    With the Classified Series revealing its San Diego Comic Con Exclusive Cobra Commander, Nemesis Enfor...Immortal pending release, and an ongoing comic series unafraid to reset Cobra Commander's origins to embrace sentient snake-people, it seems now more than ever COBRA-LA is getting a big push.

    Or is the fanbase primed for it like an orbiting spore-bomb ripened by the BET?

    We're gonna get into it.

    Plus what do the lads think of all the upcoming Classified releases anywho?!

    Rob, Paul and Steve are going to get into it all on this episode.

    In 304 we have an agenda so packed, we needed help! So we've called upon our US correspondent and pal, the enigmatic Cujo to talk about the recent GI Joe art explosion they call "Joevember".

    You can check out the cartoon on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n71FIFi6fME&t=3s

    Let's take a minute to acknowledge that Star Brigade brought the most bat-shit crazy concepts into GI Joe. And lets take many more minutes to discuss them! Hey, love it or hate it, someone (or a team of someones) dreamed up this beautiful hodgepodge of sci-fi tropes and trotted out glimpses of it on the Star Brigade filecards. Let's stitch it together and try and make some sense of it.

    Episode 251: The Joes The Cartoon Missed May 31, 2022

    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!

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!

    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.

    Here are their tales...

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

    Episode 209: Retro Toys Aug 02, 2021

    It feels like there has never been such a widescale, (predominantly) well-presented retro wave engulfing toy properties as there is today. GI Joe gets a share of it, sure. But there are a fair few other properties that do it, dare we say, a little better?

    In 209 we crack open an overview of what our favourite retro revival toylines are.

    And of course we talk about Masters Of The Universe Revelation. Of course.

    The Great GI Joe Comics Debate Jul 09, 2021

    *Streamed on YouTube and Facebook 8 July 2021 at 22:00 Eastern Time*

    If you were forced to choose between the first 50 issues of the GI Joe A Real American Hero comic series by Marvel, and the 50 issues that followed, which would you say is the superior run of books? In a titanic battle of wits, dazzling argument, and nerdy knowledge, RetroBlasting and Reklaimers Vintage Toys propose the motion:

    "GI Joe A Real American Hero #51-101 is a superior run of issues to #1-50"

    Analog Toys and GI Joburg will oppose the motion. YOU decide the outcome!

    Also, if you’re wanting to buy in to Action Force by Valaverse, it’s not too late! The Kickstarter may be successfully funded but you can still buy the toys! And what’s more, stretch goals are still there for the unlocking! Head here to see how you can get in on the ACTION!

    Episode 158: The Transformers Dec 05, 2019

    Steve turned 35 and so did everybody’s favourite transforming robots! The boys discuss the bots that also rocked their world alongside Joe and also give a rundown on their biggest cases of buyers remorse...

    Bonus Episode! Nov 24, 2019

    Watch out everybody, it’s JOBURG: UNCUT! We were supposed to put out a show, one of our members was a no-show... but we got to talking anyway and this is the result!

    Enjoy?

    Episode 157: Real South African Heroes Nov 10, 2019

    Viva AmaBokke Bokke, VIVA! The REAL O.G. Green Team! Please excuse the South Africans for beating their drum a little on this one. Last weekend our national rugby team, the Springboks, were crowned world champions in the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan. This would mark our third victory since being allowed back into international tournaments after the lifting of a sports boycott in 1995. And we are overjoyed to be lifting that trophy again. In honour of sporting achievements, we chat about Joes and Cobra’s with unique sports interests.

    But in case you were worried that sports fever had the slightest possibility of taking over the nerdy Joburg boys, fear not! We delve into a discussion of our definitive versions of Psyche-Out; an exposé on our favourite GI Joe and Cobra linguists; some Joevember art appreciation; and speculation on the origin of the Baroness’ file name! It’s a mixed bag filled with enthusiastic Joe goodness!

    Episode 156: Cobra Night Landing Oct 30, 2019

    Just in time for your Halloween celebrations, GI Joburg assembles a four man team to embark on a perilous mission using only a small rubber raft and four accessories.

    The shovel.

    The machine gun.

    The radio.

    The knife.

    Can they survive their ordeal?

    Plus: Hong Kong protest on-the-scene reporting courtesy of Steve, an evaluation of which Shockwave is superior - Night Force or regular; and a discussion of some of the finer Joe works this Inktober.

    Episode 155: '85? '83? '88?! Which Is The Best Year Of Joe?! Oct 07, 2019

    Totally stole this idea off StarJoes... But if you were forced to select one year's Joe figures, one year's Cobra figures, one year's Joe vehicles, and one year's Cobra vehicles WITHOUT doubling up on any particular year - which do you pick?! And can you anticipate your fellow Joburger's choices? Some found it easier than others...

