I'd be all over this. I'd love to see an old concept from the cartoon or comic that was NEVER produced come to life!

I agree with you that it would be nice to know if the O-Ring line has much of a future beyond the year 2023, and if it does, I don't think that the Skystriker HasLab project should need to have a counter project planned for the future, because we're not placing these projects on a balance scale.
Instead, for real excitement, HasLab could finally produce the COBRA air force CH-54 Tarhe heavy-lift helicopter with a troop-carrying pod. The included pilot(s) could be 1987 Gyro-Viper action figures. If they decided to do an early bird special, they could offer a repaint of that action figure, which is Skydive, the 1990 G.I. Joe Sky Patrol Leader. Should the early bird goal not be reached, it wouldn't kill the project overall. Stretch goals could be other Cobra action figures for the troop-carrying pod, which might not otherwise see release other than this Haslab project. Another good choice would be the Cobra Diamondback jets used in the opening attack in the MASS Device and again in Cobra Stops the World: https://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-j...t-episode.html https://gijoe.fandom.com/wiki/Diamondback All these years later, Cobra really still doesn't have a proper fighter jet toy (except the Liquidator). These could fill that hole. Last edited by SnowCat; 11-11-2022 at 03:28 PM.. |

A few of you think that reinforcing a few small pieces justifies tripling the price - would you also agree that this would, if offered, get 9,000+ people to purchase if a crowdfund was offered with that product and pricepoint?
Remember, they have to design a product 8-10,000 people will pay for, not just us individually. If the Rattler comes with fixes/stand/blast effects/x number of carded figures, I?m all in on a Rattler.

I don't think it would be funded as many times over as the Classified HISS was, but it would definitely fund. The Skystriker barely made it over the line, and needed Cobra to do so. I think the popularity of the faction of GI Joe has waned a whole lot, while people are still nostalgic and enthusiastic for anything Cobra. |

I would love a Rattler, and I'm also sure it would fund if it was even given half the amount of attention the Skystriker got.

There is some news that the Skystriker might be ahead of schedule.
https://twitter.com/JediJaybird/stat...66445052055558 I never know what to make of these shipping data reports. Sometimes they are right, but they often seem way in front of the actual availability. Still, this is good news either way.

It's probably way in front by several months. That's how the Razor Crest was anyway from the first "arriving in the US" report to when they actually started shipping to customers.

The same account said Victory Saber hit US around 9/12 and Galactus around 8/23. IIRC, VS is preparing to ship now and Galactus began shipping around 10/30?
He seems to be accurate, but "hitting the US" to "shipping to you" seems to be about a two-month window. Even then, January 2023 is still about 3-4 months ahead of when I expected them to ship. What excellent news!

Like others have said, arriving in the U.S. port here in San Pedro does not mean it will be shipping out to us very soon.
We will probably see these start to ship to our doorsteps sometime in late February or early March.
