I got a Hiss III at Ollies today and noticed it has a slot on the top of the clear canopy, does anyone know what purpose it serves? From what I can tell all Hiss models from 2004 on ward have it. https://www.yojoe.com/images/resize/...s/hiss_top.jpg

I think it's open to allow air to escape and enter when opening and closing the canopy. It makes it easier to open and close.

I always just figured it was to save a 1/16 x1/8 x2" bit of plastic. I like your suggestion better.

I just thought of something else. Maybe the slit there allows for more give at the hinge part of the canopy so it's less likely to break at the hinge.

A little late to post on this, I was going back through and voting on the Classified figure polls I've missed and saw this post.
I tried to find the post from many, many years ago. It may have been over on the old YoJoe forums that I saw it. But I remember reading that Hasbro was going to put a light bar on the HISS III, it would just plug into that slot in the canopy. Sort of like how the HISS II has a light bar above the canopy. But for whatever reason it didn't happen. But every re-release since then has that slot. |
