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.

Last week brought us some rather intriguing news. From Rachel Nichols stating her desire to play Scarlett in GI Joe 2, to her later tweeting that only Duke, Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow would return. 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.

Enjoy, and rep HissTank on your 'puter!

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.

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.
