Your energy and love for GIJOE us so awesome. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. All of our excitement and energy will keep GIJOE alive for a very long time.
WHALE would be awesome! But not sure they could do it at 2x the current, but maybe more to a 1.5 upscale meaning a complete redesign. The other issue is price and that means you are not going to see multiple buys. I know I would only back 1. A tank is likely but Ramen is coming out with some good options that will take away from sales. Skystriker is too big, but they could design a new jet based on the F35 or F22 and use the same characters and would generate multiple buys. Maybe they offer the command center / Cobra terror dome with modules like the Star Wars cantina? Another option is to offer the first 3 again in new deco?
You almost hit the nail again 😂. Idk why but i have always dug the SnowCat (and i got my vint Cat sitting next to my vint H.I.S.S "same size"). I'd also dig a Wolverine but my guess on the next Haslab is the MOBAT. Yo Freaking Joe!
As always, you rock! SnowCat is my favorite too. I would be the first to purchase it online! But yes, in the end it is probably going to be a tank next year. I wish it will be one of these others.
@@JoePal-c3n awesome idea!.. maybe a Cobra island set?, they could sell it in pieces in retail (command center, armory, depot, mess hall, troop quarters,...) Yo Freaking Joe
I have two whacky possibilities (I suspect we're getting a Tank but for the sake of something different in the discussion): 1. The Warthog. A nice troop-carrier type vehicle that's a little bit more "sexy" than the OG APC. 2. A multipack of the HAL, MMS, FLAK, and Whirlwind (with (Red Pads) Grand Slam, OG Hawk, and maybe Short-Fuze and Zap). Basically "Anti-Air" weapons to fight the Rattler and a good chunk of the OG13 along the way.
It’s going to be the Mauler. If you look at the patches that come with the Rattler one of them is clearly the Mauler, it’s also one the targeting screen on the jet. Reman toys dose have a nice Mobat substitute coming out next year.
Man, it's just weird to me that they would do the Mauler ahead of the MOBAT. Purely anecdotal but I didn't know anyone that had the Mauler when I was a kid, but practically everyone had the MOBAT. And the MOBAT has a LOT of room for modernization/"souping up." I don't think the Ramen Toys stuff is going to significantly hurt potential sales. A lot of collectors only want "official" stuff.
@ The Mauler is a More “deluxe” looking tank than the Mobat that looks kind of generic green army men. I have both of them in vintage and think they’re both great in their own ways. But a Classified Mauler would look amazing going against the Hiss tank
The WHALE would be my choice, especially if it could actually float! They've had other HasLabs that got close to $500. Marvel's Galactus, I believe, was at least $400, so they've gone more expensive previously. If not the WHALE, I would love the Wolverine, or maybe even merge the MOBAT and the Wolverine, as I wouldn't mind something original.
Love to see the Whale, but it is probably too big. They will likely go with a Joe land vehicle. Hope they don’t make the MOBAT, Mauler, or Wolverine, since I already preordered Ramen Toys version. APC and Snowcat would be OK, but I think the HAVOC would be a great Haslab. It’s Iconic, SciFi and something only Hasbro could do. The little air vehicle on the back would also add to the features.
I'm thinking that it will be the M.O.B.A.T. The original G.I. Joe Tank with Steeler. That will put them on the path to completing the original 13 Joes.
Great point! Yeah, I think it will be a tank as I stated in the video. I would just like to see something else, but I get it. I mean, I’m going to get it either way right?! 😊
My MONEY is on the BATTLE PLATFORM. Lots of Room for Tiers. Lots of Room for Figures, such as Deep Six in Suit. SHARC. Armadillo. Sky Hawk. As cool as the Rolling Thunder is, the THUNDER CLAP makes more sense. 2 Smaller vehicles, MASSIVE Cannon, less parts.
@@jessiemartinez3056agreed. I honestly would too. Someone did make the point that other Haslabs have gone for $400 or $500. So yes, as well as GI Joe Haslabs do every year, I think it is worth a shot for Hasbro to do this!
That would make a lot of sense for some of the vehicles like the Snow Cat, Thunder Machine, etc... kind of too small for a HasLab but too big for regular retail. Marvel Legends has yet to drop a "preorder item" that gets to the full size/pricepoint of the HasLab stuff. I think there's room for both in the market.
Cobra = tank/not-a-tank. Ground attack jet. G.I. Joe = ground attack helicopter. Next will be a ground vehicle, possibly tracked. Yes, I know, this is a broad subject.
I really want the whale to open up the sea front but I think electronics and size may prevent that sadly. Love to see that with a pulse devilfish with wetsuit along with a cobra mocasin. Snow would be ok I guess but not many figures to support it. I am thinking Mobat it’s bland but we will see!
Price issue. Lmao 😂 you mean an investor issue because back in the day Hasbro didn’t squeeze out the kids and consumers with these outrageous price hikes. And in Great Britain they sued them for 12 million for price rigging. You know they charge 3 to 6 times the price. You look at the competition and see vehicles they make and in some cases even better for 1/3 the cost. And then we know a sky striker should have only been $50 but with all the extra figures at $20 a figure the price point goes way up. So maybe they charged $25 a figure to get to the price point of $230 and then they charge around $400 for Canadians when before we used to pay the same prices back on the 1980s and 1990s. For vehicles and action figures. Now a figure like the two pack cost about $45 per figure so one two pack equals $90 with the shipping. And 2 two packs was $160 I think. So that 4 action figures for $160. Hasbro is a shameful shell of what they once were and how they just outright rip off the consumers now. So not impressed with Hasbro. So pathetic how the just ruin the toy industry for collectors kids and consumers.
You make a lot of great points. I do agree that Hasbro is not what it used to be to be. At the DFW Toy Show this past summer, it was so sad listening to the Hasbro legends talk about the good old times at Hasbro but then how it changed dramatically over time until eventually they left or were let go.
That is the best point! I believe it sold originally for $575. And it was funded!That is easily the price a WHALE, for example, would go for. Great, great point.
Very possible to be a Classified Skystriker or Conquest X-30, would love to see a Cobra Hydrofoil though
Hydrofoil 💯💯💯💯💯💯
Wait have they done the whale yet or Apc? Tomahawk maybe
@@jessiemartinez3056whale would be AMAZING!!!
@YoJoeJava yes it sure would be .

