 The Haslab his tank is here. Let's open it all right, I know from my earlier Haslab Item the sky striker there should be an inner box inside the outer box. So let's yes there is Yes, there is Okay, so Shall I take this out or should I open? I'm just gonna open it. I Think it the inner box is gonna be too difficult to get out. It has these corner pieces Corner pieces so open the inner box carefully I don't want to Slice it too deeply because I believe inside the inner box is an even inner box that has The toy itself. So here we go Opening this up if I cut it enough. Yes, I did It's got to go Don't know what I can use these for but I'll find some use for them now. We can open this and we have Yeah, there we go. There's that beautiful Haslab Cobra his tank artwork The design which we shall see even better when we take it out. Let's see. What's gonna be the best way to get this out This should just there we go back It's free. There we go It's like this Look at that that black and red Black and red may be my favorite color combination Maybe it's it's a really good one But let's look at this box all the way around There we go There's the top or anything on the bottom. It's just let's see on the bottom is Yeah Diagram Red on black and black on red that is absolutely gorgeous looks like we have Yeah, it looks like we have some tape here to cut So let's do that and we can actually get the thing out There we go. Just want to cut the tape not the box itself All right, so this is swing open. It sure does. All right That swings open and we've got looks like a oh, we've got a couple cardboard trays Really really nice branding really nice branding. I love it. All right, so we've got this Huge tray. Oh look at that That's that's lovely I'm assuming that has the figures and this is the his tank itself, so let's Pull it out now we will set aside this beautiful package Box with all the gorgeous artwork on it setting that over here So that does not get damaged and it doesn't look like either of these or tape so This I'm not mistaken This would be the figures, right? It looks like it just swings open Yeah Look at that sticker sheets and some other paperwork and Some tissue paper One two three four classified six inch action figures including the carted cobra commander We're gonna we're gonna look at these Let me swing this closed here for a second so that I can sit at the side Take a peek at that. So here is the vehicle itself looks like it just swings From here. Oh my All right, so there's There are some pieces that are kind of just slid into these openings on this top shell so we've got a cannon piece we've got Canopies multiple canopies we've got Some threads or these are not the threads. These are the armor pieces for the trends So got extra pieces and then I believe if I pull this oops, I believe I believe if I pull this up We shall have Yeah, oh wow Okay, little cardboard pieces Setting aside the cats are already interested in the boxes, but there We've waited for it and there she is one beautiful his tank In a plastic wrapper, I know we've got these smaller pieces and these slots Around the his tank try to get that get a view on that so Yeah, these are all individually wrapped in plastic keep them all safe And then we have The big one here she is the his tank I'm gonna set her right there. I'm gonna move this box So that I can remove the tank itself from the plastic and we can see it for the first time After it was a fairly significant weight to get it, but Not too long. I've waited longer for other Kick starters and crowdfunding projects. So it's a bit was a bit of a weight, but not as bad as it could have been and Yeah, okay, so there's like a Plastic shrink wrap around it shrink wrap cardboard More plastic trim shrink wrap. There's the edge There she is the basic tank It's it's hefty. It's it feels very high quality It's not extremely heavy, but there is a heft to it It is substantial and it is it's large because it's made for six-inch action figures I'm gonna take a closer look and I'm gonna start putting this together, but there's that cockpit and Yeah, it has the the light that should shine a Cobra emblem down on the table in front of it So We will get all of that ready now. Do we have instructions or was that in here? Do we have instructions in here? We have stickers in here. Now these stickers it looks like you can put Other decals on it, but I really like the 788 that's on here and I would not want to change it the basic Deco on here with the Cobra emblem and the The 788 and the other things those are not stickers those are painted on which is Beautiful and I love the extra effort so Got some legal disclaimers I've got a cat playing with the box if you hear a sound it's a cat playing with the box. Look at all this Look at all that And and that It's it's lovely, isn't it? So I'm gonna use this to Assemble it and yeah, there are some extra stickers You can have a more classic 788 rather than the The fade on this 788 Or you can have different numbers you can just put different numbers on it. I Want the classic look so I'm gonna leave it exactly as it is But for those who want to customize it a bit more You have options. Let me also make a note. These are real rubber treads that really roll That Is not a fake tread with just some wheels under it Um, that is awesome. I know some folks were saying they wanted The his tank to be motorized. Well, it isn't and I would not use a motorized feature even if it was so Having the his tank motorized would have been an extra expense for a feature that I would never have used So I'm kind of glad it wasn't but for those customizers who customizers who would like to motorize the his tank you have Working treads for starters you've got a couple options for the canopy We have the classic clear plastic canopy, which is nice we also have the updated canopy with the Panels and the goal wing doors. Let's let's see