Couldn't disagree more on the Stinger Driver. Must be an age group/generational thing because as i kid WE loved this figure, even more so than the original blue shirt trooper. His colors matched perfectly with the vehicle, and the grey gave him a real intriguing aura of higher ranking. Love the reviews as always man keep them coming!

@andy-in-indy 3 жыл бұрын

My personal head canon is that GI Joe and Cobra get them from the same manufacturer, and that the Cobra ones are either repurposed Civilian versions or Surplus models, like the military HUMVEEs that you saw on the street in the late 90's. Or maybe they were built by Destro's company to begin with. . .

awesome video!!! this was the first ever GiJoe vehicle I ever got back in 1987, it was super exciting having a car for the joes and cobras to drive around in. the wheels were squeeky straight away lol, brings back alot of memories, i will have to go out to the storage stuff in the garage and find this and mess round with it and the rest of the figures and sets!!!! :)

Awesome work! The stinger was one of my favorites but never had it as a child. I didn't mind the figure and the colors of the figure meshed really well with the vehicle, however since he is the equivalent of a major I figured he would have had a silver Cobra symbol on his chest versus the enlisted red. Looking through your comments it's amazing to seeing how many people were in your live chat tonight that have posted on here. You certainly have a lot of followers who have stuck through with you through the years. Something to be very happy and pleased with I say.

Never had the stinger, but had multiple hiss tanks somehow as a child. Also had the snowcat with frostbite, the transport vehicle, the water moccasin cobra boat, the Cobra rattler, but never had the G.I. Joe striker or the vamp, All in all, somehow my childhood collection favored cobra vehicles. But as far as the figures went I was pretty much dead even between Joe's and Cobras give it take any duplicate or triples of any figures I may have somehow amassed.

I think in the Marvel Joe comics, Destro revealed that he supplied both Joe and Cobra with advanced weapons, so the Stinger/Vamp reskin wasn't cost-cutting by Hasbro, but by Destro! I got the Stinger and ASP in a two-pack, probably a Canadian exclusive.

Just enjoying a "vintage" review during the lockdown. Don't know if you read old comments, but have you ever considered doing a legacy video on particular vehicles? Much like this review, but with less emphasis on the figures, if any, and instead the uses of the mold or evolution of the name over time? I know you're not a "modern" collector per se, but all the vehicles work pretty well with the classic Joes except for the foot pegs. An episode on the HiSS legacy or VAMP legacy, or FANG? Maybe the multiple uses of the MOBAT mold and where/when the tow hitch disappeared?! Thanks again!

Thank you! Yeah, I could kinda see the Stinger Driver as a higher-ranking officer. Maybe he should be freed from the Stinger. Instead of being behind the wheel, he should be leading the troops.

@rtd1409 6 жыл бұрын

I kind of think since this was at a very early point in the line no real Cobra Rank and file structure had been established for the uniform Officers and Soldiers so they kind of played around with it as things went on. Thats always been the thing for me is that we had endless legions of Eels, Crimson Guards, Vipers, and specialized Vipers but no really defined structure of command or rank insignia to reflect different levels of command and rank. Perhaps some sticker sheets with stripes you could self apply would have been a cool idea but as we know never happened. I really "Dig" the vibe you catch onto especially with the early part of the line with the Joe team in mostly Green vehicles and Cobra in Black and Blue schemes. Have a great holiday season and yeah man keep the fun coming! All the best to your family as well for their participation in your work for us all here.

Hasbro trodde antagligen inte att föräldrar skulle köpa multi-pack i den bemärkelsen. Men jag håller helt klart med dig att det vore en bra ide. Om inte annat så skulle iallafall jag gärna se att Hasbro börjat prångla ut licensierade reissues av populära figurer med ny stämpel. Precis som Kenner gjorde 1995 med de viktigaste huvudkaraktärerna från Star Wars i samma gjutning som originalen från 77.

Hey HCC, what would you think of Hasbro making reissues of vintage-style GI Joes such as popular/important characters and army-builders that look exactly like the originals that we love except for a new stamp? Much like Kenners re-release of the main characters from the vintage Star Wars-line! And what´s your feelings on "custom" figures like the ones by Black Major and now Red Laser? Personally I´ve got a few and I like them very much. Also I find that they are a great and interesting addition to my very large GI Joe collection.

If they were exact replica, I would think it might have an impact on the 'collectors market'. But I don't even know if companies were aware of that at the time or even care today.

This is one place where Tiger Force didn't make a whole lot of sense. The name "Tiger Sting" suggests it is a captured Stinger. But it clearly is NOT a Stinger since it has the Vamp II's missile box. And why would they bother to capture a Stinger, since the Stinger is just a copy of one of their own vehicles anyway? They did repaint some Joe vehicles for Tiger Force, like the Dragonfly.

@sparkster1701 6 жыл бұрын

I did look at the blueprints, thanks to YOJOE.com, and saw that the missiles for both the VAMP Mk II and the Tiger Sting are both Stinger missiles. Maybe that's the name's origin... Anyway, nice to see I sparked a small debate.

I'm aware I should *respect* those who've posted comments that they *like* these vehicles and drivers, but I'm not a fan of them (unlike 1983's Hiss Drivers and Viper Pilots), since they're one of the four 1982-86 characters who never appeared in the 80s Sunbow cartoon. It's possible that, after Hasbro released the Hiss Drivers and Viper Pilots, in 1983 (especially merely one year after then), they thought they didn't want too much association with any *more* of these nameless Cobra drivers, hence the Stinger Drivers were left out of the cartoon.
