Episode 251: The Joes The Cartoon Missed

GI Joburg ·

2022/05/30

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! Got something to say to GI Joburg? We can be reached at

Episode 250: Rob’s New Toys

GI Joburg ·

2022/05/23

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!

Episode 247: When Toys Age Badly

GI Joburg ·

2022/04/25

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?!? Got something to say to GI Joburg?
