HISSTANK.com is taking a look back at GIJOE Movie Toys from Rise of Cobra aka ROC! We will be featuring figures and vehicles that may have been overlooked by collectors and may deserve a second chance. Now the Steel Crusher was by far the best original vehicle mold that was produced for the Rise Of Cobra GIJOE Movie Line. Somehow I run into fellow collectors who do not own one. Hopefully after taking a look at some of these images, we can change a few minds, and send a few of you on the hunt.

This past Friday, The Hub, a partnership between Hasbro and the Discovery Channel, announced their line up for 2012 & early 2013. Sadly, no G.I.Joe related programs are listed on the roster.

Although The Hub will continue to air programs such as Transformers Prime and air new shows like Littlest Pet Shop and Kaijudo Rise of the Duel Master, there's no site of our favorite 3 3/4" Modern Military Figure.

Although there have been rumors that there was to be a second season of G.I.Joe Renegades and other rumors of a new cartoon that picks up where G.I.Joe Retaliation leaves off...it doesn't look like either have any foundation.

Ah yes, GI Joe Renegades, it's as if we hardly knew ye. With only 1 season, this series managed to have a rather devoted following here, 1 vehicle released and figures in 3 waves of the GI Joe 30th Anniversary line. Nonetheless, it is a series fans miss, and 1 that many recognized as having lots of potential.

Another series that ended earlier than planned, was Transformers Animated. While IDW managed to release a few comics after the cartoon ended, there was something more that came in the form of Jim Sorenson. Sorenson wrote the Transformers Animated Allspark Almanacs, full color books printed on gloss paper. The 2nd volume had numerous homages to GI Joe A Real American Hero, and there were even some homages in the cartoon itself(documented here).

Sorenson is no stranger to GI Joe. He is working on a GI Joe Ark Style Book, with way more material to pull from than his Transformers Ark Books. In addition, Jim Sorenson is a fan of GI Joe Renegades. The description of Allspark Almanac 2 states:

The AllSpark Almanac II captures the magic of the most whimsical TRANSFORMERS series ever with a wondrous examination of this amazing universe. This volume is packed with behind-the-scenes sketches, interesting facts, production artwork, and musings from the characters themselves. Relive the thrill of the final season of Animated and learn what might have been had the show continued. Hard-core fans and neophytes alike will find this an essential tome. You won't want to miss it!

What if we had a GI Joe Renegades Almanac with the following? *Tweaked from the quoted passage above*:

The GI JOE RENEGADES ALMANAC captures the magic of the most whimsical GI JOE series ever with a wondrous examination of this amazing universe. This volume is packed with behind-the-scenes sketches, interesting facts, production artwork, and musings from the characters themselves. Relive the thrill of the only season of Renegades and learn what might have been had the show continued. Hard-core fans and neophytes alike will find this an essential tome. You won't want to miss it!

So the question is, do you want a GI JOE RENEGADES ALMANAC? Let's hear it Renegades fans!

The Walmart computers have been glimpses into "what could've been" in the past, showing listings for items that were planned, then subsequently canceled. For example, years back, they had a listing for a Transformers Alternators Cadillac XLR Megatron. That was just one of many other notable items that were listed but never saw the light of day at retail.

HissTank boards member ViperCommando has given us another glimpse into what could've been via the Walmart computers once more. This time we have a list of figures planned for the GI Joe 30th Anniversary line:

• KWINN
• DATA-VIPER
• CRIMSON GUARD
• NIGHT-VIPER
• MODERN FLINT

You may recall that Flint was actually mentioned in the Toy Fair 2011 GI Joe Press Release. Meanwhile, the Night Viper and Crimson Guard were both moved into the GI Joe Retaliation line.

As for Kwinn, Data Viper and Modern Flint, who knows? Since the Crimson Guard and Night Viper got moved into the Retaliation line, will the 3 unaccounted for figures eventually see the light of day as well?

IGN recently had chance for a small chat with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson AKA Roadblock of G. I. Joe: Retaliation.

In this interview, Roadblock [sort of] answered a question asked by many fans regarding his character in the movie; “Is Roadblock ‘a Ninja’ in G. I. Joe: Retaliation?”

The Rock says that his character cares deeply about other Joes and hints of a rise to leadership ranks as a soldier.

Mr. Johnson mentions that Roadblock is quite the cook and seen quoting poems.

Sideshow Collectibles has announced their next figure from their GIJOE line Snake Eyes and Timber Sixth Scale Figure Set! Snake Eyes and Timber will be available for pre-order next thursday.

