[@OldManTheseDays]

Putting together a new GI Joe toy felt like a model kit in a way. Those were the days.

[@digipure]

Great unboxing, I think the vehicles are the best part of this line! Hasbro will probably never do it, but I'll love to see more medium/big size vehicles in this line, as the Dragonfly, the Conquest or the Whale (just dreaming)

[@SylentEcho]

Real good to see you doing G.I. Joe vids again!

[@fatcat8033]

Yo Joe! from Glasgow, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@joeyoung7732]

Two blues and a black hiss look awesome 788 813 and 831

[@BomberMonkAssassin32]

I would love to see them reissue the cobra mamba helicopter

[@karlthomas7363]

the mamba and the cobra condor were nice.

[@Die-CastMetal]

I like that they improved the molds for stronger construction instead of making the same molds.

[@wraith6776]

I always liked putting vehicles together. Miss doing that.

[@510newguy]

It's good to see you back and doing videos. KZbin wasn't the same without you.

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Great look at a newer product. What gi.joe fan out there doesn't like the HISS tank?? not many... they are beauty

[@martinmoreno2395]

Welcome back! The Joe community hasn't been the same without you. Great review and looking forward to all your future content.

[@joeyoung7732]

Scissors man, even happened in the 80's and 90's tank is fine comrade

[@MCDJACDC]

Been way too long, so glad to hear you say that ending catch phrase!

[@toddwells2]

Now you are just spoiling us with all the content. Keep it up

[@jasonmaiden5026]

I really like this blue version. The original stickers would show up better & I wish it had the standard driver in red.

[@redvitaminblue]

813 = Tampa, FL. Home of your beloved ex-Pat, Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. 8 + 1 + 3 = 12. #12 = Tom Brady's jersey number. Cobra HISS III = 12 characters. Cobra HISS III released in 2021, same year Tom Brady won an NFL championship for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, in Tampa, Florida -- the first time an NFL team has ever played and won the Super Bowl in their home city. [Cue the "X-Files" theme]

[@G7M9W]

I still need to pick one of these up. As if I don't have enough HISS tanks... Hahaha! Assembling vintage(-style) vehicles is so much fun, even simple ones like this.

[@thetvbaby83]

They took the fun outta the AWE tho.

[@yfz350twin]

I just used your USS Flagg video for help on assembling my Flagg.

[@megamadd9220]

Love your channel HCC788 and have a happy holiday season

[@thephotoviper]

I like the dark tint on the cockpit.

[@yojoe2059]

Another great video! You always make these fun!👍

[@batandjoefan8108]

Hasbro should hire you as a Joe toy consultant

[@TheUnboxer073]

The mad joe did. He finally bought Gi Joe Retro!

[@marcbrunson6986]

I have been getting a few of the retro toys. I like the ones I have. Obvious reasons ha ha. I have what would be considered the original HISS 3 and Rip It also. it's a good repro.

[@jamesstrevels5447]

Welcome back.You have been missed.

[@gregsamarael1753]

great to see you uploading videos again🤘

[@brendanhaley3668]

Good review video, glad the honesty regarding your opinion on the stickers. I appriciate honest reviews and you seemed quite content during the construction phase. Glad ur back!

[@jerrycruse638]

I have one retro hiss 3 tank so far the hiss tank was the first vehicle that I had bought in the 80's so I have an affection for it I also have some of the older ones without the turrets and had to modify into laser hiss tanks

[@mechaplatypus82]

Glad you are back 🙌

[@tycondrius23]

great video . one thing of note for the driver . the red hiss driver from the black Retro Hiss has a different construction the T bar on the red driver is the classic metal bar where the one on Rip-it is plastic and is prone to being brittle. the parts used for those drivers are new compared to the older 25th Drivers as they had a unsightly hip holster for a included pistol which really got in the way for seating them in the cockpit of the Hiss.

