Newsarama has posted an interview with Ryan Dunlavey, who has drawn the Real History Of GI Joe variant covers for IDW's GI Joe comic this year. Newsarama has also posted the aforementioned covers, so if you've missed out, read on as we've attached them to this post. The covers stand out as they are basically comic strips as covers.

Here's how Dunlavey scored the opportunity to draw the covers:

Ryan Dunlavey: Well, before this Fred Van Lente and I did a series of comic books about comic book history that IDW collected under the name Comic Book History Of Comics. That put Fred in touch with IDW to eventually take over the G.I. Joe title, and someone at IDW suggested along the way that he do a history of G.I. Joe in the style of Comic Book history of Comics. During the development of that, somehow I ended up being the one writing and drawing these one-page strips. I don’t know who came up with the idea of doing them as variant covers.

Make sure to look closely at the covers, Dunlavey has drawn a lot of small Easter Eggs in them! The rest of the article can be read at Newsarama.... [Read More]

Thanks to HISSTANK.com boards member johnboy walton for posting up images of his custom G.I. Joe 30th Anniversary - Captain Bludd custom. This custom was made to show how he got promoted to Major Bludd!

Captain Bludd received initial military training in the Australian Special Air Service, and later joined the French Foreign Legion. He worked as military advisor for a number of governments and is currently wanted for crimes in seeral countries. He's proficient with every form of infantry weapon in current use and has a tactical mind like a steel trap. He has received extensive training in extreme environmental conditions and currently leads an advanced COBRA assault squad in an undisclosed desert region.

Thanks to HISSTANK.com board member phantro for posting up images of his custom G.I. Joe vs Transformers Bludgeon Armadillo Tank.

Bludgeon is a Metallikato martial-artist, loyal to the Decepticon cause and armed with an ancient blade handed down from ancient times. Underneath the samurai trappings though, he's a pretty straightforward 'con: he loves giving people a kicking, he's willing to fight dirty, and he doesn't give a fig about your complaints of immorality.

Loose production samples of the upcoming San Diego Comic Con 2013 GI Joe VS Transformers Exclusives are now up for auction on eBay courtesy of viperskingdom. While many of you may wait to get these at the actual convention(or attempt to get them at HasbroToyShop.com), these auctions do provide us with images which give us a better idea of what to expect. For example, you can see the vehicles without stickers applied, and see what the sticker sheets look like. Also these do look a tad different than hand-painted prototypes usually shown at Toy Fair/JoeCon, so what you see here is what you most likely will be getting from SDCC. Up for auction are:

Absolute power! Total control of the world...its people, wealth, and resources - that's the objective of Cobra Commander. This fanatical leader rules with an iron fist. He demands total loyalty and allegiance. His main battle plan, for world control, relies on revolution and chaos. He personally led uprisings in the Middle East, Southeast Asia and other trouble spots.

Sometimes you come across a toy line that is so impressive, your immediate thought is simply...WOW.

That is the sentiment expressed when we became aware of a toy line from our friends at Ori Toy called ACID RAIN The War Under Pollution. Reminiscent of the customs made by Lance and Tankster, Ori Toys has really gone above and beyond with their ACID RAIN line. Oh, did I forget to mention that the line is compatible with your favorite Modern Era Army Figures? This is just a teaser review, as we will be posting hi-res images in the near future. The ACID RAIN story line is one of a bleak future, where vehicles such as the ST-1 Stronghold are commonplace. You can check out the story line page here - ACID RAIN story.

We here at HISSTANK were fortunate enough to obtain a sample of the ST-1 Stronghold, a Tank that converts to a Battlfield Robot. Words do this piece absolutely no justice. It's built to last, has a TON of play features and is painted so beautifully that one just can't help but stare at the piece for minutes on end. The ACID RAIN line will be distributed by none other than BigBadToyStore, so make sure to check back often as these are sure to sell out quickly.

We've mirrored images direct from Ori Toys of not only the ST-1 Stronghold, but of other pieces included in the ACID RAIN line. Ori Toys will also be producing their own 4 inch figures to accompany these amazing battlefield vehicles. Check out the photos after the jump and also check out this amazing review done by Vange1us on YouTube:
