Wow, what a night. I truly can't believe in 2008 that I'm going to walk into a store and be able to buy a Vamp, Ram, Trouble Bubble, Air Chariot, and Hiss tank. Talk about a dream come true. That's not even counting the new awesome figures like Clutch, Televiper, Rip-It, and the BAT. Anyone else notice that the Tele Viper is a reg. Viper with a new harness and head? Not that I care; I actually think it's quite cool.
Those Battle Packs are beyond awesome too! I really don't want the Weather Dominator Pack, but nothing will stop me from getting the 'toon Lady Jaye. Mass Device figures are amazing, even more so since I've been watching the original series on YouTube the past couple of days. Irradiated SE! Toon Cobra Trooper w/ correct rifle! Stalker w/ JUMP! Holy friggin cow! Baroness in diving suit!!! I seriously can't thank Hasbro enough for this. 2 years ago I got back into Joe with the DTC stuff. I tried to go back and get some of the newer sculpt stuff, but that kinda flittered out. I told my wife jokingly, "Man, if they'd start from scratch, I could buy everything." Now here we are. My wish came true. Yo Joe!

An open letter to Hasbro:
Dear Hasbro, Screw you and all your awesome 25th GI JOE product. I hope your happy knowing that I won't be able to eat anything except Mr. Noodles for weeks at a time thanks to you stealing all my money. Stop making plastic crack. You're nothing but a pusher and I'm just an innocent victim who can't help himself. If something should happen to me while I am selling one of my kidneys, it will be on your head!! Sincerely yours, Canprime. Dear Hasbro. Awesome job, thank you from a child of the 80's. |

I actually like it that the televiper is close to the viper. In fact, I would love it if most viper classes kept a close resemblence to the original viper. It kind of shows rank and I like that.

Good Morning Everyone!
Wow, what a great night it was, eh?!?! We've received great toy news, great movie news & more! 2008 is shaping up to be a FANTASTIC YEAR! Well, as CanPrime eluded to, maybe not so great for those of us that collect more than one line under the Hasbro umbrella...I need to get a second job, lol! Now, I wanted to take a moment and address some concerns that many have with the HissTank Gallery of this year's Toy Fair. - Yes, pictures are inverted, distorted, etc. Unfortunately, as DESTRO and the team were uploading pictures from NYC, wacky hyjinx ensued. We will have these issues addressed once the team is back home. We want to thank you all for your patience as we work through these bugs. - Yes, there will be more information shared today. On what scale? I honestly don't know. I don't want everyone getting their hopes up that today is the day we see a Terrordrome, because nothing along those lines has been confirmed. - Yes, while we were here reading, our fearless leader DESTRO was out enjoying MY home town. Will he bring us back pizzas & foam Statue of Liberty crowns? Only time will tell (no, I'm sure he didn't, LOL!). I personally want to thank all of you that made it an enjoyable evening! Now get ready for day 2! WOO HOO! - C.I.A.D., HissTank's resident 800 lb. Internet Gorilla |

You're welcome. Oh heck yeah. Brick Oven Pizza = WIN! After that he must venture over to "Love Saves The Day" and see if they're still overcharging on all of their (really my) vintage Joes & Transformers. LOL. |

Just a quick update on G.I. Joe information.
I guess I will start with the B.A.T. because it was the best figure shown. The Figure is the best B.A.T. we have ever seen. Complete classic! It has 2 back packs, one holds the arm attachments (Claw, Arm and Flame Thrower) while the other holds the Battle Damaged Head. All of the vehicles there looked great. There are no plans yet for larget vehicles for the classic line. If we buy these sets and retailers see the demand we will get things like the Rattler and Sky Striker in the future. Trust me when I say the G.I. Joe team wants to scratch that itch, but retailers need to agree to buy them first. The Battle Packs are going to be amazing.The Red Suit Baroness will be part of the M.A.S.S. Device and will come with Heavy Water. Snake Eyes and Cobra Commander hold the other 2 elements for the pack. I have new images that I will post up shortly that show great detail of the figures and vehicles. There will be very little G.I. Joe news from Toy Fair today since Hasbro has already done their tour. The stuff we may see today will be secondary and not part of the main line if we see anything new at all. P.S. The G.I. Joe Movie is going to be a great film. The story boards and fotage they showed was outstanding. I will be doing a new Movie update later on today with a lot of new information.