[@TheCustomComicShop]

Hoodie!! Really nice seeing you again showing love to the Joes! Definitely one of the highlights to KZbin! Yo Joe!!!

[@skabcat242]

I'm the same. I like my Hiss Tanks black.

[@greatgibby]

Yet another great video sir! Always a pleasure seeing you talk about new or old Gi. Joe stuff.

[@samprevratil9734]

Tampa, FL

[@Thefuabides]

Picked a couple up on clearance today for 5 bucks a piece.

[@mattruben958]

813 is around Tampa, Florida apparently. Anyhoots, nice assembly video!

[@Dave-rf1zj]

I like the retro vehicles....the figures....not so much. Since I have a modern o-ring Rip It figure...I placed him in the turret spot and took a vintage o-ring HISS Driver and put him in the driver spot.....BAMM!!!!!

[@eprohoda]

[@TheSkullReviews]

Good stuff, that was a fun watch, keep them coming HCC788

[@cobracrimsonguard8180]

Welcome back sir missed you

[@Hurricane810kr]

Awesome! Great to see you back! I was able to pick up this at retail, never saw the original HISS though.

[@Rezikai]

Nice unboxing Hoodie, I hate seeing that headlight sticker oversized. When i got mine a month or so ago the headlights were slightly too big to, so i took an exacto-knife to narrow it and fit. I'm sure if someone was to remove the treads just push that tab on the back and pull the treads down from the chassis (carefully of course) and it should come off as long as you swing the lip from the front down and out as you do. This technique IIRC also works on most of the sturdier vintages vintage Hiss's... some of course have their plastic too far degraded to accomplish that... BUT! the reason i bring this up is I'm thinking of swapping the HISS-III's muddied treads onto a normal Black 2019(2020?) Retro Hiss-I or... if i get bold enough.. one of my vintage beater hisses and give it some character. Something you may want to try out for some easy customizing/swapping.

[@arni7810]

Great!! I just wish it wasn't stickers instead would rather have them already ingraved onto vehicle

[@michaelbenjmitchell1]

@HoodedCobraCommander788 I wonder if putting the stickers on in the areas that would be hard to reach areas would be easier to do before you install the tank treads to the HISS hull?

[@mikewilson858]

I have a few of the retro hiss in black. I might get s couple of these if they hit discount. I’ve been thinking of doing some repaints of hiss tanks in desert and forest camo

[@thetvbaby83]

My brother did that with a couple of 12" versions of r2 d2 lol

[@lamondjack4349]

This was awesome content! Thanks for sharing it.

[@danilanglois6785]

The front sticker on the original 2000 release of the H.I.S.S. III was also too big to fit in the nose of the tank.

[@anthonybernero9720]

Considering that you can't see the driver, toss the figure stand in the cockpit, and use the figure for the gunner.

[@GabrielCamilo84]

Meanwhile, in Brazil, we're having amazing 1/6 GI Joe from Estrela (called Falcon here). Shame on you, Hasbro!

[@cullenshound1979]

Tampa, Florida

[@biokido575]

The area code is tampa florida. That makes sense.

[@joeblaster8770]

Why does the HISS mark 3 look just like the HISS mark 1?

[@RedRoomDiecast]

It’s a great HISS but the front sticker I had to trim to fit. My only beef really is the figure. My example is horrible. Bent legs and a missing thumb on the right hand. If this is the modern figure style, Hasbro can keep it. Good review. 👍👍👍👍

[@Dave-rf1zj]

I have a modern o-ring Rip It...i put him in the turret spot w/ a vintage HISS Driver in the driver spot.

[@deadmangaming2996]

I have 2 too! lolz :o) love your videos !

[@Canoby]

I think it's hilarious how Walmarts are practically flooded with these, but the standard black ones were so relatively rare

[@toddtaylor6506]

Do different tanks come with different numbers? This one has 813 but I see and one with 827 when I google images of it. Maybe someone's custom?

