Does anyone happen to know which Non-Hasbro made Tanks work well as far as size with the 25th style figures?
I finally made some room again to set up my Cobra forces and put the new HISS tank up with them for the first time and noticed how small it looked next to the taller 25th style figures than I remember it looking next to the original figures. That's not too big of an issue for me as the HISS to me seems to be more of an anti-personel tank than a real battle tank. However, I do think my Cobra forces do need a big battle tank (and not a MOBAT repaint) but before I shell out the bucks for one I would like to know it is going to work with the taller sized figures. Any help with this would be appriciated (and if there is one in dark blue already that would be great...but I can always paint it if it is a different color). Thanks.

While I like my Cobra forces to use fantasy vehicles, and my Joes to utlize real-world tech, if you're looking for a basic tank, BBI is a great place to start:

so far I have 25th figs in a Chap Mei tank, Lanard tank, Forces of Valor Tank and Bradley, and a BBi Bradley.

For the most part they fit fine, a few figures with holsters/ sheaths on both sides may have issues in the BBI turrent, but the Chap mei and Lanard tanks have plenty of room.

For my Cobra Desert squad, I use the BBI LAVs. I also use a 21C M113 as a Joe engineering vehicle. For my "retro" Joes, I use a 21C Walker tank.

Most if not all should work, goofy, over-sized Hasbro holsters aside.

They work better than the Hasbro stuff, that's for sure.
