Hasbro PR has made available the press images for upcoming San Diego ComicCon Exclusive “Shockwave” HISS Tank w/ Destro and Constructicon B.A.T. as well as Kim “Jinx” Arashikage in both her regular red uniform and in the variant white uniform. Along with the press images, we get our first official looks at the box art for Shockwave and the card art for both Jinx figures.
Of note, according to GeneralsJoes Twitter friend Twitziller, the Jinx card art may represent the first time a 25th homage figure was released with “digital” explosion background. Someone feel free to correct us if we’re wrong, but I can’t seem to remember another figure using that.
Check out the official images below, and if you want to see what I thought of the upcoming SDCC Jinx figures check out the main release review right here and the white uniform variant right here.

The Cobra Special Forces Facebook page is quickly becoming the place to be for seeing some great new images from G.I. Joe: Retaliation. We’ve already seen some awesome Cobra Trooper images, Firefly, and of course Cobra Commander, so it only seemed right that we now get a good look at the Cobra motor pool!
Behold… the Cobra HISS!
Uhhh… AWESOME.

Well, it’s kind of a review. Since there wasn’t much that changed (other than the color) I didn’t necessarily go real deep into it, but I did talk about some of the differences of the two and of course included a bunch of pictures.

Over on HissTank.com, member Hicks_Royal has reported that he uncovered the rumored black HISS Tank in a revision case alongside the Cobra Fury. Of course, Hasbro also revealed over the weekend that the packages will be exactly the same on the two vehicles, so how can you tell which is which?
Well, I can’t promise this is a definitive answer, but Hicks_Royal reports that the product number is 02381. This “Product Number” is stamped on the bottom of the box. Check out the image below (courtesy of luigi from HissTank.com):

GeneralsJoes commentor and owner/admin of JoeDios.com Hammerfel was in attendance at SDCC and asked the Hasbro designers about this new color pallet for the HISS that was seen at preview night last night. This is what he reports:
“Slight trick of the light. I was there. Please see this pic.

It’s supposed to be gray. Not brown, not black, gray. I spoke to the designer about it and I will post a thread on JoeDios.com about the new HISS and its future soon. the designer asked me to pas on word to the Joe Community. Rest assured BROWN was not the intent.”
So yes, it would certainly appear that there is going to be some sort of running change with the HISS Tank from brown to either gray or black. Hey, I’m a big fan of the HISS as it is, but a change to a more gray (or black… please?) color scheme would only make it that much better. A huge thanks to Hammerfel for the updated information. He’s got some great images of SDCC Preview Night over at JoeDios as well, so keep your eyes peeled there.
