I would love a Killer Whale and would buy multiples of the water Moccasin. I don't understand the logic that the water vehicles would have to be waterproof or even have to float. The air vehicles they made don't fly! .
I absolutely agree 100%. If I were to spend Haslab $ on a Haslab water based vehicle it would be for display purposes only not to find my nearest pond!!
The Moray is the most desirable of any Joe/Cobra vehicle. The aversion to water vehicles doesn't make sense. I get these are toys but we are adults paying $300 for collectibles. Waterproofing shouldn't be a priority or a justification for skipping this line of vehicles.
Mauler was a better vehicle, but hasbro probably would go with MOBAT as can get the extra nostalgia and the allure of OG13 collectors to drive more sales.
The Mauler with Thunder would really be awesome as well Hasbro should also make the Wolverine Tank for the 6"inch Retro Cover Girl Figure if & whenever she does come out with two interchangeable heads as well hands & removable jacket & tools too. Now that's something that Hasbro should really make.
Dex is right, 3 figures compared to dragonfly with 4 is a let down. Could have add a grunt cobra with trolley to transport the missiles to the aircraft. Or some other crewmember that helps with the flight of the vehicle..
Not a fan of attaching the remaining OG13 to HASLAB projects. It would immediately put them out of reach for many collectors due to the price. Keep them separate figures. Obviously, Clutch with the VAMP, Steeler with the MOBAT etc. makes sense.
They need to get away from the crowd funding model. Just have a pre-order window like they’re doing with the Marvel stuff and charge us when the thing ships. Tired of paying for this stuff a year in advance.
I am on board with the Mobat as the next haslab, but would love to see a mini base or a repair depot or ammo depot mini base for the tank. I am fine with the extra figs, but would love to see something more from the haslab team that expand the world further.
I'd personally rather have a suped-up Thunder Machine as the HasLab, with customizable car parts & some cool Dreadnoks. But they've said a few times that the Thunder Machine can be made for retail.
I really want a arctic theme for GI Joe, more so than what we got right now. The Snowcat, but also V2 for Stalker with the Kayak. Also the skimobile, I had the Cobra Wolf as a kid. And finally there is the Cobra Ice snake from the 90s. Enough to tap into.
@@ViperIsland Which is REALLY surprising! That thing as a HasLab would have been crazy. Thrasher, add Monkeywrench and Zanzibar as tiers, maybe even a Cold Slither Tour concert T, etc.
@@baldstevegames9080 I'm glad it won't be a Haslab. I'm not really planning on getting the vehicles, just the figures, so I don't need a $200 Monkeywrench from the aftermarket. Let MW and Thrasher be mainline.
I wish they'd just drop electronics, I don't need nor want them. Much rather have a version w/o for $75-100 cheaper, The true problem is size with a WHALE or Moray, The WHALE was probably the biggest vehicle outside of the FLAGG or Defiant (or Terror Dome, which isn't a vehicle). The OG MOBAT was pretty small compared to a real world tank, the Mauler was much better. I don't think any O13 should be locked behind the HASLAB except variations. Rather have Steeler, Heavy Metal (since they prob won't do a Mauler if they do a MOBAT), & Thunderwing (who was part of the 90s version of the MOBAT). I feel like drivers from similar vehicles to the HasLab should be part of the offering, I wish Liftticket had been included with the Dragonfly since it's unlikely we'll get a a Tomahawk.
Adding some led lights to a toy is dirt cheap and does NOT make a 75$ price difference. And lights add to the overall appearance and leaving them out would be a huge deal breaker for me.
Also, I am dying to get the thunder machine and am okay with it being a pulse exclusive. I don’t want it as a retail item because of the scarcity of the items at Target and Walmart. I would prefer preordering it from pulse.
My son and I both want the Killer Whale. With Hasbro having made playsets, I'd love to see the next Haslab being the Tactical Battle Platform. Third tier wish is the Wolverine with a new Cover Girl over the Mauler.
I think they will end up making water vehicles, probably in 2-3 years, assuming the line stays strong for that long and I don’t see any reason that it won’t stay strong. They almost have to do water vehicles because collectors want them and there’s only so many land and air vehicles that make sense as HasLabs.
Definitely a MOBAT Tank. Comes with Steeler. First tier Zap, second tier Short-fuse, third tier Flash. Col. Hawk will come with MMS thats a no brainer. Grand Slam will come with a Jump Jet pack with base. There's you OG 13.
