Have the next HasLab truly be Joe vs Cobra. Two different Haslabs one would have let’s say Snow Cat, Shark, and Sky Hawk and the Cobra Haslab would have Firebat, Thunder Machine, and Water Moccasin. And which ever HasLab sold the most a Special figure of that faction would be made.

Or have Joe Snow Cat vs Cobra Wolf and the special figures would be Duke or CC in snow gear

I imagine if the Marvel Legends Dragon-Man which will apparently be made on a made-to-order basis does well, we could see that happen with something in the Joe brand. I figure that will run $150 based on how big he is and all the scale detail and two sets of wings, etc.

They could easily do that with something bigger than a VAMP but maybe not quite there in terms of their internal Haslab threshold.

But you're failing to acknowledge a very real fact about the HasLabs. They all pass that "squint test" I keep bringing up, that Lenny mentions time and again, that you keep ignoring. While updated, it's pretty damn obvious what all three are.

I like all the small updates they gave the other Haslabs and yet when you look at the vehicles you still know exactly what it is.

I'm also a fan of the OG-13 members we've got so far (even Rock N Roll's tattoos). They've all been updated nicely with maybe the slight exception being Breaker (he just really needs some gear). I'm not a purist by any stretch of the imagination..but when you look at something you should know what it's supposed to be.

I actually wonder if the Conquest might be a better fit for Haslab. Skystriker is more iconic, but Conquest might be a better match size-wise. While it's one pilot, it would be a good opportunity for ground crew for the tiers.

Some of this as well ,
Breaker in terms of gear is horrible no backpack or sat phone or nothing just that helmet, no sidearm or weapon in sight ,i kind of want him pretty badly in dark grey, and i want a new character .

The range viper officer , yep i do anyone ..

The VS idea means the loosing faction Figure WOULD NOT GET MADE
& I be that would have people screaming and crying and whaling.

Also Duke doesn't need to be a Haslab figure unless it is VERY VERY thematically appropriate & there isn't someone better suited for that slot.

As they are going to make additional Duke's regardless just like they are going to make additional Snake Eyes.

One could argue that Flightsuit Baroness was a stretch.. but I will allow it as it is "Thematically appropriate" and narratively appropriate to include her. Even if i'd rather they'd saved her in a Wetsuit for the Moray Hydrofoil.

Which I think will need a lot or repeated begging to get made. as they really are shy of boats.
