G.I. Joe Classified 6" Scale Haslab Cobra H.I.S.S. Tank Recap - What We Know

As Hasbro's G.I. Joe Classified Haslab 6" Scale Cobra H.I.S.S. Tank campaign heads into it's tenth day since it launched back on June 29 at 11am ET, we thought we would recap everything we know about it and where things stand right now.

As I type this the campaign has 15,342 Backers. It needs at least 658 more backers for the fourth stretch goal to be unlocked which is for a 6-Inch Scale Retro Cardback Cobra Commander Action Figure inspired by the rare misprinted (Mickey Mouse) variant of the original 1982 “Real American Hero” figure release.

Already included with the H.I.S.S. Tank which is said to be 19" long and 10" are the following items.

- 6" H.I.S.S. Tank Driver

- Early Bird 6" Cobra H.I.S.S. Tactician Action Figure inspired by Ron Rudat’s designs

- Stretch Goal #1 - Two Side-Mounted Missile Racks

- Stretch Goal #2 - Retro Style Canopy And Tread Covers

- Stretch Goal #3 - Weapons Accessory Pack And H.I.S.S. Gunner Figure


If you want to back the campaign it will cost $299.99. The H.I.S.S. Tank itself will have the following features:

- Functioning wheels with moving treads: Rotating sprockets and wheels spin as the treads roll forward or backward.

- Elaborately-detailed command cockpit interior: The Cobra H.I.S.S. Driver Action Figure sits buckled with a 5-point harness adorned with Cobra logo before an illuminated control panel. You can pose the figure operating the articulated joystick and throttle controls while targeting Joe combatants.

- “Gull-wing” Canopy: The vehicle comes with features “gull wing” functioning doors with independent right and left sides that lift from center hinges allowing the Driver to enter from either side of the H.I.S.S.

- Rear Cargo Bay: The rear personnel platform provides standing room for additional troops who can be posed holding the functional handrails. Below that is a retractable tow hitch on the rear of the vehicle. The center of the personnel platform flips up allowing the rear cargo door to drop. That reveals an illuminated troop transport cargo space. Inside is a jump seat and a weapon accessory storage rack.

- Articulated turret with poseable cannon accessories: The 360-degree rotating turret includes control details and fits an additional G.I. Joe Classified Series Action Figure (sold separately). The Double “Diablo” Cannon accessories can swivel and elevate independently from one another.

- Removable engine cover detail: Behind the cockpit sits the M.A.R.S.-developed HISS-CS22 propulsion unit detail beneath a removable cover. It connects to side exhaust port details.

- Removable armor plating skirt: The Cobra H.I.S.S. comes with a removable armor plating skirt detail with reactive armor to provide extra protection for the road wheels


Hasbro has said there will only be 4 Stretch Goals with this campaign, however that hasn't stopped some fans from speculating that once the campaign surpasses 16k backers to unlock Stretch Goal #4, Hasbro will then add in additional Stretch Goals. I personally don't think that is very likely. Hasbro did mention something about adding holes on the gun turrets on the tanks for Blast Effects to be attached, so I could maybe see Hasbro throwing some of those in as a "Thank You" to everyone who backed the campaign and allowed it to reach all the stretch goals so quickly, but I guess only time will tell on any of that.

Have you backed this campaign or do you plan to before it ends at 11:59 PM EDT on August 15th 2022? If so how many do you plan on getting? Let us know in the COMMENTS SECTION.

I seem to recall Lenny saying that this Haslab exclusive Mickey Mouse CoCo would have a chrome faceplate. Or maybe I'm misremembering it and he said they were simply looking into doing it-which would mean that it wasn't feasible for some reason)

Guess I'm in the minority in not wanting a chrome face plate.

Looks great, only thing that I could imagine making it better would be a chrome faceplate but I think/hope they will do that for the inevitable regular-symbol release.
