Your fellow HISS Tanker Shipwreck has taken a 30th Skystriker and repainted it into a G1 Decepticon Thundercracker !


"Generation One Color Correct versions are hard to really master. Some use something similar to it. Occasionally you hit something on a mark. I've had people tell me, color plastics will be lighter then painted plastics. Which is true. Same with the case of Thundercracker. He is more of a Blue Metallic, which is what is on the Dodge Viper GTS. This color is also very close to the pigments of flake found in the original and reissue Thundercracker figure."

Now that New York Comic Con 2011 is over I just wanted to point out one of the most under-rated news story's of the year. Hasbro's UNIT-E NYCC 2011 Exclusive Comic! In many ways this could be called, "Hasbro Universe Issue 0". I understand why it took so long for Hasbro to put this together, but I still have a need to say it, IT'S ABOUT TIME! If there is one exclusive that fans of Hasbro Toy Brands should be seeking out, this is it.

UNIT-E sets the stage for all of Hasbro's Brands to become one under the same roof for the first time. Not only is Hasbro throwing lines like Transformers, G.I. Joe, and Micronauts into the same ring.....They are also expanding the Brands they already own and giving them new life in UNIT-E.

UNIT-E starts off with Synergy (JEM and the HOLOGRAMS Fame) and Biotron (Micronauts) traveling the universe heading to Earth. Their mission is to protect Acroyear? and find the heroes of Earth to defend against Karza's Army. The short story ends after a brief into into the updated brands that Hasbro may update in the future.

Yesterday at the Hasbro Third Quarter 2011 Earnings Conference Call, CEO of Hasbro; Mr. Brian Goldner hinted G. I. Joe Kre-O.

Although he didn’t give away directly, he did hint that Kre-O is not just about Transformers but will contain other brand names too. He mentioned this, answering a question regarding the success of other brands except Transformers and Bayblade.

“In Kre-O business, this year of course is focused on Transformers brand and is off to a great start in 8 countries and we’ll roll that out to rest of the world in 2012” said Mr. Goldner.

With the second G. I. Joe movie coming out next year, there is a good possibility that Kre-O Year 2 might be for the Joe brand. We’ll hear more… soon.

Thanks to the Facebook page of Mat Brouillard we now have images of the unused Pilot Firefly(from Rise Of Cobra) and Clutch(from Pursuit Of Cobra) mockups. Firefly sports a completely different helmet than the one we ended up getting and Clutch has a completely different body(the head shown was just a placeholder).

Do you like this Firefly more than the final production one? Does this Clutch look better than the kitbashed one we got with the VAMP 4 x 4? Take closer looks after the jump!

To kick off the weekend Hasbro has sent back the answers for the 5th round of 2011 GI Joe Q&A! Here we go....

1) Will the Concept Blowtorch and TheTransTortured Python Patrol Croc Master repaints be released? We never saw them in the Pursuit Of Cobra line and have yet to see them in the 30th Anniversary line.
A) no answer

2) GI Joe 30th Anniversary Wave 2(the Renegades wave) was released recently and the figures are missing some weapons and accessories that they were shown with at Toy Fair/JoeCon. Going forward, will figures from waves 3 and beyond come intact with everything that the prototypes were shown with?
A) In order to put out these highly articulated, highly deco'd figures in the face of rising production costs we had to make some tough decisions. These changes were made in an effort to cost reduce the entire assortment. There are currently no plans to further cost reduce these figures.

3) Through the years we've enjoyed the packaging and concept art of GI Joe A Real American Hero to present GI Joe lines. Be it from Dave Dorman, Ron Rudat, Draxhall Jump, et al. Has an art book collecting 30 years of ARAH-present art been taken into consideration? Sure there are glimpses in Mark Bellomo's 2nd GI Joe book, Draxhall Jump's site, and a sketchbook you gave out at one of the SDCC's. However we want it all and in one book!
A) Thanks for the question! While nothing is currently planned, we always say "never say never." If there is enough demand for a book like this, we defintiely want the fans to let us know!

