Here's a link to pictures of the concept art used. I never saw these pictures when they were first posted in 2010. I really like the Night Viper, Payload and WORMS art.

I really like seeing threads like these get reposted every once in awhile. It's been so long since I'd looked at those pictures that it was almost like seeing something new.

Man, the original threads should be stickied. Finding this kind of info is the very reason I came to the Hisstank in the first place.

Damn! Anyone know if some of that stuff is still for sale? I'd buy several pieces right now.

I have always liked hearing some of the behind the scenes stories about Joes getting made, these were great videos back then and still are now.

I never realized until just now that Countdown was one of those figures made to look like a Hasbro employee:
Apparently David D. Dubosky is an IP lawyer for Hasbro. |

Great to see this stuff again.
This is a major piece of Joe history and should not be forgotten. I really need to get going on my Spearhead display. Need to get the Merklein piece framed. Need a Night Force Spearhead to go with regular Spearhead and need to get Special Missions #21 signed by Larry. I don't know.. the Hasbro confidentiality stamp in the bottom and the "received by sculpture" stamp that shows through on both sides seems pretty authentic to me.

Yeah, not sure what the benefit of a certificate of authenticity would be, other than to help out if you were going to eventually sell. That's where a cert would be helpful.
Keep in mind that Hasbro used color presentation artwork copies internally, as well as send a sculpting reference copy to the outside sculptors (amongst which Bill was one just one, but the most prominent one). But other official Hasbro internal copies of all this artwork exists. I own a large amount of it directly from the sculpting department. |
