Write-ups compliments of Cobra Commander leads an invasion into the former nation of Borovia, now Borigia/ Krazny-Marengo. A pair of Vipers have captured Magda and the White Clown. President Metz promises them a fair trial, put Cobra Commander shoots and kills them. In Trans-Carpathia, Zartan, Destro and Baroness watch the happenings in the neigh- boring Borigia/Krazny-Marengo, when Billy arrives at the castle. Dr. Mindbender explains to Cobra Com- mander that he has placed implants in both Destro and Zartan allowing them to be placed under Cobra’s control. The sight of Cobra Commander’s unmasked face activates these implants. In New Jersey, Zarana returns to the Dreadnoks and rides off into the night with them. Destro, Zartan, Baroness and Billy are having dinner when Cobra Commander inter- rupts, showing them his face. In Trans-Carpathia, Destro and Zartan are now back under the control of Cobra due to Dr. Mindbender’s implants. Baroness and Billy attempt to escape, but are captured when Destro transforms the castle, drop- ping them out of their hiding places. Cobra Commander debates which nation he should attack next, and Destro sug- gests Wolkekuckuckland, for it’s bank- ing and an industrial base, which could be converted to produce Cobra weapons. Hawk and Stalker are in Wolkekuck- uckland, serving as military advisors for General Liederkranz and his assistant Wolfgang. Liederkranz explains that he is worried, as Cobra has taken over Bo- rovia, which is only two countries away.

  • 1 OBJECTS of AFFECTION: PRODUCING and CONSUMING TOYS and CHILDHOOD in CANADA, 1840-1989 by Braden P.L. Hutchinson, B.A. (Hons)
    OBJECTS OF AFFECTION: PRODUCING AND CONSUMING TOYS AND CHILDHOOD IN CANADA, 1840-1989 By Braden P.L. Hutchinson, B.A. (Hons), B.Ed., M.A. A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in History in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario September 2013 Copyright © Braden P.L. Hutchinson 2013 1 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the significance of toy production, distribution, marketing and consumption to Canadian understandings of childhood. Drawing on Patrick J. Ryan’s concept of the discursive landscape of modern childhood and Daniel Thomas Cook’s commercial persona of the child consumer, it explores the effect of toy controversies on a number of social, political and economic issues between the arrival of manufactured toys in Canada in the mid-nineteenth century and the rise of postindustrial capitalism. The toy industry, the social sciences, consumer activists and the Canadian state all played a pivotal role in raising the social significance attached to toy consumption. In the end, debates about toys highlighted popular manifestations of complex political and social issues by placing children and their material culture at the symbolic centre of “adult” conflicts. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A number of people have helped along the way to get this thesis before a committee. First and foremost I must thank my thesis supervisor, Dr. Karen Dubinsky, for her enthusiasm for the project, her wise counsel and her support. I was incredibly fortunate to have the pleasure of working with such an accomplished and down to earth scholar, whose keen editorial eye and encouragement helped make this thesis possible.

  • JOEDECLASSIFIED #00 PAGE 02 Behind the Scenes of the Rise of Cobra Film: My G.I
    JOEDECLASSIFIED #00 PAGE 02 Behind the Scenes of The Rise of Cobra film: My G.I. Joe Movie Experience By Josh “Antarctica” Eggebeen In 2008 I was just setting up a tent for a week-long camping trip along a California beach, when an Assistant Director I had worked with called me. As it normally happens in the film business, it was an afternoon call asking me to be to work early the next day for a film called “Dark Sky.” Right at that moment, I knew the camping trip was cancelled, because I had just been called to work on G.I. Joe the movie! (I had prior knowledge that “Dark Sky” was the working codename for the Joe film.) So after leaving the girlfriend I was supposed to be camping with at the campground, I began a three month job on what I consider to be one of the biggest highlights of my life; and would later help lead to some really amazing access when the movie was released. As with most film people, I started out volunteering for free on a little independent film called Kwik Stop, which turned into another job which turned into a career. I never intended to work in movies. I always loved going to the movie theater to watch them, but I never thought of it as career. How did it begin? I started in Chicago working as a Production Assistant (PA) on films such asHigh Fidelity, What Women Want, and Spider-Man 2. After a few years in Chicago, I moved to Los Angeles in 2002 and started working in the indepen- dent film world, doing jobs with titles like ‘Line Producer’, ‘Production Manager’, and ‘Assistant Director’ on films no one has heard of; never been released---or if they were, no one saw them.
