THE HANDSOME GENIUS CLUB RADIO SHOW is back for another amazing episode. Today, we welcome the father of the modern G.I. Joe franchise, LARRY HAMA to the show. With "The Rise of Cobra" in theaters, "Resolute" on television screens and IDW's new comic book series on store shelves, HGC Radio thinks it's time to get the facts about G.I. Joe from the man who knows (and knowing is half the battle).

With Mr. Greg Berndtson in attendance at the 2009 G.I.Joe Collectors Club Convention, many old & new fans alike were excited to see test shots of some of the "what could have been" items from the G.I.Joe Universe.

Earlier today, we received our wish as Hasbro displayed several items that woulda/coulda/shoulda been in the G.I.Joe line.

Displayed were:

• G.I.Joe Train (Including elements from both the G.I.Joe Thunderclap & G.I.Joe Rolling Thunder and G.I.Joe Battle Wagon, this is one bad locomotive!), SAAB Viggen Jet, a G.I.Joe Hammer with the Equalizers Turret system and a sketch of the Cobra MAGGOT