    We also weigh in on HasLab's successful Unicron crowdfunding initiative and the very recent blockbuster, JOKER.

    It's just short of two hours of shenanigans with the full Joburg squad. Enjoy!

    Episode 154: Shifters with Alastair and Rob Sep 27, 2019

    A number of times during this GI Joburg adventure, Steve's dropped hints about "Shifters" - a plotline that involved GI Joe characters... but quickly evolved into something far more. For a brief time, it was the best fun he had with his action figures. Quite possibly the best time he ever had with his two best childhood friends.

    It was unlike anything to come before, unlike anything that came after. It was a fantastical time. And in this episode he takes childhood friends Alastair and Robert along for a nostalgia ride unlike any other. Join us as we span realities and enter the world of THE SHIFTERS.

    Episode 153: Clairvoyance with Troy Smith Sep 23, 2019

    We are thrilled to announce the first entry in our GI Joburg Special Forces portal: "Clairvoyance"! Written, shot, edited and uploaded to YouTube by our ally, Troy Smith, it chronicles the events taking place after the Blazing Sand series and introduces slew of new characters for both GI Joe and Cobra.

    Episode 149: The Last GI Joe Figures You'll Ever Get Jul 18, 2019

    Steve got some new Joes as a belated wedding present. They were the final figures on his hitlist. Ever considered what your final Joes are/were? Why were they your lowest priority and have you since discovered their merit? This and other important questions are pondered by the Joburg crew!

    Episode 148: Action Force with Bobby Vala Jul 08, 2019

    We finally have a chat with the most exciting name in action figure design today, Mr Bobby Vala of Valaverse.com and the Action Force Kickstarter. We reflect on his incredible journey and what will no doubt be the first chapter in a storied career of independent toy production.

    As of this episode's publishing, there is one week to go to show support and bring these glorious toys into existence so head on down to https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/actionforce/action-force

    We wouldn't be underselling it to say that action figure fans everywhere are very fortunate to have a man this passionate, talented and caring working in toys today.

    We chat to longtime friend and supporter of the channel, Ronald Hof on the topic of restoring these gorgeous toys of our youth to their former glory. Ron is a master of the restorations game, and it's certainly a topic we've been itching to discuss with him for some time. After all, he's the guy responsible for getting GI Joburg its very own Defiant Launch Complex. We also discuss the man's favourite toys and collecting philosophy. So climb into Ron's toyroom with us and Live The Adventure!

    Episode 140: Blood In The Water with Alastair May 22, 2019

    Hot on the heels of Recondo's fight for survival on YouTube in "Blood In The Water", we recorded this pod to reflect on behind-the-scenes shenanigans. Steve and Rob's childhood friend, Alastair joins the fray (he's the reason we have a concluding chapter to begin with!).

    In the second half, the gang discuss new toys they got in, with an unexpected debate on who is the best Slaughter's Renegade!

    And if you'd like to help a fellow Joe content-creator realize a dream, check out JoeMotionVideo's GoFundMe. He wants to make an appearance at JoeFest this year but needs our help.

    It Christmas time again! Rob, Paul and Steve chat about the issue that plagues all collectors around this time of year - making space for new toys! Steve calls it "downsizing"... Paul prefers to just call it "collecting goals". Whatever you call it, it's time we had "the talk"! We also weigh in on the Snake Eyes film, and cap things off with some festive fun!

    HO HO HO Everybody, Merry Christmas!

    Episode 133: Definitive Cobra La Dec 07, 2018

    It was the podcast that almost never happened... three times (at least). Maybe we should have taken the hint... But we defied fate and the powers that be to bring you a discussion of the greatest controversy classic GI Joe: ARAH ever produced: Cobra La (lalalalalalalalalala!).

    We talk the three-pack, weird historical coincidences, and our VERY varied reception of this animation milestone. Plus a little much needed reflection and thanks-giving for the epic year that was 2018.

    Yo Joburg everybody!

    GI Joburg Episode 132: WORDBURGLAR Nov 14, 2018

    What, the episode title wasn't enough? We chat to the one and only Rap Viper in this episode about his new album, Rhyme Your Business. Of course the usual toy nostalgia trip ensues as we get down to what makes the premier GI Joe lyricist tick.

