I'm just waiting on my order from cobrastickers to finish the H.I.S.S. (notice the lack of the large Cobra sigils on the sides). I decided to make the driver a Arctic H.I.S.S. Commander.

Thanks to all and I can't wait to finish it and for Hasbro to finally release the Arctic H.I.S.S.. I don't know why they are going to use a Stinger type missile launcher on it insted of the twin cannons though. And their version of the Arctic H.I.S.S. Driver is shownwith the same AK and I had one laying around so...

Probably so people don't scream 'repaint'.

could be, but they seem to market repaints of everything else.

Even so, splashing a white paint job onto a hiss and throwing it out there as 'arctic hiss' might push some fans into homicidal rage seeing as how the movie has pushed so many to the edge.

I just hope the gun/missile turret is swappable with the standard hiss. That way, people can chop custom tanks together.

This is cool as hell. I love the camo.
Do you have an album on your profile page?
I'd like to see all your work. I have been impressed by everything I've seen so far.

Thanks, that is part of what makes doing customs fun is the support. I started out making custom Star Wars figs and then saw the 25th Joes and started doing them because they were my favorite toy and cartoon & comic as a kid, and still are. I just really wished I hadn't been so into the REAL battle damage as a kid when playing with my Joe stuff, like filling the SkyStriker with gasoline and firecrackers, lighting it up and throwing it in the air because it got shot down by a Rattler, etc. Man, I had almost everything G.I.Joe back then and destroyed a bunch of it like that.

Thanks, I am thinking of doing a 5-pack setup like the TRU one with an Officer, Squad Leader & 3 Troopers

Don't forget the blueshirt being dragged to a friendly 'loyalty check' seminar. I've always seen them as a Cobra secret police.

So Officer, 3 Troopers & blue shirt? Maybe blueshirt sitting at a table in a dark room with a bag over his head and the Officer standing in front of him across the table & Troopers standing behind the blueshirt with their guns pointed at him?
