HissTank forum member “BILL” has received the full compliment of Joes from the Assault on COBRA Island 7-Pack and posted images as well as a quick mini-review over on HissTank.com. Check out the thread and review here, and I’ve also mirrored the images below. Very cool!

We’ve all seen the trailer for the console version of the upcoming Rise of COBRA game, but for the first time, GameTrailers reveals the one for Nintendo DS, which has a decidedly different style:
Sorry for the influx of G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club related news, but I’ve had some time to dig through the site, so I’m uncovering a few things… I’ve seen many questions all over the ‘net regarding the Joe Con, so I just wanted to remind folks to check out the GIJoeCon.com FAQ Page for updates to all your questions and concerns.
Also, “The Commander” has posted some answers to a few questions on the GIJCC Message boards as well:
“1) No fuchsia colors
2) Viper has version 2 “fixed” arms
3) Hasbro limited our 25A mold usage and several of your suggested figure options were “In Production” at the time.”
So…it sounds like using the 25A tooling was a Hasbro dictation? I know it’s easy to cast stones (I certainly have cast my share this year) but I guess we should remember there are several legal and production hoops that the Club has to weave through during the Convention planning process that none of us have any idea about.
I still stand by my opinion on the Con Exclusives this year, but it is at least some food for thought.
Something that has sort of flown under the radar with the rage over the Convention exclusives is the fact that the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club has been slowly but surely updating the outdated archive of past newsletters. According to a news report on June 8th, the entirety of 2008 has been posted to the archive, and it would seem that we can expect 2009 to follow suit.
This was a major complaint that the fans have lodged, so I think it deserves some recognition. Certainly if we can lambaste the Club for decisions we don’t agree with (as I have with the Convention stuff) we can give them credit and kudos for the stuff they’re doing for the fandom sake.

I’ve gone on the record saying that my favorite projects are always the fan-based ones. Seeing what Joefans do with the property is always entertaining, especially when they do it better than Hasbro themselves. This definitely falls into that realm… granted, Hasbro first tried it with a limited budget and twenty-five years ago, but still…
JoeCustoms member and G.I. Joe enthusiast J_Man has been working dilligently on his COBRA Missile HQ project for a long time, and it’s finally complete! An awesome homage to the vintage Missile HQ, but done totally in plastic! That’s right, it looks just as cool as the original, but is MORE durable. It also looks to be customizable as well. I’ve mirrored some images below, but they do not do this project justice. If you like what you see, hit up D & J Toys and get on the wait list. I will personally vouch for J_Man’s credibility. He put a ton of effort and work into this project, and he truly did it FOR the fans. It’s gonna be very cool.
