Or is the HISS tank actually just really small, for what it should be?

Nah.


That is something people always forget about the HISS.



It is a HIgh Speed Sentry. It isn't supposed to be a large tank, but rather a smaller, lighter armed, sentry/response vehicle. It shouldn't be as large as a main battle tank. If anything Hasbro slightly increased the size of it for the Haslab just to try and squeeze in a figure in the back.


I have no interest in the Valaverse vehicle for a number of reasons, but the price combined with the lack of interest in the design are the main factors.

The only thing I like about it is the working winch.


I?m not feeling the design and think my money is better off going toward the vamp.

Vanguard would look good in my driveway, but not my toy-shelf. Plus the tsunami of Classified releases has washed away my interest in Valaverse.

[nighthawk]

Thanks guys. Your arguments have swayed me away from the Vanguard. My money is better put towards the Vamp.

I do kind of like the grey Vanguard but my preference is the green that was shown during the colour vote. Maybe a metallic silver to look like the one in the Terminal List since it was right after that movie released that he started talking about offering this thing. But $300 plus taxes is too much for me for something that I have no attachment to (would something this big still qualify for free shipping from a place like Toy Snowman?)
I get that they’ve got to make a profit and cover shipping costs but $185 USD is roughly $250 CAD, so another $50 before taxes takes it out of my budget.

I’ve got enough money tied up in the next wave of Classified figures anyway. Really looking forward to Quick Kick

[nighthawk]

Yeah, that was one thing I struggled with. I wanted a green one.

I do too but... he was the most annoying character in the roster during the sunbow run

Hiss looks to me to be scaled very close to the size of the 80s toy. That is all I'd be looking for.

Valaverse is likely going for a more realistic scale, but to me the Vanguard just isn't very nice.

I'll just stick with my custom hummer that was under $20 total cost.

What $20 hummer would that be?
