It seems as though things are underway for G. I. Joe 3; the sequel to the G. I. Joe: Retaliation. Mr. Jon M. Chu returns to the Director’s Chair and some of the old faces are returning too. Evan Daugherty; Script Writer of Snow White and the Huntsman is confirmed to be working for the 3rd Movie.
Two weeks ago Director Jon M Chu visited Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson a.k.a Roadblock of G. I. Joe 2 to discuss his role for the next movie. Mr. Chu tweeted: "sat with @TheRock to discuss #GIJoe3 . He surprise bear-hugged me when I arrived and I LITERALLY thought I was being attacked by a bear." Yesterday he updated his Twitter account with: "G.I. Joe 3.... Whoa. It's gonna be out of control if I don't say so myself..." And also… "Any thoughts on how we should improve Snake Eyes suit design for #GIJoe3 ? More military? More tech? Rubber Lips? :)" With it, we now have a 3rd returning character confirmed along with Roadblock and Joe Colton.... [Read More] |

Our friends at Sideshow Collectibles have announced an upcoming 1/6 scale figure that will have fans jumping for joy! Hold on to your seats, ladies and gentlemen, as we will finally get to add DESTRO, Cobra's Weapons Supplier to our Sideshow Collections!
Destro Sixth Scale Figure Hailing from a long line of savvy war profiteers, we are proud to introduce the next adversary in our G.I. Joe Sixth Scale Collection, the Destro – Weapons Supplier Sixth Scale Figure! As a fascinating foil to the megalomaniac Cobra Commander, behind the beryllium steel mask lies a shrewd arms dealer who walks the line between evil-doer and man of integrity. Regardless of his true agenda, Destro aids the COBRA terrorist organization in many of its missions in world domination, with the lovely Baroness at his side. We have outfitted Laird Destro in a hand-tailored costume, complete with vest and long jacket for warmth in the Scottish Highlands, and around his neck hangs the remarkable McCullen ruby medallion, a treasured family heirloom. The head of M.A.R.S. Industries comes aptly equipped with an array of deadly, technologically advanced gear and accessories, including COBRA weapon blueprints and a satellite location tracking device. Always prepared for dangerous situations, Destro keeps a chrome pistol harnessed at his side, and a laser pistol concealed behind a secret panel in his communications case. His arm gauntlets house both miniature wrist rockets and hand grenades, signature examples of his cutting edge technology that pack enough punch to knock out a combat helicopter. SIDESHOW EXCLUSIVE VERSION The Exclusive Destro Sixth Scale Figure will include an alternative swap-out head, for a more realistic interpretation of ‘the man in the iron mask’ (shown above left). The Pre-Order will go live on October 10, 2013. Both the Exclusive and regular versions of Destro will be priced at $179.99, with payment plans available for as low as $60.00/month. Plan on adding Destro to your collection? Let us know by joining in on the discussion in progress after the jump.... [Read More] |

Thanks to events like the Komen Race for the Cure, we have invested almost $2 billion to fulfill our promise, working to end breast cancer in the U.S. and throughout the world through ground-breaking research, community health outreach, advocacy and programs in more than 50 countries.

Remember back in July when we reported that Harmony Gold sued Hasbro over the SDCC 2013 Jetfire Skystriker? Well, according to our friend General Hawk, it appears as though the lawsuit has been settled out of court.
Documents have been obtained via the Public Access to Court Electronic Records Database indicating that Hasbro and Harmony Gold have hashed out whatever...misunderstanding may have been in place. We have mirrored those images here for your convenience. What do you think about this settlement? Share your thoughts on this rather odd story with us after the jump.... [Read More] |

The Ultimate G.I.Joe wave, marketed and distributed as part of the G.I.Joe Retaliation Movie Toy series, introduced a somewhat obscure yet fan favorite character to new collectors. Although many are familiar with the history of Kwinn the Eskimo and the role he played during Marvel's G.I.Joe A Real American Hero comic book series, many new fans that aren't familiar with the character have asked "Who is he and how does he fit in my Joeverse?"
As such, we invite you to take a look at the character Kwinn the Eskimo, a song by the same name by Bob Dylan and the movie that inspired the character called the Savage Innocents starring Anthony Quinn. A question posed to Larry Hama revealed that the movie was indeed the inspiration for the character. enjoy! This was a painstaking process that took several weeks. I gathered up every issue of GIJOE that had Kwinn in it and scanned in the yellowed pages and retouched certain panels up in photoshop, brightening the colors to a quality that even the original comics did not have. Then it was a matter of selecting the best bits and pieces of the story of Kwinn that encapsulated the character. There was not enough material for a video to match the song so I dug deeper and included Ghost Bear, the DDP issues, and the recent incarnation(s) of Kwinn from IDW. This whole video was inspired by a random day of listening to the radio at work and the song "the Mighty Kwinn" came on. I knew that there had to be more than just a coincidence to this and after some investigation it was confirmed by Larry Hama that Kwinn was inspired from the character played by Anthony Quinn in the movie "The Savage Innocents". You can join in on the discussion on Kwinn the Eskimo with us here on the Hisstank.com Forums.... [Read More] |

As G.I.Joe Retaliation and it's associated retail presence fades away, many fans are eagerly awaiting the 2nd wave of figures from the G.I.Joe Collectors Club Subscription Service. As with the last wave, the Club has done an incredible job of offering a diverse selection of characters that are sure to appeal to collectors of all the different segments of G.I.Joe.
I don't know about you, but for me, the G.I.Joe Retaliation packaging was lackluster. I've always been a fan of card art and I'm sure that others would agree when I say that I'm pleased the Club decided to offer card art with each of their exclusive offerings. The artist behind the amazing FSS card art is a gentleman by the name of Adam Riches. A few of Adam's pieces were recently found by Hisstank.com forum member foxtrot27 and we've mirrored them here for your viewing pleasure. Included in the assortment is the card art for:
