As someone that operates heavy equipment, never underestimate needing a shovel for cleaning mud and dirt out of tracks for working on them. Also the hammer would be used to bang pins back into place in the tracks after taking them apart if you had to fix any of the bogies Ask anyone that has ever done mechanic work with big equipment, sometimes you just have to hit something
"all the bells and missiles" well played lol. I'm torn on opening that Cobra Commander, I want to but I don't at the same time, decisions decisions. I hope you're doing well man✌️
The reason why I have no interest in the lights is because forgetting about the battery's being in there it's not something I want to do, This whole Tank is just incredible the way it was designed solid TUFF STUFF!!! Cobraaaaaaaaaa!!!
Would like to see the Python Hiss Tank next??? Perhaps haslab will do it??? The HMS Missle launcher will he a fine trailer attachment for the hiss tank also comes with techno Viper... Again your review was awesome!!!
This review brought back a lot of nostalgia. Thank you 🙏🏼 Xmanny87!! AlsO…. HYDRA H.I.S.S Tank??? Well @hasbro you heard it here first. Build it you cowards. 😂
Gi Joe is a prove that Hasbro can do best when there is no licensing issues . I'm pretty sure (not defending Hasbro ) a lot of time marvel legends get restricted due to high licensing price of Disney over marvel properties . Let's be real no matter how much obscure the character is Disney will definitely take high share for character rights
@@Xmanny87 exactly not defending at any cost. The main game of Hasbro has always been reuse. But almost 90% of a MCU wave is always brand new sculpt which almost never gets reused most of the time . We would think they would give comic figures new sculpts for their own benefit, as they can always use comic buck later. At current time it seems like Disney is using entire marvel legends as advertisement for their MCU movies. They don't care about how the figure sales if it's for the purpose of advertising. Even if the figures just sit in the pegs of a store and nobody buys them , they will still see them acting as a advertisement for the particular movie . And since MCU waves never do good in sales , the looses are paid using subpar comic waves . That's just what I think though, for me at least marvel legends now mostly feels like a advertising tool for Disney and MCU. But despite that new comic waves for 2024 are looking strong , hopefully they can keep a good momentum next year.
Kept Cobra Commander in the box, didnt even take it out. Waiting on the proper Cobra logo release. Good review. Sick piece. Glad i backed it. Careful with bottom seat restraint, as it's epoxied in at bottom. Dont pull up on it much.
3:03 I voted purple too; and at the time thought that they should release a multipack of the colors that lost, that would be available for anyone to purchase and not just H.I.S.S. Tank backers. It seems like an easy way for them to make a profit (I mean, identical mold, just different paint achemes), plus such a multipack would allow folks to have more troop builders.
@@Xmanny87I made the earlier comment before finishing the vid, but I backed 2 H.I.S.S. tanks and cracked open one earlier this week. Your display after 16:49, with the gunner, driver and tactician posted at various positions on the H.I.S.S. has me thinking about opening the other sooner than later. Got a few days off of work next week so, 🤔
The purple is too close to the Technoviper. I owned one as a kid. And it would not sit right with me to have a hiss crew member be purple. This Black-red version has my vote as well and glad it got to be.
“All the bells and missiles” Clever! Good review. I agree. A retail HISS is a challenge the Classified team must meet. I’m surprised X-Manny couldn’t find effects to work with the tank. You are the effects wizard. I’m thinking the rocket effects with the Fire Team are going to be tweaked to work with the HISS. My guess on Haslab is either Rattler with Wild Weasel or pimped out Thunder Machine with Cold Slither Noks as stretch goals.
@@Xmanny87 - I saw that. I thought you would have found effects for the cannons and missiles. I haven’t seen a reviewer yet find effect pieces that fit. You are pretty good about finding pieces from another to work. You have a keen eye.
Yeah. That was a challenge. I got nothing lol. Nothing that would appropriately fit. But if I find something than I’ll post it as maybe like a short video.
PS I didn't back this project when it was available I had to buy my tanks second hand and I paid a small pirate's treasure for them!!! Well over 500 dollars each and I'd do again for a 3rd one!!!
Perfect video for a friday night xmanny! I havent backed a joe haslab yet since i dont have that much spending money its mainly like 5 figures per month also i wonder if we will get a regular classic CC with the classic logo instead of the mickey logo
You’re welcome. Why thank me though? Has no one opened them up to review theirs? Haven’t seen any reviews. I like to stay away from other reviews before my own.
Hammers and Shovels are carried by tank crews to remove dried mud and rocks which can become lodged into the wheel units of the tracks and prevent them from turning over. Good luck unwedging that shit with your bare hands. 😜
Someone already explained to me why and that does make sense but why the hell it comes with the gunner? There occupation should just be shooting guns. Lol. Maybe that should’ve come with the tactician? 🤷🏻♂️
Nah this isn't the toy of the year. Toy of the year should never be something this exclusive. I love my Hisstank and until I get my Dragonfly this will be my centerpiece. It simply is way too expensive.
@@TheToyOdyssey Honestly I love the Hisstank it's my favorite vehicle/toy in my collection. But I believe the VAMP will be a much better toy since it will be mass released. I hope kids get to buy the GI Joe figures and vehicles. And have the joy we had as kids. And that is why I cannot see the HISS as toy of the year haha. Not that it isn't the most awesome exclusive piece I got. Hope you understood what I meant.
I know that. I was saying it would be nice for them to release a stripped down version without all the lights, bells and whistles, make it lighter and not as heavy so that it can be at consumer friendly price to give people a chance to own a hiss tank. I’m not saying rerelease this same exact one. I know that won’t happen.
I'm interested in this only in passing. Even if hascrap did a good job. The price is ridiculous, Given there's superior versions out there like toy Gigante. Who's crafted a masterpiece, suckers😂
To the figure collector community: If you guys wanted vehicles, we NEVER should've scaled up to 1:12 ! GI Joe and Star Wars 1:18 scale vehicles were abundant and cheap to make. 1:12 scale vehicles are IMPOSSIBLY expensive to army build and space prohibitive to display. You guys must LOVE crowd-funded, wallet busting projects. I want to retire someday and NOT DIE BROKE from my toy collecting.

