Contactmusic.com has posted snippets of Sienna Miller's interview with Timeout London Magazine, with regards to her role as The Baroness in GI Joe Rise Of Cobra. Miller regrets her role in the movie and her interview does lend credence to the rumor that she will not return for GI Joe 2:

She tells Britain's Time Out magazine, "It was what it was, but I compromised my own values to a certain degree and I didn't feel good about that.

"I'm not very good at fighting. And I'm not very good at guns. And I'm not particularly aggressive. I had to wear sunglasses because every time I shot my gun I would blink. I was completely out of place, like this little midget running round in black leather winning fights, which was just absurd. They did a wondrous job with my wardrobe to make me look threatening.

"G.I. Joe (was) a great pay cheque. If, financially, I'm okay - which luckily I am - there's no point in doing stuff that's not right for me. It's too much time away from home."


Miller added that she is more focused on furthering her theatre career as opposed to film.

The New York Post interviewed Rachel Nichols recently, and she went over her GI Joe Rise Of Cobra action figure(s), and what she looks forward to in GI Joe 2. It turns out, she's not a fan of her action figure(s), and Sienna Miller was also not a fan of the Baroness action figures. Meanwhile, unlike Miller, Nichols seems pretty excited about GI Joe 2 and does not regret playing in Rise Of Cobra:

PW: Do you own the Scarlet action figure?
Rachel: Somewhere. My mother does a great job of collecting and preserving. Hasbro might not like me saying this, but I don’t think my action figure is very attractive. Sienna [Miller] and I actually fought over who’s rendition was uglier. She kind of wins because hers looks like a cross-eyed 80-year-old woman with an overbite, but I look like a man with a very large forehead and a unibrow, so…

PW: Well, I'm sure you can rectify that with the sequel.
Rachel: I would love to. They’ve been very tight-lipped about it -- I haven’t even seen a script, but I would jump to do it in a second. Making the first one was a blast.


Nichols also mentioned that she thinks her fight with Miller in Rise Of Cobra is better than her fight with Rose Mcgowan in Conan, and that in GI Joe 2, Scarlett wins:

PW: Hmm, you've already committed one of the better girlfights to film with Sienna in the first "G.I. Joe," how does this one stack up?
Rachel: [laughs] I should probably say the savvy thing -- that “Conan” is better ... but it’s not. I’m so sorry! Sienna and I had the dopest chick fight ever. Mine with Rose is much shorter. I mean, Baroness & Scarlet fought on elevators! I think that is going to be my favorite scene ever … until we make them give us a better one in “G.I. Joe 2!”

PW: It's a pretty hard act to follow!
Rachel: Well, I need to win! I was complaining that the good girl gets her butt kicked, but the [producers] kept telling me – "in the sequel, you win!" I think it could just be “G.I. Joe 2: Scarlett vs. Baroness.” That’s all it’ll be, just the two of us fighting.


With talk of Lee Byung Hun returning as Storm Shadow brought up numerous times, as well as talk of Channing Tatum reprising his role as Duke, perhaps Nichols will join them for GI Joe 2. Who else will return to reprise their roles?

GI JOE 2 News Flash: The only characters to return in the JON CHU directed sequel will be SNAKE EYES, STORM SHADOW, and DUKE...

You may recall, she wanted to win as Scarlett in GI Joe 2, and expressed excitement for it, but didn't outright say she would be returning. Whether things change remains to be seen. Can you picture GI Joe 2 without Scarlett?

The preview for GI Joe Infestation #1 in the pages of Infestation #1 suggested that GI Joe Infestation would take on a dark tone. This issue is indeed, decidedly darker than Infestation #1. Simply put, everything goes to hell for all GI Joe and Cobra operatives involved.

The Baroness sets the tone for this issue, as someone in her party is quickly killed in the first few pages, followed by the immediate capture of Psyche Out. Baroness and crew have raided the seemingly unassuming boat that Psyche Out and his team are sailing on.

Until this issue, we haven’t seen Psyche Out and Interrogator used much, so their roles in this issue are appreciated. It was also interesting to see how soldiers working under the Baroness react to her orders.

Baroness is portrayed as a ruthless Cobra operative, aided by Cobra Eels and Interrogator. Along the way, two new would-be Joes, Dolphin and Hound, are very briefly introduced.
We mentioned new would-be Joes introduced in this issue, but they aren’t the only new additions, as a new BAT design is shown. These BATs are worked on by Dr. Zych and Dr. Mitchell of Cobra. The BATs have surgical implants from animals to boost their sensory functions. While Mitchell is reluctant to perform the surgeries, Zych demands that the surgeries continue, for her own reasons….

It turns out that Psyche Out was transporting mysterious cargo, cargo that is of interest to the Baroness. Against Psyche Out’s warnings, the Baroness sends off the cargo to Dr. Zych to study.

What results is everything going south for everyone stuck on the Cobra Cottonmouth base, and possibly an unholy alliance formed for survival, in the next issue.

