I guess it makes sense, as the thread hasn't really covered any news or rumors. Just me banging the "ME WANT CLASSIFIED VEHICLES!" drum lol

Innnnnnteresting...if it fits Classified figures, I'm getting it, & repainting it.

For classified, given the size constraints, I would like to see vehicles that can act as "diorama display pieces" that the figures can pose around.

Some version of the VAMP and HAL, MMS or other towable artillery piece seems to most fit that bill.

The night landing zodiac boat would also be nice and the mold could be reused outside the joe line since it's pretty generic.

I could envision them doing something like an ammo dump with crates, pelican cases and rifle racks with an expectation that collectors would buy several of them.

Buzz Lightyear may have another aircraft to fit the Joes.
Entertainment Earth states that the Armadillo 5 inch drop ship will be available in July.

Gave it a wing based on a Raptor.



Also, was surprised to see the Halo Mantis, that was discussed in this thread back in November, at Ross for $29.

Currently Target has it on sale for $19.

That Mantis does pair well with Classified figures. I'd have to try to paint it though, to match a Joe or COBRA aesthetic more.

Welp, it happened, Hasbro made their first Classified Haslab the H.I.S.S., like myself & many others thought (also feared?) they would.

Imho, the renders look amazing, & the prototype looked great for what it was. The features are well more than what I thought it would have.

I haven't backed it, yet, for multiple reasons, but I wont get into that, here. Suffice it to say that despite my reservations with the whole Haslab concept, I WILL be backing it sometime in the next 47 days.

What are everyone's thoughts on the vehicle itself?
