I did, and apparently in Retaliation all the Joes are ninjas and Roadblock's the main guy.... WHY?!?! Leave it to Snake Eyes and 1 or 2 more. The Joes are commandos, not ninjas. :P
GREAT REVIEW! THE BODY OF THIS HISS TANK IS GOOD! THE LETDOWN IS THE SOLID PLASTIC MOLDED TREADS! -THESE TREADS TO ME ARE INEXCUSABLE ESPECIALLY AFTER HASBRO CAME OUT WITH MOVING TREADS ON THE PURSUIT OF COBRA & 30TH ANNIVERSARY HISS TANKS IN PREVIOUS YEARS
Hey dan if u want red windows just get a red sharpie and color in the parts of the shield that u want red like the box art. Ive used this method on my transformers and it works great. Best of luck to u nice review as always
I have one of these Dan its a nice tank but you did hit on the key points of its short fall. one thing you should know is that Cobra Commander is based on a unlreased Gi joe body (which had full articulation ! ) but hasbro decided to downgrade it to a brick :(
Great review! I purchased it based on this and several other reviews. One thing I'd like to note is that the main turret does lock into place. At least mine does.
I AGREE! SINCE WHEN IS ROADBLOCK A MEMBER OF THE ARASHIKAGE CLAN? THE PRODUCER/ WRITERS OF THE MOVIE SHOULD HAVE STAYED MORE WITH THE TRADITIONAL HISTORY OF SOME OF THESE GI JOE CHARACTERS! I'M STILL EXCITED TO SEE THIS NEW RETALIATION MOVIE!
This HISS tank is okay, thougth the original from 1983 is still number one in my book. I hope that the rest of the action figures for GI Joe Retalition have more articulation since Hasbro now has the ability to do that like we saw in the 25th anniversary/ROC/POC and 30th anniversary lines.
Hi..just to let u kno the cannon on top did lock in place after all...dont know if u or anyone else realized that...just push it in a little and it will click on instead of just sitting there loose...I realized that wen I got mine today...
Strike mode would have looked better if the middle turret also turned up on a large joint in the middle. Without knees I am surprised he fits in the cockpit that would have been horrible if the thing didn't even fit in there.
I do not think I will get this tank. The turret looks way too wobbly from where it does not actually lock down to the full, like a turret should! The cannon cannot pivot up and down, like a cannon should! The treads on the tank are solid plastic, and do not move, like tank treads should! Hasbro got really cheap on the making of this toy.
What gets me is that those cuts on producing the figure is not for us ! We get a cheaper made figure or vehicle at the price of a well made one ! I aint buying this !
Cheap vehicle and no articulation to decent figure mold equals NO SALE for me. I will not buy cheaply articulated figures and will continue to do so on all Hasbro products done like this. Hasbro will turn into Mattel if they continue making poorly articulated figures in the 3 3/4 size.
That Cobra Commander looks so fucking badass... it's a damn shame they skimped on it. What in the hell were they thinking!?

"Led by the ultimate ninja commando: Roadblock!" Yeah, how quickly was that written out of the movie?
Putting the stickers on was always my favorite part about these toys. Assembling them as well. Real sad they got rid of that part. Totally sucks, man!
Love the back of the box where it says "Roadblock - the ultimate ninja commando".
Looks great, since it’s a bit hard to get vintage vehicles these days I might be getting this.

The box art with roadblock arashikage tattoo was crazy😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Modeled after an actual
Cobra snake attack mode striking position.
I actually didn't mind the articulation on the Commander, because it reminded me of the old Kenner Star Wars stuff
My personal favorite hisstank was the black hisstank from POC.

The gun in the front of the body fits loosely so I have to put tape on the connection point to thicken it.
Did anyone else notice the arashikage symbol on roadblock?
VectorSigma bro soon as I saw that I laughed :P

if you havent found out yet the turret does lock into place
Strike mode would have looked better if the middle turret also turned up on a large joint in the middle.
Without knees I am surprised he fits in the cockpit that would have been horrible if the thing didn't even fit in there.
Kinda looks like the Blue Thunder helicopter from the 1983 movie Blue Thunder....just with the tank treads and no helicopter blades.
Im having trouble attaching the front weapon. can you give me a tip on how to fix that?
you have to push the canon rim down
Actually Dan the original Joe's we had back in 82-83 had more articulation than this figure, believe me.
oh my gosh hasbro why are you doing this to me
I wouldn't mind if Hasbro re-issued the 25th anniversary Hiss,and just slapped on some more missile launchers or something,
I am starting to develop a small collection of 6 and 7" action figures (MK 2012 and TF2 atm). Can anyone suggest any vehicles they could fit in?
Dear God! I never noticed the tattoo on "Road Block's" arm before. That is terrible. Just terrible.
whie8crow I was rolling laughing :P
Just loose the tank track and make a plane.
I do not think I will get this tank. The turret looks way too wobbly from where it does not actually lock down to the full, like a turret should! The cannon cannot pivot up and down, like a cannon should! The treads on the tank are solid plastic, and do not move, like tank treads should!

I actually have mine that locks all the way. I am missing my chin gun, though.
What gets me is that those cuts on producing the figure is not for us !

I aint buying this !
no comparison time!? imagine how bad this toy is...
Awesome review, garbage Cobra Commander
Cheap vehicle and no articulation to decent figure mold equals NO SALE for me. I will not buy cheaply articulated figures and will continue to do so on all Hasbro products done like this. Hasbro will turn into Mattel if they continue making poorly articulated figures in the 3 3/4 size.
So not worth the $30 it cost in the stores.
