I'm sure I don't have any pilots, but I probably have a later ME Joe I can send your way if I dig a bit. Feel free to send your addy my way.

So....
Since the peg broke on the seat, would you be willing to do a little testing with some photos for us ME collectors? If you have them, would you take some pics of how well ME Ace and/or other ME figures (preferably pilots) fit inside the cockpit? That would help out a lot of fans thinking of customizing this. Jason Maybe some of the later sculpts with a narrower crotch would fit better as they could sit a hair lower, but I had these two handy in the Flagg's briefing room. Ah, that makes sense thanks. I kind of wish we'd gotten a clear canopy alternative vs the 2 tinted canopies, but it was a nice thought. Last edited by Dake; 01-30-2023 at 12:22 PM.. |

Late last night I pulled out the Skystriker and its various contents in order to start the process of processing this 'beast' of a nostalgia bomb. Wow... so SO many great things about this set. Anyone else tickled beyond words that two of the boxes convert into landing strip? Obviously there is so much here to take in that calling out something simple like that seems to short the praises deserved by everything else, but as the saying goes sometimes it's the little things.
This set is blowing my mind! I had the OG as a kid and as we grew up quite poor it was a huge deal that my family bought me a vehicle of this size/scale, and it's hitting all of the right beats but takes everything up a clear 15 notches. The blast/firing effects, the stand, the gas/munitions truck, so many figures, multi-faction stickers... it's SO MUCH (in a good way)!!! Frankly I'll be taking this offering in for days, but it makes me really excited and hopeful that the next Haslab will be o ring instead of yet another Classified vehicle. Frankly I don't have the space for a handful of Classified vehicles and really this scale is ideal for larger vehicles, packed to the gills with add-ons and accessories, etc. Lenny & Emily if you're reading the comments in this thread. I realize that the environment at Hasbro must be a tense one right now and as someone who's had the Sword of Damocles over their head more than a few times even at my current employer, I totally feel for you. That said, take heart in the knowledge that you've crafted something really special with this Haslab Skystriker offering. You've made this old Joe fan really, REALLY happy and that's something that you can't put a price to. Bravo guys.... to each and everyone involved with this set... bravo.

This is a great point and I'm glad someone brought this up. The fact that they thought to tampo on rounded surfaces (notoriously difficult for getting stickers to adhere to) or areas where panels are meant to come off, speaks to a desire to make the experience of owning and actually 'playing' with this jet fun and stress free. My OCD mind always has problems with stickers on a rounded missile that start to lift up almost immediately! If I were a kid opening this jet for the first time- rather than a 50 year old man- I'm pretty sure it would eventually be coming with me to college and even on my honeymoon!!

Hmmm. I wonder if the grey-black Silent Strike Skystriker would look good with the HasLab Cobra decals (that I'm not putting on my HasLab jet)?

These muthafuckas "be doin," too much. Tony blocked me from his channel and used my real name on the comments when I said that I was trippin' off of the fact that muthafuckas had their Wave 2 Action Force figures when I had yet to receive my Wave 1 Action Force from B.B.T.S.
B.V. got in his feelings when I said he was a Republican. As if his party affiliation was going to fuck up his sales. Now I get this response to a picture I posted on FB from Michael French. This is the picture. Bitchassness and effeminate behavior is a persistent problem in Western male society in 2023.