    GI Joburg Episode 130: Action Force with Jim Godfrey Oct 27, 2018

    So our buddy and customizer extraordinaire Jim Godfrey had a chance meet up with Bob Brechin of Palitoy fame. Bob was there in the heydays of Action Man, and was the man chiefly responsible for the initial 1/18 scale Action Force figures. Naturally a full-blown, Full-Force discussion of those awesome oddities from the Island Nation follows as we get into some of Jim's most beloved British action figures and vehicles!

    GI Joburg Episode 129: Duke VS Flint! Oct 11, 2018

    We've got long-time listener and pal Dave Cabal on this episode! The topic? Dave's of the opinion that it's Flint calling the shots on the GI Joe team, NOT DUKE! WHAAAAAT?!? But hear the man out, he may have some arguements that surprise us all.

    We discuss fanatasy film castings for everyone's favourite black beret-wearing baddass and climb into a nostalgia topic that asks: if we could go back in time and re-live our childhood with our Joe toys would we do anything differently?

    Be sure to check out Twitter and Facebook for the ULTIMATE DUKE VERSUS FLINT POLL!

    GI Joburg Episode 128: Definitive Snake Eyes Sep 28, 2018

    Two years ago we added a recurring segment to the show entitled "Definitive Sculpt". In it, we hoped to determine for ourselves which versions of which character are our "go-to's". We got the ball rolling with Storm Shadow and since then we've had our fair share of amicable agreements and devastating disagreements. It's now time to take on GI Joe's most enduring icon, the (mostly) black-clad, (almost always) silent, ninja/commando (or is that commando/ninja?!) - SNAKE EYES.

    We also pit the FANG up against the Swampfire up against the Locust in an all-out chopper duel YOU determine the outcome of on our Twitter or Facebook polls.

    And we close out with a discussion of our earliest GI Joe memory.

    It's a bumper episode so pull some toys down from the shelf and enjoy!

    GI Joburg Episode 124: The Toys of Joe Con 2018 Aug 07, 2018

    It's been a month since our epic USA adventure and we've had ample time to reflect on the time that was. So we're unpacking some of our experiences and of course all of the awesome toys we've acquired. What toys may have surprised us... and what toys may have disappointed us...

    And it wouldn't be an episode of GI Joburg without some debate! So we pit the Raider against the HAVOC and the Battle Wagon against the Earthquake as we ask the eternal playground question: who would win in a fight!?

    GI Joburg Episode 111: Black Panther Mar 02, 2018

    So Black Panther is a thing... the boys have one or two opinions on it they would like to share. But we've also got some exciting news to discuss with regards to the Joe Fund Me campaign, and also a discussion of the most recent YouTube adventure: Atlantis Factor Part 2 Featuring the Moray! So even if you feel like the movie hype is a little played out, there are a few other reasons to give this episode a spin. Not least of which because you love us, and we looove you!

    GI Joburg Episode 110: Conventions Feb 28, 2018

    Here's a real mixed bag of an episode, with an overarching theme of "Conventions"... Cujo is bursting with tales to tell of his time at the Long Beach Comic Expo where he had, amongst other things, a run-in with Aubrey Sitterson! What went down? Only one way to find out! Also, Rob tables a discussion of cute vinyl Joes and Cobra's with creepy green eyes; Steve considers supporting HasLab in their attempts to crowdfund Jabba's Sail Barge (if for no other reason than to make Boba Fett die like a bitch); there is talk of the Python Patrol versus Slaughter's Marauders Convention set... and finally: are there any truly seaworthy boats in the A Real American Hero toyline? GI Joburg playtest a few firm favourites while shooting a YouTube video and the results may shock and amaze!

    And after all that madness, if you still love us and want to see us at JoeCon this year, check out our Joe Fund Me on GoFundMe! We're gonna make it! This is awesome!!!

    GI Joburg Episode 108: Farewell Toys R Us Jan 29, 2018

    Our first full roster ep recorded in 2018 and boy is there a lot to talk about. The JoeFundMe; The Barracuda vid, and now the Transportable Tactical Battle Plaform vid that just dropped; the uncertain future of Toys R Us has compelled us to wax nostalgic about our most treasured TRU memories; and the announcement of a proposed Joe movie in 2020 makes us want to revisit an old fave of a topic: what would we want from a GI Joe film?

    It's a party. Jump in!

    GI Joburg Episode 105: Highs of 2017 Jan 03, 2018

    Please forgive the numbering faux pas! It was the silly season and I goofed. But let's all have a moment for 2017. What a year for our little corner of the fandom. The Joburg boys reflect on the personal highs of the year. Cujo announces his GI Joe Twitter awards, accompanied by the sick beats of Nick Force; and Steve announces the winners from episode 106's deathmatch battles!

