![]() So, in my opinion, this version of the HISS hits on all of the right notes. New elements, some different storylines.a new idea for a character or an updated look for a classic character. There are all sorts of different shapes and sizes of collectors, and many folks who like different things.įrom my own perspective, I love seeing new and exciting product. The reason for my cop-out caveat is simple.I know there are folks out there who religiously cling to the vintage style, and that is totally cool. Joe designer Richard Woodhouse showed a mock up prototype of the "HISS of the future". Time passed.the 25th Anniversary line came, and we once again received a nice helping of HISS I repaints, but still no real viable upgrades. It was saddled with somewhat small, unimposing missile launchers rather than the oversized cannons that fans were familiar with. ![]() Yet, still, even as successful as the DTC HISS was, there were still complaints (very valid ones, I might add) that the armament was weak. Granted, frequent repaints in the exclusives line helped offset this a bit, but it wasn't until 2005 when we got the Direct to Consumer HISS Tank that collectors felt like Cobra had a viable upgrade to their battle force. The HISS IV was pretty much an abomination and an insult to the legacy of the Cobra HISS Tank.and unfortunately that left a stale taste in collectors' mouths for a little while. After the HISS II, we got a repainted version in slate blue for the Real American Hero Collection.and then came Joe vs. I'm of the belief that the HISS II is still far and away a cooler vehicle than the original HISS, and if I had my choice, my Cobra army would be stocked full of those tanks, not their smaller, less potent older brothers. Several times since then, Hasbro has attempted to redefine the HISS Tank, and they've had some mixed success. The infamous HIgh Speed Sentry was Cobra's first really unique, individualized vehicle that defined the organization of the time. Joe vehicles, it's tough to get much more iconic than the original Cobra HISS.
