We've got a new preview from IDW, this time for GI Joe #7!

GI Joe #7
COBRA TAKES MANHATTAN! It was inevitable once the G.I. JOE team relocated that COBRA COMMANDER would put the Big Apple squarely in his sights-and now THE MAD MONK is in charge. But the BARONESS and DESTRO are cooking up some schemes of their own. . . the question is: will those schemes make them allies to DUKE and company?

The new Star Wars 6" Inch Black Series has finally landed. After months of teasers San Diego Comic Con marked the initial release in this new Star Wars line, giving fans highly detailed 6 Inch Star Wars figures for the first time.

Boba Fett being the first figure released at SDCC 2013 and setting the tone for the future of the line, is one of the best action figure sets of the year. I am a fan of Star Wars but have never collected the line until now. Since picking up Boba Fett I have went out and picked up all of wave one that includes Darth Maul, Luke Skywalker, R2D2 and Sand Trooper.

When the idea of a 6" Inch Star Wars line hit, collectors of the line were skeptical and majority reacted in a negative manner. Since then I have seen a big shift towards the up-side of Black Series and many NEW COLLECTORS jumping on board to get their hands on the set.

Our question to G.I. Joe fans is this: Do you want a 6" Inch G.I. Joe Black Series Line? We have had this conversation in the past, but we have never had an example like Star Wars Black Series to view, and show how awesome Hasbro product can be in 6" Inch scale.

If you think you already have your mind made up, we just ask that you take a look at the gallery attached to this story before you comment. We have set up a poll for everybody to sound off on after the jump!... [Read More]

Thanks to HISSTANK.com board member sasmysquatch for posting up his custom POC G.I. Joe Assault Tank.

G.I. Joe Assault Tanks are used in close-quarters areas like cities. They are built for speed and maneuverability, when brawn and power are more important than flexible, fast-strike capability. Twin cluster cannons are mounted on a central turret, and the specialized tracks can advance over any surface.

Another contribution by fellow Tanker TheGabrielAngel. Over at our sister site TFW2005, he has posted a translated version of a new article by Beijing News. The article is an exclusive interview with Lorenzo di Bonaventura; the producer of the Transformers and G. I. Joe Live Action Movie Series.

While the article is mostly about Transformers 4, the producer mentioned a tiny detail regarding G. I. Joe 3. Ah yes, it is in motion.

Beijing News: Bruce Willis and Dwayne Johnson will return?
Bonaventura: I really hope that they would return, script is still in writing stage, considering adding a third important role.

As you all may remember, G. I. Joe: Retaliation was promoted left and right with the faces of Bruce Willis and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. So, who do you think the 3rd Major Character will be? Leave a thought on the thread associated with this news post.... [Read More]

When you think of awesome 80's toy lines, of course the heavy hitters come up - G.I.Joe, Transformers, Star Wars, etc. There were many other lines that were just deep fried in awesome and the Centurions are definitely no exception.

With the tag line of POWER EXTREME! - MAN AND MACHINE, The Centurions were comprised of three initial team members - Max Ray, Jake Rockwell and Ace McCloud. The toys themselves were big and sturdy, with tons of play value through the addition of snap on armor-like vehicles.

Hisstank forum member nath_1977 has hit another Centurion-centered home run, this time bringing Ace McCloud to life. The attention to detail makes this piece look factory made and is definitely something you won't want to miss.

Fred Van Lente, writer of IDW's current GI Joe ongoing title, is leaving, with his last issue being GI Joe #11. His partner in crime, Steve Kurth, will remain on the title. Fred is leaving the title due to scheduling conflicts. He felt it was best to let GI Joe go rather than to let it suffer due to the tightness of his schedule. This information was revealed earlier this week by Newsarama.
Van Lente says he is going to go out with a big bang. Here's some of what he has planned:

The “Threat Matrix” arc brings back a villain from the IDW G.I. Joe: Origins series, the Mad Monk. David Lapham created a compelling character that fans repeatedly asked me to bring back. After reading David’s terrific comics, I said “hell yeah!” and went about bringing the Mad Monk back as a major antagonist.

To me the Mad Monk is a COBRA analogue to G.I. Joe’s Duke, and he’s bringing a wave of terror to New York City. He challenges the G.I. Joe team to stop all his various plans he has set in place around the city, and it turns into a big race against time.

And there’s even more COBRA characters involved, including a very major subplot involving the relationship between the Baroness and Destro. I learned that their relationship in the IDW comics isn’t what it was compared to the animation and earlier continuity, so we spend a lot of time in Scotland’s Castle Destro.

With issue #11, the focus will be on Roadblock with some nods to Sigma 6:

Another era of G.I. Joe than fans like is Sigma Six – the manga/anime version that introduced Roadblock’s cousin Heavy Duty. So in G.I. Joe #11 we see Roadblock from Heavy Duty’s point of view and see how he’s influenced by his cousin. And keeping with the Sigma Sixera, there’s lots of wide eyes, screaming and speed lines.

1989 introduced G.I.Joe fans to new Cobra Troopers that until this day, remain fan favorites. One of those characters is the Cobra Night Viper. Sadly enough, this awesome troop builder only saw three versions, with two of those incarnations coming directly from the G.I.Joe Collectors Club (Although many would argue that the Pursuit of Cobra Jungle Viper is indeed the 4th)...well, that is, until now.

The final wave of G.I.Joe Retaliation figures brings this iconic character back in to the hands of collectors. Sporting his classic Night Vision Helmet and Sniper rifle, this figure is sure to make a lot of fans happy.

HissTank forum member jinx723 is back with another G.I.Joe Retaliation Wave 4 figure review, this time of Blind Master! Blind Master made an appearance in the original Marvel Comic continuity as Billy, Cobra Commander's son, found his way to the Blind Masters dojo. This is where we learn that Jinx was the Blind Master's protege. He was also mentioned by Jinx during her sparring session with Beachhead in the G.I.Joe animated movie.

In G.I.Joe Retaliation and per the figure's dossier, Blind Master is the wise and mysterious leader of the Arashikage ninja clan who can see what others can't. He is the toughest of masters and has trained Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow and Kim 'Jinx' Arashikage in the secret ninja arts. He is skilled with multiple weapons including the bladed shield, the flying saw and legendary nine-ring sword.

This figure has several unique characteristics - It's the first time (to my knowledge) that this character has seen it's own figure and it's likeness is none other than the RZA from the Wu-Tang Clan. Once again, jinx723 covers all points, including many pictures of the Blind Master with his different accessories. How does this figure pan out? Check out the review to see for yourself!...