I love the H.I.S.S but actually like the Dragonfly slightly more….I think the Rattler looks great, I would give it an initial 9 out of 10 just off the early images, etc.
What about the Havoc over the Mobat? If it is the Mobat, what can they do to make it worth it? I mean, if Dex doesn't like the Rattler because it's just a basic jet, he's not going to like the Mobat. 😅
Man I've stomached thru the last 2 haslabs which I have 1 of each but still have 4 hiss tanks mainly cause it holds extra figs. Give me a havoc, bridge layer or apc. Drop the electronics and give us the water vehicles ASAP. That's what sells
I placed a deposit on the ramen toy Hunter tank preorder. It makes sense that Haslab would go with the MOBAT to compete with the Hunter, but a Mauler would be cooler.
Or mabey a tank-girl🤷🏼♂️🫣😂 I wouldn't try to compete with Ramen toys to make a better mobat, bridgelayer, wolverine one. -seems petty. I like the other sugestions. Havoc, Snowcat, whale, Tactical battle platform would be an awesome choice. Massive playability. 4 figs. But Release the skyhawk and Sharc that year in the mainline. And a water moccasin. Following year a Whale or the Moray hydrofoil as a haslab
I’m guessing the MOBAT might hold sway with the US crowd, but with international one it is a just very meh. There’s more iconic vehicles they could choose
It will be the Mauler not the MOBAT and the Rattler already previewed it. Look at the patches, one was a Dragonfly that we already got, and the other looks way more like the Mauler than the Mobat. Also the targeting screen on the Rattler has what looks like the Mauler on it. Ramen toys has a Tank coming out next year that’s a dead ringer for the Mobat and Hasbro hasn’t done anything to stop it. If they had a Mobat Haslab coming out the same year than I would imagine they’d be way more aggressive in blocking them.
Hopefully you can find a third-party shipping service that will mail to you at a slight markup and not the gouchy gouchy thank-you for making mine free ebay prices...
I feel like Colonol Hawk would go with MMS. But could see Steeler and max 1 other OG 13. Though if they did the prenium vs basic like you mentioned I could see them maybe doing 3. Heck if they went 3 or 4 I would prbably order multiples :)
I totally agree that its gonna be a Joe Tank. But, looking close at the Rattler patch the muzzle on the tank looks more like the Maulers. It would only make sense since the Mauler is their main battle tank.
@@ViperIsland I agree. It makes a lot of sense to have Steeler & the other figures to be in their retro packaging. I got my original MOBAT for Christmas 1982. 😬
I agree with Dex on the patches and the lack of an additional figure. But him disliking the "jet" hurt my GI-Joe nostalgic feelings haha. I get it though. It's really aimed at adult collectors. We who have a connection with it instant bought it.
The MOBAT would be awesome! The Mauler may be my favorite Joe tank, but I've had a soft spot for the MOBAT ever since reading "Tanks for the memories." I'd better start saving some money.
My same prediction. And you really made a lot of sense about it! The Mobat is one of my favorite Joe vehicles. 🚗 I also want the Joe A.P.C! Kudos Son! Kudos! I just subscribed. Cool 😎 Beans 🫘
Now *that* would be a dream project! It would be too large, but they could do it if they had the balls. I'd probably be willing to drop $500 on it, even though I don't have $500. The Night Raven is probably my most favourite ARAH vehicle. I think they're far more likely to do the Conquest.
I was just looking at my ARAH collection, and realise that the Persuader is a strong contender. It's bigger than the HISS, so probably won't come to retail. It's the same length as the Mauler, and only an inch shorter than the HAVOC. It's a very cool, underappreciated vehicle.
But where are my Strato and Ice Vipers?! Yeah, I have hope that the Ice Vipers vehicle may be made, but I highly doubt we'll get a classified Night Raven. Would love to see some vehicle operators released for vehicles too large for the classified scale. Thanks for your videos!
Yes!!! I've been calling for the M.O.B.A.T. with Steeler for the next HasLab. I want to complete the original 13 and you can't have Steeler without his tank!
I'd much prefer the HAVOC. They really need to start making vehicles that can accommodate several Joes for display purposes. And i'm not talking about hiding them in the backseat of a car, lol. HAVOC has a lot of display possibilities. I definitely agree it will be a Joe land vehicle, I think that part is obvious though.
