GI JOE COBRA Hiss Tank Factory Painted Prototype Rare | eBay After seeing Joe Declassified do a story on this last year I never thought we would ever see one hit ebay, but here it is. Does anyone have any info on how many of these might exist? Also does anyone even have a guess what this will sell for? I know I can't afford to bid on it but damn I hope someone here gets it. It's just plain ole sick!!! |

That thing is badass. And expensive as hell. Good idea for a custom paint job.

Joe Declassified did a story on it last year and showed a lot of pics and one was on display at there booth at the con. I like the Hiss 5 and all but I think the DTC hiss was the coolest one they ever made, I would love to see this come out in this paint scheme. It never will but it should. Even the Hiss 5 would look bad ass like that

This thing's hitting me at the wrong time of year right after con. Been waiting for that thing to show back up for a while.

I was buying these things at the end of the line during the Midnight Chinese craze. I think I saw maybe 5 total hit ebay around that time (dryhawk would have a better count than me probably cause he was a huge buyer at the time too and that I know of, the only person I know for sure who owns one of these is Nomad.) But I don't know how many went straight to collectors on the downlow. The few Chinese sellers at the time kept getting their accounts shut down on ebay, so I'm sure a lot of off site deals were happening. There was so much canceled stuff at that time, this tank, and the three Tiger Force Steel Brigades were some of the more expensive ones and at the time I wasn't able to pick them up.
For a very detailed write up about this tank, check out Joedeclassified #2 and go to Page 14: http://www.joedeclassified.com/wp-co...l2010_rev1.pdf |

I love this version of the Hiss Tank... the DTC version, anyway. I'm not a fan of the red and black stripes on this particular one. Too bad they haven't re-used this for the modern line.

Those DTC HISS aren't cheap. I'm glad I stocked up when they were $7 a piece clearance on Hasbrotoyshop four or 5 years ago whenever it was. |

Well, that red & black version looks like complete ass but you guys really should start begging Hasbro to re-release this mold next time you're at Joecon or SDCC or wherever you can corner them.

I like the tank, but I really want the proto Moccasin he is selling.
