It's all speculation of course.. but I think it's easily doable in theory.

If I can get that thing close to the wall on top of a bookcase.. that sort of solves my space issue until the next big thing comes up. Being able to fold the wings would help that tremendously.

I agree. If they wanted to do it, it wouldn't be very difficult to do. The Rattler rotated the wings at the body which I am sure they are going to keep in the Haslab. Adding a folding wing, just outside the engines is very doable. I just hope Hasbro is listening about the concerns of displaying this beast and have a solution in mind.

The bonus question is, do I now cancel the ones I ordered from Pulse? Or wait because Walmart is an unreliable shipper??

Just wait and see if walmart ships. If they do, cancel the pulse orders, and if they don't, don't cancel them

It?s gi joe they can easily do that and it still would not even be in the top 30 most ridiculous gi joe vehicles there were. It?s fantasy, if it allows people to display better the other make a good point on why this might be a good idea?

I guess I would rather have them fold than rotate, but like I said, it's a longshot that they'll do that.

They probably could but imagine everything that comes with a Rattler, numerous missiles and bombs, a rotating rear gunner position, the front mounted gatling gun, its alot to expect Hasbro to engineer not only rotating wings but then to add folding wings with all the ordance a Rattler carries and keep it at the $300 price point we assume it will have

It's two hinges.. that's it.

I did not. But she looked fantastic in the promos. Happy to hear she does in hand. I wanted the big 4 and planned on that being it. But I'm a crazy sucker for Scareglow, who's my fave MOTU character design. I may be in on him. Especially with the wild sculpted skeleton. Don't know about that yet. I'm not getting Scaremare. Can you beleive that thing has a 4 foot wingspan?

Not that I know of. The IG announcement yesterday read the official reveal will be the Thursday 25th. Hasbro's panel is usually Saturday. That's good hype time. It would be AWESOME to get a proto during that.

I got He-Man and Battlecat and had QC issues with both, Mondo was kind enough to send me replacement parts though. Got Skeletor but skipped Panthor. Told myself that was going to be it but I couldn't say no to Teela. Scareglow isn't really my thing but I would love it if they did a 5-6" version with the interior glowing skeleton.
