G.I. Joe Pursuit Of Cobra Retooled Sigma 6 Ir

HISS Tank boards member Gyre-Viper has kicked off the new year with several images of upcoming items for G.I. Joe Pursuit of Cobra, and Jurassic Park themed, repainted G.I. Joe items:
  • Iron Hammer Mechs, retooled and repainted for G.I. Joe & Cobra
  • A.W.E. Strikers in green camo, and desert camo, with drivers in blue, and jungle camouflage
Also making an appearance are the all new H.I.S.S. Tank, unreleased Shadow Hammer Mech, and the Silver Mirage! The Jurassic Park AWE Strikers and drivers feature InGen and JP logos. Without a doubt, these figures are certainly a step up over the current Jurassic Park figures at Toys 'R' Us. Could even more G.I. Joe repaints make it into the Jurassic Park line? Could G.I. Joe pursuit Cobra in Jurassic Park?

Could more retooled Sigma 6 mechs be on the way as well? As evidenced by the Shadow Hammer Mech images seen here, the unreleased Shadow Hammer Mech actually has new parts and some modular weaponry not shown on the retooled prototypes for Pursuit of Cobra. Could those modular weapons be included for final production, or pehaps on more, currently unrevealed mechs later this year? For that matter, the Dragonhawk from Sigma 6 was a popular vehicle, and could actually transport the mechs via a modular attachment port on the bottom. Many a 'Tanker here modified their Dragonhawks to fit 25th Anniversary G.I. Joes, and at some point were able to figure out how to fit 2 25th figures inside! Could a retooled Dragonhawk, able to fit 2 25th Anniversary/Modern Era/Rise of Cobra/Pursuit of Cobra style figures be on tap for later this year? It doesn't hurt that the weapons from the retooled Sigma 6 mechs shown are are actually compatible with the Dragonhawk as well!

HISS Tank Interview With G.I. Joe Origins Art
 
Originally posted by: Shin Densetsu @ Hisstank.com

Quote:

HISS Tank had the chance to interview G.I. Joe Origins artist Tom Feister recently. In this interview, Feister talks about artist's block, his favorite influences, his plans for G.I. Joe in the future, advice for aspiring comic book artists, and more!

Check out the full interview below, and don't forget to check out Feister's work on G.I. Joe Origins, The Darkness, and more!

HISS Tank-Will you be we teaming up with Tony Harris, your partner from EX-Machina again on a future *G.I. Joe* book?

Tom Feister- No.

HT- Who are your most significant influences?

TF- There are several, they range from Dave Johnson, Alex Toth, Adam Hughes, Gil Kane, Steve Rude, J.C. Leyendecker, NC Wyeth, Norman Rockwell, Albert Dorne, Mike Zeck, and many more. Wyeth in particular has a painting of a parrot in a cage, that looks incredibly realistic, but is rendered with just SIX brush strokes. I try to look more at painters and illustrators outside of comics. Painter Edward Hopper has been a huge influence on my work. His paintings are bascially just flat colors laying next to each other and the color choices describe the form of the image. I think my originals are dismissed by people because they don't see the final piece. I've seen my pen and ink drawings unfavorably described as looking "like a coloring book". Fine, I get that, but I think they miss the point. For some artists, that original is the work of art. I get that. I marvel at the guys that make highly detailed pen and ink drawings. But that's not how I see the image. To me the drawing is just step two. My approach to an illustration is that that drawing is just the foundation from which to make the final color from. The colored image is my goal. The more I put down on the inked version the less freedom I have in the color stage.

HT- That lives up to the saying of "less is more".

TF- Exactly.

HT- Do you have any vehicle covers in the works?

TF- There is nothing planned right now, but I'm hoping to do some eventually. I really want to draw a cover with the VAMP & Clutch. I beat the hell out of my VAMP as a kid and I feel like I owe poor Clutch some payback. The Jet pack has to show up too, but It hasn't come up yet* *NOTE: G.I. Joe Origins #13 features a Skystriker on the cover**.

HT- Between Rise of Cobra and Resolute, which one did you like best?