    GI Joburg Episode 103: The Blind Master Chat Nov 21, 2017

    If you're listening to GI Joburg, chances are you're a little obsessed about toys. The tactile elements. The imaginitive elements. The nostalgic elements. But how would your enjoyment be affected if you could no longer see? In our 103rd session we interview Chris Huff, AKA The Blind Master about his love for toys both before and after losing his sight. It's a tale that needs to be told, and one that has certainly left the Joburg boys a little more in love with our collections than we were before. We can all stand to learn a thing or two from this man.

    GI Joburg Episode 102: Zartan Oct 31, 2017

    Happy Halloween from GI Joburg! And even if Halloween is not your thing, we know you're gonna dig a discussion of the team's definitive Evil Master of Disguise... ZARTAN! (...changes colors right before your eyes... ZARTAN!). In keeping with the theme, the boys rattle off their favourite fancy-dress Joe's as well as a pair of freakshow new Cobra agents you wouldn't want stalking you after dark... Mwahahahahahahaha!

    GI Joburg Episode 101: Vintage/Modern Debate with Strydent Oct 30, 2017

    There is a great divide in our hobby. GI Joe collectors are split right down the middle. You're either a vintage guy or a modern era guy. You might even be a girl... But my point is, sure, you can like both... but can you truly claim to like them both EQUALLY? In Episode 101 you will hear opinions from two polar opposites on how they view this conundrum. Representing all that is vintage is GI Joburg's Steve. Representing the modern era, we welcome back an exciting voice of our community - STRYDENT! Do you mix it all up and do battle royale? Or do you blow a gasket at the sight of Pursuit of Cobra figures climbing all over a vintage vehicle? It's time we had "The Talk"...

    GI Joburg Episode 100: GI Joe Past, Present, Future Oct 09, 2017

    What's in a number, right? Well, if nothing else, it's a great excuse to feature some FANTASTIC guests on the show. In an episode loosely subtitled GI Joe: The Past, Present and Future; we go way back to some treasured childhood memories with Steve's oldest friend, Alastair Stokell; we talk figure and vehicle customization with a master of the game, Jim Godfrey; and we speculate on the future of GI Joe with a true pillar of the community, Bryan "HCC788" Lower. Pop a cork with us and let's ring in the triple digits! It only took six years...

    GI Joburg Episode 99: Cujo's Conspiracies Sep 23, 2017

    And now for something a little... illuminating. GI Joe is under fire, and Cujo has been in the trenches. In our ninety-ninth official outing we offer the mic up to our American correspondent for the truth on IDW, GI Joe, and the preeminence of Larry Hama. If you're in the mood for untangling a mystery or two, step a little closer...

    And once again, if you wish to help our pal Timmer on his quest to donate toys to children in need, you can find the relevant vid at:

    GI Joburg Episode 98 Operation Dragonfire, Day 5 Sep 15, 2017

    Time to wrap up on another miniseries. Operation Dragonfire, love it or hate it, it's part of GI Joe history. And to quote the Sally Jupiter from Watchmen: "Every day, the future looks a little bit darker. But the past... even the grimy parts of it... keep on getting brighter."

    And you don't get much grimier than Operation Dragonfire.

    But dammit, I love it all the same.

    Enjoy.

    Also, please take a look at a very noble initiative by fellow Joe content creator on YouTube - Timmer. You can find the relevant vid at:

    https://youtu.be/P71ZKu6K9uA

    Do it!

    GI Joburg Episode 97 Operation Dragonfire, Day 4 Sep 14, 2017

    This episode has it all! Double crosses! Triple crosses! The titanic struggle between Cobra Commander and Serpentor! Low-Light being a baddass! Zarana getting dumped! A spectacular aerial duel between some underutilized Cobra jets! And of course, a conspicuous yellow panty...

    Since the one true CC is being reinstated, it felt right to pay tribute to his finest action figure incarnations.

    So what are you waiting for?!

    GI Joburg Episode 96: Operation Dragonfire, Day 3 Sep 13, 2017

    APE WARRIORS OF COBRA, ATTACK! It's the third part of Operation Dragonfire and things are getting interesting! Thanks to hygene problems back at Cobra HQ, Scoop learns a dark secret and is forced into a crisis of conscience. It's the tipping point of the series and it plays out Temple of Doom-style!

    And check this out: Rock & Roll is our figure focus. Can OG 13 edge out twin gatling guns? Or could there be an upset?

    GI Joburg Episode 95: Operation Dragonfire, Day 2 Sep 12, 2017

    Mudfighters! The Thunderclap! Luxury Kayaks! It's all here and more in Day 2 of Operation Dragonfire! Join the Cujo, Paul, Robert and Steve as they discuss their highs and lows of the second installment, with a special focus on their definitive Alley Viper.

