  • SDCC 2024 Hasbro G.I. Joe HasLab announcement of the Cobra Rattler Ground Attack Jet with Wild Weasel

    Revealed at SDCC 2024 and planned for release in 2025 should the campaign be successful is this HasLab Cobra Rattle Ground Attack Jet project. The Rattler will come with Wild Weasel pilot and needs 9000 backers to go into production - with the backing window open until the 9th of September 2024. As is usual form the Rattler also features stretch goals with Cobra Airborn Squadron patches available if the project gets to 11k and additional figures of the Rattler Gunner at 14k, and Baroness at 18k. Read the full press release below G.I. JOE Classified Series Cobra Rattler Ground Attack Jet With Wild Weasel Action Figure (HASBRO | Ages 14 and Up | Approx. Retail Price: $324.99 | Campaign Start: July 25 at 8pm ET; Backers Needed: 9,000) This crowdfunded project will run from July 25th, 2024, to 11:59PM ET on September 9th. If successful, the project is expected to begin shipping in Fall 2025. *Limit of 5 per customer. Destro’s Journal – July 25th, 2024 Once again, I have exceeded my own brilliance designing a masterpiece of aeronautic innovation sure to dominate the skies in our escalating arms race with the Joe forces. It’s my wickedest weapon yet, you know… And yet again our beloved Commander has squandered our current resources in another inane scheme necessitating a recruitment drive to secure the proper funding for production. Our vaunted Cobra Airborne will be staffed by any fool with the means to contribute to our cause. Mercifully, my designs are so superior that a trained ape could successfully pilot the craft. [N.B. – Speak to Mindbender about progress of Operation: Wild Blue Monkey] My plans have been passed along to HasLab who will initiate production of our 6-inch scale Cobra Rattler Ground Attack Jet if the campaign reaches 9,000 backer orders before midnight on September 9th. If the campaign proves successful, I envision the skies darkening beneath waves of aircraft that we anticipate will take flight for delivery in Fall 2025. Nose to tail, our Cobra Rattler measures 33.53” (851.78MM) long, over 2 and half feet. Wheels down, it stands 9.88” (250.9MM) tall with a wingspan of 32.04” (357.71MM) wide. A truly astounding achievement of design and manufacture. In my designs I endeavored to be cognizant of the space limitations such a craft could present for those hoping to house a squadron of Cobra Rattlers. Not every locale can support a full runway or hangar for storage. The wings assuredly possess the ability to manually pivot for VTOL (Vertical Take-off and Landing) posing of the jet. In addition, I have introduced the new capability to fold the wings upright when the release is depressed. That feature reduces the wingspan by half minimizing it to a mere 15.26” (387.73MM) when no ordnance is present. The upright folded wings increase the overall height to 13.96” (357.22MM), ideal for shelf-storage alongside your HasLab H.I.S.S. fleet. Each Cobra Rattler jet secured by backing the HasLab also includes a Classified Series action figure of ace Cobra Airborne pilot Wild Weasel with premium deco, detailing, and articulation for poseability. The figure comes with a removable helmet showcasing his never-before-revealed visage. For added storytelling, there’s an additional battle-damaged helmet hearkening back to the rumored strafing run which scarred his face and mouth. A detachable air hose connects his helmet to his flight suit. Also among his pilot kit are flight plans, target coordinates, and a weapon accessory. Wild Weasel is the ideal flight commander to challenge the Joes for air superiority. At each pilot’s disposal is a vast array of armaments to pound the Joe forces to rubble. 12 removable pylons attach under the wings offering dog bone connections to customize your jet’s weapons loadout. Choose from: 2 Sistrum Cluster Bombs with visible bomblets 2 70MM Precision-Guided Rocket Launchers 2 AEA-56 Quick Thrust Short-Range Missiles 2 EO-118 Electro Optical Renegade Missiles 2 Thermonuclear Bombs 2 Bomb Racks which hold 6 total PL-MI84 Unguided Bombs But no Cobra Rattler would be complete without its Rattle. The manual thumb wheel rotates the muzzle of the Kerry CDV-9B “Jawbreaker” Nose Cannon providing a cacophony of 30MM fire To simulate the thunderous results produced by the Cobra Rattler rocketing through the sky or its destructive munitions, the Campaign’s base offering includes blast effects in varying sizes usable throughout the Classified Series line: 2 Large Blast Effects with a 6.3MM peg and a side dog bone connection which can attach to the back of the engines or missile accessories or one of the dog bone ports 2 Medium Blast Effects with a 6.3MM peg 2 Small Blast Effects with a 2.5MM peg which can attach to the “Jawbreaker” Cannon and the Turret Guns 2 Small Blue Laser Beams with a 2.5MM peg My undeniable genius encompasses not only the design of the Cobra Rattler itself, but also the multiple means of exhibiting it. The base offering of each vehicle includes a gorgeous multipart transparent Display Stand measuring 7.64” (194MM) high x 11.34” (288.02.MM) deep x 7.08” (179.55MM) wide. The tapered attachment block enables posing the jet taking off, dive-bombing, or banking. Remove the attachment to position your Cobra Rattler flying level. Along either side of the stand are 8 total dog bone pegs to pose missile or bomb accessories in flight, or for simple storage. The sliding drawer of the base offers additional capability for stowing armaments or blast effects. I’ve little doubt we shall receive more than sufficient backer orders to successfully initiate production on our Cobra Rattler. To incentivize mass production at HasLab, however, we are including Unlock Tiers with supplementary enhancements to the base offering should higher order levels be achieved. 9,000 Backer Orders to fully fund the Cobra Rattler with Wild Weasel Action Figure 11,000 Backer Orders to unlock Cobra Airborne Squadron Patches 14,000 Backer Orders to unlock the Cobra Rattler Gunner Action Figure 18,000 Backer Orders to unlock the pilot Baroness Action Figure You can find all the SDCC 2024 news at our Conventions Newsfeed.

Check out our direct news feed for more action figure news, reviews, and store reports About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
