The figure features the iconic head of the driver we all know (and love?). Now let's take a look at the included H.I.S.S.
#GI JOE HISS TANK FULL#
The top portion can rotate a full 360 degrees allowing good poses and a fun way for kids to play.
When the center button on the top is depressed the tank is elevated. Now you've got a fully assembled Cobra H.I.S.S. I've marked the bottom notches in the left picture where the hoses attach. With the tank raised the next step is to attach two rubber hoses. There is a small belt of bullets for the machine gun that fits into one side of the gun and the tank. The missile launcher on the right is spring loaded and fires red missiles. The red button when moved from left to right will rotate the cannons that attach on the top. There is a small roll bar that attaches to the back of the tank. The handle bar comes attached to the seat so you simply snap it onto the back of the tank. I view it more as a way to transport a trooper. On the back of the tank is a hidden cockpit of sorts. This will allow the upper part of the tank to rotate a full 360 degrees. Take the upper portion of the tank and snap it into the circle of the elevated harness. Next you take the small double barrel machine gun and snap it into the hole of the underside of the tank's front portion. Each tread simply attaches to the elevated harness on each side. Nice touch Hasbro.Īssembly is rather easy. Yes - that is a lot of stickers! Notice all of the letters and numbers on the left side of the sheet? Those are used to customize your new H.I.S.S.
#GI JOE HISS TANK HOW TO#
The instructions are black & white and do a good job showing you how to assemble the vehicle and apply the numerous stickers. Also the cockpit doesn't have any translucent parts so don't ask me how the driver sees out the cockpit of the vehicle! From a distance (and in some of my pictures) it does look black so it's not a horrible color - I was just surprised that it wasn't the classic color. This new version is a dark brownish color. tank should be black and looks best in black. Let me go ahead and mention one thing that I was a little disappointed with once I took all the pieces out. You've got the main portion, elevated harness, tank tread assembles with rubber treads, cockpit cover, bag full of smaller weapons and accessories and a bag with the instructions and sticker sheet. Here is the insert tray with all the parts. Joe toys was that the vehicles would come partially un-assembled! One of the biggest draws to the old A Real American Hero vehicles was the fact you got to build the vehicle yourselves similar to a model kit. I believe one of the biggest announcements regarding the new line of G.I. Here's the desert battle story for the H.I.S.S. Each figure/vehicle is part of a different theme as the concept features the Joes chasing Cobra and their forces all over the globe. Also note in the bottom right corner - this vehicle is part of the desert battle sub-theme. I would imagine if you were skilled with an exact-o knife you could cut out the cards and even laminate them to make them look "official".īack of the box shows off the toy features. Tank driverīottom of the box features the driver's file card. Left end of the box (right image) features nice art work of the H.I.S.S. Joe Classified boxes, Cobra Commander gets a retro-style cardback.The top of the box features a smaller rendition of the same art work found on the front of the box. While the HISS Gunner, Driver, and Tactician will come in standard G.I. With its circular, stylized eye bumps it’s been called the “Mickey Mouse” Cobra Commander by collectors. And yes, that means specifically the initial straight-arm version, and its more simplified Cobra logo, before Hasbro really finalized the design. The 16,000 tier, likely to unlock shortly, is the biggie, with an all-new Cobra Commander based on his very first action figure. Along with her came two extra guns for the turret, and another set to clip on under the cockpit. The 14,000 backer tier, recently unlocked, added on a HISS gunner - basically a female version of the HISS driver. But of all the tiers they announced, the final ones are revealed and almost claimed. Joe Cobra HISS tank on track to hit its last goal of 16,000 backers by the end of this weekend, and more than 30 days left to go after that, the likelihood of even more bonus add-ons feels strong.
