This isn't anything new, I have been making and army building this design since 2004 or so. I recently got a big stash of extra tanks and wolverine turrets from a friend and have started on making some new ones, as well as some to sell at NJCC.

Here are the classic black, I think I have 20 of these in my collection currently. These two will be for sale at the show.

And here are two jungle versions. I've been on a big jungle kick lately. I made them to match a regular Jungle HISS I made several years ago, with dual vulcan cannons. The driver went with that one.

The jungle Missile HISS with the armored canopy will be available for sale at NJCC.

Seriously, Kevin, if Hasbro just handed you the license and the tooling dollars and said "make us a new vintage G.I. Joe line" I would be all up in that.

I love your stuff, and this is no exception.

I do have a small issue with the "Crimson Guard" being outfitted as field troops in jungle camouflage, but that complaint is minor, and the execution is great, even if I'm not thrilled with the concept.

DAMMIT those are awesome in black. (I like the jungle-themed ones too, but in my mind, HISS tanks are black.)

Agreed on all counts. Although I understand that you've gotta do something with the beat-up red Siegies, so you might as well give 'em a paint job. ;) Jungle HISS Driver rocks the socks.

Thanks Justin! I wish hasbro would just hand me the keys too, I'D make a Resolute Flagg in a heartbeat.

You two are sooooo behind the times....those are Black Major's Jungle CGs. they've been all over ebay, I didn't make em. thanks anyway though!!!! I did do the Jungle HISS driver though.

I totally stole Kevin's missile HISS to make one my own for my personal collection a while back. The man as a great eye for vehicle re-design. This isn't as good as his, but I am just happy to have something like this for my collection.

D'oh. I am shamed by my Black Major ignorance...there are so many of those damn things now, I can't keep 'em straight.

Love the HISS Driver. :)

Stop stroking Kevins ego. If he's not going to show the good stuff, he gets nothing.

Those look pretty nice.

Hopefully someone will be able to re-cast the Wolverine turret parts so that these can be mass-produced (OK, copied).