TF- I preferred Resolute. It was what I wanted the movie to be. I think the film maker failed

HT- What is your overall goal when illustrating your covers?

TF- My main goal is to get you, the prospective reader to notice it above all the other books on the rack and be interested enough pick it up and look at it. If I can't get the book in your hands you're not going to buy it. That's the job of a cover artist. Personally, my take on the look for Origins is I want the characters to look the way I originally saw them during childhood. ***Feister added that he prefers the V1 look of Snake Eyes with the ski mask over the V2 knight visor...something he shares in common with DESTRO***

HT- A question that came up at the start of G.I. Joe Origins, is why aren't you drawing the interiors anymore?

TF- There were serious family issues related to my Father's health that came up at the time I started working on #1 and it impacted everything in my life. I was falling behind schedule and Andy had to make a call. I still feel terrible about it. IDW was kind enough to ask me to stay and continue drawing the covers. After that I was just staying busy doing covers. I am still working on future covers Origins covers too. I'm working on #16-18 now and we're making plans for the rest of the year

HT- Speaking of interiors...

TF- Right now I'm doing interiors on a book for TOP COW. I'm really excited to be working with Ron Marz on it. I'm still hoping to draw interiors in the future for a G.I. Joe project with Merrill Hagan. Merril wrote the Snow Job issue of Origins and has a Batman story coming out soon too. Merrill and I have a Rock & Roll story we really want to tell. More than anything right now, I want Andy to let me do a Ghostbusters cover for IDW. My kid and I both love Ghostbusters, so much so in fact, that I had the Central Georgia Ghostbusters come to Jack's 5th Birthday party just like in Ghostbuters 2. For X-mas Jack got a Ghostbusters uniform complete with his name on the chest.

HT- What was your most memorable Origins cover?

TF- To me the most memorable one is related to a memory with my son, Jack, G.I. Joe Origins #8(Snake Eyes cover). Normally my son could care less what I'm doing. He just wants me to wrestle with him and play Legos, and talk about Sponge Bob. When I was coloring #8 and he walked up behind me and said "Hey, that's Snake-Eyes. That's awesome!" I finally felt like a cool Dad.

HT- What was the hardest Origins cover you worked on?

TF- The covers for issues 2, 5, and 13. I am never happy with my drawings of women. I've resolved to draw 5 women a day for the next year in hopes of improving my comfort level.

HT- You are part of a large group of fellow comic artists, and of course, fans are wondering, will *Studio Revolver* collaborate on a future issue of *G.I. Joe*, or even a series?

TF- That's not outside the realm of possibility; maybe in the future. Right now, everyone is busy on different projects for Marvel, et al. When Dexter Vines and I, along with Tariq Hassan formed the studio 6 years ago we thought we might work together more but we're all so busy with our own stuff it just never comes up for us to work together on projects. I just did a cover for a project tied in to an upcoming film called THE CRAZIES and Dexter helped me out on the inks. It's a very different style for me. I'm anxious to see how people react to it.

HT- If you could work on an established property, or your own creation, which would you choose?

TF- That's a tough call. My long term goal is to work on my own stuff. Having said that though there are a number of characters I haven't gotten to work on yet that are close to my heart. I need to draw Spider-Man before I die. Nightwing and Robin too.

HT- For the aspiring comic artist, would you recommend attending the Savannah College of Art & Design(SCAD)?

TF- The best advice I can offer is to draw, constantly. Find working artists. Hang around them; learn from them. Draw all the time. Bring a sketchbook with you, everywhere you go! Most guys I know got in the biz by being in the right place at the right time or by knowing someone who needed help with a deadline. Find any job you can that allows to to draw or be creative. The skills you develop doing it 8 hours a day will serve you well over time.

HT- How do you recommend dealing with artist's block(like writer's block but for people who draw)?

TF- I struggle with it all the time. It's like surfing; some days the currents are calm and you just sit on your board waiting. Some days the currents are powerful and you ride the wave as long as you can. Sometimes I sit at my desk and there's nothing. No ideas at all. Those days are pure hell. Those days come less often but when they do I get really depressed. I recommend keeping yourself busy with drawing, as it takes your mind off of it; keeps you from dwelling on it. What keeps me in good shape is to keep working as much as possible. Often I will sleep under my desk at the studio just so I don't break the momentum I have built up over the course of a week or a few days.