DelmarvaNOW has reported that GI Joe Comic artist Tom Feister will be in Salisbury on October 26th 2011, for an autograph session during Illusion Games & Comics Appreciation Day(from 4-6PM). In addition they interviewed Feister. Here's a snippet from the interview, in which he conveys his appreciation for Larry Hama:

G.I. Joe is my favorite thing I've worked on because it's the book that first got me excited about collecting comics. The first comics pro I ever met was a man named Larry Hama, who is the man responsible for the creation of the G.I. Joe story and characters. When I was around 9 years old my Mom set up a tour of Marvel Comics' offices in New York City. As soon as we got to the office the receptionist told my group that we wouldn't meet any artists or writers because they mostly worked at home. I was immediately disappointed. At the end of the tour, however, my mom mentioned to the receptionist that I was a fan of G.I. Joe. The woman said that Larry Hama was actually in his office today and she would walk back to see if he had a moment to say hello. They walked me back to his cramped office piled high with comics and stacks of papers. Larry spent about 20 minutes with me. He showed me some art from an upcoming book, and then told me a secret about the story that was going on in the book at the time, and then swore me to secrecy. He handed me a stack of G.I. Joe comics that were sitting in his office and signed a few. I left in a daze. He took a few minutes out of his day and changed the course of the rest of my life.

Last year, I was fortunate enough to spend a weekend sitting next to him at a G.I. Joe convention. It's one of the highlights of my career

Are you an aspiring artist? Here's some advice from Tom Feister:

Draw constantly. Take a sketchbook with you everywhere you go. Find working artists and try to pick up as much information from them as you can. Intern. Even if you're only taking out their trash and getting them coffee. Watching them work will be better than any art school you'll go to.

"When I was a kid I always wanted the Joes to come up with a counter force for Cobra's B.A.T.'s, as the Sarge can't always be around to take on twenty at a time haha. Then the other day I was thinking about those classic Army Men toys and thought it would be a fun idea to have them be the Joe equivalent of the B.A.T."

Hello!

UPDATE for those wondering about shipping for the FSS figures!

In order to protect your upcoming Figure Subscription Service orders, the G.I. Joe Collectors' Club has gone to great lengths to design a new extremely durable shipping container for your figures! It's not indestructible but it is the strongest figure shipping container ever created for 3 3/4" G.I. Joes!

Each box's "grain" runs 90 degrees perpendicular to the other box so it adds additional strength to the unit. In traditional shipping boxes when you press on the top you see the the wall start to compress down the "grain". With this construction, it can't depress both layers without a severe amount of pressure, as they run 90 degrees to each other.

MORE "FIGURE" REVEALS COMING SOON!

Best!

Pete

In addition, the Club sent us an image of all 7 GI Joe Subscription figures revealed so far. Check out the images after the jump!

"I would like to present my Pursuit of Cobra (Or, if you prefer, 30th Anniversary) Crimson Guard. Each part of this figure you see - from the head to toe, even the guts and weapons - is cast is colored resin. I think it gives the figure a near-retail look, which is something I find especially important in regards to customs. I'm not so vain as to imply it resembles something you'd buy, but the closer it gets to compatibility the happier I am."

Last year on November 10th, 2010 it was a very special day. On that day Hasbro decided to reveal quite a lot of their upcoming plans for year 2011 and beyond.

Today, Hasbro sent us a Press Release regarding this year’s event Hasbro Investor Day 2011.

However, we are not exactly sure what Hasbro is planning to do this time because last time they surprised us with many many many things.

Most likely we’ll hear news regarding Hasbro’s plans for the Holiday Season and the upcoming movies G. I. Joe: Retaliation, Stretch Armstrong, Battleship, Micronauts, Candy Land and Ouija.

Since Hasbro applied for the G. I. Joe: Retaliation Trademark very recently, we are sure to see the official logo for the first time.

Read the entire Press Release, after the jump.

Your fellow HISS Tanker Eopie Herder made this custom 30th G.I. Joe Starduster and his XP-87 jet.

"I was inspired by the recent 30th versions of the original 13, so I decided to do a 30th version of Starduster. I went a slightly different route by not only giving him his Jetpack, but a plane as well that is where he gets the "Starduster" moniker. "

Thanks to HISSTANK.com boards member ShockBlastWave for posting up his G.I.Joe 25th Aniversary small diorama "Sewer Infiltration".

I put my Night Force team in it, as if they are infiltrating a Cobra base through a underground sewer network. The base of the diorama is foamboard. The big pipe ends are a cardboard roll on which ductape was rolled, the rest is made of tube, drinking straws and some bbq sticks. The sewer water is plastic foil glued on a painted underground and finished with some hot glue.
