That's a great looking HISS (although it look a little too easy to tip over)--I wish there had been more in Resolute. I would def pick this up if released, maybe with a little less on the back.

Man that new hisstank is so cool! I hope we see a toy of it. I hope we see allot more of resolute figures and vehicles. As well as comics cause I'm hooked.

that phrase (not the abbreviation, but the phrase) came from Basketball announcers didn't it? "Michael Jordan For the Win!!!" or somethin' like that?
on topic: i actually am not crazy about these vehicles: they're a little too "X-treme!!!" like the Hiss just has too many turrets: main turret, .50, missile turret ~ it reminds me of what i hated about later Joe vehicles, how they'd just strap missiles and guns on EVERYWHERE. I think if you lost the missile rack and the chain gun and made the main cannon a bit larger, it'd be a lot more appealing/less 'busy' looking. i do love the offset cocpit and desing of the turret and main cannon. The tomahawk design just looks so ridiculously large, if you compare the cockpit/cargo area to a blackhawk it'd be like 2-3x larger, like they blew up an apache to 4x it's actual size and strapped a cargo area too the bottom. Even think about the cockpit to cargo area of the Tomahawk toy and you can see if this was made to a toy it'd have to be twice as long. (unless you bailed on the troop carrying aspect and just made it an attack chopper) The ASP UMV is pretty sweet though! Most of the Resolute designs like the characters and the flags have pretty much left me drooling at their greatness, but i'm just not feeling these vehicles.

A Gatling gun is excessive, though. |

It's really not that big a deal, i was just thinking there's a lot of "wasted" space in the design, plus you'd never-ever see anything remotely accurate as a toy unless they 86'd the cargo area and just made it a 2 seater. i guess what bugs me is given how realistic-if-stylized a lot of the designs were, these 2 seem very over the top. yeah, i like the hatch gun it was the seemingly random gatling gun and rockets that were just too OTT for me...
