G.I. Joe Classified Cobra Rattler Video Review

Im a little bummed with Hasbro. I dont feel like this has been a particularly good G.I. June. They cancelled one livestream and all we got another week was a digital render. It feels like Hasbro doesnt really care about the brand anymore.

The fanstream (streams are rarely live anymore) being cancelled that second week was disappointing. But Hasbro posted a lot more content than just that first fanstream. Hasbro has been posting videos for Yo Joe June on the Hasbro Pulse Youtube channel every week besides that second week. The digital render of Night Force Quick Kick and Beach Head was shown in the middle of a twenty-seven minute discussion Classified principal designer Lenny Panzica had with Joshua Williamson from Skybound Comics about the GI Joe (Energon Universe) comics. There was also a shorter video posted that same day with Alex Antone, editor of Skybound's GI Joe A Real American Hero, talking about that title and Larry Hama, who's still writing it. Yesterday's unboxing of the Rattler was expected and anticipated by many. They also posted a video about GI Joe characters being introduced in Overwatch 2 for a two-week crossover event.

This has to be a cheaper haslab than previous joe one's. The snow cat really seems like it would be around the size of the vamp. I'm surprised it's not just a pulse exclusive. I'm sure it will have treads like the hiss has and that is why they are making it a haslab, because of tooling cost. At least I hope that's the reason and it should be around the $200 price point. Or I'm probably going to pass, it was not a larger vehicle in the vintage line and can't see it being like $300. The dragon fly was like $275 right? It can't be that much even I feel just based on its scale. This might be my breaking point.

Baroness looks amazing. Definitely worth the 329.99 (or whatever I paid each) for her.

The Snowcat is rumored to have a snowbunny Baroness tier. I find that hard to believe, but that's the only way I will be in on it.

Join Emily and Lenny as they reveal one of the final production samples of this epic G.I. Joe Classified Series Haslab Cobra Rattler, packed with detail, firepower, and fan-favorite characters like Wild Weasel and Baroness. From modular packaging to blast effects, rebreathers, battle-damage options, and that massive jet - this is the full unboxing experience you've been waiting for.Next G.I. Joe Classified Series Haslab launches next week and was heavily hinted at to be a Snowcat.

I'm so shocked this wasn't delayed!

Bring on that Baroness.

I would have really liked to have backed this thing, but I barely had room for the VAMP, let alone an airplane! Super cool, and glad everything got unlocked for those who did back it. Hopefully I will get to see one in person somewhere, as it is really rad even if I cant own it myself!

It is damn impressive in person.

Congratulations to all that backed this project ??

*** On a semi-related note, I got to see a vintage and complete US Flagg Aircraft carrier a couple weeks back. That was really cool. Image one of those in 1/12 scale lol. I would have to tell my wife that we no longer have a living room?

Final number was adjusted down some to 26,903 backers.

And then adjusted back up a little bit ago to 28,096.

Apparently there were delays in charging customers. I don't know if that has to do with such large shifts in the numbers or what, but I suppose it's possible that somebody at Pulse (or a program) expected all orders to be charged and updated the counter at a certain time of day, but somebody else at Pulse told them that they hadn't actually finished getting through all the orders and it needed to be updated again. I wouldn't be surprised if the numbers get adjusted again one last time.
