Hasbro Starting To Tease Their 2023 G.I. Joe Haslab Campaign?!?

We already told you how earlier today Hasbro released images for the artwork that will be featured on the packaging for last years 2022 Haslab G.I. Joe Classified H.I.S.S Tank vehicle that will start shipping out to folks later this year. Well it also looks like Hasbro may have also started to tease their 2023 G.I. Joe Classified Haslab campaign as well today.

They posted this strange message on their social media that is made to look like a message being sent by a G.I. Joe agent named Longfellow. In the message he seems to relay a message to the Joes letting them know about the coming of the H.I.S.S. Tank and that they need to step up their own operation which the name of is redacted with 12 X's.

This is likely suggesting that this year's Haslab for G.I. Joe will be a Classified Joe vehicle of some kind. Whether the 12 X's are random or if they signify how many characters are in the name of the vehicle remains unknown. Some have noted that the Joe Helicopter Dragonfly XH-1 has 12 characters in the name which had been rumored as a possible vehicle coming to Haslab, though those rumors had seemingly been shot down later on.

Hasbro has already said they will be doing an Avengers themed Marvel Legends Haslab and a Star Wars Vintage Collection Haslab sometime in 2023. Earlier this year they also did a Transformers Generations HasLab Deathsaurus figure which did get funded. Last year both the Marvel Legends and Star Wars Haslabs failed to get funded but the G.I. Joe Haslab H.I.S.S. Tank was very successful with all stretch goals unlocked and then some.

When more details on this become available we will be sure to let you know.

I am a Wild Bill fan. They've certainly gotten my curiosity up.

Also the dragonfly was re-painted and re-released as the tiger fly so if they're going with the cats out of the bag line for new tiger force recruits this could fit...just guessing but regardless I'm pretty excited to finally find out what it's going to be

Warthog AIFV has 12 letters too

I'll be danged, that is a hood on CC. From Hasbro. Not gonna get my hopes up, though. Probably an oversight.

Hasbro today once again released on of their communique's teasing this years G.I. Joe Haslab campaign. This one shows Storm Shadow breaking into Hasbro to steal a file with the #24 on it. This is the second week in a row Hasbro has highlighted the #24 in these teases.From previous clues we have been able to hypothesize that this year's G.I. Joe Haslab will be for a Classified Joe vehicle to take on last years Cobra H.I.S.S. Tank. The campaign looks to be launching sometime in early June which is just under a week away. With the number 24 being highlighted, that might suggest that the vehicle will be based on the G.I. Joe XH-1 Dragonfly helicopter. The original toy had a 24 decal on one of the engine plates which you can see below. One of the early clues Hasbro dropped also suggested the name of the vehicle would have 12 characters in it which is the same number the name XH-1 Dragonfly has.

Only time will tell and hopefully that time will be short, but right now the clues do seem to be pointing to a new 6" scale G.I. Joe XH-1 Dragonfly helicopter coming which would likely include a new Wild Bild figure and who knows what else. When more details do become available we will be sure to let you know.

The 24 could just be that the thing will be out in 2024, but I would be down for a Dragonfly. That was one of my favorite figures back in the day and Wild Bill is pretty cool.

A lot of people on the Joe forums and groups are reading the "24" as a hint for the Dragonfly, since it had a "24" decal.

"Significant counter-strike capabilities" for some reason makes me think of the HAVOC. And the talk of "new recruits" could be an allusion to the animated film. We've already got Falcon & Tunnel Rat on the way, maybe have Cross Country as the main figure (obviously) but the unlockables could be Chuckles, Jinx with blindfold (so the masked version can still be released in the main line) & Big Lob. All we'd need then is Law & Order to round out the crew.

If that's true, I will be backing this project just like I did with the Hiss tank ??
