So I was looking at my Vintage ARAH collection this evening and I really think it would be nice to see a new Hiss Tank or equivalent for Cobra that was big and bulky. I can stack four Hiss tanks on top of my Rolling thunder...
I realize GI Joe was never and will never be truly accurate in scale, but with the Hiss tank being the work horse of the Cobra armies, wouldn't it be great to get a toy that is about two or three times the size, holds a bunch of guys and could double as a troop carrier while still bringing the heat with alot of guns and missiles? Thoughts? |

Eh, You can use any number of real 1:18 scale tanks for Joes. Cobra can use the aforementioned tanks with some paint mods, and the only way i'd buy a Hasbro vehicle is if it was A: Based on the HISS II or IV body ( a IV would make a great prime mover and/or troop carrier). B: It has to be at a minimum 10-20% larger than said original molds and C: It MUST have separate tracks/road wheels, none of this solid block crap.
Otherwise i'll just stick to the vastly better and manly 21st, Bbi and other armored vehicles. |

I'd love a HISS II upscaled for the 25A-style figures.
Or even a DTC HISS with cannons instead of launchers on the turret. (I slapped the cannons from the Dragonhawk onto my DTC Hiss to make my "perfect" HISS) |
