Hello All,
Phalsis here.

I run my hobby shop in Va. and I have been selling the new and classic Joe range of toys for eleven years now.
The new Joes are wonderful, very nice, well articulated and just plain superb.
The thing is. I have had some comments from my customers about the new figures fitting into the classic vehicles.
The AWE striker for example; no problem but it has a lot of room anyway.
But the new HISS driver in a classic HISS is a different story. It's a bit snug and the canopy dosen't quite close on him.
Makes me wonder about the new RATTLER and CONQUEST.
Has anyone else had this problem?

They'll most likely retool the cockpits like they did on the new HISS so 25A figs will fit... but you never know, they might completely drop the ball like they did on Serp's air chariot...

There's a whole thread on 25th compatability with the older vehicles. As for the new vehicls, I was under the impression that Hasbro was retooling everyone to better fit the new figures.

Even with the new retooled Hisses you still gotta fight a little to close the canopy.

I never have a problem closing the canopy on my hiss, maybe you're not pushing the driver down in the seat far enough. The holster on his leg makes it a very tight fit
