25th Black Hyena

[Chopper]

Yeah I think it's pretty cool, although I think they could have updated the cockpit to have a console or something similar. They had the Flight Pod there too, which looks the same, but does anyone know what other Cobra vehicles have they re-issued using the same old moulds?

Off the top of my head VAMP, RAM, Armadillo (pretty close to the original), MOBAT. I could kill for the battle pack, Crimson HISS and a MOBAT. Some other garbage as well, but those are all you need.

The tooling is very similar, but not quite. I will do that comparison, promise...

nah, don't worry, that's cool, was more curious more than anything else. Acts as a cheap place holder for now. They had a Python Water Moccasin, but not too fussed on that.

For me anything after AF is ok but not really sought after. Cataloguing the 87-89 stuff gave me a bit of an interest but hasn't replaced my desire to get the Palitoy and AF figures. Mind you about half of my guys are post BAF now.

Have a butchers at this;



I HAVE to have one. Coolest Joe toy's since 1983 Wish they grew on trees.

Finally won that elusive red shadows Hyena on 'the bay' not so long ago, and now I'm 2 days away from going to the states to see the in-laws, and have now found out about this! My red Hyena has its tracks stuck on with superglue, so I'm using this as justification for picking up one of these whilst I'm stateside. Does anyone know if the decals on this HISS reissue are just that, or if they are tampo printed in some way that makes them difficult to remove? If they do come off easy, I'll be putting some retro green white and black stickers on this one for definite! I also noticed that the SHARK/Flying Submarine has been reissued too (but no sign of the 4WD Stinger -Booh!), so much for my cheap trip to America...

G'day Slight Someone really needs to sign up with the name "Not sure", lol.

My Hyena has clear stickers. I'd imagine the rest are the same. My birthday next month, I'm going to push for the Battle Pack. Then I'll Zed up the Mobat and Shad up the Hyena. One can never have too many Hyena's

I read somewhere the Stinger/NAJ is scheduled to be released too. SHARK looks very close to the flying sub and even Deep Six looks pretty good, have to add that one at some point tho the original Joe ones don't seem to command a high price anyway.

Fantastic! That's going to make my life easier if the stickers are easy to get off. Never had the Flying Sub as a kid and was one of the ones I wanted when looking at the pictures of all the AF vehicles on the side of the boxes back in the day (Is it me or was Deep Six a dead ringer for Buzz Lightyear, even though Deep Six came first?). Just found out that the Tiger Force Rattler is at Target too. Luckily we're taking a fair few bits of luggage with us to accomodate all the PG Tips teabags and Cadbury's chocolate that the missus family have asked us to take over to the states, but even then, I think getting a Rattler in for the return journey might be a tad much! Our little guy also gets a luggage allowance even though he's only 9 months old, so maybe there's a way...

Ditch all the packaging? Does the Rattler come disassembled? If you can take the wings off it'll be much easier to pack.