if we can pop that on It looks easy enough. I'm glancing at the instructions It also it has a plastic bag and the plastic spring wrap as well. So it's double protected and it's uh Yeah, it uh Looks pretty good. It has a couple tabs here that will fit on there. It looks like for the hinge Okay, we have a canopy. Here we go his tank with canopy setting this aside and There we go one canopy Closes has a tab at the front where it snaps in front and the classified style canopy has these goal wing Doors that swing open It's kind of cool. Get some air conditioning Get some airflow for the driver, but I don't think the driver can actually fit in and out of there. So it's primarily for looks Is it does it look better? Then the clear canopy it really depends because um It's a bit more red On the front end of the vehicle Uh, at least so far. It's not balanced by any additional red at the back end. The main guns are here Uh Nice all the plastic bags have uh are open you don't have to tear them open Which means you can place the items back inside. That's lovely So this Looks like there's a control yoke there Ah, that's right They are ratcheted There are a couple pegs there that fit in these holes and that should looks like it should fit pretty snugly and pretty easily maybe So we have where we are emulating the look of the classic his tank But we're doing it in a different way in a more sturdy way. This is Uh much more substantial than the vintage his tank cannons. They can elevate independently On a ratchet and those are are not going to break, you know, we have that problem with the vintage His tank cannons. So now we've got these other pieces And I'm going to try to follow the instructions on how to assemble them So we've got these side mounted Missile launchers we've got two of those Once we attach all of these then it will have a much more geared up look than the original Looks like here we have these These hatches that open on the side here. You can Remove these missiles to fire them And let's see. It looks like those go There they latch in very it's very satisfying click Um Same on the other side It's a hatch Right there flip it up And there we go. Snap it in Now I'm surrounded by plastic. I'm going to move some of this plastic now. This is where Maybe the red On the canopy gets balanced out a little bit with some additional red stripes On the armor pieces. So let me see how these are supposed to go on These go on it's hard to line this up when I'm not looking at it. So Is that is that in? I think that's in so there you go. We have some armor plate I'll put this on These are the updated classified style armor rather than the Oh, look, we have a cat Drawn to the large black vehicle. He thinks it's uh, it's long lost relative All right, there we go So They're the army pieces they peg into holes on the bogies we have again these these extra armor pieces that um If you want it to look more like the vintage his tank you can pop these on Uh, which I meant which I will do I'll show you guys what it looks like with the classic looking pieces later, but I also want to show you the The updated and upgraded classified style pieces and such These little mini machine guns which go I believe Oh wait, this is the chin gun. Hey, check this out This is the chin gun Yeah, there we go Give us some additional Forward firepower. There we go. It is articulated And it goes right there Looks like it and there's the cat again Curious about what's going on nothing going on sir. There we go Mini machine guns post on there and that's basically it What are these pieces for these are ammunition boxes? Yeah, these are ammunition boxes for the mini guns Let me see how they attach Looks like they attach this Looks like the red faces front Which means this should go like this And this should go like this, right Yeah, it looks like it. Okay, so There's the fully loaded look Oh, yeah, this is the extra armor piece For the gun. Let me see where this goes. I believe this just Let's see. Yeah Snaps on kind of slides on there between the machine guns Now you have some extra armor for the machine gunner And that's it. Now. This is the fully loaded and geared up look for the hazelab his tank Let's show some modifications and then we will look at the action figures Here is the his tank with the full loadout in classified mode. You might call it with all of the additional weapon pieces attached You have these missile launchers one on each side and those will those will swing out so Uh, those will extend and these missiles are removable They peg in a lot like a vintage gi joe missile, which is Nice, no reason to update the technology when it works There are electronics on this. I'm gonna try to show you the features before I show you the electronics But there's a button on the underside here. That's very easy to press While moving it around so you may get a sneak preview at some of the electronics As I'm showing you the features, but let's start in the front. We have The canopy the canopy has these Gullwing doors, which will swing open one on each side. It's got the black and the red trim around the clear plastic And it will open from the front Swing up on the hinge and you have a cockpit with lots of detail That's going to look even cooler with the electronics on it's got a single seat With a seat belt and some controllers So, um, we're gonna show you that with the electronics on After I show you all these features and then I'll put it in the vintage classic his tank mode with the other parts It has Some ladders which can swing down for the gunner to have access to the gun turret So these ladders one on each side That's a nice touch all these little details that were not on the original his tank But could have been they make sense. They're functional We have this large gun turret will which will rotate all the way around Takes a little bit of muscle to do it, but just Pushing and you can