Long story short, I really want to see Flash, Short Fuse, and Zap in Classified. They were all a pretty big part of my formative Joe years.

Oddly, we never had a Mauler or Mobat and I wonder if some of my lukewarm feelings on those toys and their drivers is connected to Joe tanks never really being a part of our play.

Short-fuse is a must have for me, he was the first joe figure i ever had as a kid and has alot of sentimental value for me.

I am eagerly awaiting FLASH, ZAP & SHORT FUSE. Loved those guys and the gear. I think they can make great updates to them, especially after seeing what they did with GRUNT. And I really want an updated Breaker with his radio gear. OG13, bring them!

I didn?t have those tanks either, even though through trade I managed to get both Steeler and Heavy Metal. Even though Flash didn?t have a huge impact on the cartoon and I never read the comic he is one of my favorite Joes. It all comes because he was my first Joe and I played the toy often. The same can be said for Zap, Short Fuze and the rest of the 82 line up. I can?t wait for them in Classified.

I think it all goes back to which toys we had makes a big impact on which ones we really want. We a few exceptions.

My wife will be happy when they finally finish up 82-86 then my collecting should go down as I don?t have any real connections to anything post 87. 87 is the last year I sorta collected.

I had the Mobat several times in my life, including when it was originally released, never had the Mauler, i would assume the next Haslab will be the Mauler, but i always like the Mobat more than the Mauler anyway.

I would like the next Haslab to be Joe tank but like everyone else don?t know which one they will do. I can see them doing the Mauler with Heavy Metal and an Armadillo with Steeler.

I do like the Mobat but it looks really outdated

The mobat and the mauler are both outdated as hell , while i wouldnt mind either of them being made , they would have to update them a lot ,i wouldnt mind the patriot grizzly with better color/tones my son loved that tank and it had storage as well which IMO every vehicle needs some kind of compartment/storage ?looking @ you vamp/ferret? thats what i like about the hiss so much i realize its a closed off compartment but that gun rack in the back of the hiss is awesome to me & it looks real good full w/5 range viper LMG?s on it ..

I wouldnt mind an enlarged version of thunders tank/vehicle the slugger either . I really like that vehicle a larger version with treads on the back or just make the raider in green/black/brown/grey give it realistic auto turrets and weapons i’d back that haslab ..

What are anyone elses thoughts on it ?

I wonder how many free clicks stylin online gets a week as a result of my fat fingers.

I wonder when the Pulse website will be fixed of all its glaring issues. The order history search is still so bad. I searched "stinger" and I saw my two orders for that o-ring Stinger they released a few years ago but my Classified Stinger order doesn't show up at all. I think it is because the order line items truncate the full product titles so parts of them get lost. I noticed this when searching something else that had a long product title where the common name of the release was at the tail end. Unfortunately, nearly all the Classified figures have long product titles like that where the character name appears at the end.

Being the word "Mauler" is written on the Rattler's targeting system I'd bet money it will be the next HasLab. It was the highest after the Rattler in one of the polls as well and people from Hasbro read forums like this. We're like a difunctional focus group.

Zap needs to look like the Sonic Fighter Zap. That was a great figure.
