Sad news to report today as Buster Jones, the voice actor known to G.I.Joe fans for his roles as Doc and Zap, has passed away at the age of 71. This news comes way via Noblemania. Buster Jones was also known for his work as Black Vulcan on Transformers Generation One as Blaster, Superfriends and Winston Zeddemore on The Real Ghostbusters. Some fans were fortunate enough to meet Buster Jones at BotCon 2012 where he shared some of Blaster's most memorable lines with hundreds of Transformers fans.
Your contribution to this franchise will always be remembered. Rest in peace Buster Jones.... [Read More] |

Our good friend 3DJoes stopped by to warn us of a fraudulent listing currently found on eBay. The listing is for a 1982 Sears Exclusive G.I.Joe Cobra Missile Command Headquarters. Since many are looking at vintage pieces now that the modern era line is slowing down, we wanted to make sure you're aware of this so that you don't end up getting burned. Here's the scoop from 3DJ -
---------- Hey Joe Bros. Please beware of this fraudulent item on eBay. They copied and pasted the description from my previous auction. G I Joe Cobra Missile Command Headquarters 1982 Sears Exclusive Figures Mint | eBay I have written the seller and asked them to change the description to more accurately reflect the item they are selling. I will report it to eBay tomorrow it it is not updated. Here's where their set falls short of the description: - figures aren't graded - Cobra Commander isn't the very first, very rare, "Mickey Mouse" version with the original logo, instead its a swivel arm 1983 figure - no blueprint - no sliding bottom AFA case They are vastly overselling their item by using my description. Finally they are not selling their item to help fund 3DJoes. I don't know them from Adam. ---------- It is in your best interest to avoid this item like the plague. Thanks again to 3DJoes for warning the Community!... [Read More] |

The Official Transformers Collectors Club revealed the final color sample for their G.I.Joe/Transformers Crossover Serpent O.R. figure today and in this reporters humble opinion, it's FANTASTIC!
For those of you that are unfamiliar with the character, Serpent O.R. (Organic Robot) is a humanoid bio mechanical construct from the Generation One continuity. He is also called Serpentor. Serpent O.R. was created in secret by a rogue group in the U.S. Military using captured Decepticon technology, including the remains of Megatron. Here are the details straight from the Club - A very interesting figure that has appeal to fans of both Transformers and G.I. Joe, this character is a mix of the greatest military minds from throughout human history meshed with Cybertronian technology - Serpent O.R.! As a reminder, the order period will be open through October 2nd, 2014. You'll need to be a part of the subscription service (and in that respect, a member of the Club) in order to obtain this figure, a single pre-orders across many online vendors have already sold out! You can check out more details here - Transformers Club Website Are you planning on adding this cool cross over to your collection? Sound off on the Hisstank.com Forums!... [Read More] |

The G.I.Joe and Transformers Universes have been intertwined for many years. In recent years, we've seen Hasbro embrace the G.I.Joe vs Transformers concept that was originally introduced in Marvel comic books by releasing themed sets as San Diego Comic Con exclusives.
Even the Transformers Collectors Club is joining in on the fun, by introducing their own crossovers to fans this year in the form of Serpent O.R. and Marissa Fairborn, the daughter of Flint and Lady Jaye along with Afterburner. Our customizers here at Hisstank.com are no strangers to the concept and Jerrymiru is no different! Check out his killer G.I.Joe vs Transformers Dragonfly Whirl Crossover! Using the recently released Transformers Generations "Thrilling 30th" Whirl as a base, this custom really feels like a Dragonfly in it's Alt mode, so it's great to see Whirl finally decked out in Olive drab! You can check out more images of this cool custom after the break!... [Read More] |

Thanks to HISSTANK.com boards member TheGabrielAngel for posting up his awesomely creepy looking MOTO-B.A.T.s
"B.A.T.s are the perfect COBRA troopers. They never question orders, complain about the chow, shirk duty, or surrender. They require no leave time, sick pay or benefits of any kind, and they are cheap and easy to replace. Their robotic design allows them to be customized for specific needs, such as the MOTO-B.A.T.s , they are the spearhead of COBRA motorized forces. These deadly soulless drones chase down G.I. Joes with their astonishing speed and maneuverability. The MOTO-B.A.T. troopers main strength is in numbers; swarming around their targets and confusing them with synchronized multi-barrel high rate fire. They use this advantage well, always traveling in large phalanxes across the highways. "Standard B.A.T. troopers are dangerous to everybody, so this version is a whole new kind of menace. The MOTO-B.A.T.s are seen to possess incredible agility, with the sensors calculating debris or obstacles ahead, even viewing them in slow motion. With this trait, they easily avoid any threat."...

Thanks to HISSTANK.com boards member pig iron grenadier for posting up images of his custom Modern Era Scarlett!
A brilliant mind, outstanding martial arts skills, and lethal accuracy with her trademark crossbow — that’s SCARLETT. The G.I. JOE team’s counter-intelligence expert has the cerebral savvy to get inside the mind of her enemies and design a plot that’ll outsmart them at their own game. She also has the combat skills to take on a squad of COBRA troopers and be the sole person left standing when the fighting’s over. She can make a HALO dive into hostile territory in the dead of night, then enter a heavily guarded COBRA missile silo and take it over as one-half of a two-person unit, and not even break a sweat. That’s skill. That’s training. That’s SCARLETT. Check out all the new Custom Modern Era Scarlett images after the jump.... [Read More] |

Here is some exciting news from some old friends at a new company!
Former Hasbro employees launch new toy design and manufacturing company Play With This Too! September 24, 2014 “You can play with their stuff, but you can PLAY WITH THIS TOO.” Manchester, CT – Several former Hasbro employees and toy industry experts have pulled together to form a new design and manufacturing company named Play With This Too (PWTToo). Play With This Too's goals include being a top brand developer, designer, manufacturer and wholesale distributor of high-end collectible action figures and toys. Their aim is to target the rapidly growing collector oriented toy market and produce products for both wholesale distribution and exclusives for conventions, retailers and websites. In February of 2015, Play With This Too will launch a crowd funding campaign to produce their first line of original figures. This debut line will consist of 6” highly articulated action figures with interchangeable parts and weapons. These figures will include intergalactic heroes versus ferocious monsters. In 2015, Play With This Too will continue to engage with potential licensors to bring official products based on existing brands to market. Later that same year, Play With This Too will begin to offer full service design and manufacturing, as well as intellectual property development for delivery over Transmedia networks. More information regarding both staff and products will be released at RETROCON (www.retrocons.com) September 27th and 28th, 2014 at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center. About Play With This Too Former Hasbro Transformers Creative Manager Rik Alvarez founded Play With This Too in August of 2014 after a year of preliminary development. Their mission is to deliver high-quality products while keeping costs to both retailers and consumers as low as possible.
