Had some time to soak it all in. My only nitpicks are Wild Weasel’s helmet and the Twilight Guard. Wish Wild Weasel’s helmet was more “retro” shaped. He should have his own unique helmet. Wish the Twilight Guard was a straight CG repaint.

All I wanted to see were Zandar and Road Pig, thrilled with their results. Kind of bummed we didn't get an Aligator Alley shield like the 30th incarnation but otherwise I'm itching to preorder tonight.

(As I only collect Dreadnoks per agreement with the wife, I'm waiting for the next few names. Besides the original run I really hope they dive into all lines/Media, Burn-Out and Machete are the long shots).

Not for me but wow the Halo trooper looks great.

Retro Mindbender gives me hope for retro Chuckles.
Heavy Duty, I hope they don't turn him into a Roadblock clone again

I've thought a redone MOBAT with Steeler, Zap, Short Fuse and Grand Slam (repainted as Flash for mainline) tank crew would be the next ideal HasLab, but a Mauler with those or even Thunder as an alternate tier would be great too!

Wonder why it takes 3 days to transfer money from a savings account to a checking account between 2 different banks? Aside from wanting extra money to do it right away. Maybe that's the only reason...

Still trying to decide how many Rattlers to get. I usually get extras and sell off a few to pay for what I keep, but it may not be as profitable with only 3 figures and 3 patches.

I don't want to get too melodramatic here, but yesterday's launch was horrible in execution. Pretty much the worst way to go about it. It honestly might have been a test to see how it would do if they totally sandbagged the debut.

I think they were scrambling yesterday. The Once a Man CC product page was up on Pulse for like 3 hours as "coming soon", but then they took it down and didn't even mention the figure at all during the reveal stream so clearly that was some kind of big mistake.

They laid a lot of people off since the last one of these too. It's possible there were just fewer people to cover all of the work or that the people who are doing the back-end work are now also doing a lot of other things too.

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

The HISS tank holds the overall HasLab record for being funded in, I believe, 9 hours. It also needed 1000 less backers.
