For those that don't know, below is a pitch for Season 3 of Sunbow G.I. Joe that never was due to DiC paying for the rights to produce the show. DiC G.I. Joe wasn't the best, but I thought the 5 part Operation Dragonfire felt close to the Sunbow episodes.Â
Â
G.I. Joe writer Buzz Dixon: Mike Hill, who was on staff at the time, made a brilliant proposal to send the Joes off after a somewhat new foe called The Coil for the never made Sunbow season three (there was a DIC season three, but they never bothered to ask for any input from me or Flint or Steve and frankly, we were just as glad). As I recall, Mike's idea was that following the Movie, Cobra would be shattered as a world-wide organization. Under the guidance of Tomax and Xamot, a new organization called The Coil (much more criminal in nature than military) would be formed, picking and choosing among the best of the surviving Cobra units. Cobra-La was utterly wiped out, no survivors, except for Cobra Commander, who would be slithering about in the background for the first half of season three as some sinister character of shifting alliances, then be revealed in severely mutated form in the second half. He would be playing the Joes and The Coil against one another in an attempt to destroy both and rebuild Cobra.
My two youngest and I have been on a joe kick.
I haven’t watched the sunbow ARH since the footlocker dvd set came out like 15-16 years ago. So we started our gi joe marathon. It was fun, went fast, great memories. Took little over a week to get through them, including the movie.
Â
Now, i have never seen the dic version other than the ugly toys, and vids on youtube making fun of it. Â So i bought both dvd sets while we watched the good version. It took almost 4 weeks to get through this crap. I love bad movies, and my wife cant stand half the stuff i buy to watch. Â But this, this just makes you miserable and angry. One of the worse looking cartoons of a big property that i have ever seen. The voice acting, trash. The designs, trash. Â Had hopes for it, since they actually continued the story line. But it went off the rails very fast.
We finished it up, and had to cleanse our eyeballs and mind, so we put in Resolute. Always loved this. Wanted a series , but at the same time, could they go that route without killing more important characters off? Doubt it, and if they didnt , it would just turn into the other versions.
Â
We are taking a week off, then will start Renegades next week. Never seen it, or heard anything about it. But looking at the artwork on the dvd sets, that look like kids drew this cartoon, i dont have high hopes for this.
Then we will watch the 3 live action movies. They’ve seen all 3 before, but don’t remember anything about them. They’re not even good bad movies. They just stink.
Â
still need to buy the cgi dvds of- Valor vs Venom, Spy Troops, Ninja Battles. Never seen any of them.

Then i think thats it, that you can actually own. I dont believe they ever put out Extreme , and Sigma 6 on dvd.