    ALLEY VIPER LEAP!!!

    GI Joburg Episode 94: Operation Dragonfire, Day 1 Sep 11, 2017

    We've run out of Sunbow miniseries' to review... So this September we reach for the DIC! But it's not all bad. In fact, some of it is pretty darn interesting. Stay tuned as we discuss the highs and lows of this era of GI Joe cartoon adventures for five days straight! We also discuss the potential animal companions of the GI Joburg squad, and we see red with a definitive sculpt section devoted to the Crimson Guard. Stay locked onto us this week for a whole lotta DIC.

    Okay, the DIC thing is getting old, I'll try to reign it in. But it was so damn funny to me as a child. I don't think I'll ever get over it.

    GI Joburg Episode 93: '90s Subteams Aug 16, 2017

    Choose Your Own Adventure: '90s Subteam Edition! Join us as we live-roleplay three tales based around a few of the most notorious GI Joe and Cobra subsets. Lily and Paul are on the line from Joburg, Rob's in Cape Town. Cujo joins us from Long Beach and Steve is in Singapore of all places. It's another triple timezone debacle.

    Do you take the Blue pill? Do you take the Red pill? Either way, be sure to take your dose of GI Joburg.

    GI Joburg Episode 92: SHARC Week Jul 27, 2017

    It's SHARC week and we sink our jaws into GI Joe's premier flying submarine! Definitive sculpt section this ep is on Buzz LightyeaDEEP SIX (of course)! The boys give a rundown of their favourite submarine books and films and a healthy bit of debate on which would win in an air/sea duel - the SHARC or the Sea Ray?

    SHARC love to the max...

    GI Joburg Episode 91: Ninja Force Jul 22, 2017

    Some folks out there might want to skip this one... We're tackling a subgroup that may well be the one that made GI Joe jump the shark. We are talking Ninja Force. And the opinions shared may shock you. Or amuse you. Hopefully both. We get into the art of negative reinforcement and the double bluff, courtesy of our man Psyche Out. And our definitive sculpt section deals with the first lady of GI Joe, a woman with no shortage of ninja connections, the one and only Scarlett. So check your spring action ninja moves and get ready to throw down with Slice & Dice & Everything Nice!

    GI Joburg Episode 90: The 1990s Jul 05, 2017

    It's Episode 90! So we're talking the 1990's! Like duh. The neon. The spring-loaded missiles. The football lingo. We'll tackle it all. We answer the important questions like whether Low-Light should be blonde or beardy. And whether Aubrey Sitterson is winning the war on Cobra mind control...

    Cowabunga Dudes.

    GI Joburg Episode 89: Toynography with Plastic Battles Jun 06, 2017

    Today we talk Toynography ("toy+photography" - let's see if it catches on...) with a master of the game: Paul Panfalone. He's a professional photographer and art director who is the man responsible for @plasticbattles. His stuff is good. Really good. Listen to the show; scroll thru his Insta; be inspired, Joburgers.

    GI Joburg Episode 88: Team 1988 Jun 01, 2017

    At GI Joburg, we pride ourselves on our originality. So for our 88th mission, we bring you a special on 1988! We talk the toys, the concepts, the characters. With no 'toon to back it up, who were these guys? What world called for Cobranauts, hostile environment troopers, and mutant frogmen? GI Joe was dropping big bombs and Destro was into something DEMONic. It was an interesting time.

    We kick it off with our definitive Iron Grenadier picks. 'Cos, what else?

    GI Joburg Episode 87: Redeco's May 18, 2017

    GI Joburg runs down its favourite vehicle redecos to determine the finest reuse of a classic mold. We do a definitive sculpt section on everybody's favourite redeco Viper: Mercer! There's also an unexpected guest waiting in the wings. AND it wouldn't be a GI Joburg list show without a rundown of the WORST colour schemes to ever pollute our beloved toys. Shenanigans ensue...

    GI Joburg Episode 86: The Big Three May 10, 2017

    PAUL. GOT. A. TERRORDROME.

    So we revisit an ancient topic that's ripe for revisiting: The Big Three. Get 'em? Don't get 'em? We share some honest opinions about the Flagg, The Defiant, and the Terrordrome... now that we have all three!

    Cujo calls it 'The Terrordome'. It's weird.

    We also do some coverage of Cape Town's premier fan convention, with the very original name of FanCon.

    Get it, Joburgers...

    GI Joburg Episode 85: Cobra Eels May 05, 2017

    E.L.E, baby.

    That means "Everybody Loves Eels". Don't forget it.

