When we get the rattler my ground crew is going to be built around that gunner , i wont have him in the rattler ever i want WW and somebody else not sure who . Pilot Baroness will be for posing not flying .

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.

Ive wanted boats since there was a ram/coil introduced give me a hydrofoil ,devilfish sharc/whale/cobra night landing , stalker ver 2 w/kayak maybe make a cobra version as well with some green range vipers or maybe the jungle or night viper . bring on all the vehicles

The conquest would be great you could make it a 2 seater as well otherwise it would have to come with ground crew & service equipment & tools ..

I think if they are going to push the Vehicle size classes for retail then the Conquest X-30 is a very good choice, it is small enough to be swooshable and also has a bucket load of repaints.

I think also the best looking one is The Python Patrol one
But the customs out there show how nice it would look as Tiger Force too : https://www.flickr.com/photos/71498619@N07/8608103163/
(not my picture).

So for that reason I don't want the X-30 to be a Haslab as the Python Patrol repaint is to me "?essential" & making it haslab drags that corpse down the road for many years...

So yeah make bigger vehicles as Hasbro Pulse Exclusives where they have a tone of retail and farm us all with easy repaints for years "easy".

or make it a Haslab when there is plenty of aircraft that don't have such a hight a repaint potential that could be done as Haslabs instead.

Like the Night Raven (other than the Sky Patrol one), Mamba, Phantom X-19 (way to big anyway),Condor Z-25, Crusader Space Shuttle (maybe), Hurricane VTOL, Retaliator Helicopter, Ghoststriker X-16, Liquidator, Storm Eagle, Destro's Dominator, or The Rhino (if that counts).
Though it does have 2 decos and both are nice :

The Stellar Stiletto should be fine as a normal release though.

So do we think any Haslab basically has to be a vehicle before '87? There isn't really anything THAT iconic from '87 on vehicle-wise to fund a Haslab right?

I mean - they could make a wetsuit Baroness too for a Moray. It's Baroness. She fits thematically everywhere.

I wouldnt mind the mudfighter its so ugly/cool it would look great with the classified treatment give it a slightly different windscreen/canopy add a bigger on the chin and leave the cluster bombs , i even like the color ..

An updated MOBAT or Mauler could pass the squint test if you keep enough of the core design ideas there from the original toy.

VAMP MkII confirmed! I say this tongue-firmly-in-cheek, but we all know it is coming soon, right?
