Looks like Hasbro's G.I. Joe Brand Team is going to have some celebrating to do tonight. Not only has their first G.I. Joe Classified Haslab Campaign for the 6" scale Cobra H.I.S.S. Tank reached it's minimum funding goal of 8k backers, but it did it in record time. The G.I. Joe 6" Cobra H.I.S.S. Tank Haslab Campaign which only launched earlier this morning at 11am ET now holds the Haslab record for reaching it's minimum funding goal in under 24 hours. Both the Haslab Marvel Legends Sentinel and Haslab Star Wars Vintage Collection Razorcrest took over a day to reach their minimum funding goals.

The Haslab G.I. Joe 6" Cobra H.I.S.S. Tank costs $299.00 and includes a 6" Classified H.I.S.S. Tank Driver figure. Not only that but because it reached 8k backers in under a week Hasbro is throwing in an extra Early Bird 6" Cobra H.I.S.S. Tactician Action Figure inspired by Ron Rudat�s designs.

This project also has 4 unknown stretch goals:

-10,000 backers to unlock Cobra H.I.S.S. Classified Upgrade #1
-12,000 backers to unlock Cobra H.I.S.S. Classified Upgrade #2
-14,000 backers to unlock Cobra H.I.S.S. Classified Upgrade #3
-16,000 backers to unlock Cobra H.I.S.S. Classified Upgrade #4

Now that the campaign has surpassed the minimum 8k backers needed to be funded, hopefully Hasbro will reveal the first stretch goal very soon. We will update here when they do.

Just to recap this is what the H.I.S.S. Tank itself includes;

- Functioning wheels with moving treads: Rotating sprockets and wheels spin as the treads roll forward or backward.

- Elaborately-detailed command cockpit interior: The Cobra H.I.S.S. Driver Action Figure sits buckled with a 5-point harness adorned with Cobra logo before an illuminated control panel. You can pose the figure operating the articulated joystick and throttle controls while targeting Joe combatants.

- �Gull-wing� Canopy: The vehicle comes with features �gull wing� functioning doors with independent right and left sides that lift from center hinges allowing the Driver to enter from either side of the H.I.S.S.

- Rear Cargo Bay: The rear personnel platform provides standing room for additional troops who can be posed holding the functional handrails. Below that is a retractable tow hitch on the rear of the vehicle. The center of the personnel platform flips up allowing the rear cargo door to drop. That reveals an illuminated troop transport cargo space. Inside is a jump seat and a weapon accessory storage rack.

- Articulated turret with poseable cannon accessories: The 360-degree rotating turret includes control details and fits an additional G.I. Joe Classified Series Action Figure (sold separately). The Double �Diablo� Cannon accessories can swivel and elevate independently from one another.

- Removable engine cover detail: Behind the cockpit sits the M.A.R.S.-developed HISS-CS22 propulsion unit detail beneath a removable cover. It connects to side exhaust port details.

- Removable armor plating skirt: The Cobra H.I.S.S. comes with a removable armor plating skirt detail with reactive armor to provide extra protection for the road wheels

- Extendable cockpit boarding ladders: Flip-down boarding ladders descend from each side of the H.I.S.S. granting the Driver easier access to the cockpit.

So now that the campaign has exceeded 8k backers, let see how long it takes to get to the next goal of 10k backers.

I seem to recall Lenny saying that this Haslab exclusive Mickey Mouse CoCo would have a chrome faceplate. Or maybe I'm misremembering it and he said they were simply looking into doing it-which would mean that it wasn't feasible for some reason)

Guess I'm in the minority in not wanting a chrome face plate.

Looks great, only thing that I could imagine making it better would be a chrome faceplate but I think/hope they will do that for the inevitable regular-symbol release.
