The more I see the current Classified lineup the more I truly believe that those who crowdfunded the H.I.S.S. and Dragonfly are going to do a double take as I'm calling it now, there will be retail versions of both.... be it maybe without all the bells and whistles but I really am seeing the writing on the walls, and so should every one of you.
So, why do I think this is going to happen? what magic 8 ball did I get this answer from? Simple ... Hasbro it all but teasing it. You have two main sub group store exclusive teams, and both of those teams will get these crowdfunded vehicles as repaints!!! Don't say I didn't call it, and don't be shocked when it happens, cause its coming! A Python Patrol H.I.S.S. and a Tiger-Fly helicopter both with exclusive new drivers, in their proper sub group attire. I'll even go as far as that you'll also get the Tiger Sting after the V.A.M.P gets released. Calling it guys.. It's an inevitability, Hasbro will get milage out of those molds.

So you're telling us that Hasbro uses the same molds "again and again, and again, and again, and again and again, and again, and again, and AGAIN!," like the title of that Alice in Chains classic? Fascinating.

Yeah, I'm not sure this should be any real surprise to anybody whose been paying attention since the HISS HasLab. Didn't Lenny and Emily even say it was certainly a possibility at SDCC last year (or the PulseCon Q&A)?

A "rerelease" certainly won't come with the electronics, 4 figures, or come in the iconic black with the 788. I am really curious to see how a rerelease would handle the treads. Ther was an interesting tidbit from an interview that seems to have not gotten much traction here about the dragonfly (and flying vehicles in general) being cheaper to do than tanks because of treads being expensive. Would we see a more classic style molded tread piece?

Wow, this is some hot take.
But then again, taking into account this is tkprime and his track record at "predicting" what's happening with Corps, it's now a certainty we will never see new versions of the Hiss tank and Dragonfly. I'll await word from Hong Kong Toy Fair ... |

Sounds like a great idea to me. I wasn’t funding for exclusivity. I wanted a HISS and a Dragonfly. If they come out with repaints, it’s all good.
Not that I could fit additional vehicles anywhere.

A “retro” HISS Tank is definitely going to be made.
Once the retro card figures are being done we will for sure see a retro boxed vehicle. |