spin this thing all the way around. It will elevate The two main guns will elevate on a ratchet independently That's a bit different from the vintage his tank, but you can still you can still Make it look like that vintage with both both weapons elevated to the same To the same degree also this whole turret Will come out which is nice. I'd rather the thing come out then for it to break so That cup for the Machine gunner or for the gunner to stand Will entirely come out In addition to these you have, you know the armor plate in the front There are two mini guns here, which will also pivot And elevate and they've got the ammunition cans I guess the gunner is supposed to operate all four of these guns So the gunner has a lot of work to do on here Operating both the main guns and these two side mini guns In addition to that we have In the back This rail, you know for somebody who's riding along on this platform To grasp onto always wise to have some kind of a grip for for anyone riding on the back that back platform will flip up and down And it has a flip out tow hitch There will be things for it to tow. It doesn't have anything to tow right now But there will be things in the future For this the his tank to tow and then finally we have the back door Which can pull down And the electronics inside may come on. Let's see Yep. Yeah, okay. Yeah, the light turns on on the inside when you open the ramp You've got this kind of silver plastic Textured ramp. You've got a seat A single seat inside and this seat will Will slide up and down And then on this side it has a rack for some weapons. It has a weapons rack on there And I guess that's for the weapons that comes with the figure We will put some weapons in there once we look at the figures and you have this I mentioned the electronics might might come on You might get a preview Because it's very easy to accidentally hit that button But yeah, it has some taillights as you saw So this is nice. This is something the vintage his tank did not have At least the first version of the his tank And you know, there's enough room in there. There's a cavity in there. You can use it Why not use it for some weapons and a tactician or just anyone riding along? So that is the back these treads are Amazing these treads They they Roll They're a little rough as you would expect but the treads I mean They're rubbery and they're really solid. I don't think you will have any trouble With these treads if you move this thing around Yeah It's substantial and it's nice to have actual treads and not the fake treads that we got on the vintage vehicle With just some wheels underneath now this underneath The battery compartment is here And I did put some batteries in and then there's that button which is here That activates the electronics before I show off all the electronics I want to go ahead and swap out these parts. I want to take all the extra pieces off I want to put the the pieces that mimic the vintage his tank on So that you can see a side-by-side comparison between this and the vintage his tank So let's pause for a second and I'll swap out some parts. Here it is as a classic his tank This is without all of these extra pieces and it comes with a lot of extra pieces Um, so this is without the extra weapons and the extra decorative stuff This This is a his tank. It is a his tank similar to The vintage his tank from 1983 That is that is the size Of a vintage his tank and yep, I did activate the electronics again. It is Really easy. I don't know if it's a complaint or not, but it's very very easy to accidentally activate the The electronics because the button is right here where you would normally put your hand to move this thing So If you don't want to wear out your batteries, you know, just be careful This is the his tank from 1983 and this is your haz lab his tank for the classified scale scaled for six inch action figures and Obviously, it's much bigger. It has that classic vintage Clear plastic canopy It already online it has cat fur on it. It doesn't take long for the cats to get fur all over everything My apologies. Try to keep this thing clean and keep them off of it But you know how cats are it's almost just a straight scaled up from The original his tank the winning thing in one 18th scale his tank But you still have a few extra features. You still have the ladders on the sides You still have the hyper detailed cockpit and with that clear canopy up that's that's very reminiscent of of your vintage his tank access the Cockpit in exactly the same way single seat cockpit And and you have the The cargo door in the back that opens up to the troop carrying and weapons carrying compartment Let's look at this cockpit really quick. It has the seat belt and that seat belt can be unhooked. There is Yeah, there's a Peg and a hole so you can unhook that seat belt if it's a figure in you've got the cobra emblem You got the red seat a check on this out. There's a joystick that joystick It moves it moves and this This throttle switch here That also moves. It's it's a functional cockpit. Look, it's got Colored buttons. It's got screens. There's your your classic look his tank. I mean this thing If this is what you wanted, you know, here you go. You can't beat it. It's a his tank If you wanted something extra if you just don't want just an upscaled upsized His tank if you want it refreshed a bit if you want it More decked out you can add any of these pieces you can add the The the alternate armor which just has more detail and more color you can add the The other canopy which just again has just a bit more detail and color so you can also Change out the stickers. You can change out the numbers You can change out the cobra emblem style. There is the mickey mouse cobra emblem on there That's going to be important for later when we look at the cobra commander figure But there are some customization options or you can have it like