Hasbro announced a new GI Joe HasLab crowdfunding campaign for the Cobra HISS (HI-Speed Sentry) tank! This is in development for the six-inch Classified line! It looks like this thing is going to be great, and for $ 299 it sure better be! This thing is loaded with great features that collectors will love.
The HISS comes with its own driver and, if it fully funds in the first week with 8,000 supporters, an additional HISS technician figure is added. There are also four stretch goals, three of which fans assume will be extra digits. Hasbro gives 48 days to make them.
The HasLab project is active right now and is taking orders until August 16th and of course I will help fund it! Here are the details:
Never before has a feat like this occurred: our project is the first 6-inch GI Joe Classified Series Cobra HISS vehicle that everyone has been clamoring for. A mere $ 299.99 grants backers the basic offering of my tech marvel, the HISS, as well as a highly articulated Cobra HISS Driver Action Figure with premium decor, detail, and articulation for posability. The vehicle itself contains a jaw-dropping level of detail and features that allow for a myriad of pose and display options.
The HISS vehicle is equipped with battery powered interior and exterior LED lighting functions. With the push of a single button, you can turn on the HISS-vision lights, the head-up display of the interior cabin, the headlights, the fog lights, the rear lights of the Cobra train and, most impressively, the Cobra Insignia Beacon. This unique invention from MARS Industries projects the Cobra logo onto the ground in front of the vehicle.

Here is a full list of features:
Working wheels with movable steps: The sprockets and spinning wheels turn while the steps roll forward or backward.
Accurately detailed cockpit interior: The Cobra HISS Driver Action Figure comes strapped with a 5-point harness decorated with the Cobra logo in front of an illuminated control panel. You can pose the figure operating the articulated joystick and throttle controls while targeting Joe fighters.
“Seagull wing” canopy: The vehicle is equipped with gull-wing functioning doors with independent left and right sides that lift off the central hinges allowing the driver to enter from both sides of the HISS
Rear load compartment: The rear staff platform offers standing room for additional troops that can be positioned while holding the functional handrails. Below is a retractable tow bar at the rear of the vehicle. The center of the staff platform raises, allowing the rear cargo door to be lowered. This reveals an illuminated troop carrier cargo space. Inside there is a raised seat and a storage for weapon accessories.
Articulated turret with accessories for articulated guns: The 360-degree rotating turret includes control details and fits an additional GI Joe classified series action figure (sold separately). The “Diablo” Double Cannon accessories can rotate and rise independently of each other.
Removable engine cover detail: Behind the cockpit is the detail of the HISS-CS22 propulsion unit developed by MARS under a removable cover. Connects to the details of the side discharge door.
Removable Armor Plating Skirt: The Cobra HISS features a detachable armor plating skirt detail with reactive armor to provide additional protection for road wheels
Extendable boarding stairs in the cockpit: Folding boarding ladders descend from each side of the HISS providing the driver with easier access to the cockpit.
What do you think about it!? Will you jump on this HISS action?
