Tomahawk is much bigger that a HISS, it had the capacity to hold up to 7 figures, pilot, co-pilot and up to 5 in the rear, with a loading and unloading ramp, side door guns, missile pods and massive twin rotors, plus hook and front chin gun, feels like that would require far more that $600, unless the only figure they include is Lift Ticket
Most of the things you describe aren't hugely costly ventures in and of themselves. Just because the rotors are big doesn't mean they add $100 to the cost. Lemme put it this way: Jabba's Sail Barge for the Vintage Collection was $500 a few years ago. There's no way in heck a Classified Tomahawk is getting even close to that size and amount of features short of actually scaling a Chinook to 1:12 scale. There's no licensing fee tax on Joe, and so I'd say my $500-$600 estimate is pretty solid accounting for price increases across the board (on darn near everything, not just Hasbro toys). |

I do wonder what the blade span would be on a Classified Tomahawk. You would need a decent sized display area to showcase it with blades extended.

Call me biased but I would rather get a Dragonfly just to see how well they could do Wild Bill and Airborne in Classified scale.

Please not a MOBAT. It's way too boring.
My vote is for some sort of aircraft. A Tomahawk would be a monster, I think you could get it down to the size of the Razor Crest. A Dragonfly would be amazing. The most iconic Joe Vehicle is the Vamp. But yeah, I can't think of a "Slam Dunk" Joe vehicle.

They have got to stay more on the ball with updating the Haslab page. Social media posts are great and all. But not everyone sees those. Unlock #3 still isn't on the page yet. It's probably causing some confusion. Someone hears about the HISS Gunner, goes to the site and there is nothing there about it. That might keep them backing.
I have no doubts we're going to get all of the unlocks, I guess I'm just impatient and want to see what #4 is lol. |

I've said this in HasLab wishlist threads before. I think the Hasbro team could get really creative and design a modular GI Joe PIT/ Star Wars Death Star playset all in one. A few swappable wall panels and different label sheets and viola! An item that appeals to both collectible communities would sell like gangbusters depending on the size and price point of course.

This stuff isn't automated and I see 0 reason for people to just randomly be on call for this type of thing. Additionally with 41 days to go.....I think they have some time to update the page. The Reva Lightsaber is where you got some serious momentum problems. Galactus was touch and go there due to needing to hit 14k and didn't do so until it's last week. With 41 days and needing less than 570 backers for Tier 3. I think their momentum is fine so far. Momentum doesn't need to be record breaking high, especially when it's subject to paydays and bigger reveals. |

So I guess that HISS Gunner lady can easily be converted later for reuse into Munitia.

Would love the Dragonfly but I think it would also be cool to bring it up to date and have it be the Bell 360 Invictus FARA instead of an AH-1 Cobra which has been retired since 2001. Still call it the dragon fly and give it all it's markings since the Invictus is most likely going to be the attack helicopter that will replace the AH-64 Apache. I can imagine an amazing HasLab version of this that has a light up instrument display with two modes, day time and night ops. I spot light that projects downward. Add the cool tow cable the original Firefly had.
Ilove the idea of using this as an updated Dragonfly! But if Haslab was gonna do a somewhat smaller item overall like an updated Dragonfly compared to the girth of this HISS as a HasLAB project then I would like them to do an updated chopper for both sides an call it the Airborne Battalion Battle Set or somethin like that. Dragonfly update and Fang Update. That way we could troop build both sides in one. The fact that we are troop building only the Cobra faction with this rather pricy fundraiser is my only issue with the HISS HasLAB so far. I mean just image if they repeated the Cobra takeover and the HISS came with a updated Gijoe takeover Armadillo mini tank as stretch Goal #4!! Now that would get me buying more!!! I will ALWAYS say yes to more vehicles! [waves $$$] Last edited by Cobra BAT 687; 07-05-2022 at 12:03 PM.. |
