Not really much to talk about here. The HISS pretty much defines Cobra. I can't see it being anything other than a runaway winner.

_________________

I went with the HISS (and as of the time I voted, so has everybody else). It really seems to have just become THE trademark vehicle for Cobra somehow, maybe because it looks so different from what one expects from a tank.

I do have a memory about those long styrofoam gliders, though. I remember seeing a three-foot-high stack of those long, relatively flat boxes outside of a K*B one time in 1983.

I suspect some of you probably saw the same thing. If we'd only known. eh?

I went against the grain and voted for the Viper Glider, it was my First joe purchase and got me hooked, which lead me here. So it has a special place in my heart. Even though it broke on its first flight.

This HISS isn't even the best version of the HISS. You people shame me. I can at least understand the people who mistakenly chose the FANG, but I'm the only one who has chosen the SNAKE armor. That is just sad.

You're right P-Luv you are sad! Hehe. The SNAKE was awful! It was clunky and limited mobility - it didn't make much sense to me. And in the cartoon they presented it just as clumsy as it seemed to be with the toy. Ah, well, to each their own.

I have a confession. I'm not a fan of the his. Its iconic, true. But it wasn't a fun toy. Now the FANG - it has a lot going on in a small space. It's pretty fun. Probably while there are two in my office right now while most of my Joes are in storage.

We all know truthfully how this is gonna end. The HISS I is gonna take it, even though it's among the worst vehicles in the line.

Gotta go with the FANG I. Like cabanajacka and Macrossmaster said, there's alot goin' on for the money.

I remember really enjoying the FANG more than the HISS. I played that sucker until the blades broke off, and then I kept on playing with it. HISS is great and iconic, but the FANG was where it was at for me.

I have to vote for the F.A.N.G. it was one of the vehicles I used the most in my battles between Joe and Cobra.It carried alot of firepower and you could put a couple of extra troops on the skids.It wasn't limited to one enviroment,you could use it from the arctic to the jungle.It was cheap enough to consider cannon fodder.You could land it anywhere due to it's small size.To me it was a very versatile piece of equipment,capable of handling many types of missions.

FANG. Perfect vehicle with enough firepower for Cobra's on a one man mission or for destructive swarm attacks.

And it's a draw between the H.I.S.S. and the F.A.N.G.!
