HISS TANK.com is taking a look at the past with our G.I.Joe Vintage ARAH Flash Back. Next up is DESTRO!

Code Name:
DESTRO
Enemy Weapons Supplier

"If I didn't make and sell weaponry, somebody really evil would be doing it!"

From his grim castle in the Scottish highlands, DESTRO builds and peddles his instruments of destruction! DESTRO and COBRA COMMANDER despise each other, but maintain an alliance of convenience. Although DESTRO is twice the tactician and three times the soldier than COBRA COMMANDER, he is disadvantaged by his own sense of honor in the face of COBRA COMMANDER's utter ruthlessness! This master of armaments frequently commands COBRA's newest battlefield devastator-the Earthquake!

Weapons and Gear:
Laser-powered, rapid fire, "burp" machine gun.
Razor sharp, armor cutting disc.
High-tech, computer controlled disc launcher.

Ancient Scottish emblem symbolizing absolute power and the DESTRO family crest!
Steel mask symbolizing the pride and secrecy of the DESTRO family.

Wrist-based, tele-communicator.

Fun Publications sent out an email with further information about the recent credit card fraud issue affecting them:

Quote:
Here is the latest update on the credit card security investigation.

The firm we have hired to analyze our former ecommerce server and software has preliminarily determined that we did incur a SQL injection code attack sometime before Christmas. Our ISP did have a commercial product installed that was supposed to defeat these types of attacks, but apparently it failed.

This allowed the hackers access to our order information. While it is still unknown exactly what data they were able to harvest (investigation continues) we need to assume that they were able to extract all of our order information. The security firm thinks that this attack has allowed the hackers to come back periodically and harvest more information. However, once the old server was taken out of service (around February 21st) there was nothing left for them to access.

Once this information was stolen, (no matter if it was back before Christmas) there is no time frame as to when the thieves may sell or try to use the information to purport credit card theft.

What does this mean to me?

We are asking again that anyone who has used a credit card in our old online systems in the past year (NOT THE NEW STORE) to get your card replaced immediately. If you have done this already, there is no action required on your part.

We apologize for the inconvenience, we know this whole thing is a pain, but it is better to replace the cards than have to deal with any issues that may result from this theft of data. Even though the amount of fraud has greatly declined, we are still receiving a customer report every few days of someone else (who hasn’t replaced their cards) getting hit. We strongly encourage you to take this step immediately if you have not done so already. Again, this DOES NOT pertain to any cards that have been used in the new store.

What is the plan?

We are still working on all of the issues and are several weeks away from a final resolution. Our new store is currently offline while we complete the entries and audit the data from the renewals we received last week. Just to reiterate, this new store is a totally different piece of software, at a totally different hosting site. There are hundreds of other retailers using this same software as it is hosted by the software creators.

We hope to have the store online and registration system back online sometime next week. When the store comes back online, we will be adding products slowly so it will take some time to have everything back in the store.

Thank you for your patience and support during this trying issue.

Brian

Robert Atkins has updated his blog with a Scarlett illustration that he was commissioned to draw back in 2009. This original illustration was inked with Copic multiliner pens and brush pens and was completed in 3 hours. Here's some more background info on it:

I'm currently working through any of these I have outstanding for my blog posts in March and I'll keep working on them until they're all done. This Scarlett is one of those rare gems that really slipped through the cracks. Checking back in my records, I took this on at Heroes Con in 2009....!!!!! uh....So this is where the confession comes in. heh. I had completely forgotten about this. I think Mike might have as well, or atleast he forgot to bug me about it occasionally. Either way, it's been a ridiculously long time coming. Officially my longest outstanding con commission to date. Dang. So Mike will get this lovely Scarlett and a whole bundle of other stuff, books, prints and whatever I can find to cover my guilt. The one benefit to any of you that have to wait for a commission, is that I can guarantee that I'm a better artist than I was when you originally commissioned me. So there's atleast that benefit.

The best is yet to come, take a closer look by clicking the thumbnail!