The staff here at HISS Tank would like to thank Tom Feister for taking the time out to let us interview him!

Rhett Reese And Paul Wernick Onboard To Write
 
Originally posted by: Shin Densetsu @ Hisstank.com

Quote:

Aside from working on Deadpool for 20th Century Fox, according to Collider, writers Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick are now onboard to write G.I. Joe 2:

Back in August, we reported Paramount’s Vice Chairman Rob Moore said a sequel would soon go into development. Since that time, the studio has provided no updates for fans.

But thanks to some very reliable sources, I can report a screenwriter has been hired for G.I. Joe 2 (or whatever it’s going to be called) and Paramount is definitely moving forward with the project.

While I tried my best to find out who landed the writing gig, my sources wouldn’t budge.

I also wasn’t able to learn if Stephen Sommer’s is going to direct the sequel or if they’re bringing in fresh blood.

Of course the sequel is still in the early stages of development, but since a screenplay has been commissioned and if it turns out that everyone involved likes it, I’d imagine we’ll hear a lot more about this in the coming months. Also, all the actors from the first film were signed for sequels, so that should make the process a bit smoother.

UPDATE:

As I said last night, a writer has been hired for G.I. Joe 2. What I didn’t know was…I should have said WRITERS. Thanks to a great source, I can report Zombieland’s Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are writing the sequel to G.I. Joe! This is on top of the recently announced news that they’re writing Deadpool for 20th Century Fox.

While I don’t know how long they’ve been on either project, as a huge fan of Zombieland, I’m really excited they’re on Joe.


One big thing to note aside from the new writing team, is that this time around, there IS NO writer's strike to hinder the process! May this result in a decidedly more thought out movie? Hit that discuss button and let us know what you think!

  • Tiger Strike with Street Viper
  • Jet Storm Cycle with Snake Eyes
Retail price at TRU is $14.99. It has been over a decade since ripcord vehicles have been seen in the G.I. Joe line(anyone remember the Battle Copters with the likes of Interrogator?). Will these new Rip Attack vehicles be a success with kids in 2010?

No Go For Gung Ho In G.I. Joe 2
 
Originally posted by: Shin Densetsu @ Hisstank.com

Quote:

According to a recent interview conducted by MTV, Brendan Fraser had no idea who he was playing in G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra. While we saw him onscreen as Sgt. Stone in Rise of Cobra, the identity of the character he was playing was not known, even by him, until much long after his takes were done:

“I want to say that I know the answer to that,” the star said with a laugh when we caught up with him recently. “Who exactly was I? I did not know until I saw the credit crawl when I saw the movie!”

“I think the character ended up being named ‘Sergeant Stone,’” Fraser said of a decision that was apparently made long after he had shot his scenes. “I think they might have picked it out of a hat.”

“I know [Stone wasn’t a toy],” Fraser added. “It wasn’t there [in the ‘G.I. Joe’ mythology].”


*Sgt. Stone was from Sigma 6*

Fraser was long rumored to be playing Gung Ho, and it turns out, the fan-favorite Cajun Marine might not be showing up in G.I. Joe 2 either:

But here’s the most interesting part: according to Fraser, the reason why Gung-Ho wasn’t in “Rise of Cobra” wasn’t that they were saving him for the sequel. Instead, it appears that Hasbro and Paramount couldn’t obtain legal clearance to use the name.

“For legal reasons, I couldn’t be Gung-Ho,” the star said. “I don’t know [why]; it didn’t clear legal at Paramount. Go ask them. I don’t know.” We did ask Paramount, and are currently waiting for their response.


In G.I. Joe 2, whether as Sgt. Stone or not, Fraser has plans for a more integral onscreen appearance:

“If I can emulate the character that they gave me,” Fraser said. “I’ll have to talk to Steven [Sommers, the director] about this. You know, that’s a good idea! I’ll have to do that over lunch.”

