There’s a fair bit of GI Joe animation out there. Be it DIC, Extreme, Sigma 6, Resolute, Renegades and, of course, the legendary Sunbow series.  And these shows served to showcase a lot of toys. But nevertheless certain characters, designs, and concepts slipped through the cracks and were criminally omitted. GI Joburg takes a look at a few of these toys in episode 251. 

Plus Steve rants about Shockwave’s filecard. It’s all going down!

It's been a running gag here at GI Joburg (perhaps for a little too long...) that Rob never has any new swag. Well that's about to change. Rob's got a mess of toys from Classified to Vintage, Vehicles to Carded Figures. And it's all about to get rated and reviewed by your pal and mine, the Lovin' Scoopful, Robbo!

After covering Joe toys that have gone from zero to hero in our eyes, it's only fair that we ask the inverse: which toys did we buy thinking we'd love... only to now think dramatically less of?

Plus we answer the age old questions like who would win in a fight: Batman or Captain America; and does anyone really love Spearhead?!?

*This is a re-upload! Not deja vu...*

So, you thought you were always a visor kinda guy, but now you're all about the googles... Or maybe the hood was your jam and now you want nothing to do with it in favour of the mirrorface. In this episode the boys discuss toys they always used to like but now have no time of day for; and toys they never gave a second glance before and now rock their world.

We're also cracking out our Xmas wishlist! Guess we'll be encouraging our loved ones to listen to this ep!

And on an (almost) unrelated matter, check out HCC788's excellent assembly video of a vintage Brawler here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulm6-geu6y0&t=1284s

This month-long celebration of all things Cobra features a range of YouTube channels, podcasts, Instagram and X creators and is in its 8th year. GI Joburg is proud to be a part of the event.

In Episode 220 Steve undertook to play with his GI Joes for at least 30 minutes each day. No photo taking, no video shooting, no blogging. Just pure play. Maybe even a bit of plot.

Paul wound up joining the fun. Rob too.

Here are their tales...

And of course we get into the 1027 Hasbro Pulse reveals. Cobra Officer and Alley-Viper.

Yes. It's true. With the digital release of Snake Eyes, the other 2/3rds of GI Joburg have finally seen it and can pass JUDGEMENT. Then we can finally put this film to bed, right? But it's not all film review in Joburg Episode 212, we've got a terrific new playmotion, "Barging In" to discuss, loads of toys and more wishlist items to salivate over.
