You may probably remember him as little Tim Murphy from Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park, but now he is a grown young man. We are talking about Joseph Francis Mazzello III (or just Joseph Mazzello for short) who has taken the role of “Mouse” for G. I. Joe: Retaliation by director Jon Chu.
Mr. Mazzello sat down for an exclusive interview with HeyUGuys. He was mostly interviewed regarding the return of Jurassic Park and his memories associated with the filming, but he had something to say about G. I. Joe 2 as well. Quote: And you’re currently shooting G.I. Joe 2? I am. I’m on hiatus from that at the moment. It’s going great. [Director] Jon Chu is fantastic and we actually went to school together and he texted me one day with a ‘Hey, I have a role for you in my movie, do you wanna do it?’ I told him that for him I’d do craft services… and that was how it happened. I’m loving it – Dwanye Johnson is fantastic. I think you could crush me with his pinky… but he wouldn’t – he’s the nicest, most gentle guy. Channing Tatum is so much fun. We’ve had a blast on set and going out at night experiencing New Orleans the way it’s supposed to be done. The interview happened back in last October and yet it somehow slipped through our watchful eyes. Initial rumors suggested that the character Mouse from Sgt. Savage and his Screaming Eagles will appear to entice young teen girls into the film. Later we heard the news of Joseph Mazzello being cast as the said character. |

So perhaps you read the Power Team Elite J10 Review, then stopped by Big Lots thinking they'd have it. Well it's November now with no sighting of that nor the SU-27 at Big Lots. Before Thanksgiving we got the news that BigBadToyStore had SU27 preorders up, and now, we've found that they also have the J10 up for preorder too!
PLEASE NOTE: Thisis a preliminary preorder. If preorder volume for the Power Team Elite line does not meet required minimums, we will not be able to import this line. Please share information with others who enjoy the 1:18 scale to help us meet the minimum order requirement. Price is $39.99. Other items can be found in their Power Team Elite section! |

For those who are following our TFW2005 Transformers Live Action Movie News, you may know very well about Movie Rating Sites such as Alberta Film Ratings and British Board of Film Classification. It so happens that these sites are wealthy information sources when it comes to upcoming movies and trailers.
Today, HISSTANK learns that Alberta Film Ratings is listing some information regarding the First Trailer of G. I. Joe: Retaliation. The trailer is PG rated and we are expected to see it with a movie of a similar rating. The running time is 2:25 Minutes, which is nearly the running time of the trailer shown/heard at the Hasbro’s 2011 Investor Day. The rating happened yesterday, so we are expected to see if revealed within the next couple of months. |

The GI Joe Collectors' Club has addressed criticism about the GI Joe Figure Subscription Service(FSS), with a post on Facebook:
There has been a lot of "controversy" over the art for the FSS. Some like it and some HATE it. A lot! :-) We thought it might be fun to show some of the reference the digital artist was given. He was asked to rework them as much original art as possible to make the FSS carded figure art as retro, nostalgic and consistent to each other as could be done in a very tight time frame. We think he did a pretty good job overall. Check out where he began. It looks like A LOT of work to get where he got to starting from these! So what do you think about the art now? |

"Where is the Storm Shadow figure to rival this?" With the release of Renegades Storm Shadow, fans finally have their answer. This figure arrived at stores very recently.

Just how much would you pay for a GI Joe 30th Anniversary Cobra Night Raven S3P? With GI Joe 2 Retaliation on the way next year, 2012 is the best chance we have at getting a 30th Anniversary Night Raven. So, onward, discuss! |

The Modern Techno Viper was at the top of many fans' wishlists during the past few years. It is one of the most highly anticipated figures of GI Joe 30th Anniversary Wave 3, and possibly the most highly anticipated troop builder of the year.
If you like variety in your collection, well here's something else to spice things up. Recently HISS Tank boards member Cdt Weasel received a Techno Viper Variant. What makes this a variant? The different traffic cones, one molded in black but painted green, and the other molded in green. There is also a sculpt difference. Here's what Cdt Weasel had to say: As I was connecting the 2 cones I noticed they had a different texture and sharpness to the paint apps. One appears to be black plastic painted neon green.. The top of the cone has a round hole (where you can see the black plastic the cone is made out of). The second cone is molded from a neon green plastic and the cobra logo and silver stripe have slightly fuzzier edges due to the rougher texture of the unpainted cone. The top has a hexagonal peg hole. Looking at them now, the black plastic cone may be hexagonal on top, but the paint apps have rounded out the corners more and make it look round. I had thrown away the card to the first figure already but the date code on the second is 12721. See for yourself after the jump! |

