Snake Eyes has a pet wolf named Timber that has appeared several times in toys, comics and animation (most recently on G. I. Joe: Renegades episode “White Out”).

Taking into consideration what Ray Park tweeted recently, it seems as though Timber will appear on the big-screen via G. I. Joe: Retaliation; Live Action Movie by Director Jon Chu.

“I was thinking of adopting Timber Wolf while I'm shooting but i'd have no home and wife to go back 2;(“

Very interesting news appearing these days… who knows, there might even be a news that’ll turnaround those who are still skeptic about the G. I. Joe Live Action Movie Franchise?

Coventry Telegraph interviewed Ray Stevenson recently, where they discussed his roles in upcoming films. Stevenson briefly shed light on his role as Firefly in GI Joe Retaliation:

YOU DIDN'T HAVE MUCH OF A GAP BETWEEN SHOOTING THAT AND GI JOE 2: RETALIATION, IN WHICH YOU PLAY FIREFLY?

We did the last scene in the movie, which we finished at 2am one Saturday morning, and at 12.30 that afternoon I took a flight down to New Orleans to start on GI Joe 2. Literally out of the frying pan into the fire. I get to beat up The Rock twice, or I try to, and I get to play this cool, gnarly pyrotechnic guy.

So at least 2 rounds of Roadblock VS Firefly and Firefly blows stuff up.

Your fellow HISS Tanker kramer70 scratch built this custom Cobra Sea Serpent...


"Most the materials used is stuff you can find at a hardware store or Lowes or Home Depot. my parts list are as follows: big green PVC pipe that was cut, flower pots, trash can, pvc down spout catcher, parts from the cobra rattler, turret from vector jet, main gun from the corps tank, plastic sheets, foamboard, and other random kit bash fodder parts. The structure is about 4 1/2- 5 foot long and weighs about 15 pounds. As you can see the sub has many features including guns, missles, control room, torpedo room, engine room, turrets, opening hatches and doors, and a full custom made crew. the main side hatch that opens and closes to reveal the inside of the sub, was created using hinges and a magnet to keep it closed."

On Wednesday, September 28th, the TFW2005/HISSTANK/TOYARK family lost one of their own. Gary Clark, aka Optimus_Scourge, a former moderator and former photo staff member of TFW2005.COM, as well as a current moderator on our sister site ToyArk.com, passed away suddenly at his home. He was 34 years old.

He is survived by his wife and longtime TFW2005 member Luisa ("Arcee"), as well as his two sons.

Gary had a passion for Transformers and G.I. Joe. The only thing that seemed to surpass it was his passion for helping his friends and others in the collector community. Gary was always ready to meet someone new with a smile on his face and share his passion of collecting with others. The news of his passing comes as a total shock for countless members who had not only spoken to him recently, but had seen him at the last New Jersey Collectors Convention (NJCC) in April, and had planned to see him again in the next couple of weeks at the next NJCC.

Gary started as everyone does over at TFW2005 as a member. Over time he quickly gained the reputation of having a level-head, being incredibly friendly, and very out-going. Over the course of many years, he attended several BotCon conventions and became a close friend to many of us on staff. He became a moderator but his passion didn't stop there, and he also became a member of our Photo Staff. Due to circumstances beyond his control, Gary scaled back his participation from the site but could never let go completely, and was currently an acting moderator at our sister site, TOYARK.COM. He participated in numerous Transformers-related podcasts over the last few years.

Gary also met the love of his life on our forums, Luisa ("Arcee"), kindling their relationship at OTFCC 2004 and eventually getting married. To this day they hold the distinct title of being the first real-life love story to have happened thanks to TFW2005.COM.

Funeral services for Gary Clark will be held at The Fitzgerald & Collins Funeral Home in Marlboro, Massachusetts. The service will start at 3pm on Sunday, October 2nd. For more information, please check the following link:

The Fizgerald & Collins Funeral Home

In these hard economic times the cost of putting to rest our loved ones can make things even more difficult than they already are. Gary's widow Luisa ("Arcee", a long time member of TFW2005) has set up a PayPal account for anyone willing to send donations to help cover the major expenses (totaling in excess of $10,000 just for funeral costs alone). HISSTANK.COM is not directly connected to this PayPal account but supports the reason for its creation and supports the cause. Gary did not have any life insurance, thus all expenses must be paid out of pocket.

To send a donation via PayPal, be sure to select the option of GIFT, and send any amount to the following address: rip.garydclark@yahoo.com

To view the obituary for Gary Clark and to share your memories and pay respects through the funeral home, please click here.

The entire staff of HISSTANK.COM sends their sincerest respects and condolences to Luisa and Gary's family. We invite all of our members and guests reading this to share any memories they have of Gary in the current discussion thread. While we mourn his passing, Gary will never truly be gone as long as we never forget him.

Rest in Peace, Gary. And thank you for the memories.

In this episode, the guys are joined by Joe community member and GI Joe documentarian, club columnist and JoeCon panelist Kevin Watts to talk to him about his NJCC Exclusive HISS Tank and some past CLASSIC JoeCon memories. From the mailbag we are asked about our collection grails and asked to talk about the "neon" era prior to the 3.75" line's first hiatus. In the news we go over Cobra Commander added to the cast as a character in GI Joe 2. Also uncovered and discussed is some really cool Rise of Cobra art work from Mike Thompson showing us what we could have seen on some canceled products. Lastly, contest winners are announced, listener concerns about promos addressed and an early release for Episode 24 is made public. All this and Justin single handedly jinxed the Red Sox on their playoff run (Ack...Playoffs?!) , plus a ton of laughs (and some beeps) in this episode of WOJM!

Just a small update today about the future release of the DIC G.I. Joe series from Shout! Factory on DVD. Brian Ward had this to say about the upcoming release:

"We are working on G.I. Joe by DiC. Due to a NUMBER of other releases that have to come out this year, I'm not able to devote all the time necessary to get it out by December. But I can say that you should look for it not too long after that, most likely. Don't worry. Time and effort are being put into it. But we didn't set a date on purpose."

This is a rare chance to own a ROC Snake Eyes that never made retail!

This is a sample figure from the cancelled Pursuit of Cobra line of Arctic Snake-Eyes. This figure later saw release in the Pursuit of Cobra line as (ironically enough) Desert Battle Snake-Eyes. The most notable difference between the release figure and this sample is that this version is highlighted in blue and has a white visor, as well as different accessories as well has having the Rise of Cobra Logo on the jacket.

Your fellow HISS tanker, lance858a made this custom G.I. Joe Rebel Angels Snake Eyes to go with his Rebel Angels verse/fan fiction story.

"He arrived at the rally point before the Rebel Angels Lady Jaye and Cover Girl. As he waited, he watched the sun begin to set. He watched as the beautiful rays of light stretch lazily across the sky as it turned from a warm orange to a gentle shade of pink and finally dark blue before fading into night on the other side of the horizon.

It was in that brief moment of meditation that he noticed an eerie presence. Something was wrong. The uneasy feeling struck deep within him. It shook him to the point of fear, a feeling he hasn’t had in years. Nothing ever really frightened Snake Eyes. He was ever calm and deliberate in his actions, even in combat. But today, there was something wicked in the air. He calmly scanned the horizon, but there was nothing there."
