Phew!

I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to everyone that came by our booth at the show in New Orleans this past weekend. Not only was it a welcome back for co-founder Darren Howlett, but we expanded for the first time into 2 booths, gave out 200 copies of the Joe Declassified Brazil issue, and a Hasbro internal sculpting video on DVD. Not too shabby.
Of course, not of that would at all be possible without each and everyone one of you who came by the booth, talked with us, are members on the board, or donated money. Thank you, you make it worth it.

Joe Declassifed staffer has done it again.

Yep, that’s T’ginzu, as a repaint of the Storm Shadow from the very soon to hit discount store figures. Check out a few more pictures below, and see all of them here. And… who’s that guy with the necklace?
(more…)

New member and international jet-setter Dave Tree has been kind enough to show off a few awesome pieces of concept artwork of unproduced Action Force toys.

To see what he has posted and chime in, head here.

Is up! You can either follow the “Podcast” tab at the top or the link at the bottom.
Clocking in at over two hours and armed with a mighty 100-plus images, we conjure up:

- an unproduced ARBCO play set!

- an unproduced version of General Hawk!

- confirm the answer to the mostly-unanswered 25 year old mystery of Low-Light’s leg!

- and we use our crystal ball to peer into where the past meets the future as we bring you in-hand images of the unreleased 30th Anniversary Night-Viper and Crimson Guard who are slated for resurrection in Wave 5 of Retaliation! (more…)

There’s only one good way to wrap up this focus on foreign Joe paratroopers (yes, I know Airborne wasn’t a paratrooper per se), and that’s to showcase some of the more noticeable foreign figures that fly through the sky. And when it comes to the air, the sky is owned by Sky Patrol – in this case: Albatroz and Aquia Comando

Aguia Comando is, simply put, one of the better kit-bashed figures to hail from foreign shores. As part of the Joe contingent of “Patrulha do Ar,” He applies an excellent paint scheme (especially by Sky Patrol standards), and is an amalgam of previously used parts. His chest and arms were both borrowed from the Maverick figure, while the rest of him hails from Sneak-Peek.

(more…)

Once again, there’s only one clear choice when you receive new carded figures from a foreign country: Open them and take lots of pictures. We’ll dispense with the flowery language, and get right doen to the good stuff: Alado (Crazylegs) and Condor(Airborne) from Argentina.

Condor

Not to be outdone by Sokerk, Fuego from Argentina has to put in an appearance. Fuego is a repaint of the Ripcord figure from the U.S. line, complete with the accessories sharing the same mold. Both his weapon and backpack are also different colors than the American release.

More after the jump.

Declassified staff member Gyre-Viper has done it again. This episode, he and Patrick Stewart take an in-depth look into the cancelled Nano-BAT, Iron Klaw, and more!
