I think the bells and whistles only add to the end toy, unlike sometimes gimmicks hurting the end product. I really like the full crew and the "Cobra Signal". It totally works as something Cobra would do to scare opposition. I think the price is actually reasonable in the end.
Whenever I look at the HISS tank, I can't help but be reminded of the original British tanks from WW1 (with the shape of the tracks), but the slick aerodynamic upper part reminds me of the S Tank from Sweden. Either way, I'd take one for a joyride given half a chance. Lovin' the reviews, Hoodie. Keep 'em coming. S
Amazing and your energy and talking about the Ron Rudat tribute got through very well! I wished I had the space to display one if I had a way to get one. Its the best of the best they have done!!!
That looks fantastic. I don't collect Classified but most of them do look pretty great. It also makes a lot of sense from a size perspective - when we were kids, our hands were a lot smaller, but now that we're adults, it does make sense to have bigger figures. My very first thought when I dug out my old collection was how small they were! The only thing that's maybe a little bit below par is the bumpy ride. I don't know if it's the treads or the wheels, but it's a little rough. Doesn't really matter though, as it's not motorized anyway, and nobody's taking it for a spin outside. The front end reminds me a lot of a DeLorean. They increased the space between the headlights so they now look almost identical, it's got that same matt hood, and they even put gullwing doors on it. I half expected to find a flux capacitor inside. And you're right, the Ron Rudat figure is great. The colour scheme is very close to the Strato-Viper, which to me is an amazing figure. Great review!
That thing is huge and very impressive. I always liked the HISS as well - it was unique but it seemed like a credible vehicle. Cobra sacrificed heavier armor in their tank for high speed and it looked cool. Does the HISS team come with cards? I'd be interested in seeing what the cards say about the figures.
Thank you for doing this video & for doing it so quickly. It's a great review & unboxing. There is one feature that's easily missed & that's the engine cover just behind the canopy. Give it a look. I enjoyed every minute of this video. 😀
When I opened it... I immediately went back to 83' (8yrs old) but on steroids. The HISS and the Dragonfly, were my first GIJoe vehicles. Christmas 83 I think! My very first Cobra figures were the Cobra Commander, Officer, and trooper. They came with a cardboard playset....Which I remember falling apart within a week or so after putting it together. I'm extremely excited for the Haslab Dragonfly w/ Wild Bill.
Just like Christmas Morning ;) I really like the light and the way it shows the logo when you shine it on a surface. I think I like the technician figure the best out of the three. All around great video!
I wish I had been able to contribute to this tank, the Skystriker, and the Dragonfly. They are all soooo cool. It's odd how packaging goes from less plastic for the boxes but change out the paper ties on the figure for PLASTIC ties. They did amazing with these figures.
Great review, fun to see your enthusiasm, couple of notes the seat belt tightens up around the waist if you just push it in either side, also the ribbed section between the canopy and turret guns is removable, it shows a small section of engine , And just a side-note, you can make cobra commander look a little better by just teasing the straps of his knife scabbard up a little bit on his leg to re-position it more like the card art
