At the head of this post you see our lightning-quick PopCult music video for last weekend’s Kentuckiana GI Joe Toy Expo in Louisville.  This is about six minutes of scenes from the toy show set to music by Sausage (AKA the original line-up of Primus).

This is not the only video we’ll be doing. The plan is to work on at least two more videos and a few more photo essays in the next week or two, but I wanted to get this out so you could get a taste of the terrific toy action.

I’m going to share just a few photos below. There will be more next week. Your humble blogger has to juggle prior committments with doctor appointments and other surprises, so in this case, your patience will be rewarded.

At least it will be rewarded more than impatience will be.

Over the next week or two we’ll have short videos devoted to a few special events and items tied to the show, pluse we’ll do the big “raw footage” video for you completists who want to see everything we shot. You can expect photo essays devoted to some awesome dioramas and the Defenders of Bulletman 25th anniversary display. I’ll also bring you photos of the people of the KYGIJoe show, and of course…the toys.

Here’s a quick sample….

The quiet before the storm at the ticket area.

Brian Becker representing the Defenders of Bulletman.

You will learn more about the D.O.B. next week.

Cindy Scott’s spectacular Bob Hope USO stage. Next week will also bring a photo essay of Cindy’s incredible work.

Cindy with her diorama. She built the stage herself and assembled a historically accurate scene.

Greg Brown of Cotswold Collectibles, intently organizing and reorganizing little, wonderfully-crafted, pieces of plastic.

The show exclusives for Adventure Command and 12″ GI Joes.

A gigantic and impressive Cobra Viper vehicle of some sort. This cardboard creation was HUGE!

A quick look at The Marauders.

We wrap up this brief photo essay with a shot of some really cool 3D printed RAH GI Joe pieces. A couple of these came home with me.

We will continue our coverage of The 2025 Kentuckiana GI Joe Toy Expo over the next two weeks here in PopCult.
