Order of Battle Podcast episode 68 Alexander and Jason sit down with Carson Mataxis, Curator and archivist of www.3DJoes.com to discuss his new project Operation: Recall. This project combines the legendary Hasbro Design team of Kirk Bozigian: Brand Manager and VP of Boys Toys, Ron Rudat: Figure and Vehicle Designer, Mark Pennington: Figure and Vehicle Designer, Doug Hart: Packaging Painter, Ed Morrill: Branding and Packaging Partner, Bill Merklein: Contract Sculptor, and Marvel's own Larry Hama: Comic Book Author. They partnered with Carson's archivist and project management skills to pull in over 170 character design ideas from over 100 GIJoe and Toy collector communities. Now the 16 Creative Designers and this legendary design team are doing a Kickstarter to fund an 80's GIJoe style 3.75” O-ring action figure toy line! Carson breaks down how this idea was formed through his own 1989 idea, Retelo, how it grew into a full production run, sharing the stage with Creative Designer submissions, and how A fits into it all. You can back the Kickstarter right now, fund for one figure or all 18, or more! The more this funds, the more figures get released with this first production run. Support the legendary design team and support the community's own Creative Designers. I hope you enjoy the talk and take action!

What better way is there to look back at the 2010s (aka The WOJM Decade) than with our tribute to the running jokes that have fueled our discussions since 2011? It was impossible to catch everything, but hopefully your favorites will show up somewhere in this well-placed tribute to the most overbearing running joke in the English language, the number 69. Mike, Joe, and an ironically-debuting Wristlock Wes Whitlock invite you to enjoy the end of the WOJM Decade with a complete lack of class but good intentions and lots of love! We'll catch you again in 2020... the start of The WOJM Decade Part II: Electric Boogaloo! Special thanks to the talent heard on this episode: Erik Arana, Chuck Averitt, Justin Bell, Michael Bell, Jared Bunnell, Jon M. Chu, Joe Colton, Brian Cummings, Sara Detrick, Ryan Drost, Chuck Emanuele, Shannon Gallant, Gary Godsoe, George Greenoe, Larry Hama, Gary Head, Zack Hoffman, Eddie Inman, Mike Irizarry, Rob Irizarry, Jamie Johnson, James Kavanaugh, Carson Mataxis, Chris McLeod, Kate McLeod, Craig Moore, Johnny Pottorf, Bill Ratner, Kevin Michael Richardson, Neil Ross, Hawk Sanders, Brian Savage, Greg Schueller, David Tree, Brian Tudor, Bobby Vala, Page Wagner, Kevin Watts, and Mark Weber, and a shout out to everyone else who has made making this show so much fun!
Congratulations to WOJM co-host Carson Mataxis on his marriage! Carson's nuptials force Mike and Joe to record alone as they wrap up their experiences from Joefest weekend. Joe pitches a new YouTube show for the WOJM channel, Mike provides tales from his time as an accidental storm chaser, and the intrepid hosts cover any experience that wasn't recorded in an On The Spot segment. It's another hour of fun, frolic, nostalgia, and constructive criticism in the Wondrous WOJM Way!

You're in for a deep dive of knowledge this week as my guest is the curator of www.3DJoes.com Carson Mataxis! He is a graphic designer and multimedia marketing specialist, who has curated a wonderful collection of the entire archive of G.I. Joe artwork in his books, Collecting the Art of G.I. Joe! Together we talk Joe history and see how Cobra Commander not only gets his Battle Armor, but also the origins of Pythonization! Our Filecard Feature is on the Alley Viper!
Ep 117 G.I. JOE - I got to talk with Carson Mataxis about his Kickstarter, Collecting the art of G.I. Joe: Volumes 5 and 6 (1990-1994).

Mike and Joe are joined by Carson Mataxis from 3DJoes.com and Maggie Cogan of The Finest to review the news and chat about the holidays. Along the way, our hearts grew three sizes, and we all gained some respect for Joe's mom, The Little Immigrant. Enjoy! (Opening/closing themes thanks of Funky Butt Brass Band!)
ZOMG!!! What is this?! WOJM content has been posted that isn't either Football or Boss Fight related?! It is a joyous day!! Yes, yes, with the site of JoeCon 2016 just being announced, I guess now is just as good of a time to post the audio from our live show from JoeCon 2015 in Springfield. Joining us on stage that day was a near who-who of published (or soon to be) GI Joe authors. When you mention author on our show, you can't go too far in thought without Noted Author James Kavanaugh coming to mind. James joins us once again to talk about his new (at the time) RAHC Rank & File Guide! We also have Tim Finn join us to talk about his work in progress: A Real American Book! Next we are joined by Carson Mataxis (who is really wanting that 4th chair with us) and his new book: Collecting the Art of GI Joe, Vol 1. All of these authors and their books, its like the Opra show...without the free stuff under your seat!! Lastly, Brian Cummings impromptly (is that a word?) joins us on stage in a quick follow up to our earlier interview with him. Its a whole lotta info smashed into less than an hour! We'll have another real episode very soon, we promise. Thanks for listening!
