Extreme Sets 1/18 Scale Pop Up Dioramas Review

Posted on September 5, 2019 at 12:12 pm by Tony_Bacala under Compatible Military Toys, Photo Shoots

Extreme Sets have been making cardboard based pop up dioramas for a couple years now, branching out from their wrestling roots and giving us environments to fit all our action figure themes. Most of these have been at the 1/12 scale, working with Marvel Legends, NECA, Star Wars Black Series and the like. Today that changes with the introduction of two new 1/18 scale sets. The Building 3.0 and the Deranged Alley 2.0. Building 3.0 is new, it just dropped in the 1/12 scale. The Deranged Alley 2.0 is a remix of one of their most popular sets, I’ve used it a lot for Marvel Legends and DC figures over on Toyark (Hit that link to see the 1/12 sets in action). Both of these now work with 3.75 / 4 / 1/18 scale. Prior to today, the only other one from Extreme Sets was the Command Station, which was cool but a little sci-fi. These new ones allow for some real world displays and photographing options.

Both sets feature the same modular display system Extreme Sets is known for – cardboard panels that tab together and can be reconfigured to your liking. You can create cornered street scenes or wrap them around into a building. The Building 3.0 set also comes with a roof if you choose to go building style. The Alley comes with flooring as well, and you can buy additional ground packs in the 1/12 scale to supplement that, or use with the Building set.

All in all they are great ways to get some spice into your G.I. Joe toy photography or display areas. We’ve run the sets for some pics to show what they can do and how they can be used, read on to check out over 55 HD images after the break! The 1/18 scale sets are in stock and shipping now at Extreme Sets. If you use code TOYARK at checkout, you’ll get 15% off your order!

G.I. Joe: Ever Vigilant Live Action Movie Is In Development

Posted on August 9, 2019 at 10:03 pm by Silver Optimus under G.I. Joe Movie

Back in July (exactly a month ago actually), HISSTANK learned that another G.I. Joe live action movie is in development due to the production hiccups of G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes.

It just so happens that The Hollywood Reporter found out more info on the second project.

“The companies have Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec, who wrote the recent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies as well as Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol, writing a script for what is described as an ensemble piece.

One of the characters in the currently untitled project is said to be Chuckles, who has not appeared in the previous Joe movies. While he is not the center of the film, the project is in deep development and things could change.”

From the sound of things, the movie is based on the earlier rumored Chuckles movie. Therefore, HISSTANK was curious to find out more. From what we learned, the working title for the movie is G.I. Joe: Ever Vigilant; the abandoned title of G.I. Joe 3. But, this may not be the final title of the movie; which is why the THR article mentions it as ‘untitled’.

It is indeed nice to have something to fall back on if there would be more delays on Snake Eyes side of things. Also, we would like to add another rumor which came our way. Much like Transformers: Studio Series, the next G.I. Joe toyline would simply be titled ‘G.I. Joe’ without any sub-titles such as ‘Snake Eyes’ or ‘Ever Vigilant’. If true, this general line would cater to any movie that would be out. But we are yet to confirm this rumor and you can check out HISSTANK for further development.

IDW Snake Eyes: Deadgame Arriving In 2020 With Rob Liefeld At The Helm

Posted on July 16, 2019 at 9:24 am by Silver Optimus under G.I. Joe Comics

We have received a press release from IDW regarding their latest G.I. Joe initiative with Rob Liefeld taking the charge.

“Two words: ‘BUCKET LIST,’” says Liefeld, “One more word: ‘ICON.’ Snake Eyes is Wolverine, Deadpool, and Spider Man rolled into one amazing character for an entire generation of fans that thrilled to his adventures in comics and cartoons and hung on his every toy release! My parents drove me all over the county to get me G.I. JOE action figures as a kid. These were my first and most favorite toys. Working with Hasbro and all my friends at IDW has been a blast so far. I can’t wait to get this work out into the public! If you enjoyed my recent Marvel work,” Liefeld continues,” this will match or exceed it!”

Titled as Snake Eyes: Deadgame, the comic book will hit the shelves in 2020. You can read more about it, after the jump. High resolution cover art are attached with this news post as well.