    It's Episode 85 and GI Joburg gets wet and wild with one of the best figures of 1985. Possibly the best figure... ever. We also get into some fanmail on the topic of Joes you'd want to have your back in the big bad jungle... and the Cobra foes that would get you quivering in your boots.

    There's also a chick on the show. Oh. Yeah.

    GI Joburg Episode 84: Ghost in the Shell and Japanese Joe Apr 09, 2017

    Deep dive with Stephen, Paul, Robert, and Cujo into the new live-action Ghost in the Shell 2017 movie as GI Joburg discusses everything to do with Ghost in the Shell, consciousness, cyborgs, souls, and technology gone wild. We also talk about our newest GI Joe major acquisition, and choose our definitive tech accessories and figures. And to wrap things up, we wonder how GI Joe could have been done differently if the Japanese had come up with the Real American Hero concept. Yo Joe!

    GI Joburg Episode 83: Toys of '83 and Burning Building Debates Mar 24, 2017

    Come join us in 1983 as we explore the year's selection of figures and vehicles. Find out what our favourites and least favourites are, and how Rob gets out of a burning building with more toys than Paul, Stephen, and Cujo combined.

    Yo Joe!

    GI Joburg Episode 82: Choose Your Own Adventure Mar 05, 2017

    Ever wanted to meet up with three pals, assemble your troops, brief them on a perilous mission and then let the adventure begin? Yeah. Us too. But [sigh]... adulting. Well, GI Joburg is gonna bring you four missions where one of us briefs, the other assembles the troops and equipment and together we weave the plot! Don't judge. It's how grown-ups play with their action figures.

    Also, Mike Zeck comes under an artist spotlight with some inside info from Cujo;

    We do a righteous Postbox: The Pit section where a handful of your mail is discussed;

    And our definitive sculpt section deals with none other than the Battle Android Trooper!

    Awesome.

    GI Joburg Episode 81: Strydent! Feb 17, 2017

    Introducing STRYDENT! An impromtu Skype call between Paul and Steve and a GI Joe super fan from the States called Ewart morphed very quickly into a GI Joe conversation worth putting into the world. We talk about what we'd do if we were calling the shots in Hasbro; the debate around being a vintage collector, modern era collector, or both; and Doctor Doom! Yep. Doctor Doom.

    GI Joburg Episode 80: Fixing BF2K Feb 08, 2017

    Battle Force: 2000. It's a broken concept. Whether it's the figure design; the characters and their representation; the vehicles; the gimmick... it's fair to say that these guys missed the mark somewhere along the line. So with the advantage of hindsight, GI Joburg undertake to fix BF2K. How can we make these toys desirable? How do we make sense of GI Joe's "Soldiers of the Future"? Is it even possible? Hit 'play'!

    Also, expect much gushery over our new custom figures.

    Much.

    GI Joe Cartoon Commentary Episode 1: The Cobra Strikes Jan 18, 2017

    GI Joburg Episode 79: Rogue One Jan 09, 2017

    Happy 2017 GI Joburg friends! We did it last year with The Force Awakens, so we guess it's a tradition now! But hey, don't we have Star Wars to thank for our beloved GI Joe toyline after all? Rogue One tops the agenda. We talk toys, the film, even a bit of conspiracy theory. Black-clad action figures feature in our definitive sculpt section. And of course, a little bit of the indomitable Carrie Fisher.

    "General? To me she's royalty."

    GI Joburg Episode 78: Lonely Joes Dec 16, 2016

    Seasons Greetings from GI Joburg! And in this Yuletime we take a break from liquor-soaked family gatherings to speak about Joes in isolation... Who is indeed the loneliest operative? Our definitive sculpt discussion kicks us off with Joe's premier survivalist, Outback. And just for kicks, we throw in our top five single seater, small vehicle list.

    Enjoy in a group.

    Or like Han.

    Solo.

    GI Joburg Episode 77: Letters Page Nov 25, 2016

    Introducing POSTBOX: THE PIT. We've recieved some terrific correspondence since we've started out. It's time we published a letters' page. This could become a regular thing. And for our definitive sculpt we're talking one-eyed soldiers. ARRRRRR. There be parallel universes, HAVOC and Cross Country appreciation, discussions of poor ol' Storm Shadow's allegiances, we talk Tombstone and the new releases... it's a furious hour and some change. Enjoy! And don't forget to write us...

    GI Joburg Episode 76: Resident Evil Oct 29, 2016

    Resident Evil. We're doing Resident Evil. Because we all love it so and it's now twenty years old! We talk GI Joe zombies for our definitive sculpt section, do a Joe recast of the ill-fated S.T.A.R.S team, indulge in GI Joe/Resident Evil nostalgia, and swap tales of survival horror...