[@Die-CastMetal]

Wondering when we’ll see a new Night Raven or Rattler.

[@michaelterrell9645]

Night Raven all the way! If we see anything like that...otherwise I'll take another Cobra Rattler.

[@victorf1736]

Great review, Bryan - and I also agree that the driver should be in red and the blue works on the tank. BTW, I see you're a fan of classic X-Factor, too.

[@impossiblepie]

How's the plastic? A little dry brushing on this would go a long way. It's like putting black stickers on the Rattler white would be better.

[@TerryTurner]

😎👍

[@thetvbaby83]

I'm glad ur back bro. Idk if you been asked, are you backing the Sky Stryker? I wish I could but kids and x Mas lol

[@cptoyscollection]

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 813 is Tampa, Florida. I'm wondering, what is the relationship between the HISS tank and Tampa?...🤔🤔🤔😁

[@edwardjacobs4042]

It was hard to see a few of the original stickers on the vintage hiss tank. It looks good even though it’s modern and blue.

[@tommyaltmeyer6423]

Rip-it My FAVORITE ENERGY DRINK

[@mrdonigan]

I've started using tweezers for the stickers. My fingers are just too big to do it easily.

[@nyquist75]

Classic low-effort Hasbro.

[@tommyaltmeyer6423]

Cobra ferret😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

[@davidsharp5966]

In Marvel G.I. Joe #19 it was said the Hiss Tanks were blue.

[@Slashman3]

813 is FL, Tampa I think

[@manofaction1807]

Is "Rip-It" a specialist, or is that what they are calling the HISS Drivers, these days? I thought that those 25th An. figures were squished all up in the Joe vehicles, is he different?

[@xavierprotocols]

Is the retro Joe Lineup 1:18 scale?

[@BayushiGemma]

What about the 6 inch Classified Line or you don't care for it?

[@the_flyattractor8656]

Yeah. Not a big Fan of the Blue Hiss, but I do like the Blue Cobra Driver colors. Not sure on his name of "Rip It" though...

[@yojoe2059]

813 = tampa, Fl., the driver's last name maybe Brady.. lol🤣

[@twocross]

I haven’t really unboxed any of the new stuff. Glad you’re doing it for me!

[@michaelterrell9645]

Great review! Thinking about getting one of these. Can you review the retro cobra Fang.

[@zerocooler7]

I have one, and can recommend getting it. The blades are thicker, and so should be more resistant to sagging over time.

[@michaelterrell9645]

@@zerocooler7 How does it compare to the 25th version? Just curious 🤔

[@forumicebreaker]

This is nice to see. Thank you. I have been thinking about these and this is helpful. The front sticker looks like it fills the whole space on the original 2000 H.I.S.S. III very tightly from photos, too. I wonder if that is the exact same sticker sheet 21 years later unchanged now? I wonder if there are master sheets for stickers that are kept around like a figure or vehicle mold would be. And if that's the same paint mask for the weathered tracks. Any comparisons with the 2000 H.I.S.S. III out there?

[@DareDevilDave75]

813 is I Florida area code. 3 counties use it

[@gruntspy44]

Lol dude should see my cobra tat

[@chrisbeyond1879]

Technically to create a new die cut for the stickers, it would cost money, but since the first try was poor anyway they should have made a new one.

[@justinthomas7222]

Driver: Code Name Ribbit?

[@19delta32]

Tampa Florida. 813

[@gruntspy44]

Oh come on... I've your last intro

[@solaceboy]

I got this and of all Cobra Hiss tanks, I really didn't like the color on this one.

[@JoeMotionVideos82]

If the sticker doesn't fit, it ain't legit.

[@TheGeekViper]

HCC-788 Opening your toys so you don't have to 👍😂

[@GabrielCamilo84]

Nice vídeo, but I'm glad I skipped that :)

[@tommyaltmeyer6423]

C'mon hurry up
