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 . . . . .

Who is this idiot executive that doesn't recognize what a Crowdfund is, and the history of his/her own brand's success being rooted in...wait for it...playsets?!

This is the reason Hollywood continues to put out pointless sequels and derivations. No creative, risk taking imagination based in data by those making the funding decisions

I would find it odd Hasbro doesn't have an interest in playsets when they own Star Wars and continue to pump out playsets to this day.

Now a 6" scale aversion to playsets might make sense just given how large this stuff is (seriously, try an Extreme Pop Up Diorama - they're MASSIVE).

The HISS Tank isn't a tank like the MOBAT or MAULER, but yet it also is because of than name.

If they ever did a rerelease of the HISS, I wouldn't mind it with the replace the gunner spot with a more traditional tank cannon. Like we saw in the Retaliation movie and toyline:

Strange that they cut an entirely new tool to make a simple version for the movie when the far more detailed version was already made. I’mpretty sure the cut a new tool for the dumbed down version of the Water Moccasin, ignoring the superior 25th version.

I can see any playset they try to do for 6" Gi Joe failing.
It does seems much more suited to O-ring but after the Skystriker didn't fully unlock I think the Haslabs are going to be 6" related for quite some time now.

We have enough suitable Iconic vehicles to fill out the slots into the next decade as it is.

It was one of the few vehicles I had as a kid. I think I got it on clearance at a Hills store after Christmas.

Sadly, when I was in my dark ages... I sold my original on ebay :(

I'm afraid I'd have to agree, I'm sure it looked cool to some, but to me it looks straight up ridiculous, and I don't think there's enough of a market for a HasLab -- who knows though you might get lucky for a non-HasLab someday.

How many haslabs will hasbro make? I think they will definitely do 1 land sea and air for each cobra and joe.

My guesses are they round out with mauler/mobat, and then moray and whale. That brings them up to 6 and the year 2027 if they release 1 per year. I just think these are the most iconic. I guess if the line goes until 2030 they can add others anyway it’s all speculation.

The early Retaliation waves were definitely an interesting experiment

I still really like the Cobra Commander that came with the HISS:



Hot take is that it's a better Battle Armor Cobra Commander than the classic design because you still have the faceplate element that is distinctly Cobra Commander

That sounds about right, although the sea vehicles will need some heavy duty downscaling.

If they do those 6 I'll be done since I don't even have room for them now, but they're the only ones I'd really want.