    GI Joburg Episode 74: Arise, Serpentor, Arise! Part 5 Sep 19, 2016

    Time to wrap up our five-part breakdown of Arise, Serpentor, Arise! There is no MASS Device. No Weather Dominator. Or Pyramid of Darkness. Only an all-out assault on the Capitol. It's been emotional. We've lost some troops along the way. Let's close this out with commentary, debate, high's, low's, and a definitive sculpt section devoted to everyone's favourite balaclava'd Ranger - it's Beach Head!

    GI Joburg Episode 73: Arise, Serpentor, Arise! Part 4 Sep 18, 2016

    It's the penultimate episode of Arise, Serpentor, Arise! And we all agree that this is very much a high water mark for the series. Action. Pathos. Horror. All await in this installment. That, and a meatball monster. And if that isn't enough sales pitch, Hawk is under consideration in our definitive sculpt section. Check it out!

    GI Joburg Episode 72: Arise, Serpentor, Arise! Part 3 Sep 17, 2016

    GI Joe is on the ropes! Their salvation lies in the hands of one man, the greatest soldier of our time, SERGEANT SLAUGHTER! But Cobra has plans of their own for the Sarge, and in this review of Part 3 of Arise, Serpentor, Arise! only one thing is insured: Alexander the Great's tomb against the possibility of a fire... Wait, what?!?
    Zarana features in our definitive sculpt section in this episode.

    GI Joburg Episode 71: Arise, Serpentor, Arise! Part 2 Sep 16, 2016

    The continued adventures of GI Joburg cartoon reviews! Kick back as we recite one-liners, gawk at buff dentists, marvel at the Thunder Machine's whacky construction and more. Cobra!
    And in our definitive sculpt section, it's none other than the muscle-bound, dentist-gone-bad, Doctor Mindbender!

    Today, 30 years ago, the fourth and final Sunbow GI Joe cartoon miniseries first aired. GI Joburg puts the focus on this milestone event with special definitive sculpt discussions, and a blow by blow of all we love and secretly loathe about GI Joe's cartoon endeavors! Watch the 'toon (if you even need reminding!), and then put us in your earholes! Yo Joe!
    And considering the cast of the 'toon, we had to do a definitive sculpt section on Sergeant Slaughter. Had. To.

    GI Joburg Episode 69: Filling the Gaps Aug 30, 2016

    We're calling this episode: "Filling the Gap". In it, the GI Joburg team discuss Vehicles, Concepts, Equipment and Personnel that were essential to the world of GI Joe, but never made it into toy form. The definitive sculpt section also makes it's appearance... With a twist...

    And if you need another dose of GI Joe, check out "A Fallen Hero" on Cujo's podcast, 30 Minutes of Diabolical. http://squidnova.com/gijoe/
    GI Joburg Episode 68: Cobra Civil War Aug 10, 2016

    COBRA ISLAND CIVIL WAR. 'nuff said.

    GI Joburg Episode 67: Definitive Storm Shadow Jul 23, 2016

    The Hasbro Cinematic Universe is under the microscope in this episode. Will it rock? Will it suck? We also pick out our favourite Joe Con 2016 reveals, and weed out some less inspiring ones...

    GI Joburg Episode 65: Sunbow Top Episode Picks Jun 05, 2016

    We've been pretty harsh on Sunbow GI Joe cartoons in the past. It's a pretty big deal for a lot of Joe fans, so we thought we'd take a look at a few selected episodes to find the love. Did we succeed? Tune in; find out...

    Also, details on Paul and Cujo's new music venture are hinted at; and the recent spate of superhero flicks come under fire. Yo Joe!
    GI Joburg Episode 64: FSS 4.0 May 02, 2016

    Been a while since we talked toys. Comics and cartoons are all fine and well, but action figures, vehicles, and playsets take the focus back in this episode where the boys crack open their elusive top 5 toys that have evaded capture. They run down their wishlist of toys they're still on the hunt for; and dip their toes into the Hasbro Cinematic Universe concept. Figure Subscription Service 4.0, also comes under fire... *ahem*... receives some focus.

    GI Joburg Episode 52: Crossovers Apr 15, 2016

    Join Paul, Steve, and Rob as we discuss crossovers, who would win in a fight between Snake Eyes and Iron Fist, and generally have fun talking about comics, brainwashing, and Larry Hama's birthday!

