I'll totally bite on a Moray or WHALE.

Yeah, I debated, but really liked how that gridiron mortar looked hehe

You can easily finagle the Snowcat to be as agile as the HISS, especially since as I said before you had the Tiger Force one for jungles, deserts, whatever they operated in.

That's an interesting question. I always pictured the Tiger Force team to be in the jungle, but Dusty is part of that team (amongst others I wouldn't consider jungle-based, so, where exactly do they operate?

Oddly enough, there's a Tiger Force Snow Cat
called the Tiger Cat.

Unpopular opinion, but even back in the 1980s, I was never a fan of the F14 Tomcat. I had models of the F15, F16, SR71, and the F17. I would be willing to see them take a risk with a modern take, F22 or F35

Yeah, my wife and I were just talking about this. Back at SDCC, the Hasbro team's job is to roam around the booth and just talk to everybody. So they like to talk to fans about everything and I think they understand there are fans that like to play with their toys and there are fans that like to display it in a pristine glass case. I sold one of my Hisstanks to a guy who said he was going to take it outside with his son so they could roll it around the yard. I think the marketing guys hear stories like this all the time and probably love the fact that the legacy is being passed down to a younger generation

Serious question, do you watch any of the videos they do on the vehicles/HasLabs? You probably should.

Late to the party today, but trying to understand how the Skystriker being 4 Dragonflies wide is only "slightly bigger". I'll give the benefit of the doubt and say it's only 3 dragonflies wide with the wings closed.



Not sure if it's just my eyes or what, but I dunno how anyone could look at all those vehicles and think the Skystriker is only slightly bigger at 1/12 scale. It's significantly longer and wider than even the Rattler which LOTS of people are already nervous about being too big to display.



If the next Haslab is another aircraft that holds two characters but takes up the space of a bedroom dresser, I'm out. It doesn't matter how cool that thing is, I'm out.

All I know is that if they do three straight aircraft HasLabs, I am jumping off a cliff. Ha.
