G.I.Joe Star Brigade Manimals Vortex Review
 
Originally posted by: C.I.A.D. @ HissTank.com

Quote:
Many remember the original "death of the line" back in 1994. What many don't know (or may not remember) is that there were plans to carry the G.I.Joe brand in to 1995. The Line Up was to include various sub lines, including Battle Rangers, Ninja Commandos and more Star Brigade Manimals.

HissTank.com forum member Roshan has written up a review of a rare figure from this time line for our sister site, ToyArk. The figure in question? Well, none other than the Manimal known as Vortex.

Here's a piece of what Roshan had to say:

In 1994, Hasbro ended the 1982-1994 run of the GI Joe line, but not without leaving a lot of unproduced items on the drawing board for 1995. Some were so close to stores they were fully produced with packaging for dealer samples, and were listed as 'coming soon' on the back of produced Star Brigade card backs. These figures were the Manimals, and alongwith the canceled Ninja Commandos are the most sought after unproduced figures in the GI Joe collecting community.

Join us after the jump for the full review, detailed pictures and discussion already in progress.

Remember the Hasbro's Investor Day 2011 event? (of course you remember, it’s just the post below. How silly of me to ask). Anyway, we were shown a trailer (well actually we didn’t, we only heard it). And we did notice few things here and there. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is addressed as Roadblock and in a particular scene he is heard saying the classic children's bed time prayer; Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep.

"Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep,
If I shall die before I wake,
I pray the Lord my soul to take."

From a Tweet made by Ray Park (Snake Eyes of the Live Action G. I. Joe Movie Series), it seems as though G. I. Joe: Retaliation filming has ended.

Wrap Party tonight! Wahooo! Yabba Yabba Dooooo! Yoooooo Joe!!!!

Since we saw (heard) something very close to a Trailer (which ran for more than 3 minutes) at the Hasbro’s Investor Day 2011, we can safely assume that this is indeed the Wrap Party for the 2nd movie.

The movie is now in the Post Production stage and is set to release on June 29th, 2012.

G. I. Joe: Retaliation stars Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as Roadblock and Bruce Willis as General Joe Colton.

In addition, there is an update sent to WildBill from their designer Justin:

Hey RJ,

Just finished the TOP GUN sets for the Skystriker. Two different sets in the TOP GUN series: The "Maverick" set and the "Iceman" set. Each set is designed to be paired up with our generic markings set for the full effect, just like all our upcoming Squadron sets.

A big Thanks to all the Hisstank forum posters that gave me the info I needed to get the right squad markings on this set. I hope they like what I did.

Enjoy.

There may still be filming with Stunt and Stand-In artists but we are yet to hear a solid word regarding the current status of the movie.

Also, fellow HISSTANK member skinny tells us that Director Jon Chu replied to a tweet mentioning we will see the Teaser Trailer for the upcoming movie, very soon.

Leaks from G. I. Joe: Retaliation is next to nothing. Unbelievably, Transformers: Dark of the Moon filming which was given Top Secret tight security revealed far more than what we heard from G. I. Joe 2.

Aside from filming, we eagerly await Toy news, Comic Book news and all things attached with the movie release.

RUMOR - GI Joe 2 Retaliation FPS By Makers Of Brink?
 
Originally posted by: Shin Densetsu @ HissTank.com

Quote:
If you're a fan of the Brink First Person Shooter(FPS), would you like to see a GI Joe FPS based on the same engine? Rumor has it, that such a game may be in development. Recently, Now Gamer posted an article referencing a report by Industrygamers in which Splash Damage, creator of Brink, is said to be developing a game that....

....will be based on one of the biggest American pop culture brands of the last 50 years, and there's no doubt Splash Damage can do the licence justice. However, the project's success will depend a great deal on the backing it gets from the media company that owns the IP – a company widely believed to have given up on the console publishing business.

While some speculate that the IP holder in question may be Disney/Marvel, Now Games theorizes it may actually be Hasbro, as an FPS is more fitting for GI Joe than it would be for Disney. Also, Hasbro licenses its IP for games now in lieu of actually publishing the games itself. Add onto that, GI Joe Retaliation premieres on June 29th 2012. From the way Industrygamers describes the upcoming game, making such a game would be easy as the technology for online multiplayer is already in place, and it could use a further refined Brink engine.

In any case, if a GI Joe FPS using a more polished Brink engine is in the works, would you be excited for it?

Don Levine Discusses The Birth Of GI Joe
 
Originally posted by: Shin Densetsu @ HissTank.com

BarringtonPatch has posted an article about Don Levine's visit to the Barrington Preservation Society Museum. Who is Don Levine, you may ask? Levine is the very man who created the GI Joe action figure in 1964. He is also a veteran of the Korean War. Here's a blurb about how GI Joe came to be, and a surprising model for it in the form of a mannequin:

“I came back and felt that I had a duty to tell people about the real American hero,” Levine said. “That became GI Joe.”

Levine said just about the first decision he made was that “I wanted a moveable soldier. What’s the use of a soldier unless it could be moveable to ride in Jeeps and planes and boats and scuba diving.”

Levine said he found the model for GI Joe in an art supply store: the wooden dummy with multiple joints used by artists and sculptors as a foundation for their works.

Interestingly enough, Levine mentions that GI Joe was “the first toy ever to be promoted on a TV commercial.” Things have certainly changed as GI Joe toy commercials these days are rare occurrences, the last one airing a few years ago.

Linked to the article was a commercial featuring the original GI Joe figures, shown below:

Q: What was the design choice behind the look for G.I. Joe Renegades Figures

A: No Answer.....

Q: Any chance we might see "The Hub" rotate in other GI Joe cartoon series? GI Joe Extreme hasn't been seen since 1997, Sigma Six since 2006 (and never even got a full showing of its episodes in the US), or even season 2 of the classic Sunbow series (which the Hub still hasn't aired)?

Joseph Mazzello Talks About How He Was Casted For G. I. Joe:
 
Originally posted by: BCYOJOE @ HissTank.com

You may probably remember him as little Tim Murphy from Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park, but now he is a grown young man. We are talking about Joseph Francis Mazzello III (or just Joseph Mazzello for short) who has taken the role of “Mouse” for G. I. Joe: Retaliation by director Jon Chu.

Mr. Mazzello sat down for an exclusive interview with HeyUGuys. He was mostly interviewed regarding the return of Jurassic Park and his memories associated with the filming, but he had something to say about G. I. Joe 2 as well.

Quote:
And you’re currently shooting G.I. Joe 2?

I am. I’m on hiatus from that at the moment. It’s going great. [Director] Jon Chu is fantastic and we actually went to school together and he texted me one day with a ‘Hey, I have a role for you in my movie, do you wanna do it?’ I told him that for him I’d do craft services… and that was how it happened. I’m loving it – Dwanye Johnson is fantastic. I think you could crush me with his pinky… but he wouldn’t – he’s the nicest, most gentle guy. Channing Tatum is so much fun. We’ve had a blast on set and going out at night experiencing New Orleans the way it’s supposed to be done.
The interview happened back in last October and yet it somehow slipped through our watchful eyes. Initial rumors suggested that the character Mouse from Sgt. Savage and his Screaming Eagles will appear to entice young teen girls into the film. Later we heard the news of Joseph Mazzello being cast as the said character.