Yeah, Zap, Flash, and Short Fuze as tiers added to the MOBAT and Steeler would be nice. They can release the MMS with Hawk and the HAL with Grand Slam.
Ramen Toys is making a tank. While different companies, if the MOBAT is the next HASLAB, it shows Hasbro's failings. Hasbro needs to lead beyond the competition. The MOBAT, as cool as it will be, is not the big bang Hasbro needs to deliver.
There's a big difference between vamp/stinger and thunder machine. The thunder machine doesn't have any re-used parts like the vamp and stringer. It would be all new. I just don't see that being retail any time soon. All for the Mobat, as long as it gets upgraded to hold more than one figure. I have no desire to have 3-4 named characters with any Haslab. Have other things like PacRats or changeable weapons or a towable item like the whirlwind or HAL.
I mean I understand the lobar because of the whole original figures. But I liked the look of the mauler is a much cooler looking tank. I never owned any of these. And the whole electronics and water thing is understandable. But the killer whale. And the hydrofoil. Whaaat that would be epic. I owned both of those!
@ sure it has a certain similarity but it’s not really that close to a A-10. VTOL w/ 3 engines and a mid fuselage gunner vs the A-10s 2. The Rattler is awesome all tho
Are these prices for real, holy crap!These vehicles and figure sets are incredible and really fun to see; I've been having a blast going down memory lane. But those price tags deflated the tires pretty dang quick... hasbro going after gen x already strapped retirement funds
I want the MOBAT. It's a must, you gotta have a tank for GI Joe. I really want the snowcat to go with the snow serpents. But iam glad it will be a retail item. So I can buy multiples as well.
I don't know about the MOBAT. Ramen toys have tanks that will be sold for less than $200 and most likely on the market before this Haslab is even announced.
just a thought but doing an rc whale haslab in the future would be cool. like if they have to waterproof it anyway they could probably make it rc a lot easier then say an aircraft
I think it will be an Amalgam of the MOBAT and the Mauler. In that the MOBAT can seat only one person. With a Mauler base and a MOBAT turret. We can set three in the vehicle. Why not just a Mauler? Because the vehicles will be lighted. and the MOBAT has that sweet spotlight mounted to the barrel. It has to be Amazing, removable tools, panels, engine detail. Because the Mauler or MOBOT has competition out there with Raman Toys Hunter. So yeah, I ordered the Hunter also for a MOBOT Stand in. So HasLab has to bring their A Game on this one.
My money's on the Mauler. The Mobat is just a less interesting version of it. It would be an easy pass for me. (Which will be a welcome relief for my wallet.) I believe the Whale, Moray and Tomahawk are bigger than the Hasbro team are willing to go. After that, I think that the Conquest, Havoc and Maggot are the main contenders, with the Snowcat being borderline, as it's right on the edge of being too small for Haslab, but too big for retail. Also, I doubt that being waterproof is going to be a priority for water vehicles. Haslab's aren't pool toys, they are for display on a shelf. In what way are the vintage Rattler's engines "sci-fi"?
I don’t have particular nostalgia for the Mobat, so if this bears out, the tank and vehicles would have to be super appealing to me. But I definitely prefer the later wackier vehicles, like the Persuader or Mad Dog (think that was its name). Definitely will snatch a retail Desert Fox!! That was one of my all time favorites.
There will also be Transformers X G.I Joe collaboration Optimus Prime / Mobat, does it make sense that they will be developing 2 Mobats in 1 year? And could the Mobat renders be for that project? Don't get me wrong I would really like a Mobat Haslab, just don't want t be disappointed when it's not the Mobat. So I hope you're right, great video!
Why can't they do what the Marvel Legends team did this year with pre orders with Dragon Man and Sentinel 97? I think snowcat or thunder machine would fit in that situation.
Wait, what is the Baroness's helmet design based on? I agree with Dex, the patches were stupid. Should have been another figure. Why not do a ground crew person to go with it.
I would love a Killer Whale and would buy multiples of the water Moccasin. I don't understand the logic that the water vehicles would have to be waterproof or even have to float. The air vehicles they made don't fly! .
Yeah really, just make them and it’s a guarantee that they will be funded!
Agree 100%. Whoever is putting their $300 collectible in a bathtub or pond doesn't give a **** anyway. Make the Moray!