In some way, this issue is similar to Infestation #1 in that it’s unpredictable and that things go haywire for the main characters. This kicks things off well because the odds are against them, and this may force both GI Joe and Cobra forces to team up. Premises like that are usually entertaining.

The artwork was handled well, with J. Brown’s colors accentuating Giovanni Timpano’s artwork rather well. Timpano’s use of spot black inks is good, it aids in conveying the dark tone of the storyline. His rendition of the Baroness is rather appealing as well.

Overall this issue combines good artwork with an intriguing story and overlooked/underrated characters. It’s definitely a unique GI Joe comic worth checking out.

HISS Tank boards member kuukuuson has been hard at work on his RAHC Guide and he has sent us update III on the upcoming book. RAHC Guide Round 2 Update was posted last month. Without further ado, here is update III!

Well the time has arrived, the moment you’ve all been waiting for… The R.A.H.C. Guide has been sent to the printer approved with changes and being prepared to print as we speak!!!

After a very long search to find the perfect combination of price and quality this specialized era of G.I. Joe requires, the R.A.H.C. Guide is priced at $40 and will debut at the 2011 G.I. Joe Convention!

This 172 page reference book fully exploring 689 Action Figures and 135 Vehicles and Playsets will be available in limited quantities so be ready to purchase yours as soon as possible. Look for a member of the illustrious Springfield Country Club set up inside the main convention hall!! After the convention concludes, orders will be taken and payment instructions will be issued.

Let me kinda sit down and loosen my tie per se to tell ya that’s it’s been a long road. When I first set down with this project, the general consensus was a guide on this subject matter wasn’t feasible. I knew that if I set out to do this project, it’s gotta be done right. My No. 1 goal was the make the perfect guide to specifically satisfy the “over the top fan-boy” in me and bring a quality product to the community. While sporadically showing in progress samples to friends and collectors to obtain feedback, I knew I was on the right track. I can’t thank them (i.e. you) enough and can’t wait to get this guide in your hands!


Kudos to kuukuuson for his hard work and efforts behind this upcoming book!

Earlier this week we reported that Jon Chu has been selected to direct the sequel. Rachel Nichols also stated via her Twitter feed that the only returning characters include Duke, Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow.

With a release date now announced, are you excited for the sequel? Have high hopes for the movie or did the Rise of Cobra spoil your taste for live action G.I.Joe movies? Join us after the jump for discussion already in progress!

Thanks to HISSTank.com boards member KrymsynGardImmoral for posting up his custom Red Shadows Moray Hydrofoil.

I found a pretty good shade of red that comes very close to the vintage RS color of red, bright but not too dark. I painted the whole boat red because I felt if i left the hull black (i used a TRU Moray for this) it would be too much "black" for the "Red Shadows". It ends up being a LOT of red, though. I tried to break it up by adding a black background to a lot of the decals, trying to mimic the early paper Action Force decals. The Moray stickers are from Ruben, the Red Shadows are from Cobrastickers. I considered leaving the black Moray snake off the side of the boat, but it looks so striking next to the bright red. MasterCollector kind of established a link between the Shadows and Cobra, so maybe it was a gift from Cobra Commander or something.

In addition we had our review of GI Joe Infestation #1, and official images of upcoming Pursuit of Cobra waves. We would be remiss by overlooking the arrival of Rise Of Cobra Alpha Vehicles Wave 3, finally stateside, at ROSS.

Edit - Due to some good reminiscing by folks on the boards, they reminded me that we did have another skin in the mix over the years, although only for a brief moment in time. So technically - this is HissTank 4.0! Check out that discussion here.

OK again take these pics with a grain of salt. Was tooling through my telzon at Walmart again today and the wave 3 alphas 2010/2011 had returned.

Kre-O Upcoming Hasbro Building Blocks


With past attempts at Hasbro introducing building block style toys to market being short lived via Built-To-Rule I have a good feeling about the upcoming Hasbro launch of the Kre-O building blocks line.

At Toy Fair 2011 we were treated to a closed room of the full line-up of Transformers Kre-O building blocks. It looks like to kick off the line it will be Transformers exclusive. As you can see from the images below the Kre-O Mini Figures are awesome. These official images of Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Starscream were just a few of what's on tap for the Kre-O line. The sets that were shown were in many size classes and had a full range of G1 character selection.

HISSTank.com wants to know if fans of G.I. Joe would look forward too and support a Kre-O line full of G.I. Joe Mini Kre-O Figures. I know I feel that Hasbro building block Mini Figures are far over-due and I would pick up sets like: Kre-O H.I.S.S. Tank, Sky Striker and all Mini-Figure sets.

Let Hasbro know if you would or not support a G.I. Joe Kre-O line by voting in our community poll and sounding of on the forums by clicking the Discuss Button.

HISSTank.com member Tankster made this custom Cobra Supreme Leader "Arise Serpentor" to replace his 25th Serpentor.

"Pretty much I have been wanting to fill my Supreme Leader gap in my collection I really didn't like the 25th offering.
I went away from the classic look to something I felt he could look like.
BTW his Air Chariot is now way to small for him.......need to make a new one.
I hope you guys dig."
