I mean even with the wings being somewhat short, that's still alot of plastic that's not present on the dragonfly.

The rotors on the Dragonfly look longer than the Rattler strictly eyeballing. I?m sure Hasbro has a measurement that I?m too lazy to find. The shelf profile of the rattler and the dragonfly is identical. If you fold the Rsttler?s wings it takes up less space than the Dragonfly.

Saw on social media SDCC has opened up the floodgates with no pass required to get into Hasbro. If you are out there, may be an opportunity to get anything you missed earlier.

Hope that any Tankers out in SD had a good time. Always enjoyed going there for work.

The Rattler with its wings folded is both taller and wider than the dragonfly if Hasbro's own specs are to be trusted. It is only shorter by half an inch. It will not take up less space.

Lenny said anyone is possible, though it requires more planning and obviously legal logistics like licensing rights and royalties and such to make guys like that possible.


- Regarding Road Pig's physique, I know Road Pig looked ripped in some of his comic appearances and his ME figure, but the guy has the word "pig" in his codename lol But besides that, his original card art and other promo art when he was new (Cobra accessory pack, the motorized pack, the GI Joe Magazine cover, etc.) depicted him as being big, but also not pure muscle and he looked more like an NFL offensive lineman, big WWF wrestler or an olympic powerlifter or strongman like others are saying. His original figure was very muscular and really big and beefy, bit he wasn't ripped like some figures were (Raptor and Big Boa and Steam-Roller were actually ripped).







This is what I plan on doing too. If he is impossible to get on Pulse, to ebay I go lol

They were also handing out Fridge stickers after the panel. I think it?s their way of hinting it?s a done deal.

The Rattler :

Nose to tail, our Cobra Rattler measures 33.53” (851.78MM) long, over 2 and half feet. Wheels down, it stands 9.88” (250.9MM) tall with a wingspan of 32.04” (357.71MM) wide.

Hiss Tank : 19.6 x 11.5 inches in dimension

SECRET LIGHTS MODE
A little secret not mentioned in the manual, when you hold down the switch for the electronics for more than two seconds, the unit goes into “Display Mode”. All of the lights on the tank will automatically turn on and off every few seconds for 10 minutes (or until you choose to press the button again to deactivate it)! Pretty cool discovery by fans on the internet. (c/o : https://bravefortress.com/gallery/ha...bra-hiss-tank/)

I ronically mine randomly decided to do this on its own a while ago as the button had got bumped by the chin gun... I thought it was having some kind of seizure but now I know what was happening

Interestingly I had to get these dimensions of the legacy web page as the new one doesn't include them anymore for the Dragonfly:

This two-seat Assault Copter offering represents the pinnacle of G.I. Joe’s anti-armor technology. It’s a massive 34.09 inches/865.79 MM long from the tip of the front turret barrel to tail, 11.33 inches/287.92 MM tall from skids to rotor, and 13.77 inches/349.76 MM wide wing tip to wing tip.

I need clarification.

They were handing out William “The Refrigerator” Perry G.I. Joe stickers?

That is big (and thrilling) news if true.

I hope they give us a days warning before putting up the SDCC stuff. Won't have time to check my email every 5 minutes this week.

Haslab photos show the sigil on the right arm. Not sure I saw it in any of the SDCC pics.

So is anyone else bothered by the whole Cobra Airborne thing? Not to get too technical, but airborne are ground forces delivered by aircraft. The aircraft are part of the air force. I feel like that's a pretty universal concept for militaries around the world.