“I am looking for a job, actually,” he laughed, adding that the cryptic character may have an even more complicated backstory than Snake Eyes if Fraser gets his way. “Maybe I could be [his ‘Mummy’ character] Rick O’Connell’s great-great-grandson or something like that, who is actually in on being one of the Joes.”


So goodbye Gung Ho, and welcome whoever Fraser ends up playing this time around.

Pursuit Of Cobra Rip Attack Vehicles Wave 2 A
 
Originally posted by: Shin Densetsu @ Hisstank.com

Quote:

Remember that pilot Firefly figure from Rise of Cobra with the Elite Viper head that we showed you last month? Well it turns out, our initial hunch was correct and that figure is legit after all. Yet that isn't the biggest news update for today....

As reported by HISS Tank boards member Gyre-Viper, we are getting even more new, previously unannounced vehicles for G.I. Joe Pursuit of Cobra!. Pursuit of Cobra vehicles are already shaping up to be more exciting than the Rise of Cobra vehicles, with the designs not limited to movie appearances, but this time, the imagination of the design team! Troynos has also elaborated with more details. The intel is as follows:
  • We are getting another wave of Rip Attack Vehicles
  • New winged hovercraft with Snake Eyes w/Matt Trakker mask
  • Cobra ski mobile with Elite Viper w/pilot Firefly body
That's not all, we are also getting the following:
  • All new motorcycle(could this be a new Dreadknok cycle?)
  • Retooled Ghost HAWK
Now we haven't seen the Ghost HAWK since the Modern Era line, and being that Hasbro only used the mold for one paint scheme, it seemed inevitable that it would return eventually. More surprising was that it did not make an appearance in the Rise of Cobra line. That all changes now, as it has been significantly retooled! Details on the new Ghost HAWK are as follows:
  • Same body, canopy, and chin cannons
  • Engine intakes are now blocky instead of cylindrical
  • New landing skids
  • Missle launchers replace removable missles on the side
  • New stabilizers(horizontal/vertical aft of engines)
  • Comes with repaint of Lift Ticket, possibly with a new head

New Rise Of Cobra Wolf Hound With Whiteout In

Tffans has posted a new image of the upcoming Snow Cat repaint for the G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra line; the Wolf Hound with Whiteout! Sure we've seen the Wolf Hound before, but not like this. How so? The plastic this version is molded in is different, for example, Whiteout now features black stripes, meanwhile the canopy of the Wolf Hound is now transparent black, with black swirls in the plastic as opposed to brown on the previous sample.

Why such a variation would turn up now has fans scratching heads. Yet, could one of the Wolf Hound with Whiteout variations end up in a future Past and Present vehicle set? Join the speculation now by clicking the discuss button!

Hasbro's G.I. JOE Q&A Round Six The Answers

HISS Tank.com has just received Round Six of Hasbro's 2009 G.I. Joe Q&A. The answers to our 3 questions can be seen below.

Q) G.I. JOE OPERATION H.I.S.S. - Will there be a Full year 13 Episode 3D Animation series?

A) Operation H.I.S.S. is the name of a web based/online animation series launching on www.GIJOE.COM early this year. We are planning between 5-10 episodes for 2010 and each are several minutes long.

Q) In the last Q&A, you stated that the Pursuit of Cobra would hit stores in "the back half" of 2010. Does that mean the products shown at Joecon last year as part of the Pursuit of Cobra theme have been delayed? Or is that product still considered "Rise of Cobra" product and will still ship in the first half of the year, with a full "rebranding" in the later half with product that hasn't yet been unveiled (and probably won't until Toy Fair)?

A) The Pursuit of Cobra (POC) themed items will be released in fall 2010 and will replace The Rise of Cobra. Much of the product shown at JoeCon in 2009 is being adapted to the POC theme and will launch in fall 2010 with a never before seen packaging line look. This new look will be revealed over the next few months. The Rise of Cobra figures and packaging will no longer be shipped in fall 2010.

Q) What happened to the 3rd wave of Mighty Muggs (Shipwreck, Serpentor, Zartan, Trooper) that YOU said in a previous Q&A were "due on shelves soon"?

A) Unfortunately, this wave has now been canceled.
