Got an exclusive Heetseek missile set in the post this morning (eBay seller in Hong Kong)
I never had a GI Joe MMS as a child - the MMS itself wasn't sold here in the UK and it's Action Force repaint the SAS Force Missile System didn't appeal to me - I liked the Space Force stuff better. When I saw this in the pictures from a show earlier this year I thought A) It'll never get a UK release and B) I must have one for my 25th HISS to tow ! The box opens from the bottom, with a layer to hold everything in place followed by a gorgeous fold out diorama on the packaging insert surrounding the toy which features a woodland battle scene. From what I can see the Heetseek appears to be an unaltered original MMS mold, but with all painted black with the exception of the missiles which are red - so very similar to the version in the SEARS SMS set. The missiles don't hold in place very well - I've used elastic bands to secure mine. The MMS hooks up behind the HISS fine, which is a relief, but doesn't want to connect to my 25th VAMP - I suspect the tow hook on that may be modified. (as I've asked elsewhere - can anyone see what their 2th VAMP will tow) Getting the console stand to stow away properly was fun - a little tight on mine. Getting it out again was even worse ! Two figures are supplied with this set, both of which come with bases with their names on. The Scrap Iron uses the entire body of the one that comes in the comic 2 pack but with the blue rendered in a paler almost grey colour. He doesn't have his signature missile launcher - boo - but comes with a small silver version of the hand gun with the Mars Industries troopers & officers and a larger black rifle from the Mars Industries Trooper. The Scrap Iron may also be a nod to the SEARS SMS set - the instructions for the Missile System there picture him as the operator. I've not liked the Neo Viper so hadn't bought one till now - they look like they're a bunch of goons in Halloween masks rather than the superb mirror faced troopers of old. This looks like the carded release but minus the huge missile launcher. I'm liking the nice backpack with it's twin gun mounts - both of these guns plus the third handgun are included. Very happy with this set, but I do wonmder why it's out. It's the odd man out in this set of exclusives for Wal*Mart. The other three are all battle stations from the 1986 series, this is the only vehicle (as such) and there's no Cobra vehicle in the main ROC line that can tow it ! |

My camera is rubbish, so I'm afraid not. You'll just have to imagine it trailing behind my HISS

Notice that every time a person asks for pics, the camera is always broken or something?

I've seen other pics of it before, it's just nice to see different ones! I'm really looking forward to this set, I love the MMS/SMS missile launchers.

I can't wait to get my hands on one of these. Between this and the Twin Gun, my HISS tanks will finally have some armaments to pull around.
