In conclusion, the HISS Tank V5 is worth getting. The versatility and playability brought about by the extended attack mode surprised me. It adds more fun to an already cool looking vehicle. Could it be better? Sure. Add a more secure locking mechanism for standard mode, so that the main body doesn't elevate unintentionally, and bigger guns would be cool too. I can live without the interconnected gun swiveling gimmick. A repaint in black would bring out the vibrant stickers much more too. Not to mention, that would be a surefire hit with collectors due to nostalgia(and IMHO would just look better, nostalgia aside).
Is it the best HISS Tank ever? No, I think that distinction still belongs to the HISS II, but the HISS Tank V5 is one hell of a re-imagined design. I wouldn't mind seeing this again, retooled as an offscreen

vehicle. It's cool and I think has long legs and much potential. Hopefully Hasbro will make more use of the modular ports, as more weapons would make this HISS even better than it already is.
This isn't a HISS Tank with a highly compromised design and other aspects that make it fall short of it's predecessors. It's a new HISS that while it isn't the best, it certainly comes close and I think kids and collectors alike will be happy with it. I've seen other re-imagined GI Joe vehicles that fared off much worse and were compromised much more. The 2002 HISS Tank is evidence of this.

is off to a good start, this vehicle did a great job of kicking things off. I got the

too, and had more fun playing with the new HISS. In conclusion, I give this an
8/10
