Read MoreStory 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,…

Read MoreBy: R.A. Rayne Now that HasLab backers are receiving their G.I. Joe Classified Series Snow C.A.T.s and only two more funded projects remain in production, what is the future of the crowdfunding campaigns? The last HasLab campaign was the TRON: Heroes of the Grid 3.75-Inch Collector Set, which ran from October 9 to November 24, 2025. The set included five 3.75-inch figures (Flynn, TRON, Yori, Sark, and Program), two Lightcycles with jetwalls, and a USB-powered, LED-lit Grid display base. At its $259 price point, the project failed. With petroleum “oil”…
Read MoreBy Destro Designs – Viper Den Studios A couple of months ago, my daughters brought home this 2-inch Duke figure they got from a dollar store, and I loved it. A couple of weeks later, they got me Snake Eyes and Cobra Commander. All three are totally awesome. And I absolutely love having them MOC, along with another set to open. Obviously, I love them because they were gifts from my daughters, but they were also just super-thoughtful gifts. And I started to realize that I have developed an eye…
Read MoreBy Destro Designs–Viper Den Studios Some people ain’t down with G.I. Joe sub-teams in the original 3¾-inch line or the G.I. Joe Classified Series for a couple of reasons. And some of those reasons I can roll with. First, they’re repaints, and some people ain’t about spending that money on something they already have. I’m cool with that. The economy is circling the drain, and buying food for your family is infinitely more important than toys. Maintaining or even upgrading your family’s quality of life is also more important than…

Read MoreBy Destro Designs — Viper Den Studios 2026 has taken a lot of people, at least in the world’s view. After hearing from a member of the G.I. Joe community I’m close with, it got me thinking about the mortal coil wrapped around all of us and the inevitable loss it brings. I don’t want to bring everybody down with an article full of sadness. I’d rather talk about a way we can enjoy the time we have here to the fullest. That’s one of the reasons I insist on…

Read MoreBy Destro Designs–Viper Den Studios To me, when I was a kid, the G.I. Joe accessories were almost as important as the figure—and in some cases, more important than the figure. Case in point: Lightfoot. He was an average figure, even with all that yellow, but his accessories brought him to a level ten really damn quick. He had a helmet, a handheld sonar device, and a belt-fed cable that ran from his backpack to the device. He also had a little droid that walked out in front of him.…
