2016 G.I. JOE LINEUP ALMOST REVEALED

News Comments Off

Jun 042016

Looks like we are going to see some new Joes and Cobras at JoeCon this year!

Just announced on Hasbro’s Pulse;

Fans Challenged With Hintless Crossword Puzzle

Hasbro is gearing up for the 2016 G.I. Joe series, and Hasbro Pulse is excited to host an intriguing peek at the first brand-endorsed look at the entire line. 2016 will kick off with an exclusive set (available at San Diego Comic Con) and then a series available exclusively at Toys R Us and Entertainment Earth. The eighteen figures slated for 2016 are all arranged in the crossword puzzle below, including the Kindle Worlds Fan Choice figure Stiletto – the only character previously announced in this year’s lineup. The rest of the puzzle is up to the fans to fill in, and NONE of the names have been given any clues or hints.

We realize that offering up a crossword puzzle with zero name hints is pretty rough, but we’re certain that even obscure hints would get sniffed out quickly by our diehard Joe collectors. Instead, fans have a chance to collaborate and discuss before the correct puzzle is revealed this year at the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Convention in Loveland, Colorado. Come to the Hasbro Brand Panel on Saturday, June 18^th to see the puzzle revealed and also get your first peek at the G.I. Joe prototype figures for 2016!

From the desk of Kaedryl:

“Interesting post from facebook… Mark Weber has been on the Transformers team at Hasbro for several years. He recently changed his facebook profile and posted the following:

‘”Lots of positions being switched at Hasbro in the wake of our acquisition of the Disney Princesses and Frozen franchises. After 2.5 years of working with the wonderful folks on the Transformers team, I was given the opportunity to help re-imagine and re-launch the G.I. Joe brand. Thanks to all my friends on the TF team – I had so much fun working with you!’

Street/Sewer Dio by Cobra Oner

Customs, News Comments Off

Aug 312014

So I had this idea for a diorama that my Joes and Cobras could be photographed in/on, but the only skills I possess when it comes to building is Popsicle sticks. Luckily that is where CobraOner came in with his incredible talent and artistic ability and created a masterpiece. I came up with a sketch I had in mind of a shoebox size diorama where the street is the top of the box and the bottom part is a sewer. CobraOner was able to take my idea and make it into what you see in front of you. I can’t wait to get this piece in my basement and start setting up some scenes for all of you. Thank you again to CobraOner for turning my simple sketch into a diorama for the ages! -Lowlight27

Eagle Force Returns in 2015

News Comments Off

Aug 252014

For those of you that remember Eagle Force from the early 80’s; well they are coming back in 2015 and according to Generalsjoes.com, “modern era G.I. Joe fans should be very pleased by the outcome!”

If you are not familar with these figures, well they were these Mask size toys that were metallic and individual characters for people to collect.

Eagle Force was created by the US Goverment to tackle R.I.O.T ( Roving International Organization of Tyranny). a terrorist organization that was driven by world domination. Eagle Force was assembled from the finest of the US armed forces. Led by Captain Eagle,the eye patched Eagle commanded a group of military experts with codenames such as Big Bro’, Harley, Turk and The Cat. R.I.O.T was lead by the evil General Mamba and his henchmen Savitar the Ninja and the evil Arsonist Beta Man. Like G.I. Joe, Eagle Force used comic book adventures to market the line, beautfully illustrated, the Eagle Force line was created by Paul Kirchner a known Heavy Metal contributor. The then 29 year old Kirchner beautifully fleshed out the characters originally envisioned by Mego VP Bill Baron as being the “Screaming Eagles”. http://www.megomuseum.com/misc/eagleforce.shtml

For updates keep your eyes peeled to the Eagle Force Returns Facebook page and get ready for some awesome news!

Vortious Custom Accessories Opens Shop on OG13!

Customs, News, Spotlight Comments Off

Aug 192014

That’s right, one of the most talented casters out there has invited the members of OG13 to visit his store, http://vortiouscustomaccessories.ecrater.com/

One thing that sets Vortious apart from the other casters is that, ” I’ve mastered the hidden peg technique, so with the exception of a couple of items (usually too large to be done effectively, or efficiently) the hinge jointed parts you order from my store don’t need to have pegs pushed into a hole, and come assembled (the hinge joint only). Also I’m the guy who bought the parts that Stocos had, so any of the items that disappeared when Stocos shut down you’ll find in my store. ”

So join us in welcoming Vortious to our family and place an order today!

G.I. Joe III Gets a Writer and the Movie Will Heavily Focus on…

Entertainment Comments Off

Jul 012014

According to Variety Magazine, Paramount has hired a writer to take over the production set to begin early next year. The film will also focus heavily on the Rock who has just signed back up along with Adrianne Palicki.

From the Variety Website:

Justin Kroll

Film Reporter @krolljvar

“With the next installment in the “G.I. Joe” series set to bow in 2016, Paramount has now found the scribe who will pen the third entry in the popular franchise.

Jonathan Lemkin is set to write “G.I. Joe 3.” This marks the second deal Lemkin has closed for the studio as he is also set to pen “The Longest Night” for the studio, based on the GQ article, with Frank Marshall on board to direct.

Most of the cast, including Dwayne Johnson and Adrianne Palicki, are expected to return with Lorenzo di Bonaventura producing. It was initially thought that Jon Chu would return to direct, but as of now he’s not attached to the pic.

Plot details are vague right now but sources say this installment is expected to revolve around Johnson’s character Roadblock, who was introduced in the last installment and soon became a fan favorite.

The idea is to get the film into production by the second quarter of 2015 so that it can make the 2016 release date.

Paramount still views the franchise as a major priority after “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” brought in more than $370 million at the worldwide box office.

Lemkin has worked with di Bonaventura several times in the past. He previously adapted “Shooter,” starring Mark Wahlberg, and the two also worked together during di Bonaventura’s tenure at Warner Brothers, where Lemkin wrote “Devil’s Advocate” and “Lethal Weapon 4.”

Boss Fight Studio’s Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. Action Figures

Customs, News Comments Off

Jun 042014

Boss Fight Studios are the designers behind many of the Modern G.I. Joe Figures and now they are branching off to create their own line of Highly Articulated Character Kit System. To get started they have created a Kickstarter campaign and need the support of the community to get these awesome figures out into the world. Their first series is based off Greek Mythology.

These seem to be more marketed toward the Custom Builder Community, but can certainly be enjoyed by any collector out there!

Our First Figures: Greek Warriors and Gorgons!

The theme for our first assortment of Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. action figures is Greek mythology. We were very excited by the huge scope of these particular mythos. Our plan is to release an initial wave of four figures, plus several exclusives.

Alphasnake’s custom paint job completed

Customs Comments Off

May 172014

A couple of months ago I saw that Alphasnake was looking for someone to help with painting some customs he was building and here is our journey…

It started with his W.I.P.s

They were sent to me with instructions and I got to work, really honing my skills as a painter, especially with the heads and eyes.

The end results,

My favorite customs of the day…

Customs Comments Off

May 172014

This is a very biased opinion, but I feel these customs are the embodiment of great customs that I’ve seen today!

ECO-Force BBQ by JPNX

Now I know that this was from yesterday, but I think it’s awesome the way he brought out the design and color of the original figure and gave it a really cool modern look…

Next is Desert Grunt by Porcupunker

I love the combination of parts, especially the pouches on the vest. The head is a great choice and the paint wash gives it a realistic look.

Third is Vega Customs V4 Sgt. Slaughter. I like the blend of color washes and the Sarge looks Jacked and ready to tear some heads off those snakes!
