G.I.Joe Classified 2023 Haslab Live-Stream Coverage - G.I. Joe Assault Copter Dragonfly (XH-1)

Hasbro

Hasbro today is holding a live-stream so they can launch this year's G.I. Joe Classified Haslab campaign.

The campaign is up live now on HasbroPulse and is confirmed to be the Classified Dragonfly.

The price is $274.99. They need 10k backers by the end of July 17. It will include Wild Bill Classified figure. If it gets to 13k backers then it will also include a NightForce Ripcord figure and there will be 2 additional stretch goals.

This two-seat Assault Copter offering represents the pinnacle of G.I. Joe’s anti-armor technology. It’s a massive 34.09 inches/865.79 MM long from the tip of the front turret barrel to tail, 11.33 inches/287.92 MM tall from skids to rotor, and 13.77 inches/349.76 MM wide wing tip to wing tip. It’s certain to send a shiver down the slithery spine of every Cobra within sight.

The XH-1 contains battery-powered interior and exterior LED lighting features. At the push of a single button, you can turn on the interior cockpit heads-up displays and spotlight shining down from the underside of the fuselage.

The Copter blades function with manual blade spinning action. The design of the main rotor blades acts as a silencing feature for enhanced stealth capabilities.

In spite of its technological advantages, our Assault Copter is simply a tool unless guided by practiced hands at the control stick. And the G.I. Joe team has recruited the best of the best in Bill to pilot our craft. Each XH-1 you order includes a new-to-the G.I. Joe Classified Series William “Wild Bill” Hardy 6-inch scale action figure with his signature cowboy hat, removable sunglasses, and 3 weapon accessories. This figure comes individually boxed with his own artwork and number in the G.I. Joe Classified Series sequence and will only be available through this HasLab offering.

They showed off an early model along with digital renders.

It will have blast effects. Lights in the canopy and outside.

I really hope I get enough cash before it sells out. This is one of my most wanted things ever. I remember when Classified started that I said I hope we get vehicles, like a chopper and when this came out, I was laid off and couldnt back it. Things are better now, but I bought the ecto 1 and now Im out of money again LOL

Why it would be weird when A. they did this before (skystriker haslab) and B.The limit is only 5 per person or transaction (whihc means there actually is no limit wink wink) and C. Its a HasLab, not a limited # product like Once A Man Cobra Commander.

We talked a lot about this when it happened before with Skystriker. The timing of BBTS putting this up suggests that they did not have a ton of employees set up accounts and order five each. If they did that, why not post the Dragonfly back when everyone else got theirs? So I don't think BBTS is ordering these in the same way consumers and other backers did. (If they were, why didn't they order the HISS tank, a much more popular Haslab?)

I agree with the idea that Hasbro offloaded a bunch of them to BBTS. But why?

It's just bizarre that a product that Hasbro swears will never be available again suddenly pops up on a large retailer in decent quantities (at least 24).

With my last point, there is a VAST difference between a flipper buying up all the stock of a limited product vs a flipper backing as many crowd-funded things they can. One is an #$#$#, the other is cool with me.

Now, what would actually make it weird is if BBTS had like 500 units or something. Even 100. THAT would be questionable, but moreso about HasLabs.

It's really weird that BBTS gets dozens of these in stock.

I think these were probably the remaining replacement stock Hasbro would have produced to cover returns/replacements etc.

Wish I could have got - still want that Glenda...

The Hasbro G.I Joe Classified Series G.I Joe Assault Copter Dragonfly (XH-1) is available and in-stock at our sponsor BigBadToyStore.com with a suggested retail price of $429.99.

Nice for those who never got it. I backed mine during the Haslab campaign and right now I have it still in it's box in my garage until I get time to organize a few things in my shelves... ???
