Hisstank.com forum moderator and customizer extraordinaire phantro has posted up images of his latest transformable custom creation, the Cobra Royal Elite Wing!

The Royal Elite Wing is the group of Night Vultures that Guard the Cobra Temple. They are mainly a ceremonial unit who display their air prowess to the COBRA organization's high echelon since the temple has never been found or attacked by outside forces. However If the need ever arises, these elites are prepared to make the highest sacrifice in order to defend Cobra Commander.

You can check out more images of this amazing custom piece and share your thoughts after the break.... [Read More]

An amazingly touching video has been making the rounds on Facebook and landed on Larry Hama's fan page yesterday.

The Silence and the Darkness: A GI Joe-style tribute to my son's cancer survival, is a heartwarming video posted on youtube by Paul F. P. & Katrina Pogue. Here's a brief summary of the video, but I would definitely recommend reading the full write up for more information. The voice acting skills of Bill Ratner and Mary McDonald-Lewis, the original Flint and Lady Jaye, are put to use in the the vid.

Every May I create a movie-poster-style tribute to my son Armand's continued survival in the face of impossible odds. This time around I brought his sister Autumn-Rose into the fold and got ambitious with the above video .

First off, eternal gratitude to Bill Ratner and Mary McDonald-Lewis, the original Flint and Lady Jaye, who generously donated their time and talent to bring life to a concept that seemed impossible when I came up with it, and delivered narration that succeeded beyond my greatest hopes.

"The Silence and the Darkness" is both appropriate and ironic; it reflects our running inside joke that the kids have one good set of senses between the two of them, and also the fact that despite their challenges, you would almost never tell. He can still hear me whisper "hey, want some ice cream?" across a room (I still have no idea how) and yet sometimes misses stuff that's sitting right in front of him. (The phrase "are we sure it's his ears and not his eyes that are the problem?" is a frequent one in our household.) He may not hear very well and she may not see very well, but they are anything but silent and dark. That's the thing about these kids -- no matter the challenge in front of them, they always seem to find a way to work around it!

If you have an eBay and/or a PayPal account, it is in your best interest to change your Password(s) NOW. According to articles posted this morning, eBay has confirmed that it has been hacked.

EBay has asked customers to change their passwords after a database was targeted by hackers, according to a statement released on Wednesday.

The database contained encrypted passwords and was compromised in late February into March. While the database did contain customer information including phone numbers, birth dates, and email addresses, it did not include financial information, the company said.

“Cyberattackers compromised a small number of employee log-in credentials, allowing unauthorized access to eBay’s corporate network,” the company said in a statement. EBay has seen “no evidence of any unauthorized access to financial or credit card information, which is stored separately in encrypted formats.”

EBay users will be contacted by the company on Wednesday asking them to change their passwords. PayPal released a statement saying that an investigation has not uncovered any evidence that information for its customers was hacked.

“PayPal customer and financial data is encrypted and stored separately, and PayPal never shares financial information with merchants, including eBay,” PayPal said.... [Read More]

Ever wanted to see all of the G.I. Joe filecards in one place? I'm building a virtual Rolodex! 1982-1985, also know as "the peach years" (for the peach file card color) are now complete. Check them out over on The G.I. Joe Rolodex.

I'm re-trimming all of the file cards as I go, to clean them up and make the Rolodex look more uniform. I'm also updating these on each character page, so it takes a while. Stay tuned for 1986-1994 updates.

It's pretty simple, the one Hisstanker to get the most correct answers gets a free Night Viper. Only catch is, this is mainly for those who have not yet been able to get a Night Viper. I have a list of those who qualify(from reading the entire Let's count those Night Vipers thread). If you already have more than one Night Viper you are automatically disqualified. But feel free to post your answers if you like.

1. In what issue does the Night Viper make their first appearance?

2. Which Night Viper was chosen by Cobra Commander for Operation: Flaming M.O.T.H.?

3. What parts were used in making the DTC Night Viper?

4. What advantage does the Jungle Viper have over the Night Viper?

5. Including the one I am giving away, how many total Retaliation Night Vipers do I have?

6. In the DiC G.I. Joe cartoon, how were the Night Vipers shown as opposed to what is on their file card?

7. What other toyline has a character named Night Viper?

8. Bonus Question: In 2008 Jinx723 army built which trooper and how many does he have?

Today we remember all of the brave men and women that gave their lives while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. To those that still serve today, we know that we can never repay the sacrifices you have made to protect us, and for that we are eternally thankful.

Here are a few excerpts from a speech by former President Ronald Reagan (may he rest in peace) that show respect for this date better than I could.

-----

Today is the day we put aside to remember fallen heroes and to pray that no heroes will ever have to die for us again. It’s a day of thanks for the valor of others, a day to remember the splendor of America and those of her children who rest in this cemetery and others. It’s a day to be with the family and remember.

All of these men were different, but they shared this in common: They loved America very much. There was nothing they wouldn’t do for her. And they loved with the sureness of the young. It’s hard not to think of the young in a place like this, for it’s the young who do the fighting and dying when a peace fails and a war begins. Not far from here is the statue of the three servicemen—the three fighting boys of Vietnam. It, too, has majesty and more. Perhaps you’ve seen it—three rough boys walking together, looking ahead with a steady gaze. There’s something wounded about them, a kind of resigned toughness. But there’s an unexpected tenderness, too. At first you don’t really notice, but then you see it. The three are touching each other, as if they’re supporting each other, helping each other on.

And we owe them something, those boys. We owe them first a promise: That just as they did not forget their missing comrades, neither, ever, will we. And there are other promises. We must always remember that peace is a fragile thing that needs constant vigilance. We owe them a promise to look at the world with a steady gaze and, perhaps, a resigned toughness, knowing that we have adversaries in the world and challenges and the only way to meet them and maintain the peace is by staying strong.

Thank all of you, and God bless you, and have a day full of memories.