Aaaaahhhh. Gotcha. Now it makes sense. Thanks for the info.
I give it 11 plus myself and beyond, your review was right on I watched it twice!!!
Clear, succinct presentation. Great job!
Thank you! This was a pain to do. Especially since I lost footage on the first attempt. I’m happy with the end result.
That Retro Cobra Commander is SICK! HECK YEAH BROTHER!
I love it and I’m glad you love it too
"all the bells and missiles" well played lol. I'm torn on opening that Cobra Commander, I want to but I don't at the same time, decisions decisions. I hope you're doing well man✌️
lol thanks man. I’m doing well. Totally up to you if you want to open it. Just go by whatever your gut is telling you. I couldn’t wait to open it.
If I were you I'd wait. Chances are high he will get a regular release without the Mickey ears and you'll be hating yourself for opening it.

You have a cool display there!!!
Good review!!!
That tank is insane and soo cool details.
Hell yeah!
This review brought back a lot of nostalgia. Thank you 🙏🏼 Xmanny87!! AlsO…. HYDRA H.I.S.S Tank??? Well @hasbro you heard it here first. Build it you cowards. 😂
Thank you bro. A Hydra Hiss tank would be a crazy custom to make out of this. Lol.
Once again, what an amazing review video 👍👍👏👏🙌🙌 keep it up, bruhhhh
Thanks a ton!
Thanks a ton!
You're welcome 😁😁😁

A possibility and some other factors behind the scenes. But keep in mind the consumer pays for the licensing. They don’t. Not buying their excuses.

Noted and thank you
Loveee the red light in the tank soo sick
Right? It pops.
Yeahhh!! Even if you took a photo shot in the dark ooooo that will look bad ass. 😁🙌
Nice review sir :) I am personally waiting to open my HISS tank with my 🔥 team wearing my HISS shirt 😀
Awesome! I was supposed to get that fire team pack in the mail today but it got delayed. So bummed.
3:03 I voted purple too; and at the time thought that they should release a multipack of the colors that lost, that would be available for anyone to purchase and not just H.I.S.S. Tank backers.
It seems like an easy way for them to make a profit (I mean, identical mold, just different paint achemes), plus such a multipack would allow folks to have more troop builders.
Yeah, I don’t see any harm in that. Because I would like a chance to get that other black and red figure to go with my tank.
@@Xmanny87I made the earlier comment before finishing the vid, but I backed 2 H.I.S.S. tanks and cracked open one earlier this week.

11/10 and worth every single point
Absolutely! That and more.
Digging those interior lights, but not enough to cause any FOMO. Whew!!
I thought I wouldn’t be into the lights but I really like them.

You didn’t see when I put the muzzle FX from the viper 3-pack on the gattling guns?

what a classic vehicle

Like I said in my video, I’m confident they will. I hope he has the cape too.
Thank you XManny for opening Cobra Commander por this review
You’re welcome. Why thank me though? Has no one opened them up to review theirs? Haven’t seen any reviews. I like to stay away from other reviews before my own.
I purchased 2 of these BAD BOYS!!!
You can’t 😂
👍👍👍
Regret not backing it now. Waiting on the Dragonfly.
That Dragonfly is going to be insane!
I backed 2 Hiss tanks and put Mezco Destro as the driver.
Nice!
wow
🙌🏽❤️🙌🏽
Just gotta get a VAMP next!
I think I PO’d 3. Can’t wait.
Day 1 of asking Manny for his hissss tank 🤓 lol jk great review bro looks so cool 😎
😂😂😂
Damb. I missed out on this one. Hope to get one eventually at a decent price but not holding my breath
Hopefully you get the deal you’re looking for.

How many did you back xmanny?
3. Only opening two and keeping one in the box.
Toy of the year.
😎👊🏽
For adults, maybe.
Nah this isn't the toy of the year. Toy of the year should never be something this exclusive. I love my Hisstank and until I get my Dragonfly this will be my centerpiece. It simply is way too expensive.

Where can i buy this?? 🤩
It’s no longer available for sale. You’ll have to check the aftermarket places like eBay or Mercari.
They will never re-release this at mass retail. Thats not what Haslab is about. And its gull-wing doors :)

I want one but not for $350 hell no $200 at best
Will be a fine trailer attachment stupid phone
I have no interest in the light features!!!

Thanks! Hopefully it wasn’t too long. I wanted to keep it under 20 minutes.
@Xmanny87 best review I've seen on the H.S.S tank, and I've seen a bunch. You do a great job. 👍
That means a ton! I try not to focus on competing with others and just do it how I want to do it.