Sideshow Collectibles Annouces Snake Eyes & Timber 12-Inch Figure Set

Before the commando known as SNAKE-EYES was recruited by the G.I.JOE team, he lived in isolation in a cabin located in the High Sierras, seeking refuge from the tragedies in his past life. His only companion during this period of solitude was a wild wolf that came to be known as TIMBER. Though never truly tamed in the conventional sense, Timber developed a protectiveness toward his companion, as Snake-Eyes did toward him. When Snake-Eyes joined the GIJOE team in its global pursuit of the terrorist organization COBRA, Timber remained close at hand and ended up serving just as critical a role in vital missions as his companion.

Sun Prairie, WI - March 10th, 2012 - What do you do when you’re disappointed by what you perceive as a distinct shortage of G.I. Joe fiction? HissTank member Don Maue aka Sgt Humpty decided to try writing his own! In October of 2011, he started work on a short story dealing with Iron Grenadier characters. That short story quickly turned into the basis for a fan-fiction blog. Tales from Castle Destro Volume I - Mercenary War is a collection of the first twenty-two chapters published at Don’s blog. Don Maue is an avid collector and customizer of G.I. Joe toys. He lives in Wisconsin with his wife and two children. This is his first e-book.

Now available as a free e-book:

Tales from Castle Destro Volume I - Mercenary War

As the head of the Military Armaments Research Syndicate (MARS), Laird James McCullen Destro XXIII is the world’s foremost weapons developer. His private army of elite mercenaries, known as the Iron Grenadiers, is a force feared around the world. But when a mysterious enemy begins targeting MARS interests with impunity, it will take more than a fearsome reputation if the Iron Grenadiers are to survive.

We will be featuring figures and vehicles that may have been overlooked by collectors and may deserve a second chance. Next up is SDCC James McCullen IX, yet another figure I find missing from a lot of my friends collections.

In 1641, James McCullen IX was captured and punished by the French for selling arms to the enemies of the King Louis XIII, even though he had also sold weapons to the French.

The proud, arrogant McCullen scorned his captors for the hypocrisy of their politics and the narrow scope of their comprehension. For his punishment, his face was covered with a red-hot iron mask. Rather than a reminder of dishonor, this mask has become a treasured symbol of the power wielded by the Clan McCullen.

We present you with another early review here at HissTank, this time for Infestation 2 GI Joe #1! This issue is scheduled for release tomorrow, March 14th 2012.

Infestation 2 GI Joe #1
Cobra has always had a penchant for dark experiments. This time they've gone too far and opened a portal to a realm of violence and madness. As squadron after squadron of Cobra Vipers falls under the thrall of the Elder Gods there seems no way to stop the hideous transformations that are taking place. The only hope lies in a group of already-insane Cobra agents... and a Joe named Snake Eyes!

Despite being a "GI Joe" title, it is largely Cobra-centric. How did it turn out? Read on to preview the issue, and read our review!

HISS TANK.com is taking a look at the past with out G.I.Joe Vintage ARAH Flash Back. First up is Battle CORPS Cobra Commander!

Code Name:
Cobra Commander
Cobra Supreme Leader

Supreme commander of the Cobra Legions, contraband arms merchant, international terrorist and real estate swindler, Cobra Commander is the ultimate enemy of G.I.Joe. Although no Cobra Vipers or even his trusted Crimson Guard commanders have ever seen his face, they know the man behind the mask is the most diabolical villain imaginable. This ruthless leader's principle desire is to totally crush the G.I.Joe Team, and take over the world while he's at it! His numerous attempts to accomplish this distorted dream of world dominance have so far been foiled by the Joes, but they are always on the alert because Cobra Commander keeps coming back stronger and stronger, with increasingly destructive weapons and vehicles!

Many more vintage o-ring Battle CORPS Cobra Commander! images after the jump.

Guitar World has revealed that Aerosmith is mixing their song "Legendary Child" for GI Joe Retaliation:

" When last we checked in with the boys in Aerosmith, it was revealed that the band would be contributing a track to a major motion picture this summer.

It's now been revealed that the film will be the new GI Joe movie, GI Joe: Retaliation, which is set to hit theaters in late June.

Guitarist Joe Perry revealed via Twitter recently that the track is called "Legendary Child," writing, "On the way to the studio with John B and BilliPerry to mix 'Legendary Child' with Jack, Warren and Steven."

