Alright I’m back from my mission at the H.I.S.S Tank Factory (Hasbro G.I. Joe Roundtable with the Cobra Team.) First off at the end of our roundtable the G.I. Joe Team Emily and Lenny (Cobra Team) wanted to thank everybody for making the H.I.S.S. Tank HasLab such a success and sending a huge statement about the brand! This was one of the best Hasbro round tables I have ever attended with excellent intel. I wish I had more relevant question time to get the fandom more info but look at the following awesomeness the G.I. Joe Brand as a whole is receiving.

Next unlock #2 goal will be posted up by the end of the day they are working on it right now.

No Toys at SDCC 2022 from Hasbro this year in-person. Everything this year will be preorder online or sold online and shipped to you directly. Sgt Slaughter will go up at SDCC for sale to the public.

The success of the HasLab has opened up the line to further projects and gives the G.I. Joe (Cobra) Team at Hasbro room to expand on both the main line and future HasLabs.

Ripper and All Brand New Firefly are the last two figure announcements.

G.I. JOE Classified Series Cobra HISS Tactician figure is one per order (if you order 5 you get 5) and Ron will be doing the art for that box only.

Hinted at a special numbering “crafty number” for the set. (my guess is 788 if that’s true you are extra awesome Emily and Lenny!)

You will not see this H.I.S.S. Tank again they will not reproduce it, that does not mean they will not eventually see other colors or variations in the future or a new design H.I.S.S. Tank

As of right now there are no plans for further goals beyond the #4. Will need to revisit once that goal is hit.

O-ring line still working on future info for the fans on how it will be handled.

Making sure HasLab’s are dream items, special items you can’t resist that are must have for HasLab’s. Needs of Collectors in-mind when they make the decision to move forward.

Adding texture to the H.I.S.S. Tank HasLab ladder.

H.I.S.S. Tank HasLab will be on Display at SDCC 2022.

Update 1: Second seat will NOT be a unlock goal. It was discussed and the Tank can only hold one figure even if the weapons rack turns out to be removeable (still in design not decided on yet if it will be removeable).

There were tons of G.I. Joe youtubers and site admins in attendance and I would like to thank them as well. Justin Bell (Generals Joes), Chris (Full Force Podcast), Scott, Action Figure Insider and a few people I did not know but It was a good time. Lastly Thanks to Hasbro and the G.I. Joe team and every one involved at Hasbro for the invite!

This just in off the wire with some exciting end of year G.I. Joe news. The ever awesome threezero has decided to produce many more 1/6 scale G.I. Joe Action Figures!

Due to huge fan interest, threezero and Hasbro are delighted to announce that we are continuing the expansion of our 1/6 scale G.I. Joe collection throughout 2022 in part a celebration of the original toy’s 40th Anniversary! This series of fully-articulated collectible figures are redesigned by threezero creative team as inspired by Hasbro’s classic G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero action figures from the 1980s and 1990s.

The goal of threezero’s design and engineer teams have been to retain the original retro look while incorporating modern design elements in the costume, form, head sculpts, and equipment to offer a contemporary new presentation of the familiar characters you know and love.

The next characters in our line-up include Roadblock, Lady Jaye, Scarlett, and Duke from Team Joe.

Of course, we have not forgotten the ruthless Cobra organization, and you can look forward to Firefly, Baroness, and Destro who are also in development!

Thank you for your interest and support in this new series, and make sure to reserve enough space on your display for your flourishing G.I. Joe collection!

We now return to G.I. Joe Special Missions: Cobra Island!  Taking a look today at the second wave of G.I. Joe Classified Cobra Island figures, exclusive to Target in the US.  Many of us remember the first round last year which featured Beachhead, Cobra Trooper, Roadblock and the Baroness.  A stain on the otherwise awesome relaunch of G.I. Joe in the 6 inch scale.  Supremely awesome figures, horrible experience getting them.

That continues this round with the release of the Cobra Viper and Firefly.  Both are extremely well done figures being put out in the worst possible way.  Pre-Orders lasting seconds, videos of bots scooping up dozens at a time.  Stores with limited supply, receiving them random times – some before, some on, some after the advertised street date.  Target employees being annoyed to all hell about them, some knowing and some having no clue what’s going on, and collectors needing to hunt over and over in physical stores for a chance to get them during a global pandemic.

But, it is what it is.  We can all bitch, moan, huff and puff, but at the end of the day we are collectors (see: addicts) and need our fix.   As with the rest of the line, these are great figures, and we want them now.  I struck out in the pre-order phase, and in my one attempt locally was greeted by 8 other fans in a Target isle waiting for the employees to do their job and stock the pegs.  After several hours and multiple attempts to clear the area, a manager came over and said they weren’t there.  3 hours later those stock numbers went to zero online.  Fun.  Luckily a buddy scored an extra Firefly online and hooked me up.   The Viper, caught one on eBay and then another from a friend after eBay was en route.  Still waiting on them to land.

Now, on to the actual figure here.  Firefly is a modern upgrade with classic notes.  He has his traditional grey camo deco, goggles, comes with a bunch of bomb oriented tech gear.  Instead of the traditional vest, he’s got a bullet proof focused one based on real life gear.  The silhouette is different because of that, some think a little too far from the source.  Personally I am ok with it, it’s within the scope of Firefly’s character and a modern remix of the classic.  Many of the body parts are actually from previous figures, continuing the legacy of franken-joes.  Again, completely fine with that, nothing feels out of place.   It’s another core offering in the Cobra ranks that builds out the shelves.   Well done, welcome addition, worth a pick up.

All of these will probably find themselves redone later in less exclusive fashion, and most likely with some changes.  So if you aren’t fully addicted, but would get it if you could easily, just hold out.   For the rest of us, we’ll hunt and pay the stupid tax on eBay.  And then come online and bitch, our God given right as citizens of the internet.  :)

Read on to check out our gallery, some base and fancy shots to show what he can do.
