Frankly, I stopped noticing that she even was. I think when she first came on board the team it was more important to be hands-on involved with the fandom, but now that they have a better handle on what's working/isn't there is likely less of a need to be dabbling here.

1) Singapore. To my knowledge, Hasbro isn't shipping Haslab projects anywhere but the US, its territories and military installations, and Canada. What is it doing there? 2) There's this one report. If it were actually shipping, there would be a five-alarm conflagration of reports. Why send out just one? 3) There were several figures included in the final package. I see only one. No shots of what's in the SkyStriker box. WTF? I'm going to guess the recipient works for Hasbro in product/packaging and posted something they should not have. This is why Hasbro has been silent on it. The skystriker box is probably empty and the figure is a mockup of package design sent to an employee or contractor for evaluation purposes. The real product may not even be set up at the factory yet.

A seller in Taiwan had one on eBay yesterday.
It's pretty common for GI Joes to hit the SE Asian market (Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia) 2-3 months before they hit the US. At least, that's definitely been the case in 2022 and perhaps 2021.

I'm saying it isn't "out" at all, for the following reasons.
1) Singapore. To my knowledge, Hasbro isn't shipping Haslab projects anywhere but the US, its territories and military installations, and Canada. What is it doing there? 2) There's this one report. If it were actually shipping, there would be a five-alarm conflagration of reports. Why send out just one? 3) There were several figures included in the final package. I see only one.

This is why Hasbro has been silent on it. The skystriker box is probably empty and the figure is a mockup of package design sent to an employee or contractor for evaluation purposes. The real product may not even be set up at the factory yet. So with the ebay in Taiwan, that's two. If anyone from Hasbro is listening, (Emily, Emily, Emily!), it might be time for an update on the state of the line. |

I'd guess early January as a ship date right now. Which means it's time to start thinking about parcelling out those O-ring figs.... |

I'm still calling that an empty box. My theory is going to be the leaker got fired and sold it to a vendor who doesn't really know what it has and just flipped it. The ebay "in hand" sale is the same unit posted on facebook and the box is still empty.

If VS hasn't shipped in numbers, he certainly is on the precipice given how many people seem to have review samples (EG, Hasbro sent one to Thew and his review up late lat week).
I'd guess early January as a ship date right now. Which means it's time to start thinking about parcelling out those O-ring figs.... Once we see/hear that, that's the moment where I think it's safe to start asking "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" w/r/t SkyStriker. Late January has been what I was thinking since we first heard of them hitting US shores a month or so back. Anything before April is awesome - my initial read of "Spring 2023" when backing was basically April-June 2023. Delighted to be very wrong here. Don't let good info get in the way of a good conspiracy. You do you, laffo. It is simultaneously, in your fictive mind, a "leak," an "empty box," and yet still was sold by someone "who doesn't know what it has." Just overflowing with wild-eyed assumptions - completely contradictory ones at that.

I skipped VS, so I couldn't tell you... and I haven't hopped on TFW2005 for weeks. But there's too many Youtube reviews of him by now for him NOT to have shipped, I'd think.
