25th HISS' go for sod all on ebay, Ross. And they are practically the same as the originals bar the cockpit detail and pegs.

Nope, near identical. The only 3 differences are the turret is strong on the 25th, there is also cockpit detailing on the 25th and the foot peg sixes are smaller. I much prefer the original Hyena over the newer molds

That's the same body as the original (84?) Hyena.

I've got a couple of Arctic HISS's here Ross, awaiting conversion to be Arctic Hyena's, but they are a really nice bit of kit, and pretty cheap to get hold of, so I'd have thought you'd have no worries. Have you tried PM'ing Jimbob as I think he has some for sale through his 80's Kid toy store. I'm sure he'd open them to send to you to keep costs down or something?

I've got 3 Black 25th HISS's but I'm back on a waiting list for the Arctic Ones. Should have 4 of them plus some 25th Stingers by mid November.
I'm sure I've seen a red 25th HISS somewhere. I think it was Target or a TRU exclusive.