Yes hopefully the whale or tomahawk or APC ? Rolling thunder

I’m guessing it’ll be the MOBAT too
@@aaronstepien2363yeah, I know a tank is probably right. I just personally wish it could be something cooler.
Your energy is nuts! Don’t change
Thank you!!! I appreciate it!
Im betting on the 2025 HASLAB will be the MOBAT with Steeler and 3 tiers of figures.
Yeah, you are probably right. A tank is what it looks like!
No but hope it's the persuader or rolling thunder instead.
@@jessiemartinez3056rolling thunder is just the best!
@YoJoeJava yes sir ..fingers crossed...Iost mine years ago
@@jessiemartinez3056sorry to hear that! I hope you get another one! I got an old one at a recent toy show for like $70. Not bad!
A haslab should be something they never made. Something that we really wanted like a Cobra pyramid base
Yes!!! 100% agree. First off, yes, something totally new would be awesome. Two, why don’t they make play sets???
@@JoePal-c3n awesome idea!.. maybe a Cobra island set?, they could sell it in pieces in retail (command center, armory, depot, mess hall, troop quarters,...)

It’s going to be the Mauler. If you look at the patches that come with the Rattler one of them is clearly the Mauler, it’s also one the targeting screen on the jet. Reman toys dose have a nice Mobat substitute coming out next year.
Yes, Ramen is coming out with a nice one. Agreed. I do also agree Hasbro is sending that message with the patches. 💯

@@jasonking3182agreeeeeed
Great points! I agree that Ramen will not do much. Most of us do want the official licensed stuff.

Couldn’t agree more!!!
Yeah but cross country not that great a figure..hopefully the rolling thunder wit armadillo driver
@@jessiemartinez3056 That would be awesome. I had Rolling Thunder as a kid. But it would be absolutely huge!
@markd9803 yes I had it also...best Christmas present ever..do you think it would ever happen?
@@jessiemartinez3056the rolling thunder is amazing. I just think it is already too big. Think of it Haslab! Huge, but yes, awesome.
A Tomahawk would be iconic.
Agreed!!! Dream list…
Yes hope they do .I got that other version that came out a few years back but it was garbage .hope they do the whale or rolling thunder
I'm thinking that it will be the M.O.B.A.T. The original G.I. Joe Tank with Steeler. That will put them on the path to completing the original 13 Joes.

OMG! Yes please! I just bought the original. Would LOVE a Haslab version!
hope they do the crusader or space shuttle complex... that would be cool
The defiant would be legendary, but way too big and expensive probably.
@YoJoeJava yes true but I mean it would be worth every penny no? I would be willing to pay 1 grand
@@jessiemartinez3056agreed. I honestly would too. Someone did make the point that other Haslabs have gone for $400 or $500. So yes, as well as GI Joe Haslabs do every year, I think it is worth a shot for Hasbro to do this!
@@YoJoeJava yeah that would be a dream for me
I had heard they are going to step away from the haslab and do what they did with the new sentinel .....but who knows. Would love a Mobat
Really?! Wow. That would be big news!
That would make a lot of sense for some of the vehicles like the Snow Cat, Thunder Machine, etc... kind of too small for a HasLab but too big for regular retail.

Cobra = tank/not-a-tank. Ground attack jet.
G.I. Joe = ground attack helicopter.
Next will be a ground vehicle, possibly tracked. Yes, I know, this is a broad subject.
I agree with ground attack!
I really want the whale to open up the sea front but I think electronics and size may prevent that sadly. Love to see that with a pulse devilfish with wetsuit along with a cobra mocasin. Snow would be ok I guess but not many figures to support it. I am thinking Mobat it’s bland but we will see!
I agree with a sea front vehicle! We need a boat!!!
I want either Skystriker, Whale, Mauler or Snowcat
All solid choices!!!
If it's the Persuader, I'll back it.
Oooooooh, good call!
Yes I said that also. persuader or rolling thunder
Probably the Mauler. Ramen Toys is releasing a tank that can be configured as a replacement for the MOBAT, Wolverine, and Bridge Layer.
Yep! That is cool. I think you are right about the mauler.

skystriker!!!
After Unicron, is anything truly too big or too expensive when it comes to HasLabs?
That is the best point! I believe it sold originally for $575. And it was funded!That is easily the price a WHALE, for example, would go for. Great, great point.
A Joe tank would make the most sense right now.
Yes, you are probably spot on!
I’m having a tough time trying to decide if his picks for a 2025 Haslab are either iconic or awesome. 🤔
I love the bridge layer but it’s boring the Wolverine would be a better choice.
I agree the bridge layer would be fairly boring. They would really have to spice it up if they went that route.
pre vid, it has to be a non air joe vehicle, so i say the whale or frostcat
Non-air vehicle for sure. Agreed!
I THINK THE NEXT CLASSIFIED HASLAB WILL BE THE G.I.JOE ''CONQUEST'' JET
You could be right! It is awesome.
Would love this!
No no why not the night raven instead?
@ I’d be okay with that as well
@@bryanheinrich371 yes raven it is LMAO
