Your fellow HISS tanker ceraurus made this custom Cobra 30th Copperhead.
"I originally wanted the helmet and mask to both be removable, but I had to cut off his nose to get it to fit snugly so I decided to permanently affix the mask to the head. That's ok by me, I didn't need him to look just like the Rock. This gives it a little of a movie Bane look anyway, which I kind of like." Click the Discuss button for all the pics & details. |

Massive Black, one of the companies Hasbro brought in to do concept art/designs for Transformers Dark Of The Moon, has posted their concept art for GI Joe. The earliest of these designs dates back to 2008, some of which were used for the Pursuit Of Cobra. Some of the vehicle concepts later influenced the following:The vehicle concepts shown include:

The only Retaliation items we will see this year is the little Wave 1 product that are currently in stores now, so if you're interested in any of the Wave 1 line up, make sure to get while the getting is good! Thanks to http://www.kokomotoys.com/ for the heads up. |

Few months ago we brought you the news of an upcoming comic book by IDW regarding G. I. Joe: Retaliation.
Back then, we only knew of the name “G. I. Joe: Roots of Retaliation”. But soon we were able to know more about the book and the cover. From the information gathered, G. I. Joe: Roots of Retaliation is a collection of reprinted Marvel G. I. Joe comic books which were the basis of upcoming movie by Jon Chu. Now, Amazon is revealing what’s inside the book. The cover is now different as well, last time it was Roadblock who was on the front cover but this new cover features General Joe Colton. The release date has also been pushed back from June 27th to July 10th (At least it’s not 9 months). Here are the Chapters:

I'm annoyed at myself. I stumbled across a few of the figures at walmart a few weeks ago, picked up cobra commander, a cobra para trooper and a G.I. Joe army builder. I was hesitant to open them at first, this was prior to the movie being delayed till next year, I thought I'd wait a while to see if they were worth keeping MOC. Nope...later that night I opened all three...I thought army builders are useful...I'll find more, and how hard could it be to find a Cobra Commander figure from this line. Come to find out my Blue Cobra Commander is pretty hard to find, and a variant. wish i kept all three on card.

Actor Channing Tatum who plays role of Duke for the Live Action G. I. Joe Movie Series still doesn’t know whether he is to go back to the set for reshoots.
Earlier, rumors were flying that Paramount pushed back G. I. Joe: Retaliation almost a year to reshoot the movie with more scenes involving Channing Tatum’s character. "I don't know. Truly," Tatum said when asked if the rumors we'd see more of him in the revamped sequel are true. "I haven't seen the movie. I did my part and then all this stuff is going on, so they haven't come to talk to me about anything. They talk about a lot of stuff; who knows if it's the industry or the actual studio? You never know." The video of his statement is from MTV at the 2012 MTV Movie Awards. Check it out, after the jump. |

The Ghost HAWK II has received a lot of criticism since its debut at Toy Fair 2012. Be it the fact that it comes with an under-articulated Duke pilot, the fact that it deviates from the original GI Joe VTOL design by Massive Black, or the most common complaint, its color scheme! It's been said to resemble something out of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, 90's GI Joe/Battle Corps, take your pick.
However, in different colors we can see it in a new light. HissTank boards member sg3 repainted his Ghost HAWK II and added some new weaponry. The end result is a more militaristic looking Ghost HAWK II with a paint scheme similar to World War II era US Navy aircraft. Here's what Sg3 had to say: "I Repainted this in Gunship Grey and light grey. Added 2 mini guns on the inside weapons pylons and ditched the bombs and upper missiles. Took sheet plastic and filled in the bottom of the tail boom. Looked horrible not finished. I was disappointed in the refueling probe and the ordinance. Hasbro couldn't spend the few extra cents to make whole parts? This lets leave half of the parts unfinished looks like crap. I would have spent a couple of extra dollars for it to have fully formed ordinance and such. Otherwise I like the plane. The pilot would be better with more articulation. The sculpt is nice and I like the figure (and the fact the helmet is on he is no longer Duke). I have to get used to looking at it front on due to the fact that it looks like an Amtrak P42DC locomotive, lol, but still a neat looking plane." See it for yourself after the jump! |

With the premiere of GI Joe Retaliation pushed back to March 29 2013, some theaters still had displays up in anticipation for the original June 2012 release date. Thanks to HissTank boards member supermarines, we can see some theater displays from a theater in Turkey. Check them out after the jump!

Over the weekend, both Guyism and ICG Magazine posted new images of Channing Tatum & The Rock, and Snake Eyes. Duke & Roadblock are shown in a scene possibly involving the infiltration of a North Korean prison or military base. Meanwhile, Snake Eyes adorns the cover for the June issue of ICG Magazine.
Take a look at both images after the jump. |

On the flip side, presumably, if e-hobby were to offer exclusive GI Joe items to the Japanese market, a partnership with Fun Publications would be an opportunity to bring those exclusives here through the GI Joe Collectors' Club.
We haven't heard much else but stay tuned! |

More new photos from G. I. Joe: Retaliation has surfaced recently. This time by the photographer Jaimie Trueblood.
Out of the new photos, the fan favorite is surely the image of Cobra Commander. It is kind of strange these photos surfacing all of a sudden when the movie is more than 9 months away, but we certainly aren't complaining. Check 'em out... after the jump. |
