The new vamp is really nice, opening hood, removable shovel, and other details. It is a upgrade from the past, yet the Hiss feels the same.
Woah! Slow down.How do you put the fins on Torpedo's backpack?

There should be a pic on the review.
Thank you
Not quite sure how they stay on, but I'm going to check that out later.
As for the vehicles, I have to agree with arrow that they were quite a supprize for quality. I had intended to get the packs just for the new figures, but it turns out that the Vehicles are actually quickly becoming favorites for the 25th display.
Now if Hasbro could get the Duke arms and quantity released problems fixed.......

I have to say; I've sold most of my 25th Joes, but...in my recent second thoughts, I still kinda want the VAMP. I used to love that thing, and I never had one. My little brother did, but I didn't. Now if they make a VAMP Mark II, which I'm sure they will considering Hasbro's penchant for repaints, I WILL own one, collector status or not. (lol) I wanted one of those worse than I did the original VAMP...
Nope, I'm not a fan of the HISS, honestly.
Think of it as me doing other fans a favour: me not buying them means they get that much better a shot at getting one in my stead.
Nah, the HISS always struck me as a silly redundant design. All, that tank underneath, just to mount two comparatively dinky machine guns ( I'm assuming they are at least .50 cals or slightly bigger up top) in the turret. Kinda flimsy for COBRA signature tank.
The HISS II was a bit smarter looking, but it could have been better.
If Hasbro had given us a "updated HISS", with what looked like detail .50's ( for example) with a ported barrel and drilled vent ports on the sleeve, and given us detailed molded instruments inside the cockpit......I'd have jumped into bed with the thing in a heartbeat. That's been my one big beef with the 25th Ann. line today.......the figures got new detailed updated looks, but the vehicles stayed with the mostly simplistic old-style molded details. There was a missed opportunity there.
The vehicles could have been come more model-kit like and been world's cooler because of it, as the figures have many TINY parts about them, so could the vehicles has gone with some more delicate parts as well. Its a collector-aimed line after all--but somewhere along the way, the philosophy reverted to making them "just toys" again.

u get a hiss tank yet? i like what they did to the cockpit (do you call it that even though its a tank? wth it looks like a cockpit)

The pics I have seen illustrate that it lacks molded details in the cockpit area. Given the space that is in that thing, I think it s crime it lacks it.
As for the others........I am a LAZY Joe collector.........LOL.........not gotten around to looking, finding or even considering those other vehicles.....
Yea, I'm THAT lazy!
looking at that pic of torpedoes face on there he still looks like a kid with down syndrome

I love all the new vehicles...much more than the figures actually. All the ones I have any way. i passed on the armadillo pack and never found the sharc or awe at targat. i did get a couple blue hisses from a toy show though, and for only $15 loose with all the stuff they came with when i got 3 of the trouble bubbles i was like "what the heck am i gonna do with more than one RAM. But i like them just as much if not more than the trouble bubbles. i like the little updates. and how you can put the old figures in the bubbles since they didn't put a new smaller back peg for the new figures.
