Petition For Hasbro To Draft Mark Weber For Senior Manager – Global Brand Development And Marketing For GI Joe!

Posted on February 11, 2019 at 9:03 pm by xerofall under G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary

Please, show your support by signing and sharing a petition to Hasbro to draft Mark Weber for the Senior Manager – Global Brand Development and Marketing for GI Joe and Micronauts position for which Hasbro is currently recruiting.

Mark Weber was the former brand manager at Hasbro for GI Joe and gave us a lot of great figures like Stiletto, Sightline (Gary Goggles-Head tribute,) the Renegades Roadblock (in the SDCC IDW set,) and many more! Here’s what Mark has has to say about all this…

I’d love the chance to work on G.I. Joe again – I was disappointed to have so few items and such a small tooling budget to work with during my time on the brand. I’m proud of what I did (Sightline, Shooter, Tombstone, female Cobra Officer, Stiletto) given the limitations of the time.

I went back to school to earn my MBA – most brand managers have one and it’s sort of the price of admission. I survived without one while I was at McFarlane Toys and Hasbro based on hard work, creative ideas and toy insights, but it’s hard to get back in without one.

Let’s let Hasbro know that we want only the best for GI Joe and remind them that Mark Weber is the man for the job! Yo Joe!!

Joining The G.I.Joe Team – Bill Nedrow On The Creation Of Stiletto

Posted on January 18, 2017 at 10:38 am by C.I.A.D. under G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary

Hasbro Pulse has given us an in depth look at the creation of Stiletto, an all new G.I.Joe character brought to life by Bill Nedrow via Kindle Worlds. You may recall that Hasbro ran a contest, where one lucky winner would have their character brought to life in modern action figure form.

Here’s a brief blurb from the article –

Every good story starts with strong characters, and every character must start with a purpose. I never set out to create an action figure; I wrote with the intention of crafting the type of G. I. Joe story that I’d always dreamed of reading.  I’d hoped that G. I. Joe: First Salvo would resonate with other fans of the franchise, and when the overwhelmingly positive feedback I received informed me that it had, I began G. I. Joe: Honor.  Along the way, I continued to try to craft a character-driven narrative that would stay true to the rich mythology of the brand while still providing a take on the story that was original and unique.

Thanks to Bill, Hasbro and Kindle Worlds, we now have our own Stiletto figure. The entire article is a fantastic read and definitely something you’ll want to check out for yourself. Once you do, join us after the break for discussion already in progress.

G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary Stiletto Photo Shoot

Posted on October 20, 2016 at 11:33 pm by DESTRO under G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary, Photo Shoots

With her facial scar, dead eyes, and streak of white hair – as well as her mysterious past and knife-edged battle skills – Stiletto makes even the G.I. Joe team a little nervous. She joined the team alongside Cobra defector Felix “Mercer” Stratton action as his bodyguard and has since become a strong asset to the team. With skills that hint at Special Forces training, she is proficient in most small arms weapons and an expert in the use of bladed weapons.

New Image of Stiletto, Winner of the Amazon G.I.Joe Kindle Worlds Fan Choice Vote on The Pulse

Posted on May 24, 2016 at 5:38 pm by xerofall under G.I. Joe Various

Thanks to HissTank.com forum member Digital Ghost for informing us that Hasbro’s Pulse has posted a few images of their upcoming Fan Choice winner Stiletto from Amazon’s G.I.Joe Kindle Worlds. Set for a November release as a Toys R Us exclusive, Stiletto is Bill Nedrow’s character and you can find all his work on Amazon.com.

From Hasbro Pulse –

Last November the G.I. Joe fans voted through the Hasbro Pulse to choose a brand-new figure for the 2016 lineup based on three eligible characters from the fan-created stories available on Kindle Worlds. There are over 100 unique fan-authored G.I. Joe stories available on Kindle Worlds, and the character Stiletto (from Bill Nedrow’s G.I. Joe: Body Count) was the fan-voted winner.

Senior designer John Violette took the character description from Nedrow’s story and got to work. We knew the Stiletto figure would be unmistakeable facially, with a white stripe of hair in her braided ponytail and a diagonal scar running across her mouth and left eye. Well-known G.I. Joe artist Robert Atkins prepared the initial pencil sketches for Stiletto, which were adapted into the original head sculpt. Brand writers started building her filecard, and an illustrator designed her overall image.

With the head sculpted, an initial deco mock-up was created. While the first concept celebrated Stiletto’s heritage with traditional Thai colors, the overall look felt more ninja-influenced and didn’t give off a strong enough tactical vibe. A simple arm-swap improved the feel of the figure, and a new deco treatment was created as well. You can sneak a peek on the finished artwork that appears on the filecard.

Stiletto will be available this November at Toys ‘R Us and online through Entertainment Earth. Stay tuned to the Hasbro Pulse for more G.I. Joe news and notes, and we will look forward to seeing you in June at JoeCon 2016!

You can check out the original story by visiting the G.I.Joe Kindle Worlds Stiletto article.

Amazon Kindle Worlds G.I.Joe Fan Vote Winning Character Announced

Posted on November 23, 2015 at 10:01 am by C.I.A.D. under Other

The votes are in and the winner of the Amazon Kindle Worlds G.I.Joe Fan Vote is…

STILETTO!

Stiletto was selected from Bill Nedrow’s “G.I.Joe: Bodycount” novel and we couldn’t be happier for him! His character will make her debut in 2016 in the G.I.Joe toy lineup (yes, you read that right, there’s a toy lineup for 2016!).

Here’s the scoop from Hasbro Pulse –

G.I. JOE fans made their voices heard this last week, voting for their favorite new character to join the 2016 G.I. JOE toy lineup. Four characters (Adventure Team Marcus, Cobra Blackjack, Cobra Whisper and Stiletto) were selected from the 90+ original G.I. JOE stories available at Kindle Worlds and the fans spent a week discussing, campaigning, and ultimately voting for their favorite. The one-week voting campaign garnered thousands of individual votes and stimulated some meaningful online conversation. Our thanks go out to the G.I. JOE community, to Amazon.com and their amazing Kindle Worlds program, and especially to the four authors whose unique characters sparked such impressive feedback.

Every character received notable support, but the winner is Stiletto, from Bill Nedrow’s third Kindle Worlds novel – G.I. JOE: Body Count. The opportunity to write a character into G.I. JOE lore meant a lot to Bill, “It’s incredibly gratifying to know that I’ve made a small contribution to such a storied and beloved franchise. As I encouraged people to vote for Stiletto, I struggled to articulate how important this opportunity was for me. I hope that the G.I. JOE community will understand the excitement I’m feeling at knowing that my character will hold a place in their collections.”

If you haven’t yet, make sure to grab your copy of Bill’s novel, G.I.Joe: Body Count. You can also see the original announcement over on Hasbro Pulse. On behalf of HissTank.com, I’d like to wish Bill a huge CONGRATS! Thanks also go to Hasbro and Amazon for letting our voices be heard! You can join in on the discussion already in progress after the break!
