Sorry in advance if this is a repost!
So I got a new black HISS at TRU the other day and tonight I open it up and get the funny looking hiss driver ready to do his thing and sit in the driver's seat. The holster for his pistol won't allow him to sit inside his own tank. Stupid. Stupid. Dare I say it again? Stupid. He's in the gun turret now for the time being. I just can't get over how, say it with me now, STUPID this is of Hasbro. Did no one try to put him in there? No one? I tried to pull the holster off, short of shearing the plastic and ruining the fig, there's no taking it off unless I'm missing something here. Anyone have any thoughts on this one?

strange. the single carded HISS Driver fits fine inside my Target HISS. did they not use the adjusted cockpit minus the back of the seat for the new HISS Tank?

well aside from taking the leg apart removing the holster and filling it back with putty or something not much else. lord only knows why the put RIP IT with that and not the red one. they should made rip it single carded and the red hiss driver with the black tank like it was back in the day. i mean wild weasel some with the rattler...hes normal colored and slipstream some with the conquest and hes normal colored.

That's odd. My hiss driver fits fine inside my vintage hiss.

Let's not forget too that the Hiss Tank is an 80's mold and these figures aren't the same size as that 3 3/4 inch!!! You'll have to expect this if there are more vehicles that come out and might not fit the new Joe line! |

i'm glad they released the original tank driver on single card. it was never done and they are easier to find than the tanks are going to be. the target exclusives are a prime example. my hiss driver fits fine in that tank. i haven't got the new one because, oh, they're hard to find.

well height of the fig is no problem. it's solely the fault of the holster on his leg. Without that he'd fit in there fine. It's just blowing my mind that it got packaged this way. He's fine in the turret I guess... sigh... I've got other low rank reptiles to sit in the driver's seat.
If anyone really needs pics ;) it'll have to wait til tomorrow, but I'd be happy to post a few if ya like.

U gotta somewhat force him in there.
i have a target hiss tank and I gave up tryin to put the Cobra "driver" in the seat, he is now the turret guy. But with the w7 Hiss driver i noticed the holster gets in the way, but sits in the hiss tank alot better then the "driver" it came with! im a happy camper!

ok, on your advice I got forceful with my driver. Pop. He fits now. The holster is bent up a bit, but I really couldn't care about that. I guess I just want things to work easily. Sigh. Crisis averted. Stupid holster. I guess next time I have some trouble I"ll just remember that old golden rule of "kick it, push it, hit it until it works." Thanks for listening guys. On to other things I suppose.
