I think a haslab has to have some sort of play factor to it and the APC would be cool for storage and to display a bunch of figures, but that would be about it. A tank or some snow cat configuration has that play factor. I would choose a grizzly as a haslab, but who knows what direction they might go, we are still in the midst of the current haslab

Granted, arctic stuff probably sells less than other colorways, but the Snow Cat is quite unique to the brand and very prevalent in a lot of the cartoons.

For Joe planes, I'd prefer a Conquest to a Skystriker. Yes, there's more longevity and exposure for the Skystriker, but a Classified one would be too large and not very playable. A Conquest is unique to the brand and did have some cartoon representation. And it's more manageable sizewise.

For those saying, something non-Haslab won't work. We just don't know this. We have people proclaim they're selling their collection, because they couldn't get OAMCC. We have people swearing they won't support a Rattler, which ends up funding in only a day. There's all kinds of histrionics with Joe (and other brand) fans. The Classified line is bringing in all kinds of old and new fans. Not everyone favors only 82-87. I think it would be interesting to see something new or an amalgamation. If a project looks cool and has some interesting tiers, it's very possible it would still succeed.

Stumbled upon this repaint from years back. A green Snow Cat renamed the HAVOC 2. Kinda interesting. I'm not saying this is what they should make, but I think it looks cool. Imagine some of the green parts are also available in white as a tier. Could be cool way to get people to buy multiples. And gets over the (Snow) CAT is only for arctic play.

Yep snow cat like this would work

I NEED the Haslab 2025 to be the HAVOC. I am also requiring that Hasbro acknowledges the lore of Chuckles and the shared missile.


Chuckles > any other missile launcher

Depends on if you have cat or not ?.. LMFAO

I second that notion retro chuckles should/need/better come with 1 single havoc missile . And have that be the card art of him running with it over his head lets change it around if we want retro figs to look like sunbow i want an animated card like they did with the original non articulated figures from the genndy tartakovsky clone wars anime .. i enjoyed that packaging way more than the figures

Well, if Snowcat is a Haslab too, then pretty much all the vehicles like Havoc and APC will become Haslabs.


And yeah, Chuckles chucking missiles would probably become a Havoc
Haslab tier.

I see no down side with your response.

I don't see why vehicles have to keep scale relative to their ARAH sizes.

It's not impossible to think Snow Cat could be the size of the VAMP/Stinger and retail for $100. In fact, it seems more likely some vehicles will change their scale in order to (a) hit consumer pricepoints and (b) aid consumers who are thinking "I don't have space for all this."

I concur

Now that the VAMP was a bonafide homerun - do you think they will push out more vehicles in faster succession in the next couple years? Or will they milk it - and stretch the line perpetually? With the reasonable non-HasLab vehicles - how many do you think we'll get?

Dreadnok Cycle, Destro's Despoiler, Fang, Polar Battle Bear - $55ish price point?

Skyhawk, Firebat, Armadillo, Sharc, Devilfish- $75ish price point?

Havoc, ,Cobra Stun, Awe Striker, Snow Cat, Thunder Machine, Cobra Wolf - $100ish price point?

Mamba, Conquest X-30 - $150ish price point?
