OK, seriously: NO MORE HISS TANKS HASBRO! Pretty please?

I like both figures and the VAMP though.

I'll be buying any extra Rip-It/HISS Commander figures anybody doesn't want too!

I have to agree. I love the HISS as much as the next guy, but enough is enough.

Now if they'd do stuff with the DTC HISS, *that* I would appreciate

I agree with Sidewinder about the white Hiss tank. Though it'd be nice if :hasbro:

took a page out of PTE's book and released a sheet with #'s on it so you could # your own HISS's.

1. You have to admit that the Hiss is the most Iconic Cobra Vehicle and will be included at least once more, maybe PP. maybe CG but we will see at least one more Hiss.

2. For those of us who could never afford Nice Hisses to Display - Now we can! and Displaying is Half the Battle

3. 10$ Blue Hiss - Its a wet dream fro a poor college kid like me - i'll gladly pass on a case of Beast (Milwaukee's Best) for a Hiss tank

Steve - Trying to make legit counter arguements - don't hurt me :shifty:

It's been a while since I checked, but don't vintage Hiss tanks go for something like 5-7 bucks a pop on ebay these days? At least that's what they were when I wanted ot sell a few...

Holy crap! Clutch really has a new head!!! And it looks good too! I really love that they tooled up some new boots for him. The vest is nice (reuse of Wild Bill???) and if he doesn't have a helmet I have a couple extras for him.

The VAMP is a nice update and something I really want to have a few of. Moreso than the AWE Striker, I can definitely armybuild the VAMP. Customizing a few will be fun too.

The HISS and driver aren't anything I'm real excited about. I'll get one to have and I'll use the single card driver in the cockpit with "Rip-It" in the gun turret. Or maybe the other way around. I'll have to have them in hand to see how they look.

The included stands are a VERY welcome addition that was missing from the Target releases.

So far, I'm pretty impressed with the vehicle assortment so far.

I think that's Duke's head with beard painted on. Looks an awful lot like the same tooling, though the starkly different eyes and hair color disguise it.

But that beard is NOT sculpted at all.

Everyone I have bought at that price point has had defects of some type...

from Toyfair. Definitely not sculpted, but torn on whether it's Duke's head or not, but I really think you might be right. The different painted eyebrows and green eyes really change the figures demeanor.
