Take a look at some freshly posted eBay GIJOE Retaliation Movie images including Red Ninja and Zartan.

Zartan carries out his sinister missions for Cobra Commander. As the master of disguise, Zartan can impersonate anyone, but if you look closely into his eyes, you might see a tell-tale reddish glow that reveals his true identity!

HISS TANK.com is taking a look at the past with our G.I.Joe Vintage ARAH Flash Back. Next up is GIJOE Tripwire Funskool International Heroes.

Code Name: Tripwire

Tripwire dropped out of high school at a Naval base in Yokosuka, Japan (Father is career Navy). Spent two years in a Zen monastery pondering the meaning of life. Expelled for breaking too many dishes and spilling every conceivable liquid. Joined the Army at 19 and received spiritual awakening on the grenade range.

Tripwire freaks people out, he's always clumsy, jittery, and dropping things except when he's working with explosives. Explosives are the only thing that calm him down.

During the days of “pre Hasbro-Discovery Hub era”, selected members from News Sites were granted Press access to learn more about [then upcoming] Hub initiative.

Today we decided to take a look at updated One Sheets for popular Hub TV Shows. (In the entertainment industry, a One-Sheet or One Sheet is a single document that summarizes a product for publicity and sales)

Something caught our inquisitive eyes; each sheet carried an expiry date for each TV Show. While mega popular shows such as Transformers: Prime and My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic carries “TBD” (To-Be-Determined) as the expiry date, G. I. Joe: Renegades however is carrying a fixed expiry date of September 17, 2015.

Now, this discovery as you can assume, can be thought both ways; either we will get around 2 seasons more OR G. I. Joe: Renegades is gone for good. It’s nice to see that we got 3 more years till expiry, but lack of an expiry date on other TV Shows while Renegades carrying one, can also be looked upon as bad.

You can take a look at the One Sheet and the Character Description Sheet after the jump.

Looks like the G.I.

It is not clear how long these have been out on the market, but the first time I had seen these was this week, at Bealls Outlet in Florida.

Nuke The Fridge has announced that 2 endings are being screened for GI Joe Retaliation:

Screenings for Paramount’s “G.I. Joe” sequel “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” have been taking place in earnest with test audiences. However, the question is being asked, “Are all audiences seeing the same film?” The answer is, “No!” Apparently, studio executives are testing two endings to the film to see which one plays better with movie goers. In any case, the studio is taking care to ensure that their multi-million dollar action/adventure/sci-fi/thriller doesn’t lay an egg at the box office.

Nothing more was said pertaining to the endings, however, last week, NTF posted a review sent in from a reader who allegedly saw a screener for Retaliation. Read on to check it out!

Your fellow HISS tanker speedocub made this custom G.I. Joe Skystriker Decepticon Thrust.

"The fans are from the TRU Laser Storm drop ship. I cut away what I needed around the housing and extended the original Sky Striker wings with Styrene. The Sky Striker wings are removed from the internal gears and set perpendicular to the hull and locked in place. I used milliput to seal up the gaps and assist with the bonding of the three wing components."
