According to the US Patent And Trademark Office, Hasbro made a new filing recently to retain ownership of the Cobra CLAW trademark(s). The image shown at the site was of the Rise Of Cobra release; Cobra CLAW With Air Viper Commando.
With moves like this, could Hasbro be planning to repaint the current Cobra CLAW mold for the Renegades line, or possibly considering an all new version? |

The GI Joe A Real American Hero toyline not only captivated fans after its inception nearly 3 decades ago, but as such, has a rich history. It's not often that we get a glimpse at what went on behind the scenes. While Hasbro and retailers alike tend to focus on present toylines/media tie-ins(and sometimes constant re-invention) as a way to keep the GI Joe brand relevant, it wouldn't have come this far without major stepping stones in the past. Being that the ARAH line not only lasted 15 years, but also outlasted Kenner's Star Wars line, we can objectively say that it was a major stepping stone for the brand.
Earlier this year, HISS Tank boards members Gyre-Viper, Roshan, and Jaimanstone worked on an interview with Bill Merklein, a freelance sculptor who worked on the line, and many others. Questions from the interview were drawn from various board members here, and the interview has been in the works for a long time. It covers the history of the line, the sculpting process for figures, and more! Thanks goes out to the aforementioned boards members who worked on the interview, and those of you who submitted questions. Thanks also goes out to Mr. Merklein for taking the time to shed light on his work and the line that not only breathed new life into GI Joe, but captivated our imaginations during childhood. Without further ado, here's the interview: |

Ever since the premiere date of GI Joe Renegades was pushed back from 10/10/10 to November 10th, and again then to a GI Joe Renegades Black Friday Premiere, officially confirmed this week, fans have been wondering about the lack of Renegades promotion/advertising. Sure we've seen the GI Joe Renegades 1st Clip. Yet on the boards it's pretty obvious that fans want more.
According to new info by MSN, we'll be seeing Major Bludd, Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, and a Bio-Viper in action soon. Here are episode titles and some descriptions for the 1st 7 episodes: The Descent: Part 1 A team is sent to investigate a Cobra facility. 11/26 The Descent: Part 2 The Joes track a Cobra bio-viper. 11/26 The Package Major Bludd tracks down a target for assassination. 12/3 The Return Of The Arashikage Part 1 12/10 The Return Of The Arashikage Part 2 12/17 Homecoming Part 1 12/24 Homecoming Part 1 12/24 |

Thanks to HISS Tank boards member KREXX who has posted his photos of unproduced Battle Rangers vehicles from the mid 90's. The Battle Rangers theme was a return to GI Joe's militaristic roots, away from the 90's trends that influenced the GI Joe A Real American Hero line towards it's final run on toyshelves. There is no neon, nor electronic lights & sounds, just straight up GI Joe vehicles.
Read on for a rare glimpse at what could have been! Still look back fondly at the GI Joe A Real American Hero line? Don't forget to check out our GI Joe Toys Vintage Discussion forum! |

During the A Real American Hero years of G.I.Joe, many unique characters were introduced to the line, including William "The Fridge" Perry, Sgt. Slaughter and the Italian Stallion himself, Rocky Balboa.
Rocky was even mentioned in the G.I.Joe Order of Battle series, but an omission was later printed stating that Rocky was in fact not part of the G.I.Joe Team. Although a toy was never made, HissTank.com board member Gyre-Viper has obtained images of 2Up version of this never released character. Also included are images of an unpainted ARAH Recondo and conceptual artwork of Sgt. Slaughter and his Warthog and everyone's favorite chromed out mail-in, the G.I.Joe Super Trooper. Join us in the discussion already in progress to check out more pics of the figure that never was. |
