So let’s look at some of the stuff about this toy that really pisses me off.įirst off, what is the deal with the cockpit? It extends forward and then push a button and it flips up into the air on a set of extended stilts. But beyond that most everything else about this vehicle is pure balls. There’s also a few cool armaments, like a rocket launcher hanging off the side under the canopy and two firing missiles on each side of the front grill. Or maybe not. I’ll also say that having an enclosed, armored cockpit as opposed to having the driver sitting in plain view under a glass canopy is probably a much better idea from a tactical standpoint. And hey, gotta love those giant fangs on the front. The snakeskin texturing and paint apps are really well executed. The triangular treads are very much in keeping with the classic HISS design. Its basically just like nose art taken to the extreme.īesides, the overall sculpt on these toys is pretty nice. Cobra had cargo planes with snake heads, snake robots, and, Jesus, if Cobra can have a friggin zombie emperor that wears a snake suit, then putting a little snake motif on their tanks isn’t going to make me too upset. That stuff doesn’t bother me because its very much in line with the classic cartoon and comics.
