Well, this is certainly an interesting little item.
Up on Amazon.com there is a pre-order for a G.I. Joe: Cobra H.I.S.S. Tank: Includes Light & Sound!
made by Running Press Miniature Editions. They apparently design and market miniatures of pop culture brands. Looks like G.I. Joe (and Cobra) have officially fallen within their wheelhouse. This kit also comes with a mysterious 48 page illustrated book. Curiouser and curiouser…
Pre-Order this bad boy on Amazon
. I know I will.

Fresh off of events featuring a story tied to the Sunbow 2-Parter “Worlds Without End” we’re getting another Sunbow themed follow up based on the classic episode “The Viper is Coming”. Of course any connection is pretty tenuous, as I’m pretty sure Blackout never appeared in that old school episode.

Check out some screen shots below.
G.I.JOE has received numerous calls from a mysterious informant whose cryptic messages lead the Joes unerringly to Cobra bases and operations all over the globe! The two sides clash as each tries to discover the identity of the enigmatic caller known simply as the Viper. Can Stalker, G.I.JOE’s original ranger, stand up to Black Out, Cobra’s cold, methodical sniper? How will your squads fare with the new debuff logic? Find out in the exciting Global Warfare event, The Viper Calls, on now!

The word has been out there for a little while that NBC comedy show Community would be airing an episode based on “G.I. Jeff”, which has some obvious ties to our favorite Real American Hero.
The Community Twitter account even posted an image of G.I. Jeff, which is animated in nature and bears a striking resemblance to a certain First Sergeant.
But wait… it gets better! According to the Twitter account of Mary MacDonald Lewis, her, Bill Ratner, and Michael Bell all play roles in this animated episode! They are, of course, the voices of Lady Jaye, Flint, and Duke from the Sunbow series.
No air date has been listed yet, but it certainly sounds like Joe fans are going to want to tune in for this one!

Hitting Kansas City this weekend is the region’s largest comic convention, Planet ComicCon, and for any G.I. Joe fans in the area, it’s something you’re going to want to check out.
Rob, the hard-working admin of JoeADay.com will be headlining a special 50 Years of GI Joe – the first action figure panel on Sunday from 2:00pm – 2:50 covering the history of G.I. Joe as well as the current fandom.
EDIT – Assisting Rob in the panel are great friends of GeneralsJoes Brian Sauer from Codename Iowa and Twitziller! I can’t think of a better crew of G.I. Joe enthusiasts and afficianados!
It’s awesome to see a comic convention devoting some time and attention to our little corner of the toy world, and even more awesome to see that a friend and fellow Joe site admin is hosting the panel.
If you’re nearby, you gotta check it out, and let me know how it is. I’m really wishing I could check it out myself.
Planet ComicCon is this weekend, running from Friday to Sunday, and again, this panel is from 2:00 – 2:50pm on Sunday afternoon. Join Joe A Day admin Rob and celebrate G.I. Joe’s 50th Anniversary!
