I don't have one in hand so I can't say for certain, but by looking at the in hand photos posted by Novocaine31, they look like the same decal set. I compared the A.W.E. Striker and HISS decals and they're almost identical to the original counterparts. So if they followed suite with the AS and HISS, it's probably safe to say the '83 decal replacement set is going to be pretty close. The console pannel decal though I can't tell because I have not seen any photos of the Retro version. Hope this helps.

Fang delivered today. Ho-hum, but glad I got it.
It's definitely not a $25 toy, but its pricepoint is probably more to justify a $13 standalone figure.

I made a video last night looking at the FANG and comparing it to some stuff. I thought it might help answer some questions about the toy. FWIW I think the FANG is pretty solid.

Do you really see that happening? HISS tanks have all but dried up in my area and haven't been seen since before x-mas. Sure there are a few A.W.E. Strikers hanging around where I am, but I'm not so sure the FANG will hang around long enough to make it to places like 5B and Ross.

One of the things I love about this Joe community... when one or more of us is ailing or seeking information, you all circle the wagons to help. Thanks Flint (and others) for the info about toyhax and for confirming that the '83 FANG decal set should likely work. Worst case I've just ordered an $8 sticker set with Cobra stickers I can likely use elsewhere. Anyway, thanks for the assist folks!

I'm really torn. I kinda want the HISS Tank, but I mainly want the new driver. Unfortunately, the cost of shipping to Canada just isn't worth it for me. :(

Similar situation here. Our local Walmart has bubkis, the next closest has 2 AS and 3 tanks left in their stock. Been shelf warming since before Christmas.

It sounds like YMMV as to which vehicles are shelf warming, so perhaps FANG's will warm once they drop en masse. Would make sense.
