A Classified WHALE would be huge. It's essentially the largest item they'd make. I feel a Classified Skystriker would be too large to be useful. But a Classified WHALE, while also being huge, would have more functionality and ability to interact with a number of figures and other vehicles. It would also likely be $600. So yeah...I don't think we're getting it any time soon. Maybe they can lose the little scout sled which shoots out of it. Would its loss bother anyone?

The sled could be a tier, coming after patches.

I was thinking the wheels for the minibike would be second tier right after patches and then a tier for the part that makes the blades turn .

Im down with that lore ..

Here's a Devilfish and a Vamp base. Bonus HAVOC hovercraft.




I also found a Devilfish with a Stinger, Snowcat and Ferret. These really do help to give an idea of how big things will be scaled up to Classified. I've even more convinced that the HAVOC should be the next Haslab. Hasbro will only be able to properly acknowledge the legend of Chuckles by including him in a HasLab HAVOC.

Don t know if anyone has already posted it, if so, I m sorry, but I was checking the Haslab Rattler images @ Pulse, and just saw that there is a Mauler at the cockpit display. Spoiler?

Maybe, but the A-10 (which the rattler is based on) is meant for attacking tanks and other armored ground vehicles.

Good enough sir
Thank you i have a great visual memory but am rusty on some things. I remembered or thought that the dfish was almost as long as the vamp not as wide but as long , and i knew the drone from the night raven was about the same size as well as the sharc but damn the ferret was huge compared to the og vamp/stinger and the awestriker isnt much smaller than the vamp but the thunder machine is a little longer than the vamp such weird sizes they had, its been 7-8 years since i sold all my 4? joes so its weird to see all of that stuff i had when i was young .

Thanks again for posing them and the pics

I just found the pics on the internet, so I don't get much credit for that.

I agree about the Ferret. I kinda thought the Classified one was a bit oversized, but the vintage one is huge too. I always thought the Awe Striker was smaller than the Vamp, but it's actually really close.

Not to be aggressive about it - but I'd absolutely throw my toys out of the pram is any part of the Whale that was part of the original is a TIER item.

They could make a second Motorbike a tier item, but the sled and the bike are part of it. making them tier items means they is a not ZERO chance they'd be missing and considering a Whale is going to be VERY expensive - NO PART OF THEE WHALE should be a Tier. The Tier can include BONUS items that were not part of the original say some life preservers or additional weapons or a 2nd bike// or some damaged panels etc.

The Bike is seemingly similar to the Japanese "Monkey Bike" (i.e. a folding Motorcycle) and as such is supposed to look kinda silly - that is the entire point of it you fold it up and hang it on the side wall and only use it when needed. They were designed to be thrown in the back of your car and as such can not, and should not be judged by Motorcycle standards. I suppose I wouldn't be that offended if they changed it to something similar to the recon Motorcycle used on the MASK vehicle Firecracker
https://www.maskforce.com/firecracker---mask.html
(This is the sort of thing that could easily be a 1/12th scale Haslab I would say)

Maybe I might not totally throw my toys out of the pram if interior folding seating was a tier ( I wouldn't like it however ).

But as a rule the Whale Tiers should be Figures.. & I think to prevent anyone crying to much about it being a figures they'd "miss out on" other than the obvious ones at least some of them might be best as obscure sub-groups or such.

I think some people would moan like heck if Navy Seal Shipwreck was a Tier for example.

There is a "slight" chance that all the tiers do not unlock on a very high price item even if it funds. So if one of those tiers is an obscure version of Wetsuit.. its likely not going to upset anyone to much.

I think the reason a whale might struggle a little compared to the usually production figures of a Haslab Gi Joe is that it is so big, it isn't super condusive to army building & the sheer cost is going to mean more people are likely to only buy just the one.

But yeah I'd buy a Whale totally.. I however wouldn't buy 2 whales I don't think Unless I think of a specific set of reasons to drop 'New TV Money' on 2 of them.

I would like to see the Snowcat, AWE Striker, and Warthog for vehicles.
A Mauler MBT or Killer Whale for a HasLab would be cool!

How would you feel about Cover Girl being in Mad Marauders (Sgt Slaughter's Marauders)? The Lynx has the same base as the Wolverine.