"Legendary Child" is reportedly an outtake from the sessions for 1991's Get a Grip and will likely be included on Aerosmith's new album, which is still tentatively due this year."

According to the article, the song may debut on American Idol in May.

Thanks to HISS Tank.com boards member Ceraurus for posting up one of the best Baroness Customs we have seen here on the forums. This 30th Anniversary Custom Baroness upgrade could be a very easy figure for Hasbro to put into production.

"Here's a relatively simple one, outside of the work I did on the head. Of all the female figures, I felt that only ROC Helix body was usable for a 30th Baroness. Of course, it's not exactly a match for the original figure, so there are probably some tweaks I'll try out in the future."

Please Read the following update from GIJOE Collectors Club Updated 3/17

"Hello and thanks for your patience. We have come a long way since we turned off the stores approximately two weeks ago.

For those of you who are interested in the ongoing investigation, our original server has been taken offline and will ...be undergoing an investigation over the coming days. The current server online is a clone of the original with all of the critical data removed. If we find a reasonable cause for the security issue, we will let you know.

We have decided to change our store and forum software. It has been many tedious hours converting the existing data to work with our new store. All the membership data is loaded in the store. The forum will be brought online at a later date.

With our new store software, we have figured out a way to extend the deadline a few days. This means that everyone’s April magazine will run 7-10 days late. Our new cutoff date and time is Wednesday March 21, 2012 at 5pm Central Time.

The store has been brought online before its completion to allow renewals and new memberships. All of the features are not implemented at this time. We apologize for the length of this email but there is a lot of new information that affects all members.

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THROUGH THIS THOROUGHLY BEFORE YOU TAKE ANY ACTION. Here are the parameters for the new store:

1. Each membership must have its own UNIQUE email account.

2. Your store log in is the email address that this message came to. Your password is the same as the one you have been using at the former club store and forum. If you have forgotten your password, you can use the “remember me” function. It only sends your password to your email account; it does not send your login.

3. If you have a change of address, until further notice, please call our office or send an email to admin2@funpubinc.com or admin@funpubinc.com. We are running two systems in parallel until we are satisfied that the data is identical. Please email Customer Service as much as possible as the more they are on the phone, the less time they have to respond to your needs. Customer Service is available from 9:30-4:30 Central Time weekdays.

4. In order to bring this system online, we have not separated the Transformers and G.I. Joe Clubs into their individual online stores. At this time, both TF and Joe Club members will use the same storefront to place your renewals or new memberships.

5. Please look at the bottom of this email. It has your renewal date. If your date is prior to March 16, 2012, you will need to create a NEW account in the store, as we did not transfer your data. If your date is after March 16, 2012, you don’t need to do anything at this time.

Please let only those who need a membership renewal or new membership use the store for now. In a couple of weeks, we will have everyone start checking their account(s). In addition, please note that we will be discontinuing the Trooper Level membership in the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club.

6. Please note that if you had multiple memberships in your name; multiple memberships that all came to a single email address; or a membership in each club, we had to replace all but one of your email addresses with a dummy address. The new store requires unique email addresses for each membership. Your email and password will only work for one account. You will need to contact Customer Service to look up your other logins (dummy emails). This will enable you to change the login and modify your accounts if you want to have multiple accounts or accounts in both clubs.

7. When you renew or signup for a new account, you need to select your free figure choice. The selection choices are found on the signup page (Transformers members please select the “none” option. G.I. Joe members, please select 12” or 3 ¾”.

8. Please note that this store is a commercial package that has hundreds of merchants working with the same store software. It has features that will be new to us, but until we have some custom programming done, there are a few features that are missing from our old software. This is a totally different service provider and data storage facility than we have used in the past. One of the features this software has is to automatically renew your membership without you doing anything (provided you have a valid credit card on file). If you don’t want your credit information on file (the CVV2 code is never saved after the transaction), you can log in under the “My Account” feature and delete your card on file. In order to make future purchases or renewals, you will have to come back to the store and enter your information.

9. The URL for the new store is https://toyarama.com/store. At a future date, we will split the stores back into an individual store for both the Transformers and G.I. Joe Collectors’ Clubs.

10. As an additional security measure, please change your password when you log into your membership account. Do not use any password that you use with other stores or financial institutions.

We apologize for any inconvenience that the prior security issue has caused. On a side note, we are anticipating that the event registration software will be back online around the end of the month. If you have any questions, please use the email links at the bottom of all of our web pages and we will provide you with a prompt answer.

Thanks for your support,

Fun Publications Staff"
