Real question from someone who doesn't collect classified, was there really any doubt on this? What makes or breaks a joe haslab?

I think the success of a HasLab is based on the initial price and perceived value of the item, plus the unlocks.  If you look at the Star Wars Rancor - the cost was high, and the additional unlocks where far from what people had hoped for. I think the price for the Rattler was scene as appropriate without the unlocks.  I have to say it was smart this time around to release all of the unlock reveals up front because of the patches being very unexciting.

I really like the Stinger - only 2 minor issues.  The spikey thing on the front is only held in place with tension, and when the doors are on, with the windshield being tinted it is almost impossible to see the interior or if there is even a figure inside.

Everything I OK from what I can see - I also ordered the Rattler - but patches are lame, and I was hoping for more than just a repaint of the baroness - maybe like a cobra ground crew.
I am not a fan of exclusives and never will be, so I hope they really limit the amount of them.  FOMO kills the hobby faster than items being overpriced.

I have bought several copies of the comics over the years, from the original releases, to the Graphic Novel collections.  This one looks amazing, and when comparing the cost of what i have spent in the past, isn't outrageous.  That being said,  I now have a digital file of all of them, and don't have the space that another set would take up.  I think I ended up boxing up all of my previous copies and have them tucked away in the attic or the back of a closet.

Crazy - and all of this because of some little plastic army men we fell in love with in the early 80's.

Agreed on the 60th figures - the accessories are the selling features.  The figures I don't really have a desire for, and the price tag of a deluxe figure has left me skipping them.  But if they ever go on sale (maybe on Amazon) I would grab them.

Techno-viper is a great figure, just wish the hose was a cm or two longer.   And yes Airborne is way better in hand,  not a single quality control issue, and the paint applications are crisp.  Only gripe is his gun.
