Hasbro -- er, I mean, Cobra Commander has revealed a new HasLab project that he doesn't want you to fund. Or you can. Whatever, doesn't matter to him -- even he admits it's kinda cool, though (no pun intended, at least on my part).
It's the G.I. Joe Snow C.A.T. (Combat All-Terrain) Vehicle!
Here is what the admitted former car salesman himself had to say about it:
The campaign runs through August 14th, with an expected shipping period of late Fall 2026. It requires 8,000 backers to fund, and is well on its way with 5,057 as of this writing.
And I'm writing about it for a few reasons:
1) I had the original toy when I was a kid, and really liked it.
2) I don't collect G.I. Joe Classified (I can barely keep up with Transformers I want these days), but man, this thing looks neat!
3) Funny cartoon snake-man made with the ha-ha's.
4) What made me look at this in the first place: There being a Transformer of some degree of popularity who turns into this very vehicle, so I thought it might have some crossover appeal based on that alone. That was before they broke out the fish, too.
I don't know if any or all of this is going to make it worth $324.99 USD to any of you, but I thought at the very least, you might like to check it out.
With all that said, feel free to talk about this, memories of the original, or even the Energon Decepticon version in the comments below, or over in the "G.I. Joe thread - 09/13/2024: Pulsecon - Dreadnoks, Dogs and Cereal" thread of our forums!
Snow, Joe!