Nice Vid. Likes some of the Updates for it. Especially the canopy wings. That and the sound of a head popping due to jealousy...sounded like it came from Belgium😉😅...
Thanks for posting. I am impressed with the toy and pleased. Like you, I don't need the electronics but they were well done. I like the weapons rack in the back (they should add a bin for the extra fists). Two minor issue is I wish they put a foot peg in the turret. I have a viper in there and he bounces around a little. You also wouldn't see the footpeg in the turret. Second, you can't use bulky figures in the driver's seat because the seat belt doesn't expand enough. I currently have movie Baroness driving it because nothing bad has ever happened to the Baroness in a Hiss Tank. I do like the classic CC but keeping mine on card for now. Have a great week.
Beautiful toy. I will say that I do wish there was an optional add on pack that was available that could motorize it. And just imagine if there was a way to add an alternative interior cockpit and insert for the turret that would fit O ring figs. One thing that strikes me is that this isn't just a larger toy for larger figures, but if I am not mistaken, it is scaled more realistically for the figures. So the guys are smaller compared to this HISS Tank than the O ring figures are to the original one. If this is correct it sets a precedent that could be really promising - imagine if the upcoming Vamp is scaled such that Clutch's head isn't stuck aboove the rollbar.
Nice review and good video. I can tell by your voice how existed you are. The fisted hands look like they are from the soon the be released Big Boa. Again, I enjoyed the review. And have fun with your new Hiss tank😊
Very cool. Like it both styles. I wish they had that in the 80s in that size would've made a cool playset. A few classic sized figures would've fit in the cabin and 2 in the turret and 2 in the cockpit. I had the original when I was a kid. Also had the GiJoe tank. I preferred the Hiss Tank. The Cobra machines were always so much more scifi than the more conventional GiJoe stuff. Wanted the Rattler 😁 did like the Vamp I had it came with Clutch. Those two were my go to toys. Vamp against the Hiss. 😌
I said this on another video, but it bears repeating: my god that's a big bastard. I would've gotten this had I the room in my place. I had the original HISS tank as a kid, & always imagined guns on the underside in the front. It has actual working treads, unlike the original toy. Also like that it has room inside the thing for a soldier or 2. With all that written, where am I expected to PLACE the damn thing? I live in an apartment dammit. I have the Baroness with the Cobra COIL, & pre-ordered the Cobra Rattler. Hoping that thing isn't tool colossal, otherwise it'll stay in the box.
Hey Brian, great review! Mine is about to arrive soon as well. By the way are you aware that the engine cover is removable? The panel behind the canopy. It has great engine details.
I'm so excited to see this thing and it isn't even my toy! haha The Hiss Tank is missing the 3rd high break light. Nancy Reagan would not be pleased. It's funny that they gave her a shovel. I guess she is responsible for digging the tank out if it gets stuck. :D
Just got my first original HISS tank a 2004 dated one with no sticker marks. And this video has convinced me that I’m never getting into classified. Obnoxiously large figure, electronics to break, and just it’s too big.
Yep, his left side of the canopy when he put it on is not flush… He didn’t notice it, but it is officially true what everybody says there is a QC issue with that canopy, not laying flush like the other side does right in the front where it opens

