Audible Interlude: A GI Joe Podcast

New York Comic Con 2026 Toy News & Highlights Join Dave, Kristian, and Noel as they run down the newest GI Joe updates!

This episode was recorded LIVE on the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Needless Things YouTube channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on 12-OCT-2026. Be sure to subscribe for updates on the next livestream!

The Audible Interlude crew dives into a packed slate of G.I. Joe news, reveals, and collector debates. Dave, Noel, and Kristian discuss the highs and frustrations of crowdfunding, react to Blokees’ Energon Universe-inspired Starscream and H.I.S.S. Tank mashup, preview the upcoming 3DJoes field guides, and celebrate the newly announced Dark Horse guide to the G.I. Joe Classified Series.

Then it’s time to break down the latest Classified reveals, including Night Force Sneak Peek, Daina, Flatline, Hardball, Shipwreck, HEAT Viper, and the G.I. Joe: The Movie retro lineup. The team weighs nostalgia against modern design, debates rising prices and preorder fatigue, and considers what makes a figure truly feel like G.I. Joe—or a Dreadnok. Plus: Kickstarter communication, Polly controversy, Billy Kessler, Ninja Force Storm Shadow, and the usual off-topic chaos that makes Audible Interlude the most fun you can have talking about G.I. Joe.

Knowing is half the battle and fun is the other half! We're recruiting you to listen to this podcast hosted by three lifelong Joe fans.

Our mission is to look at every era of GI Joe from the classic 12" Joes to today's modern Classified Series. From toys to comics to cartoons, the A.I. Pod is there! Yo Joe!

The Audible Interlude crew dives into a flood of new G.I. Joe product, preorder roulette, rising figure prices, shipping mishaps, and one very spontaneous on-air Destro purchase. Then it’s all hands on deck for a Rank and File Card deep dive into Shipwreck, revealing just how skilled—and dangerous—G.I. Joe’s favorite sailor really is. Finally, “Goggle Logic” puts the franchise’s most necessary, ridiculous, and surprisingly defensible eyewear under the microscope, with stops at Snow Serpent, Low-Light, Desert Scorpion, Viper, Frostbite, and more. Plus: Polly theories, Toys “R” Us skepticism, Anthrax appreciation, and plenty of collector chaos.
