Released as the main pack-in figure with the HasLab Cobra H.I.S.S. Tank in December 2023, the H.I.S.S. (short for High Speed Sentry) Driver is a great addition to the growing army of Cobra troopers in Classified. When the figure was first revealed to fans, Lenny from Team Classified at Hasbro mentioned how he felt the H.I.S.S. Drivers and crew should be big, brawny and really strong Cobra troops - and the H.I.S.S. Driver certainly is a big boy! Featuring an all-new sculpt, he is without a doubt a big guy and looks like he moves and lifts a lot of heavy equipment all day long. The design and paint deco are very close to the original '83 design with just a few modern update here and there, which is fine since the original still holds up today.
The Cobra H.I.S.S. Driver comes with the following gear and accessories: a bladed rifle with removable ammo magazine, (2) alternate hands (clenched fists with armor), a pistol and a removable forearm gauntlet. Using the poll options, rate the figure on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being a total miss and a 10 being plastic perfection, based on what you feel the figure deserves. Ratings should take overall design, sculpt, paint apps and paint deco, accessories and articulation into consideration. Thanks for voting and Yooo Joe!!!

Since the HISS Tank crew were released at the same time with the HISS, I decided to go ahead and post all three polls simultaneously.

I give the driver an 8, like the gunner. Minus a point for the packaging and for the lack of paint on most of the weapons. For a 300 dollar/pound Haslab, I would expect a little more with the figures than we got. It should have been windowed packages and more paint detail on the accessories.

I'll give the driver the same score I gave the tactician, which is 8. I wouldn't call him a great figure but I think he is a good figure. Glad to have him in the collection

Gave the Driver a 10. Would have given him an 8, but the nostalgia factor for this guy runs strong in me since he was part of the first group of Joes I ever got in 1983 so gave him an extra point for that. Plus, I love the deco a bit more than the Tactician so he got an extra point for that as well.

9. Incredible figure. Incredible interpretation of my favorite vehicle operator. Don't like the non-articulated boxing glove fists. Would have much preferred standard fists.

10. Gunner and Driver are the two figures I kept from my Hiss order. Both are outstanding. No complaints. Probably the best 'feeling' figures I've ever received for Classified. They move perfectly. The paint aps are perfect. Plus, they actually have SHINY thigh-high boots. (Shiny parts are solely lacking in this line)

I think he is fantastic! A perfect figure; an easy 10 from me.

9 for me, and Ill be copy/pasting my comments here for all 3.
They're all good. Like really nicely done. Decent weapons too, though the pickaxe and shovel were a bit gummier than id like. That shotgun kicks ass though. Docking a point because none of them have any particular "Wow" factor, they're just cool figures going in the cool tank.

The OG Cobra weirdo. I have always loved this figure even though nothing about him made sense. Strange helmet, bulbous silver goggles, pointy shoulders, thigh high armored boots, bright red uniform. And yet it all comes together beautifully. This is a perfect rendition of my beloved character in 1/12 scale. The SMG with bayonet is a worthless accessory and will never be displayed nor will the boxing glove hands, but that doesn't affect my rating as the figure never needed any accessories anyway. I really liked the way the design team tweaked the HISS Gunner's face mask ever so slightly. I almost wish they did the same with this figure. A very solid 9.
