I think Abbath saw Zartan as a kid and copied the look

Totally agree and the Dreadnocks were like Motorhead.

How many Flag Points were needed to get the USS Flagg by mail? 😜

Mod Roy here in Mod Mode.

This isn't a topic to share images of every single item that a member processes.

[Mog]

Back on topic, how annoying would it be if Airborne isn’t the final unlock for the Dragonfly?

I remember my parents telling me they thought that toy was way too expensive back in the day. I think there was probably a bigger argument they could’ve made about the space it would’ve taken.

These look arguably better than anything in the Classified line, and certainly better than anything else Hasbro has done since the original ARAH line.

[Roy Focker]

Pass on all three.

[sh9000]

In for at least one Crimson Alley Viper and Mole Rat.

[blackconvoy_D01]

I'm in for Shooter and 3 POC Alley Vipers!

[sh9000]

Fan edits of potential Classified figures.

[Raikkonen]

I'm interested in the Snow Serpent, and the desert camo Snake Eyes... but I'm a tad disappointed the Night Viper hasn't been announced yet, 

[sh9000]

Ultimates Crimson Guard.

The Haslab Dragonfly is currently at 17,609 backers.  I think it will reach 19,000 backers by tomorrow.

I'm skipping this one. Wanted a ground vehicle to go against the Hiss and they failed to win me over with the add on figures.  It will fall one short of reaching 19K because of me.

[sh9000]

It will for sure reach 19,000.  Currently at 18,510 with 1 day, 2 hours, and 27 minutes remaining.

[sh9000]

Currently at 18,709.  At around 100 backers per hour the Dragonfly will probably reach 19,000 by 11 PM tonight PST.

[sh9000]

It's 19,215 right now.

[Negotiator]

damn, must resist FOMO!

[sh9000]

Haslab campaign extended until 11:59 PM EST on 7/18.

[Mommar]

I don't have the space for it but that thing is really cool looking.

I have to say, for a 80s show, this brand sells well... my doubt is that if whatever future show or film don't attract younger fans, once the older fans head into retirement, the obvious will likely hit the brand. 

I'm really curious to know the age ratio of the 19000 backers.

The 80’s brands are all pretty strong and have some pricey big items. I’m surprised every time I see something like the thunder tank or castle grey skull selling. And multiple large items for GI Joe . 
I don’t know what will happen when all the 80’s and 90’s kids grow up. I think most of the late 90’s kids won’t really be too interested in these brands. Most of the younger crowd are into anime rather than their parents nostalgia, but maybe that will keep some interest in the younger crowds rediscovering things in a similar way that something like dungeons and dragons has caught on. It probably would take something like a newer animated series to get the attention of the younger audience

22,363.  The Dragonfly might reach 23,000 by tonight.