this Which is probably how I will have it which is with the classic look Your your classic his tank the back of the instruction sheet shows how many times you need to push the button on the bottom To activate the different electronics. It's a one button system So however many times you touch it will determine what turns on I'm going to turn some lights out because I think some of these light up features will look better So lights out. I believe if I hit this one more time then the Yes, the cobra Ground effects will come on. So check that out. This uh, there's your his tank And it actually shines a cobra emblem It shines a cobra emblem this ground effect on the ground in front of the his tank It's harder to see what the light on but with the light off That is really sharp. This is a really cool feature I don't know how often I would really use this But it sure would make it look even more impressive on the shelf if I'm not mistaken if I hit it again It should turn on the headlights. Yeah, there we go. So okay, let's turn the lights out and see what those headlights look like Yeah, you know, just imagine that coming down the highway looking at you. That's that's pretty scary There are also lights on the back. This is really good. I don't really need electronics. It's not Vital I like this thing. I would like it even without the electronics But it is just kind of cool that the thing has lights in the front and the back and then I think I think the next one is already activated. I may have pushed the button too many times But no, no, I take that back. You got your head your your your brights. It turns the brights on So now you have these beams on the underside To to track down the enemy at night. That's awesome hitting the button again We'll see turn it turns that all it turns off the the cobra emblem on the ground It turns off the ground effect, but it seems to keep the other lights still on Yeah, the lights in the back are still on the lights in the interior are still on But the ground effect is turned off hit it again. And what does it do? It turned off the top lights But it still has the lower lights on Does not have the ground effect on It still has the interior lights on And it still has the tail lights on And then let's hit it one more time and I believe that'll turn the ground effect back on Let's adjust the camera I think this one will turn the ground effect back on No, I miscounted That one I think turns off everything looks like except for These red lights in the front So only those lights are on the lights in the back are also off the interior lights are off And then if I hit it one more time Yeah, that turns the ground effect back on without the interior lights the interior lights are off The ground effect is on and then I think if I hit it one more time Everything is off. Yes, that's off one reminder. There is one other lighting effect If you open this cargo door the interior will light up I'm gonna go ahead and turn on the electronics so you can see the light up cockpit. Check this out Yeah, look at that Look at that. Look at that light up cockpit. That is impressive. You got like radar screens and some gauges and some touch screens and like a A targeting system here. It's really nice. It's that's really impressive a lot of detail went into there Let's look at the action figures that came with the his tank It came with four action figures at 25 bucks a pop That's a hundred dollars worth of action figures that came with this Which actually brings the cost of the his tank itself down Quite a bit. It's a surprisingly Low priced for what you get. I'm impressed anyway, so we've got some tissue paper and we've got We've got one two three four action figures Let's take these out. Well, let's start at this end. Actually, this is The Cobra his tactician This is special Back in 1982 for the 1983 gijo series Ron Rudat who worked for hasbro at the time designed the his tank driver From his color studies when he was doing the design work for that figure Hasbro Let the fans vote On which of the different color studies they would have as an action figure Basically the same figure but in different colors. This one won the vote and you know what? I'm pretty happy with it. This is the one that I wanted to to win the vote. This package artwork Is by Ron Rudat I have had the privilege of meeting Ron Rudat several times. He's a really cool guy And it's really nice to see him get the recognition that he deserves for all the work he did on gijo For hasbro back in the 80s and since then and here he is Right now present day in modern gijo With some package art and with a figure That is based on his color studies back in the 80s. So this one This one is special to me This is one of the reasons I wanted to get the his tank Of course, I wanted the his tank, but I also wanted to support someone Who deserves the support so? Well done Ron. Congratulations Then we have the cobra his driver This looks like yeah, that's the the classic classic deco And We have the Yes, this is the cobra his gunner So this is a new figure. This is a a female trooper It's nice to get more female troopers. We don't get a lot of those But a female trooper and a his driver uniform I like the his driver uniform. You can't go wrong with that. So this This is pretty cool. So we've got four figures. Those are three that come in the classic numbered the the numbered Classified boxes, which one is number 100 the Ron Rudat figure is number 100 Well done Hasbro guys. You know, I've got to give credit to the Hasbro brand team when they deserve it That's nice. I like that very much. And then finally we have cobra commander and this Let me move this out of the way This is a carded retro style cobra commander. Um, but Um, this is a bit different. First of all, we have Look at that That's pretty classic. And look at that a single language file card a single language file card the Cobra emblem