Last ARAH poll! I'm pretty sure the WHALE is going to take this, but I'm still going to put it up and see what happens. Maybe we'll all be pleasantly surprised?
I was tempted to just include the top 10 vote getters, but I didn't do that for the figures, so I decided not to start doing that with the vehicles. When I begin the Modern Era polls, I'll do it there and see how that goes.

i had the whale. it was a shell that i never had any interest in completing because all the parts to it are super brittle and it's cumbersome (like, it's huge for me as an adult, it would drive me nuts how big it is when i was a kid for what it is). not my favorite, but a welcome sight in a best of all poll that beats out the plebians flagggggggggggg shelf.
i also have the hiss 2 and i voted for hiss 2. it's a sweet vehicle. it's got all kinds of neat ways of putting figures in it and it is not the flagggggggggggg. neither are my favorite favorite vehicles. im not even really sure what mine is today; but of the two the hiss 2 would be on the list of vehicles i like. except over the thing i voted for instead of it during it's first and probably second round. it was a good run, and im relieved the flagggggggggggggg shelf isnt here. that in of itself is worthy of applause and pats on the back for everyone.

I had both the Whale and HISS 2, i fully expect the HISS to lose this but i voted for it anyway, my brother actually owned the whale and it was easily a great vehicle that deserves to be considered among the greatest joe vehicles ever made, but i have some fond memories of the HISS 2 and such a great upgrade over the original.

The Whale. Even though it's fragile, it's playability and all-around cool factor has not been matched.

Even as a "Cobra" guy, WHALE blows the HISS II out of the water (pun intended lol)

How the hell the Skystriker and Rattler didn't make it to the final ten is beyond me. But I've voted WHALE.

I think I had more fun with my Whale as a kid than just about any other vehicle.

Hey, Hasbro - this should give you a hint at maybe what the next couple Haslabs should be...

The Skystriker lost in the 1983 poll to the Headquarters and the Rattler lost in the 1984 poll to the WHALE. It was a pretty close vote between the Rattler and the WHALE... the WHALE only won by three votes. The Skystriker, however, not only lost to the Headquarters by more than double the votes, but also lost to the HISS.

Either go back to O-rings for vehicles, or go smaller like the Mega Bloks COD & Halo figures (but not the brick built vehicles) or smaller still with the figures being static like the little Sarge figure. Anything bigger than the HISS & Dragonfly in Classified is going to be un-maintainable.