Bars
I absolutely agree 100%. If I were to spend Haslab $ on a Haslab water based vehicle it would be for display purposes only not to find my nearest pond!!
Yeah like I never put any big toy like that in the water. Heck I wouldn't regardless and consider it an adult collections the haslabs.
When I was a kid the APC was the best because it carried so many figures, I'm not saying Haslab but I really want to see it made

The Mauler would be cooler. I was always partial to that one myself.
I agree. Mauler > MOBAT. Should be a badass tank, either way!

@@tedcarterjr. I agree the Mauler would be much cooler. But just FYI, it came with Heavy Metal. Thunder came with the Slugger tank! Yo Joe!
I think the problem with the mobat is that many fans would expect it to be motorized.
Dex is right, 3 figures compared to dragonfly with 4 is a let down. Could have add a grunt cobra with trolley to transport the missiles to the aircraft. Or some other crewmember that helps with the flight of the vehicle..
Bricklayer or Tomahawk with Lift-Ticket. Had those as as kid
Not a fan of attaching the remaining OG13 to HASLAB projects. It would immediately put them out of reach for many collectors due to the price. Keep them separate figures. Obviously, Clutch with the VAMP, Steeler with the MOBAT etc. makes sense.
They will be available in retro packaging
The could go all out and do a duel, Wolf VS Snowcat.
They don't need to waterproof. I'm not spending 400 on a vehicle to play with it in the tub
They need to get away from the crowd funding model. Just have a pre-order window like they’re doing with the Marvel stuff and charge us when the thing ships. Tired of paying for this stuff a year in advance.
This and finishing out the OG 13! YES!!!

I placed a deposit on the ramen toy Hunter tank preorder. It makes sense that Haslab would go with the MOBAT to compete with the Hunter, but a Mauler would be cooler.
I like tiers better over the standard or deluxe offering
Could they make it a little bit like the Mauler with an interior drivers seat?
I'm located in Montreal. The rattler was 570$ cad with shipping and exchange. It's totally worth it in my eyes.

Mabey a tank bunny🤷🏼♂️
My money's on the Mauler. The Mobat is just a less interesting version of it. It would be an easy pass for me. (Which will be a welcome relief for my wallet.)
I believe the Whale, Moray and Tomahawk are bigger than the Hasbro team are willing to go.
After that, I think that the Conquest, Havoc and Maggot are the main contenders, with the Snowcat being borderline, as it's right on the edge of being too small for Haslab, but too big for retail.
Also, I doubt that being waterproof is going to be a priority for water vehicles. Haslab's aren't pool toys, they are for display on a shelf.
In what way are the vintage Rattler's engines "sci-fi"?
Great video guys!
Much appreciated! 🙏 Thanks for watching!
I don’t have particular nostalgia for the Mobat, so if this bears out, the tank and vehicles would have to be super appealing to me. But I definitely prefer the later wackier vehicles, like the Persuader or Mad Dog (think that was its name). Definitely will snatch a retail Desert Fox!! That was one of my all time favorites.
Hadn’t seen Dex’s thoughts, but I agree with him! Especially on the patches! Would rather the cost was dropped than pay for those.
The Equilizer would have been cool.
Snow cat should be the same size as the hiss…. I’d rather the HAVOC over Mobat
There will also be Transformers X G.I Joe collaboration Optimus Prime / Mobat, does it make sense that they will be developing 2 Mobats in 1 year? And could the Mobat renders be for that project? Don't get me wrong I would really like a Mobat Haslab, just don't want t be disappointed when it's not the Mobat. So I hope you're right, great video!
Why can't they do what the Marvel Legends team did this year with pre orders with Dragon Man and Sentinel 97?
I think snowcat or thunder machine would fit in that situation.
Wait, what is the Baroness's helmet design based on?
I agree with Dex, the patches were stupid. Should have been another figure. Why not do a ground crew person to go with it.
Mobat would be cool, but if it was up to me I’d do the Wolverine
So I guess a Grand Slam with jump pad won’t be a Haslab
MOBAT.....passing on that just like the Rattler. The MOBAT holds one joe.......We need the HAVOC to display joes.
I'll settle for nothing less than the Rolling Thunder.
Mauler and/Mobat with Steeler, and one the additional figures could be Heavy metal
I handed them the perfect release!