on This cobra commander is the mickey mouse cobra commander emblem. That is something that Is well known to gi joe collectors Um, and it's really nice that they uh, they had this this little touch to the cobra commander figure That's what makes this cobra commander figure special now unlike these Which I I can put back in the box Um, once I've done checking them out, this is uh, yeah, it is the blister is glued onto the card So I'm gonna have to actually rip the blister off or cut the blister off Of the card in order to look at this figure, but you know what? That's what I got it for So that's exactly what I'll do. Let's take a look at the figures starting with this one This is the cobra hiss driver. This is the basic figure. This is the one that must come with the hiss tank It's in the windowless style box And this is what I wanted the windowless boxes to be more space for character artwork like this big Portrait of the hiss driver here. I think that looks great. Uh, it's all in black and red This is special for this has lab project. In fact, it says has lab right there on the top On the top it has has lab gi jo classified series and in the background it has a diagram of the hiss tank That's very nice very subtle. I think that looks really good gi jo classified series cobra hiss driver on the front on the side We have this cobra hiss emblem and this looks great I always liked this kind of side facing cobra, which was on The moray hydrofoil I believe is where this is uh was originated. At least it's based on that So you've got cobra hiss. You have the famous seven eight eight And you have on the back a diagram of the figure with kind of a faded cobra emblem in the background This is all made to look very sharp. It's made to look high quality. It's made to look like You really got something for your money. This is not your typical off the pegs off the shelf gi jo classified figure We can see it comes with a change of hands there and a pistol and a rifle and then on this side It has the number 99 And it has these symbols which represent his specialty This is number 99 in the classified series and he's the cobra high speed sentry driver There doesn't appear to be any tape on this So I believe we can just open this up and take this out of the box And take a look at oh, yeah, look at this take a look at our hiss tank driver And this would be the box for his accessories There is the hiss driver in this coffin style box and the character artwork is repeated on the inside of the box He's attached with these plastic ties. So we'll need to cut those in order to get him out All right, I've cut the plastic ties and now here he is out of the box and Just holding this figure in my hand. It just feels special The leggings here the leg armor all in black. It's kind of glossy. So it just feels sort of smooth and Then you've got the texture on the top half of the figure and then you've got the The armor plate with the silver cobra emblem. That is just gorgeous I'm not going to go over all the articulation on these figures like I normally would they have standard classified Articulation and I have four figures to go through here But just look at the details look at the helmet with the snake on the top and the visor The black over the face. He has some electronics on his forearm And that is really nice lots of extra detail and all of the classic details all the details from the vintage figure Are still here. It looks like it looks like he has a red hinge on this wrist He's got a black armband and black over the glove But then the hinge is red I guess to match the inside of the glove And so it has this problem It looks you can see the hinge on the wrist and it's not the worst ever But you can see it you can notice it and he has the black leg armor and a holster We'll get the pistol out of the accessories box here in a minute I never quite understood why the his driver had armor on his legs Since it's the upper half of the body that's exposed, but it still looks really nice on the figure Here is the vintage his driver standing next to the classified his driver and yeah, it looks right It looks like the vintage his driver upscaled and updated Now the vintage his driver did not include accessories But the classified his driver does so let's take a look at the accessories in this box I kind of like these accessory boxes from the windowless packaging because it reminds me of the old Foot lockers from the 12 inch joes So it looks like you're supposed to open it from the end and The accessories are right here in this tissue paper And I believe you have to cut or tear the tissue paper to get to them Yes, it's not not open. So we'll just tear into that And dump the accessories out come on guys All right, there's what we've got we have this submachine gun with a bayonet a silver bayonet very long Extending way out beyond the barrel and it does have a removable magazine That's a unique accessory that can be put in the cargo bay of the his tank You can put it on one of those weapons racks if you don't want the driver to carry this around There's this teeny tiny pistol and this pistol should fit nicely in the holster So he can carry this around he can carry this accessory while he's in the driver's seat There you go one pistol in holster and then you have two extra hands They are fists and looks like they have rings around the wrist So let's swap these hands out and see how they look here is the his driver with the alternate hands on the closed Fists and it looks like you need to take this wristband off of the right wrist in order to put these on These rings around the wrist totally cover up the hinge. So you don't have that problem at all They look kind of like sparring gloves. I think I prefer him with the standard hands on even with the unsightly hinge So i'm gonna pop these off put the original hands back on and yeah, I just think that's much more functional and He