Wow!! Thanks for the huge response everyone. I was not expecting front page either. I am pumped that there is a lot of interest in doing some type of Hisstank.com Exclusive and I just want to be a part of it. I did the black version (Shadow Unit?? Sounds cool) as a test. That led to me want to do a more accurate Rip It, although I think more people like the black one.
Let me see if I can address some comments….

Yes, the Black Hiss Tank Driver (Shadow Hiss) is a quick repaint /mock up. This was done as an experiment for a Hisstank.com Exclusive Driver to go with a sticker sheet. I am actually testing the dye very soon bc I want to see if this will help improve the problem with paint chipping around joints. It is not an issue on the Blue Rip It bc it is a blue figure underneath so it is not as noticeable.

They do love to do repaints. Some work better than others. You never know, this may be a good possibility.

I actually had an idea for a Rip It custom that was all black cause of the mass produced blue one that comes with the HISS. I wanted him to be different. I was gonna go all black w/ dark blue highlights but now I see how an all black one looks. Very good job.
And on a side note, I was going to give him a custom HISS tank too. I was going to get this one:
YOJOE.COM | Cobra H.I.S.S.
I was going to paint a face on the side similar to the Target Night Spectre SHARC.
This would be cool. I have always been more of a fan of the original, but the larger tank offers some other possibilities.

The figure may be a bit too monochromatic, but it sort of reminds me of how the old Snake Eyes or Baroness figures were... An almost creepy black. Would be a hell of a lot easier to clean jumpsuit, for the Cobra Laundry-Vipers!
The card MCL has done is amazing and I agree the black is creepy especially with that cycloptic visor.
