GI Joburg (GI Joe)

Videogaming was undeniably an influence to the way we played with our toys. In this episode, the crew discusses a handful of key games and they way they shaped their GI Joe adventures.

169 is filled to the brim! So much so, we invited JD Onesi from the General Geekery podcast to help lift the load. We pay our respects to the late master, Hector Garrido, packaging artist for the initial toys and one of the key men instrumental in making GI Joe the most enduring toyline of all time. We get JD's honest opinion on the 6" line of Joes. And we reopen a debate that has raged previously on the pod: is the Pyramid of Darkness junk or gem?!

Selected episodes of the classic Joe cartoon are currently available FREE on Hasbro's YouTube account. So relive the adventure with us!

GI Joburg sits down to chat to the latest name in GI Joe Playmotion filmmaking: MIKE THE HUNTER!

Plus we launch an attack on episode 4 of Renegades "Dreadnoks Rising" and "Cobra Stops The World" from the classic Sunbow series.

You familiar with the Top Trumps card game? Yes? No? Well you're about to be! GI Joburg's resident gamer has devised a game of Top Trumps using the Motorized Vehicle and Action Packs from the late 80's! Deliciously obscure. Totally fun.

Rob has unfinished business! Thanks to the bloody power outages plaguing South Africa, Rob has been unable to participate in some key GI Joburg debate and discussion! But no longer!

We're going to get into his favourite year of GI Joe and why it is a contender to beat all others. Plus we chat weird collecting urges and what Rob's Joes get up to on their downtime.

If you'd like some contrasting opinions to Rob's, look no further than this awesome debate Paul and Steve had with the RetroBlasting crowd over on the Analog Toys YouTube channel as part of Iconicon 2022! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MltlhIhb4A&t=3717s

Is that title for real?! You betcha! It's an episode so jam-packed, we needed to call in backup! We share some VERY candid responses to the recently unveiled GI Joe "Retro" Collection; our pal Jake is back to do a live unboxing of a Classified Series 6" figure; and Corbra Lang joins us to discuss the most incredible new ninja slasher flick you're likely to see in 2020! A Tale Of Two Ninja is now available to watch on the GI Joburg Special Forces platform here!

 

If it's the BL^CK BOOK you're looking for, reach out to Cujo here: cujo86@gmail.com

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?!?

It's on everyone's lips, so the time has come to have the six inch GI Joe chat. Opinions differ, and this is going to be an ongoing saga for sure, but here's how the GI Joburg lads break on the subject.

 

Also, The boys chat the GI Joe: War On Cobra mobile game; Steve has a mess of Street Fighter II figures that require discussion; and he may or may not have escaped China without the dreaded Cornavirus...

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. Is this a misstep?

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?!

We're also going to take a look at the newest miniseries from Skybound - Destro Issue 1... aaaand ARAH 307...

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.

*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!

Presenting a very special installment of our vehicle battle debates, this time we pit different decos of the same vehicles against one another to see which version of notorious Joe or Cobra vehicles would reign supreme in a fantasy showdown! We also discuss all six inches of Destro and welcome friend of GI Joburg Bart Simon onto the show! Steve has a full set of Impel GI Joe cards and loooooves the write-ups on the back, and the lockdown shenanigans continue with illicit deals for smokes and toys!

The boys are joined by Aussie BurgForce member Darren, codename "Railroad" to discuss one of his favourite Battle Action Force stories.

Cobra bases on the moon? Starfighter pilots that can fly at "quasar velocities"? An Empire of alien life forms attacking GI Joe?

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.

In our 172nd outing we welcome Corbra Lang to the playmotion/stopmotion fold! After the release of his epic showdown "RAGING STORM" on the GI JOBURG YouTube channel, and on the eve of releasing the even more epic "SNAKEBITE" film this coming weekend (05/30/2020), we wanted to get the scoop from the creator of these awesome adventures. Using a mix of techniques including green screen, stop motion, and even a talking pet animation mobile application (!!!) this Canadian fella is one of the pioneers of this new way of playing with your toys.

 

Dare I say a new artform?

 

I dare! 

 

Plus Steve's got a new toy, we sink our teeth into the recent artwork reveals surrounding the 6" Joe, and address a terrific listener question we missed from last ep.

Cujo joins the squad this week with some sad tidings: the passing of two Joe artists - Mark Bright and Ed Piskor.

We'll take a look at the penultimate issue of Duke from Skybound; And discuss the surprise reveal of the Ghostbuster o-ring figures from Hasbro.

Plus our Joe Photography showcase segment is growing with some listener submissions this week!