can hold his rifle. I say that but it is exceptionally difficult to get it in his hand You can kind of wow angle it maybe and uh, all right his driver I just want to pose you with the rifle just for a second. Come on. Come on. You can get it in your hand Get in your hand The plastic on these hands does flex and it's a good thing because you really have to stretch it in order to Get the weapons and the hands Okay, you know what forget it. He's a vehicle driver. He doesn't need it Let's put the driver in the cockpit. Let's put him in the seat and just see how he looks this Seat belt goes between his legs and around his waist and then this one should go up Over his shoulders and then attach here in the center. Let's see if I can do that without getting my hand in the way Should attach There in the center Can I do that without getting my hand in the way? There we go success a seat belt is attached So he's not going anywhere and as you can see he sits well in the driver's seat He's deep down in there. He sits much better in this driver's seat than the vintage figure fit in the vintage vehicle so you can close the canopy and Yeah, he looks great. With the clear canopy, you can clearly see the figure in there Even though there are some control instruments for him I am not going to try to put the figures hands on those those look a little thin and I don't want to break them But you have a his driver in the his tank and that looks fantastic now. Let's see What the instruments look like With the driver in let's let's light this sucker up And yeah, there we go. Yeah instruments on And we are ready for action Now let's look at the Ron Ruddatt figure the cobra his tactician with the Ron Ruddatt artwork And the signature and the color scheme that was voted by fans It's the same basic box design as the previous figure has cobra his tactician here and I missed this before Semper fidelis serpents always faithful to the snake I think same design on the side, which it just looks good. You don't have to change it. It's about perfect I love it a diagram of the figure and the accessories on the back looks the same as the his driver and this is basically a his driver, but with different colors and Slightly different specialties. You still have the tank and the ammunition, but you also have this star cluster He's probably supposed to be an officer. The others are the same This is number 100 in the gijo classified series and I'm very happy They used number 100 to do a tribute to Ron Ruddatt one of the most important people in the development of gijo in the 80s Once again, no tape. So let's open this guy and See what we've got Here is the coffin tray with the figure Try to pull that out without damaging the box But uh, here we go. Oh, look at that Haha, look at that Uh, that is just beautiful. I'm I'm almost speechless. I just love that. Look at that Red and gray and black that is gorgeous We have an accessories box like the other figure and we will look at the accessories But I want to take this thing out. I really want to look at this figure Here is the his tactician out of the box and I love this figure This looks like a deluxe figure. I know it's just a color swamp But look at it. The colors look great the gray and the black the subtle contrast Look at the the shine on the shoulder pads on the armor around the shoulders the kind of silver color That black chest plate with the red cobra emblem that pops and we have yeah the base gray With black on top of that it's it's a subtle contrast that I just think looks fantastic Got some extra paint applications on the on the boot armor there on the shins It's I love it. I love it. I love this figure. I'm really glad this one won the fan vote That is a gorgeous figure the accessories should be the same as the his driver except for perhaps with a color difference So let's go ahead and pop the them out take a look at them and open the tissue paper wrapping And see what we've got But I think it's just a variation on the his drivers accessories and yeah, yeah, that's what it is Look, you've got a color variation on that submachine gun removable magazine, but you've got red in addition to the black Looks really nice. You've got those same fists, but with red instead of black Alrighty and then you've got the pistol. We'll go ahead and put the pistol in the holster. That's the one that he can carry Other than that though, I'm not going to bother demonstrating the other accessories We've already seen how they work on the his driver and they are the same here This one is going on that weapons rack in the his tank. The tactician I think will be seated in the back He will bark orders over the radio from the relative safety of the interior of the tank Let's look at the third figure and the last of the his crew. This is the cobra his gunner on this box We have the character artwork on the front. This is a female cobra trooper And I'm really happy to get more female cobra troopers excellent really nice Uh, the same basic layout for the box Same on this side Back has the diagram of the figure and the accessories a lot more accessories for this figure Looks like the same basic accessories as the others But a few in addition and then we have the specialties over here And it's a little bit different from the previous ones. These These two are different from the his driver looks like that's crosshairs And that is an r2d2. I guess this is figure number 101 in the gi jo classified series So let's open this up. I am really excited to see this one This video may not be quite as polished as some of my other videos But I've been waiting for a really long time to get this his tank and I'm extremely excited that it's here So, uh, I'm sorry if I'm rushing through this. I'm trying to slow down so you can see everything but uh, yeah Look at that that That is something the design of this his gunner is the same as the his driver by using the female