I am not sure how to honestly answer this poll. My gut instinct automatically makes me against this idea, because an upgraded version of the 1984 Killer W.H.A.L.E. Hovercraft would not be much better than an upgraded HasLab Skystriker, and with no Cobra hack marketing gimmick to save the failing project at the very last moment. But maybe it wouldn't need one, because unlike the Skystriker, there has not been one released for a very long time.
Preferably, instead of HasLab being used to modify or upgrade any existing O-Ring figure vehicles, I would prefer that it be used to offer never before released products, such as the COBRA air force CH-54 Tarhe heavy-lift helicopter. Now that is toy that would get my attention! However, I would have said the same thing about an upgraded Skystriker if that idea were proposed on a forum poll, and to my embarrassment I must admit to being a HasLab backer of that project. It is possible that if the Killer W.H.A.L.E. Hovercraft was upgraded in such a way that I changed my mind about it, I just might back such a project. Maybe if it were made larger, so that it could deploy a V.A.M.P. or larger vehicle and have room to tie down a S.H.A.R.C. atop it... that might sell it for me.

Having just dropped a few hundred on my first WHALE this weekend the answer is nonetheless unequivocally absolutely yes.

I sold off my whale, because it was constantly breaking. I would absolutely back one, probably 2, maybe even 3.
However, don't be shocked if the price is $450-$550, assuming they really do it up right.

It's an easy yes for me. I never had a WHALE growing up and all of the fragility issues have made me not decide not to acquire one over the years. I would support a WHALE HASLAB enthusiastically. Even better if they just released it rather than do a Haslab Either way I would get one though.

^ This is me. I had a couple friends who had it, but never me. Same with the Stystriker.

As much as I would love a WHALE, I thought the Skystriker was too much, so no way I'd pay for a WHALE Haslab. A regular release, maybe... depending on the price.

No but I'd definitely support a Hydrofoil! Had the WHALE as a kid, never the Moray.

I would definitely support, but probably start getting really nervous if it shoots past $300. Does that sound reasonable if the Skystriker is $230?

I supported the max on the Skystriker and would easily do the same on the WHALE.

Count me for a WHALE. Atleast two of them.