Love that interior! I always wished the classic HISS has something like that
Same. This would've been awesome in this size but for the Classic Sized figures. Would've been like a whole army in one vehicle.
Rarely do things live up to hype or expectations. This does. Incredible job by the people who worked on this project.
Mines supposed to get here this week. I can't Wait
That's slick Commander
I wish I had one of those
What a sincere unboxing and review, you sound so happy the entire runtime! Thanks for all the videos Hoodie CoCo.

I can see and hear your sincere excitement for this set. I'm excited to get mine as well. :)
I love it!!! They did an awesome job!!
It's shocking how awesome this is!
Great video! I really like this H.I.S.S. tank! I wish I would have been able to come up with the money to get the H.I.S.S. Tank when this was offered.
Also, you really managed to communicate how much you love this in this video. You look like a kid opening up his presents on Christmas Day. Good work!
Got mine. Mr. S played with it for hours lol.
She's a beaut Clarke!
That's a sexy tank! Mt second favorite vehicle in the entire line.

Fantastic work, it was super fun to see your reaction to everything that came in the box.

Gotta love that Mickey
The H.I.S.S tank is totally Rad Commander! Thank you for the unboxing. Cant wait for a full review
Beautiful vehicle. Lots of options and nice figures.
When I opened it... I immediately went back to 83' (8yrs old) but on steroids.
The HISS and the Dragonfly, were my first GIJoe vehicles. Christmas 83 I think!
My very first Cobra figures were the Cobra Commander, Officer, and trooper. They came with a cardboard playset....Which I remember falling apart within a week or so after putting it together.
I'm extremely excited for the Haslab Dragonfly w/ Wild Bill.
😍 Cobraaa!!!
I don't know if I'll ever own one but this HISS Tank looks awesome. Thanks for sharing, Buddy.
Another great videos
Semper Fi COBRA! the box and portrait of HISS DRIVER..
Wish that we had this back in the 80s and that all those playsets back then hade more stuff like this.:D
Glad to see you so happy and excited about this man!!!! Nice video and love the ending. You certainly showed your passion for GI Joe!!! 👍💪🫵
Just like Christmas Morning ;) I really like the light and the way it shows the logo when you shine it on a surface. I think I like the technician figure the best out of the three. All around great video!
Wow the ramp drops and I imagine having alley vipers and night vipers dismounting and having a crimson guard in the gun hole
I wish I had been able to contribute to this tank, the Skystriker, and the Dragonfly. They are all soooo cool. It's odd how packaging goes from less plastic for the boxes but change out the paper ties on the figure for PLASTIC ties. They did amazing with these figures.
When I thought I was out, they brought me back in. Now I have to get back to GI Joe. So awesome have fun boys and girls.
Reminds me of getting a HESS truck for Christmas only this is a HESS truck on steroids. Awesome review, Hoodie!
Looks incredible Hoodie!!
Don't apologies, this is the most honest Review
Great review, fun to see your enthusiasm, couple of notes the seat belt tightens up around the waist if you just push it in either side, also the ribbed section between the canopy and turret guns is removable, it shows a small section of engine , And just a side-note, you can make cobra commander look a little better by just teasing the straps of his knife scabbard up a little bit on his leg to re-position it more like the card art

I think you missed the engine behind the cockpit.
I’ve only seen one reviewer notice it.

Congrats HCC788. I hope I can get one
That. Is. Gorgeous. Enjoy it sir.
I’d love to see a polar version of that beast someday! (I wonder if Timmer has his Super HISS tank yet?)
Just got mine today. Worth taking a day off 😂
With that bottom mounted battery hatch it would not be hard at all to retrofit an AC adapter so you can keep the lights on when it's on the shelf.
Great review!
HISS GUNNER!!

Awesome!!!! 😎 👍
She's a beauty.
Hey Brian, great review! Mine is about to arrive soon as well. By the way are you aware that the engine cover is removable? The panel behind the canopy. It has great engine details.
“Hang on Commander, I must put my seatbelt on first.” “SSSSSSeatbelt! Come on you fool, get moving!”
You just know GUNG-HO is gonna have a snit fit about SEMPER FIDELIS SERPENS! 😁
the gunner looks kinda thicc
The headlights kind of look like the DeLorean back to the Future or even Knight Rider
what about removeable engine cover behind drivers seat?
I'm so excited to see this thing and it isn't even my toy! haha The Hiss Tank is missing the 3rd high break light. Nancy Reagan would not be pleased. It's funny that they gave her a shovel. I guess she is responsible for digging the tank out if it gets stuck. :D
Hmm..I personally would have traded the light show for actual movement like Mobat or Mauler
Are you sure that there isn't a Time timer on the switch
HOOOOOODDEEDDDD!
I could have sworn you didn’t back the hiss tank
It has a DeLorean front end..😅
This and classified Hawk is almost making me want to start collecting this modern line.
representing the female arctype.....
it comes with a can-o-pee? worst yo joe cola flavor ever
Just got my first original HISS tank a 2004 dated one with no sticker marks. And this video has convinced me that I’m never getting into classified. Obnoxiously large figure, electronics to break, and just it’s too big.
Lol this guy had a go fund me page so all his viewers can pay for him to go to joe fest but he’s got money for a $300 his tank ….nice
Depressing / sleepy music bed = why am I watching this?
Background music.👎👎
He's not one of the poors
Yep, his left side of the canopy when he put it on is not flush… He didn’t notice it, but it is officially true what everybody says there is a QC issue with that canopy, not laying flush like the other side does right in the front where it opens
Both sides of mine are flush😊
@@gregarcher8177 good deal… You are one in 1 million then Very lucky
