Episode 5: G.I. Joe Field Manual, Chapter One

Joes, Attenhut!

Once again, I'm alone in the Headcast Network studios as I bring you Bravo Team Episode 5: G.I. Joe Field Manual, Chapter One.

The Joes reporting for duty this month are (as I said):
Aaron Moss - Codename: Brother Head


That's right... Just me, alone in the Headcast Studio.

A couple of months ago, I ordered (from http://instocktrades.com), the G.I. Joe: Field Manual Vol 1. This month, I finally break it open and look at the first chapter, the Joes from A Real American Hero (the original G.I. Joe mini-series).



Come join me as I look at each character model in this first chapter.