    GI Joburg Episode 63: Choose Your Own Adventure Mar 24, 2016

    GI Joburg Episode 60: Resolute Oct 26, 2015

    For our sixtieth outing, GI Joburg takes a look at something we've been itching to discuss since we started out - GI Joe: Resolute. It came out of nowhere and blew us all away. Or did it? Spin this (very) bumper episode for an extremely in-depth look at the show that took the 'toon out of cartoon... and replaced it with bullets, blades and bombs. Yo Joe!

    GI Joburg Episode 59 "Knotting Cobra's Coils" Sep 21, 2015

    In the final installment of our five part Pyramid Of Darkness tribute, GI Joburg speaks a little about the 'toon... but mainly just take swipes at its writer, Ron Friedman. Rant alert. You have been warned...

    GI Joburg Episode 58 "Chaos In The Sea Of Lost Souls" Sep 19, 2015

    McGuffins abound! Laser Rings! Star Fly's! MASK Crusaders! Flashy Cobra Symbols! And who can forget THE ROBOTOPUSS?!

    GI Joburg Episode 57 "Three Cubes To Darkness" Sep 18, 2015

    GI Joburg tackles another listener-suggested topic. This time we discuss the merits and potential membership of a special GI Joe unit made up of former Cobra operatives! And not a mention of Mercer.
    But there's more to this fertile topic than meets the eye. Which Cobra's would likely make up the team? Would such a scheme even work? Who would oversee them? Do GI Joe's civilian identities 'die' when joining the team? Which Joes are likely to turn traitor? Does anyone do 'silent' dio stories? It's all here...

    GI Joburg Episode 39: "In The Cobra's Pit" Sep 10, 2014

    Today 30 years ago GI Joe: The Revenge Of Cobra aired for the first time. You may of course know it by it's street name: 'The Weather Dominator'. The five-part miniseries followed almost exactly a year to the day on the heels of the first GI Joe miniseries, The Adventures Of GI Joe. Or 'Mass Device'. It would appear Sunbow and Marvel had managed trap lightening in a bottle. With new characters, new weapons and equipment and superb production, she's as worthy a topic to podcast as any.

    GI Joburg Episode 37 Aug 20, 2014

    Everybody has elements of GI Joe they dislike. Everybody. For Rob, it’s the Dreadnoks. For Paul, Battleforce: 2000 gets his ire; for Steve, mention of the D.E.F makes him vomit in his mouth a little. The challenge for episode 37? Try and say something nice about these personal peeves.

    Try.

    Try real hard.

    Also, Paul gets acquainted with his 50th anniversary Night Viper and airs his nitpicks.

    And remember: real heroes don’t do drugs.

    GI Joburg Episode 30 Jan 04, 2014

    Jeeps. GI Joe has a fair number of them. Some of them sporting spring-loaded missile-firing action, or colour-change features, or packaged with a dinosaur... but they are all enduring and fun toys. From series one of A Real American Hero to Retaliation and beyond, the simple joy of loading up a vehicle with figures and crushing some rough terrain is something all fans share. But it begs the question: Which GI Joe combat jeep is the finest of the lot?
    The debate rages...

    Flying Hairdryers; split-apart aircraft; colour-changing jeeps; tanks that turn into helicopters; bouncing ballistic battle balls...
    GI Joe: A Real American Hero was a toyline with a healthy dose of off-the-wall toy concepts. But some of the craziest ideas to be found actually have some basis in reality. Paul, Rob and Steve showcase three concepts that straddle the gap between science fiction and science fact.

    GI Joburg Episode 28 Nov 11, 2013

Lot's of question marks in that blurb... tune in. Find answers.

    GI Joburg Episode 13 Aug 10, 2012

    For most of us, GI Joe began with the most posable, well-equipped, 3 3/4 inch modern action figures. With swivel-arm battle-grip and snap-on, stay-on accessories, A Real American Hero set the gold standard for action figures for almost three decades with more or less the same basic construction. We all have our favourites and in this episode Paul, Rob and Steve roll off their top fives and also examine how well they have translated into the modern-era. Much talk of purple helmets, crotch shaving and elephant girlfriends ensues.

They also address the plethora of Joe Convention images and Paul offloads about the his in-hand Retaliation wave 1 figures. Rob threatens to walk out of Retaliation, Steve has bouts of hysterics and Paul bitches about the lack of figure stands. Often.

    GI Joburg Episode 10 Jun 11, 2012

    The GI Joburg fellas share their views on GI Joe: Retaliation's new release date. If you have been living under a rock, be warned that a spoiler may ensue.

Joe originator Larry Hama touch turn to gold? Paul, Rob and Steve share their views on the man and his contribution to our hobby. Yo Joe!
