G.I. Joe Cobra H.I.S.S. Tank with H.I.S.S. Commander

G.I. Joe Cobra H.I.S.S. Tank with H.I.S.S. Commander Review

I'm a little surprised that nobody else has weighed in on this repro of the classic line of 80's G.I. Joes.

I think this (along with the infamous "Trouble Bubble", Rattler Jet and a couple others) vehicle was one of the most predominantly featured Cobra attack weapons in the cartoon. I watched the cartoon a lot, and you'ld always see a charging battalion of these tanks coming to get the Joes only to have them get blown up and miraculously every driver and gunner would jump out just before the explosion.

I always liked this toy but never had one (cheap parents?) but I STILL HAVE the original driver that came with it. The red guy. I suppose that would be my only complaint about this, but that's trivial at best.

I don't collect toys, per say, but I appreciate this one. The box is cool as it has a large mylar window and the cardboard the tank is twisty tied to has a printed background of a non-descript battle scene. The packaging opens really easily to keep from damaging it and the cardboard base that holds the H.I.S.S. easily slides out. I'm keeping the box.

The tank itself is as close to the original as I can remember. The little rivets along the armor plating, the swivel gun turret, driver compartment, etc. Somebody else would have to point out the differences between the original and this one because I can't really notice any. Right down to the sticker sheet that I remember fondly stressing out over as a kid so I'd get the logos "just right" and not cockeyed like some of my more sloppy friend's toys.

I am very content with this toy and it sits proudly on my desk at work. Okay, I guess that makes me a nerd. A nerd with a Cobra H.I.S.S. tank, that is!
