Title: So what do you think of the Grey Hiss??
Post by: canprime on January 21, 2012, 03:41:39 PM

In the latest issues of IDW's JOE-verse, Cobra has deployed a massive force and while green camoflage Mambas were truly badass, the Slate Grey HISS tanks with Red Canopies really stuck out. 

We have seen quite the number of repaints/colour schemes for the HISS tank over the years, but I really think this new colour scheme is something that should be considered by Hasbro.

I wonder if the colour scheme is an homage to the 1989 HISS II?

Not really.  Here is a link to a review with a photo that shows the red canopy and grey turret.  Also you can see the other grey HISS that was never made into a toy.

the other grey hiss looks like the resolute version.