body It has basically the same details same helmet Same technology here on the arm Same overall design the same details Everything is the same But on a female body instead of the male body the 1983 his tank did not include a gunner Some later his tanks did but on that 83 his tank You had to have another action figure if you wanted someone manning the gun So it's nice to get a gunner With this has lab his tank. This is a very welcome addition. There is one point of articulation I wanted to check on this figure and that is the elbow this figure does have Double jointed elbows and that's nice not all of the female action figures do So i'm glad they have the double jointed elbows on this one. This figure includes a lot of accessories So let's look at them open the accessories box the footlocker and slide the tissue paper wrapper out and we will Peel it open And dump it out and see what we got This one has it still has the same accessories as the other two But it has some in addition to that so There is our accessories pile. That is a lot of accessories. Check this out. This looks like a A tactical shotgun with like a drum magazine. That's so cool. Does that come off? It does. It is removable I dig that That is sweet. That is really cool. I love it. Next we have oh this this Shovel thing this uh that all that's in here. I just want to make sure Yeah, that's it. Okay This very It's very interesting looking tool this shovel or entrenching tool or whatever it's supposed to be is certainly quite ornate And uh, I mean it looks good. I don't know that I would have the action figure using it basically ever But it does look good. We have the same submachine gun as the other figures with the bayonet the very long bayonet silver paint and Removable magazine. I like that very much It's a unique design and I do like it But it's going to be really hard to fit in any of these figures hands because of the way the grip is designed That's just going to be hard to get the hand wrapped around that we have a meal near. I guess it looks like a Hammer and a pickaxe on this end a spiked hammer. That's pretty gnarly looking Another piece of equipment that I probably wouldn't use on the figure But it's nice to have and it just adds something that the gunner might use to work on the hiss tank You know, maybe you have to hammer down some of that armor plate or whatever. We have the fist hands I'm sure for some collectors. These extra hands are vitally important. I don't care as much about them So, you know, these are just extra pieces to me In fact, I'm not going to bother putting them on the figure because I just don't care about those What I do care about is the pistol because this is something that can be holstered So the figure can just carry this. We don't have to leave this in the box or Put it on the weapons rack. It can just go in the holster and now we have an armed gunner Where will the gunner go? Let me think how about in the turret? There we go And she is the perfect height to man these giant guns There is a steering yoke that I pointed out earlier And I believe you can place the figure's hands on there that steering yoke is a softer plastic So I don't think there's any danger with squeezing the figure's hand. Yeah Squeezing the figure's hands On that steering yoke. Now we have the gunner in the turret and her hands are on these control yokes So she's ready. She's ready to go She's ready to take on gi joe. I I love this. I think it's fantastic Now the fourth and final figure the retro carded cobra commander And this is one that requires us to cut it off of the card. So let's go ahead and do it There is the retro cobra commander exclusive to the has lab his tank. There is some new card art Looks like there's some texture on that art either some paper texture or print texture as seen on the card art And on the figure This is the mickey mouse cobra commander as denoted by this simplified cobra emblem on the chest It is a famous early variant of the cobra commander action figure from 1982 In fact, you could say it's the first variant This is a classic look cobra commander very much in that 1982 style That is the selling point of this figure It is coco as you know him accessories include a removable dagger on the left leg And on the back a recharging pack for his venom laser pistol The laser pistol is removable from the backpack and the recharging pack is also removable I do like that the charging pack is removable So you can have him look as he did in the cartoon series without the pack Or you can have him look as he did on the action figure With the recharging pack you can squeeze the venom laser pistol into the hand one thing about these classified weapons They are difficult to get in the figure's hands, but once you get them in they're not going to fall out Cobra commander has some extra hands. He has a right and the left fist So we can have both hands and fists punching, I guess Then he has a right hand with a finger pointing And then he has a left hand that is a claw hand like he's gripping something and that can work with the Final accessory this cobra wrapped around a globe with this gripping hand He can hold the globe with the cobra wrapped around it. It's a bit cartoonish, but so is cobra commander For comparison purposes, we can stand him next to the first gi joe classified series cobra commander And you can see this cobra commander is radically redesigned with a more detailed uniform and a more angular helmet I like the redesign I like the first classified cobra commander if they only gave us one cobra commander I would choose this one But it's nice to have a cobra commander that's inspired by that 1982 figure You may recall that the first classified cobra commander had extra hands in the same poses like this right-handed pointing pose So you might think they just reissued those old hands But they did not these are the same poses But the hands are