I'd like to see the Iron Grenadier D.E.M.O.N. and the Red Shadow Roboskull, but those are pretty unlikely. At least anytime remotely soon.

The only way I think a green Mauler funds is if it's primarily a MOBAT yet contains swappy parts in the base offering that make it resemble a Mauler.

Joe fans also haven't had the chance to back a Haslab yet that's different. We don't know if it would be unsuccessful. I think a good tank will do well regardless.

I think your best bet for the Roboskull is just to back the Skeletron one.

I thought it was a unique thing that happened to me
so I didn't post anything about it.

I take it you got charged? I made a couple cancellations yesterday and hope they don't ship.

Since no one asked, here's my list of Joe ONLY vehicles I would want before a Mauler and/or MOBAT:

1. HAVOC
2. Set of 3 Pac Rats
3. Bridge Layer
4.Skyhawk
5. Mobile Battle Bunker
6. Wolverine
7. LCV Recon Sled
8. Triple T
9. APC
10. AWE Striker
11. SHARC
12. Battle Wagon

Might as well put up my list of vehicles too!

1. BUGG
2. Moray
3. Water Moccasin
4. Night Raven
5. Whale
6. Wolf

I would pay $500 for a classified BUGG!

Unfortunately play sets are off the table.
Even Dioramass are hard to get approved.


The scuttle butt rumors really do check out from what we can see that
someone in the company really hates play sets.


It's so bad you can see the Playset aversion trickle down
to products competing against Imaginext, a Playset focused
toyline by Mattel . . . . .

Maybe the proper place for a Mauler is simply as a fairly hollow vehicle that seats a few figures at a <$200 price point without being a Haslab.

Hell, like that, you could probably make a tan Mauler and then later release it with a new Equalizer top in camo colors for something for the Slaughters Marauders to use.

I get having TOP quality but honestly the Max Factory Figma and Plamax tanks are perfectly serviceable, especially if that kind of manufacturing makes it under $200.

The only reasonable conclusion I can jump to is that I need to hurry and cancel my orders so they ship before Pulse cancels them due to insufficient stock caused by fulfilling cancelled orders.