After the last leader of the underground terrorist organization was assassinated, a "Cobra Civil War" broke out in IDW's trio of relaunched G.I. Joe comics in April. Seven candidates were up for the job, and many battles, sabotaging, backroom dealings and a bunch of casualties later, the new Cobra Commander is unveiled Wednesday in the pages — and on a special scratch-off variant cover — of G.I. Joe issue 8, written by Chuck Dixon with art by Will Rosado. In addition, USA Today spoke with some of the creative teams behind IDW's GI Joe, and Mike Costa stated the following: Costa teases that by the end of "Cobra Command," "there will definitely be people who were part of the Cobra organization who are no longer part of it." Also, much like he's done with Serpentor, Big Boa, Croc Master and Crystal Ball, he will be taking another seemingly "ridiculous and unworkable" Cobra character from the old toy franchise and giving them a modern and realistic tweak. So who is the new Cobra Commander? Read on(at your own risk!) to find out.... |

Be it through Hasbro or the G.I.Joe Collectors Club, fans of the franchise have been given a taste of what many refer to as the ARGEN 7. This eclectic group of figures, by a company named Plastirama, are repaints of G.I.Joe 3 3/4 figures released in the early 80's. These figures were released in Argentina.
However, for our friends in Venezuela, G.I.Joe pickings were slim. Figures were either imported or sent over by family/friends who lived overseas and had access to our favorite modern action figure. In 1990, a company by the name of Rubiplas set out to change that and obtained a license from Hasbro to produce their own figure assortment. Rubiplas opted to use molds of figures released from 82 - 85 rather than license molds of figures produced during that year, or even around that time frame. The exact reason behind this is not completely known. The figures produced by Rubiplas are extremely rare. To find one in good condition would be considered a gem in anyone's collection. It's because of this fact that many jaws dropped when HissTank.com forum member FigurasDeAccion posted word that he's selling not one, not two...SIX Venezuelan G.I.Joe figures. Included in the assortment are:
If you love o-ring figures and chase after rare/hard to find International pieces, well...you've just stumbled on to something that we may not see again for a very long time to come. We here at the Tank normally wouldn't Front Page someone's private sale, but this piece of G.I.Joe history cannot go unnoticed.

San Diego, CA (December 7, 2011) – IDW Publishing’s COBRA CIVIL WAR end today when the new COBRA COMMANDER is crowned in G.I.

The action and aftermath continue on December 14th in SNAKE EYES #8, written by Dixon with art by Casey Maloney (Star Trek, Children of the Grave), as the ninja commando attempts to rescue his teammate, DUKE, who’s been infected by a lethal virus that’s diving him violently mad.

In COBRA #8, available on December 21st from writer Mike Costa (Blackhawks, Smoke & Mirrors) and artists Antonio Fuso (Wolverine: Origins, G.I. Joe: Hearts and Minds) and Werther dell’Edera (X-Force, Punisher), the reign of the new COBRA COMMANDER begins—leading to January’s status-quo shattering COBRA COMMAND crossover series. An unstoppable series of events is set in motion, the world is about to learn what COBRA already knows: this is a very different kind of COBRA COMMANDER.

JOE: COBRA: COBRA CIVIL WAR, VOL. 1 takes fans back to the beginning of the COBRA CIVIL WAR, with the first four issues of the COBRA series plus the 10-page prologue from G.I.

Not a major toy news, but it is worth mentioning that Hasbro is planning to introduce a new “PVC-Less” Toy Packaging by 2013.
This decision comes from their effort to “Go Green”. Hasbro, Inc. announced today that it will eliminate polyvinyl chloride (PVC) from all new core toy and game packaging beginning in 2013. Hasbro has already begun to phase out PVC from some packaging, and has committed to completely eliminating PVC in packaging for new product beginning in 2013. Check out the entire Press Release we received, after the jump. |

‘Tis the Holiday Season and no better time to reveal a movie trailer (except Super Bowl of course).
The Official UK G. I. Joe Movie Facebook Page has been updated with… "Attention Joes: new trailer coming soon!" Entertainment Websites such as Dark Horizons state that the recently revealed list of trailers (including G. I. Joe: Retaliation) will hit the internet pretty soon. Sure enough, within matter of hours, the Teaser Trailer for Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted made its debut. It is worth noticing that the running time posted for Madagascar 3 Teaser Trailer matches 100% with this revealed trailer. Therefore we can come to a solid confirmation that the 1st G. I. Joe: Retaliation trailer is indeed 2 and a half minutes long. We will keep you updated as soon as we receive more info. |

Your fellow HISS tanker Cloud Strife made this custom G.I. Joe POC Claymore.
"A fellow Tanker commissioned me to make Claymore. At first we were leaning towards an ARAH inspired Claymore, but we ended up going for a more modern Claymore, similar to what th POC run has done. " Click the Discuss button for all the pics & details. |

The G. I. Joe Toyline is one of the proudest Franchises… in the world. There are only very few toy brand names that have achieved a legendary status.
The Official Twitter Page of the G. I. Joe Collectors’ Club is sharing with us this cool video of an Adventure Team 12" GI Joe bound to a weather balloon and sent to over 87,000 feet above the ground. |