different they manufactured new hands for this retro cobra commander another classified cobra commander We can stand next to the retro cobra commander is the snake supreme cobra commander It uses the same mold as the first classified cobra commander, but with a much more elaborate Printed deco He has a soft good cape like the retro cobra commander the snake supreme cobra commander can hold a globe in his hand But that's where the similarities end this retro cobra commander is intentionally quite simple While the snake supreme cobra commander has extreme intricate detail You may recall that the snake supreme cobra commander included a gold venom laser pistol Well, is it the same pistol on the retro figure? No, it is not They totally redesigned that they did not reissue the same accessory the back of the card is simple But still pretty sweet. It has a huge cobra emblem and designed by has lab established 2018 The card text appears to be the same as the version one card, but this card is still kind of special Usually hasbro has to print multilingual cards for gi joe file cards But this one has an english only file card Which means it can include the entire text without being cluttered with five other languages I think this looks great and check it out. It's unpunched. Where will we put cobra commander on the his tank? I think he should be riding on the back platform and if he hangs on like this we can still Open the back door. There is your has lab his tank. What do I think of it? I love it It would be easy to be disappointed by something of this magnitude and of this cost And especially after having waited so long to get it But this thing really does live up to the hype. Are there things that could have been done better? I guess there are no foot pegs foot pegs are a mixed bag. They can be functional They can help keep a figure on but they can also break up a nice design So I guess they chose design over function and I don't hate it I'm glad they made a choice and it's okay, but it also would have been nice to have some of that function as well I like the electronics. They're very well done. It's a good effect like the cobras on these tail lights But I don't know that I will use the electronics very often I can live without the lighting effects and without the electronics It could have been a lower price point, but some collectors might not have bought it without the electronics So I guess they had to include that I am glad they didn't go with the suggestion of making it motorized Then we would have had a $500 his tank with a feature that I never would have used I showed you the updated features like the missile launchers and the other canopy earlier in this video because I wanted to get that out of the way What I really wanted was a classic his tank for the classified scale and that's what this is right here That's how I'm the most happy with it. And I think it's beautiful The his tank itself is a beautiful design and you know, you can't go wrong by Upscaling that for the classified figures at six inches, but to fit six inch figures in this thing Of course, it has to be huge. You may recall with the hazelab sky striker I was a bit disappointed because when I got it, it was missing some parts But I am not disappointed in this at all This is is beautiful. This is everything that I hoped it would be if it has any shortcomings It certainly isn't diminishing my enjoyment of it. Yes, the price tag is hefty But you have to keep in mind it includes four action figures and these classified figures are running about 25 bucks a piece So that's 100 dollars worth of action figures So really we're getting a hundred dollars worth of action figures and a 200 dollar his tank Which is in the scale for classified six inch figures And is enormous with electronics with extra features with extra accessories Really, I can't find a lot to complain about here. That's the hazelab his tank. I hope you enjoyed this video I went into as much detail as I could I admit this video wasn't Planned as well and wasn't as polished as a lot of my other reviews But I really wanted to get this in front of the camera and show you this because I was kind of excited about it. I've been waiting for it a long time and once I got it out of the box It actually lived up to my expectations Um, I think this is fantastic The his tank is one of my favorite early vehicles and one of my favorite all-time Cobra vehicles and to see it at this scale is it's special and the Ron Ruddatt tribute figure This This is important to me. This means something to me I've had the privilege of meeting Ron Ruddatt more than once now And to actually see his signature on a modern current g.i.jo action figure That that means More to me than the his tank the his tank's pretty special But this means even more to me than that when I first got back into g.i.jo in 2014 I was only interested in vintage. That's all I wanted to buy. That's all I wanted to display That's all I wanted to talk about and for the most part It's still the same. I'm still a vintage collector primarily But at the time what was being produced for g.i.jo Modern toys There's not stuff that I was really interested in anyway And then there was the dry period where there wasn't really anything being produced If you were interested in the figure subscription service or the Joe con exclusives you could grab those but I wasn't interested in those And g.i.jo just seemed to be Not on the decline. It had already declined. It just wasn't a thing anymore. Nobody paid attention to it. Nobody cared about it but now Well, I mean here we are. This is something substantial. This is something I never Would have guessed we would get and in this quality. This is just Extraordinary quality the the g.i.jo team At hasbro. They've made mistakes. They've made plenty of mistakes, but This is not one of them. All I can say is Thank you and thank you for watching this video.
