Mauler with Heavy Metal, Steeler, Tollbooth, and Back Stop (why not) would be an amazing Haslab for 2025. If the patches which have been (nearly) universally panned portend the Mauler that almost makes them worth it. Who am I kidding, we need a fourth figure with the Rattler.

I wonder what the fastest funded Haslab is so far overall? I know there are statistics out there. It looks like the Rattler may complete funding today which is 1 day after launch..

Comparing it to other GI Joe Haslabs and their 1 day backer counts (via geekdadlife.com charts)

HISS - 9479 day 1 backers
Dragonfly - 8612 day 1 backers

If a figure is a new look or a retro look doesn't bother me at all. However, IMHO, all figures should come on the retro cards. It's what GI Joe did basically their entire o-ring run. I get that it costs more but it looks SO much better than the boring boxes.

I'm warming up to Raptor a lot more now. Still not 100% sold on the jetpack mech wings, but I'll wait to have him in hand before making final judgement. I admit, I'm becoming more receptive of the feathers and metal fusion the Classified design has.

He's not one of my most-wanted, but I think he'd be fun and still hope we eventually get him too.

I don't think they could get it in at that price point. As I mentioned, the Bridge Layer was essential to Joe missions in my youth. The Ramen toys Hunter tank with Bridge layer and Wolverine missile battery attachments is very enticing.

I always liked that Tollbooth came with a sledgehammer. I remember having him hammer the bad guys with it ....

This is a waste because so many people open figures. Increase the price across tje board for a certain demographic within the collecting community sounds bad to me

We'd have to compare the time of day they each went live, too. The Rattler campaign did just launch with zero fanfare a few hours ahead of the stream where they actually announced it.

and I LOVE the idea of getting Heavy Metal, Steeler, Tollbooth and Backstop with a Mauler Named characters who'd otherwise not get done are key for me.

The Rattler is 1500 from tier 1. Will fund by day 1 end for sure.
