. It also had a freaking Destro head! And the weaponry honestly looked like it had been chosen straight from my own personal arsenal. The more I looked at it, the more I thought, This is absolutely perfect. Flawless, even. After checking out the rest of…

Are We Doing Ewoks Again?! | G.I. Joe: Satellite Down | G.I. Retro

Serpentorslair Staff, , 0 comment

A G.I. Joe spy satellite crashes in an unexplored region, and both G.I. Joe and Cobra race to recover it. But they are not alone. A primitive missing link tribe called the Primords gets there first, and they have some very strong feelings about their new “god”. It leaves me asking: are we doing Ewoks again? Plus maybe the greatest entry in the Spirit and Storm Shadow rivalry as they engage in another battle of physicality, wits and words! Orto! Orto! Who is YOUR pick for MVP?What was YOUR favorite…

Story By @G_I_DAVE Alright G.I. Joe friends, huddle up. G.I.DAVE here. Season 2 Episode 19, “My Favorite Things.” I sat down for another Sunbow pass expecting a Serpentor episode. What I got was a scavenger hunt with a face-swap filter. This one DEFINITELY got silly as all hell quick, so were gunna take a different approach here and try to kill it the same way it cut me! Serpentor is supposed to be the end product of history’s hardest military minds stacked in one body. Sun Tzu, Alexander, Caesar, Khan,…
