G.I. Joe ARAH Vintage HISS

I can't say enough about this last trade package I received from Brothermidnight . I've harped on endlessly about desperately needing a Joe fix and Brother came through In the clutch . I mean come on,a vintage HISS! I actually told him that he could hold off on sending this along with another modern HISS  to lower the shipping cost  but he  , In Brothermidnight fashion , sent them anyways.


From what I could tell It seems to be complete . Well almost complete If you count the driver . The HISS alone Is just such an iconic vehicle In the Joe mythos . 

This begs to be piloted by and equipped with a couple of vintage Cobra Troopers that ,unfortunately,  I don't have . Armored suit CC ,Falcon  Raptor and Crystal Ball will have to do for now. 




Here's what the shelf looks like now.



A big shout out to Brothermidnight for the insane Joe trade package ! There were other great figures included In the box that I'm holding off posting about for now.Stay tuned for new display pics and possibly some diorama pics with some of the new figures.

    Coll HISS. If I had the space, I'd love to have an entire shelf dedicated to 80's Joes.

    The HISS is such an iconic vehicle as you say, you could have no other vehicle for your Cobras but one HISS and they still would look cool.

    I really liked the modernized Direct-To-Consumer HISS with the troop compartment in the back too. Try to hunt one down they are awesome.

    I never had one as a kid so it's nice to finally own one.By the time I really started collecting as a kid ,most of the more prominent vehicles being portrayed on the show were no longer available at stores.

The other day ,my better half and I had the chance to traverse our local mall early In the day.I hate going to malls at peak hours or on the weekends.The crowds are just too damn cool for me.Long story short,our mall now has a toy store! I couldn't believe my eyes.From a far It looked like It was going to be some artsy fartsy place with educational toys ,wooden blocks and model kits,but no!This place had pretty much everything collectors go for nowadays.The name of the store Is "Go!,Toys and Games" and I can honestly say that I've never heard of It before.Everything was a dollar or two extra ,but that's not too bad considering how ridiculously expensive modern toys are In hobby and toy shops these days.I really hope this place sticks around. There Is a nice mix of everything.Marvel Legends,Star Wars  to blind bags to Funko figs.On top of that there are tons of board games   and books. WTF? Yes! 3 3/4 Marvel Legends!!!!!Not alot thou...

My last "Merry Christmas To Me" post was going to be of Marvel Legends Spider-Man animated cartoon series figure that I thought I was getting a great deal on. It turns out the figure was a bootleg. $30 down the drain and a fake Spider Man figure in the trash. I didn't even bother trying to get a refund from the seller. I'll chalk it up to a loss and keep it moving. So today I figured I'd  treat myself to something dope in the toy aisles at my local Walmart and found this!  I'm not sure if this is a reissue or what but It was the last one on the pegs and so I grabbed it. Now I can't get that damned theme song out of my head.
