For those of you that are fans of the 12 inch line of G.I.Joe figures, this news is for YOU! The G.I.Joe Collectors Club has just announced that Mr. Sam Speers will be in attendance at the 2014 G.I.Joe Collectors Convention!
If you are unfamiliar with Mr. Speers and/or his work, then take the time to read the following bio that the GIJCC shared with us waaaay back in 2009 - Mr. Speers began work for the Hassenfeld Brothers in 1960 after replying to an ad for for an engineer in the local Rhode Island newspaper. His talent was recognized immediately and he was hired on the spot. His first product for the company was the Frosty Snowman Sno-Cone Machine. It sold 200,000 units the first year (which made Sam a company hero). Soon afterward, Sam was put in charge of product development for our favorite hero: G.I. Joe! Sam spent many agonizing hours over how to construct the moveable fighting man. His original figure was held together with rubber braids from a company down the street. He spent the rest of his time in the 1960's developing more G.I. Joe products and creating hundreds of other toys and games. After retiring from Hasbro in 1980, Sam continued to design and develop all types of products. Mr. Spears is a living legend and a most welcomed addition to the JoeCon 2014 list of guests! You can share your thoughts on this and other JoeCon news right here on the Hisstank.com Forums!... [Read More] |

As a young sailor, Keel Haul graduated from the Annapolis and Navy Flight School, and cut his chops flying Phantom F4s off the USS Intrepid aircraft carrier. In the service, he earned the navy Cross, Distinguished Flying Cross, and Air Medal. His career trajectory then took him to Navy War College and Armed Forces Staff College. His years of leadership training and fearlessness under fire made him the perfect choice to lead the G.I. Joe naval forces as both a respected commander and capable pilot. he is a renowned military historian, a nationally rated chess player, and seems to have access to the world's best gourmet coffee.
Keel Haul perfected the art of take-offs and landings on aircraft carriers, even at night, so he knew it was his destiny to serve on the USS FLAGG (CVN-99). this nuclear super carrier is named for the late Brigadier General Lawrence J. Flagg, who was instrumental in the formation of the G.I. Joe team (even suggesting their name). The carrier now serves as the sea-based headquarters during all nautical missions.

Following capture by the Red Shadows in a raid, he was forced to work for the Black Major after witnessing all but one of his family members tortured and executed. A later special Action Force (SAF) rescue operation tragically revealed the last family member was in fact a sleeper agent that still remains at large. Bombardier was then recruited into the Special Weapons Force, which develops much of the equipment used in S.A.F. operations. Bombardier 2014 - 25th / Modern G.I. Joe Figures G.I.

Check out this cool Legends Scale Cobra Viper custom by Hisstank.com forum member lmateo002 aka D&D Customs! This 6" figure is near flawless and really gives weight to the discussion on whether or not a Legends scale G.I.Joe line would be a worthwhile venture (meaning would people actually buy it?)
The Viper's helmet is removable and most of the "armor" found on the figure is completely scratch molded. You can check out more images and share your thoughts on this piece after the jump.... [Read More] |

Hisstank.com forum member Tim 12RVC posted up this cool new custom Helicopter Gunner - Codename: Downfire.
Here's the backstory - A lot of vehicles have drivers or pilots, but also some empty seats for other figures. Sure, you can place any other existing figure there, but my idea was making a new custom figure "designed" for an empty seat in the Tomahawk. Bio: Helicopter gunners are crewmen tasked with firing and maintaining manually directed armament aboard a helicopter. A so called "door gunner" position isn't a very popular one, due to the exposed position of manning a machine gun in the open door of a helicopter. Downfire is an exception among the men who volunteer to do that job. Originally he's a mechanic, but he always finds a reason to seat himself behind the machine gun. Lift ticket had to admit, Downfire is the best door gunner he had in his Tomahawk. Therefore other members from the Joe team see him as a gunner at first. Having the skills of a mechanic as well is just a fortuitous coincidence. Join us after the jump to read more on this cool custom!... [Read More] |

As February has come & gone, we wanted to re-cap all of the awesomeness that is the Acid Rain line of figures and vehicles from our friends at Oritoy.
First and foremost, we wanted to bring you up to speed on our pending review of the Acid Rain ST-1 Stronghold Sand 303rd Quad Eyes. Although still planned, the review has been delayed. My goal is to bring you a review similar to that of Monte's, but I haven't had the chance to...so stay tuned! The great news here is, there's still been a ton of amazing photography posted around the 'net and right here on Hisstank.com. Our own Haradrel has dusted off his camera and has shared amazing images of his recently acquired Sol Commander and Winged Victory of Samothrace set. You can see those images after the jump and prepare yourself, as they're just as epic as Monte's! We wanted to remind you all that you can keep up to speed on all things related to the Acid Rain World by visiting the Acid Rain World Blog. Mr. Kit Lau, one of the driving forces behind the Acid Rain line does a great job of keeping us up to date on new pieces on the horizon, along with stories that help paint the picture of the Acid Rain World. Make sure to check out the upcoming Laurel, an Armored Suit worn in battle by warriors of the Acid Rain World! There's also an Acid Rain Flickr Group and Acid Rain Facebook Group! It's great to see so many enjoying this amazing line and we can't thank Kit, Mo and Oritoy for allowing us to bring the Acid Rain World to you! Make sure to check out past reviews here and share your thoughts right here on the Hisstank.com forums!
