Andrei Koribanics freelanced for Hasbro in the mid-1980s. Besides today’s Borer art, I’ve also come across a figure concept by him (that may end up in Chapter 14 of my book) and the presentation painting of Sgt. Slaughter’s Renegades (in Chapter 6). Leaky Suit Brigade has a tiny interview with Koribanics, and should have a longer one up at some point.

Sorry for the delay in announcing a winner of the giveaway. To make up for the delay, I decided to make two winners, and giveaway two figures! I just drew the names of all those who liked the Blog and Phillip Brown and and Gary Godsoe are the winners! Of course one of them had to be a self proclaimed “joelebrity.” Haha.
Since this is my first contest/giveaway and it is the Leaky Suit Brigade, you both have won MLC Toxo Vipers! Please contact me with your addresses and I’ll ship your figures right away.
Since this seemed to be pretty successful, I will be giving away two more figures at 100 likes. And this time they won’t be Toxo Vipers, I’ve got to keep army building them, not give them all away!
CBR has a great interview up with Chuck Dixon talking about the upcoming IDW GI Joe Special Missions book. There is also a couple of exclusive preview pages from #1 there as well.
So I kinda missed the boat on these. They were released for sale on Friday, but I was celebrating the birthday weekend and didn’t have much time. Not picking them up as they are in the same set with the Scarlett that I passed on. Snake Eyes and Duke complete the trio. There is the standard print (pictured) as well as variants of each. If you want them, I’d act now or eBay will be the only place to grab them.
I heard about the movie announcement but didn’t connect the dots. There could be some potential here.
For a few years there have been rumblings of a new Jurassic Park movie, including awful hybrid dinosaur people. Right along as movie fans tracked the progress that would eventually lead to the new new announcement earlier today has been a set of G.I.Joe based toys that did not see released. You can find more out more about them on Joe Declassified.
Could this offer another chance for Hasbro to get this out to consumers? possibly as an exclusive with Toys R Us as previously rumored? Or will Hasbro be happy with having used the new tooling (heads) in the BBTS exclusive packs from last year ?
Let us know your thoughts here.
Just had my birthday, so I have a few new things to post up. In addition, we ave reached 35 “likes” on Facebook, so the contest is live and I will be drawing the name of a winner in the coming days.
More news to follow in another post later today.
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 2,300 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 4 years to get that many views.
So I got a little behind with the holidays. But I have a lot of new stuff to throw up that I got for Christmas. I’ll be posting that stuff later tonight.
REMINDER: If you want to enter a contest for a free MLC vintage ARAH GI Joe “like” Leaky Suit Brigade on Facebook. Right now we are 2 likes away from the contest happening.
SL Gallant’s penicls for the cover of ARAH 188!
Since they’ve posted Larry Hama’s sketch, and my final version of the cover for 188 over at Newsarama, I thought I’d go ahead and show off my pencils— for those with any interest. Enjoy.
Sorry for the long break, but the holidays have made it harder to post. But I have several updates to make. Got a lot of new stuff in for Xmas and general buys.
I’ll start posting new stuff tomorrow as well and some news.
