The 1990 assortment of G.I.Joe A Real American Hero figures introduced a rather unique character to the COBRA front lines, the Cobra Overlord. Equipped with his Dictator Attack Tank, Overlord was described as rising up through the ranks of Cobra's elite legions, namely the Crimson Guard. His ultimate goal? To seize control of both the Cobra Organization and it's expanded treasury!

We saw a re-make of this character in 2006 via the Cobra's Most Wanted: Mercenaries Box Set offered at the G.I.Joe Convention. Sadly enough, Hasbro never saw fit to re-make this character in modern form. Thankfully for us, Hisstank.com forum member Shipshape1983 has taken it upon himself to update the figure and the results are spectacular! The best part of this custom? The awesome back story that Shipshape1983 has given the character, expanding on his already alluring history.

You can check out more images of this awesome custom and the aforementioned back story after the jump.... [Read More]

To all of the brave men & women that have served, continue to serve or are planning to serve, we thank you and salute you. The following words were not fully written by me, but more eloquently capture what I was going to post here.

Each year, on the eleventh day of the eleventh month, we pause –- as a nation, and as a people –- to pay tribute to you. To thank you. To honor you, the heroes, over the generations, who have served this country of ours with distinction.

On behalf of all of us here at Hisstank.com, I say to you that the memory of your loved one carries on not just in your hearts, but in ours as well. And I assure you that their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

For it is in that sacrifice that we see the enduring spirit of America. Since even before our founding, we have been blessed with an unbroken chain of patriots who have always come forward to serve. Whenever America has come under attack, you’ve risen to her defense. Whenever our freedoms have come under assault, you’ve responded with resolve. Time and again, at home and abroad, you and your families have sacrificed to protect that powerful promise that all of us hold so dear –- life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Today, a proud nation expresses our gratitude. But we do so mindful that no ceremony or parade, no hug or handshake is enough to truly honor that service. For that, we must do more. For that, we must commit –- this day and every day -– to serving you as well as you’ve served us.

So again, I say to you all - Thank you for your service. We are forever in your debt.... [Read More]

That's where eBay comes in. We've gone ahead and searched eBay for all HAVOC related listings. The results can be found here - 1986 G.I.Joe A Real American Hero H.A.V.O.C. on eBay.

The G.I.Joe Collectors Club is chock full of awesome surprises today! Today we found out about the Membership Exclusive 12 Inch Figure - MAN OF ACTION, followed shortly thereafter by the 3.75 Inch Membership Incentive Figure - CROSS COUNTRY via the Club's all new website...but this? This goes beyond awesome! The Club has announced an add on vehicle for 2014 - the H.A.V.O.C. Mk-II!

G.I. JOE H.A.V.O.C. MK-II (Add-On Vehicle purchased separately)
[Heavy Assault Vehicle Ordnance Carrier]

Based on the colors of the original H.A.V.O.C. driven by CROSS-COUNTRY, this vehicle features an opening canopy, free-rolling wheels, a moveable windshield wiper and hi-velocity X-1 torpedoes. Plus, you can elevate the vehicle's launcher to rotate 360 degrees and fire four missile accessories!

The H.A.V.O.C. MK-II combines the stamina of a tank with the handling of an off-road vehicle. The result is a machine that makes its own road over tough terrain to battle the evil forces of COBRA.

It was 1988 when we were introduced to Shockwave, a new recruit for the G.I.Joe team. Shockwave had several incarnations under the A Real American Hero banner, being showcased in subgroups such as Night Force and the G.I.Joe D.E.F. team.

Shockwave was renamed Shockblast in 2008 and was offered as part of the G.I.Joe Collectors Club convention set that same year. Shockblast found new life in modern form, being released along side DESTRO as part of a G.I.Joe Resolute comic two pack and later in his Night Force colors as part of a Rise of Cobra Walmart Exclusive 2 pack.

The re-envisioning of this awesome S.W.A.T. specialist hasn't stopped there though! Our own nirvana7 has given Shockwave the 30th Anniversary style treatment with his amazing custom piece. The details are amazing, most notably the spot-on camouflage paintwork on the figure itself.

I know, I know, it's not even Thanksgiving yet. When it comes to helping kids in need though, the sooner we get on it, the better! Now how cool is this - Hasbro Toy Shop has teamed up with Toys For Tots to bring toys to girls and boys in need this holiday season.

The campaign, entitled Give Joy, works like this - For each order placed on HasbroToyShop.com from October 25, 2013 through December 25, 2013, HASBRO will donate, at HASBRO's sole discretion, one toy or game to the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, up to a maximum donation of 100,000 toys! How awesome is that?! While roaming around HTS, you know, looking for Cobra Night Vipers, I noticed that they also have a wide selection of Gifts for under $5. So if you're on a tight budget like me, you can breathe easier knowing that you'll still be able to help those in need at a time of the year where no kid, big or small, should be left without a toy.

You all have never failed to impress me with your selflessness and willingness to help others, so let's see what we can do about helping Hasbro hit that max of 100,000 donated toys!

Happy Shopping everyone!... [Read More]
