Thanks to HISS Tank.com boards member Livewire for posting up his Custom ARAH Cobra Lancehead Tank

"To make this I pretty much just added a turret from an Armadillo mini tank to a Mobat tank and behold, the Lancehead Tank was created... well I also had to do a bit of sanding and painting; and adding stickers isn't a walk in the park either.The top turret can move independently through 360 degrees and the main battle cannon can still elevate. The motor function still works but it's a bit trickier to control."

Hasbro 2011 GI Joe Q&A Round 4 Answers

1. Will the Tecno-Viper have the Cobra logo on his chest? Will It be Red or Silver?

1a. Yes - it will be silver.

2. Backdrops to the Joe Universe historically have come to us with playsets. Recently Hasbro gave us the added bonus of backgrounds in the packaging which could be easily shaped and formed into diorama's. My son and I love the playsets and backdrops, but we also like the other small things Hasbro has added to the figures by means of accessories. These items have really helped flesh out the fantasy universe: tiki masks, bear traps, constantina wire, bomb robots, etc... Trust me, there is a lot. For example, when I though I didn't need another snake eyes, you see one with a new mask packaged with him, making it a must have. What is the thought process behind the accessories we get wich don't necessarily have to be character specific, and with the way some pieces are being released are we seeing an unnoficial "build-a-playset" without knowing or realizing it?

2a. When designing a figure, it has always been our philosophy to tell a story with the figure, to let the figure's gear "speak", to shape the character and his mission or role on the team. At the beginning of the design process, when a character has been identified, we take it to the next level and ask some questions. What does he do? Where is the character going? Where has he been already? The answers help us to paint the picture of who this character is, and what role he plays in the G.I. JOE or Cobra Team. Oftentimes, it's the more ordinary or unexpected items which make the action figure, and capture a child or fan's imagination. And its true: the more figures you buy - the larger and more vivid the universe becomes.

3. In a recent Q & A it was stated that there would be more information given on the upcoming 7 packs. Most fans were expecting to hear about these at SDCC, but nothing was mentioned. Are the 7 packs still in the works or scrapped?

3a. The 7-packs are still in the works and are worth the wait! We will be releasing more information soon so stay tuned!

Looks like Cobra Commander has a new day-time talk show called COBRAH! Not only is he the host but Destro and the G.I. Joe Team show up at the end. Look for COBRAH at 5:30 mark. If you have not been watching MAD on Cartoon Network it's worth setting your DVR for a time waster.

This week on "What’s on JOE Mind?" we are joined by Jay Gish, director of Yo Joe - A Real American Hip-Hop Musical. You have NEVER heard Joe like this before - ever! We even have a clip to share as we talk about the production with Jay and Dave Stecco who plays Gung Ho's alter ego, "Full Bore." After, we empty the mail bag - or at least put a nice dent in it. Believe it or not, we even talk about My Little Pony. Find out which Joes we like that got little or no love from the comic and cartoon, get our opinions of the line for the next 5 year and hear our guesses concerning who we would like to see in the GIJCC's subscription program. Speaking of the GIJCC, the staff lends a helping hand by encouraging an over anxious fandom to show a little patience. As they say, good things come, to those who wait.

"This will be my take on the 2011 Skystriker, I was inspired when super-flanker made a Tomcat version out of SS, credit goes to him. I got one from our friend Eric and decided to make it a 2 seater jet. I still need to put some control sticks for the 2 pilots in the middle. My mistake for not making the consoles historically correct."

Cobra Commander inspires undying loyalty in his soldiers. However, they wouldn't become part of the tremendous COBRA ranks if they didn't get results. While the standard "blueshirt" troopers are the backbone of Cobra Commander's army, the terrorist organization's leader has realized the importance of specialized training to meet specific needs. As he weaves his dangerous web across the globe, he needs troopers who not only endure the harsh environments they're placed in but use it to their advantage. Trained in desert survival and combat, Cobra Commander's Desert Ops Troopers wear tan uniforms to blend in with the whirling sands of the desert. By the time they are spotted, it's too late for their enemies.

Things are all quiet in the Live Action Movie front. It seems as though the actors have been asked not to reveal any info, that much is certain judging by what they say on Twitter.

However, there is a sudden interest on Parkour; the art of navigating through various obstacles as fast as one can, going from point A to point B (especially in urban areas). We’ve heard of Parkour being used in the movie before, and Ray Park (Snake Eyes) and Eldoie Yung (Jinx) were spotted exchanging Parkour related YouTube videos via Twitter. It is very clear that Parkour will play a major part in the movie.

Speaking of which Ms. Yung is having an enjoyable yet very tiring filming schedule:

“12 hours of fight, I'm going to sleep well!”

Same can be said for Ray Park. Meanwhile Director Jon M. Chu is having fun filming all of it:

“Long day of shooting...with Ninjas. A sentence I've always wanted to say.”

“I wish I could take a picture of this sick scene w/ all the G.I. Joes in it right about now...but I can't...but I wish I could...can't wait”

Channing Tatum (Duke) also said:

“Had fun hanging out with the #GIJOE2 cast and crew on the Haunted Plantation Tour in St. Francisville, LA!”

The Rock (Roadblock) is bit quiet about G. I. Joe: Retaliation, it’s been a while since he mentioned something big. Never-the-less:

“Though it's a Hollywood movie - it's an honor to fight along side our real Navy SEALS daily.”

Finally, the best news of the lot... Hasbro has made a set visit. Ray Park was very excited about it. (Thanks to skinny of Hisstank forums for the heads-up):

“Yo Joe Hasbro!! Can't wait 4 the fans 2 c what u have planned;() Great 2 c u all today. Thx.”

We’ll hear more news as filming progresses.

A Casting Call Sheet for stand-ins of G. I. Joe: Retaliation reveals possible Cobra Commander.

The data from bathersoncasting.com tells us of a scene involving a a Warden, Storm Shadow and unmistakably Cobra Commander. This may be a possible Prison Break scenario.

But the biggest question is, that few months back Joseph Gordon-Levitt said he won’t be the Cobra Commander… then who is fitting into Gordon-Levitt’s shoes?

Thanks to HISSTANK.com staff member Ceraurus for posting up his long term custom project The OG13!

"This all started when I put a Dusty head on the POC Snake Eyes and thought it would make a good Grunt. Early on, I really wasn't sure I would finish at all, and I certainly didn't think it would be done by the end of summer. Once I got going, though, I started to pick up steam. Thanks for all the compliments while I worked on this, they really helped to motivate me."


Here are all the individual threads:
- Grunt, Short-Fuze, Steeler, Clutch, RocknRoll, Zap, Snake Eyes, Flash, Stalker, Hawk, Breaker, Grand Slam, Scarlett

I just want to be clear from the get-go, there has been no official word from Paramount or Hasbro but Actress-Dancer Melinda Sullivan has sent out a tweet today via Twitter announcing her involvement in G.I. Joe 2 Retaliation. I don't know about you, but to me, she sure looks like a ringer for the Baroness! One can only hope they left "what's her face" back at the wig store.

Spoiler Warning: The following news article may contain possible scenes from the upcoming movie G. I. Joe: Retaliation.

Before moving on to the goodies, we believe a brief introduction is in order:

The casting site which revealed Cobra Commander’s involvement in the 2nd G. I. Joe movie now lists the wardrobe using numbers instead of addressing them with Character Names. HISSTANK wanted to take a look at who stands-in for whom by looking at yesterday’s page. “Google is your friend” so they say… and we thought of using Google Cache to read past web pages. Unfortunately, yesterday’s page was not there. Instead we were treated to a past page revealing even more info. We then used Yahoo, Bing and other search engine cache pages to obtain more scenes from the movie.

Due to spoiler reasons the content is kept off the front page… want to read more? Take a look, after the jump.

This week we are joined by HissTank.com honcho Fran (aka Destro) to talk to him about the New Jersey Collectors' Convention and learn a little history on how the HissTank Community got its start. Its an interesting interview - you should listen! Due to a slow news week, the team discussed many points of view while trying to answer Tim from KC's question about Hasbro distribution. Speaking of distribution, apparently it is working in some areas as Greg, Justin and Gary review each one of the new Renegades figures with the general consensus being that these are AWESOME! Gary encourages a thread on HissTank concerning wanting a Sideshow Navy SEAL Torpedo figure - how sweet would that figure be!? Oh, and the Hits for Tots campaign rolls on at full speed. We'll be making some less fortunate children and the US Marine Corps very happy this holiday season!

"Gentlemen, this is Ace; My Little Skystriker

You might think I'm crazy or blasphemous for this so before you get all nutty, let me tell you a little story. My wife has customized My Little Ponies for a while now and I have done a couple as well because, quite honestly, it's all the fodder we had around the house and I needed a damn creative outlet."

Snake Eyes has a pet wolf named Timber that has appeared several times in toys, comics, and animation (most recently on G. I. Joe: Renegades episode “White Out”).

Taking into consideration what Ray Park tweeted recently, it seems as though Timber will appear on the big-screen via G. I. Joe: Retaliation; Live Action Movie by Director Jon Chu.

“I was thinking of adopting Timber Wolf while I'm shooting but i'd have no home and wife to go back 2;(“

Very interesting news appearing these days… who knows, there might even be a news that’ll turnaround those who are still skeptic about the G. I. Joe Live Action Movie Franchise?
