Cobra Rattler:

19,694 / 9,000 (+1,764) 218.82% of funding goal with 1d 18h left.

Well, well, well. Looks like all the fence sitters and lookie-loos are finally jumping on board. It's a bout damn time (haha). Can it reach 25,000??

Glad Baroness is unlocked. I have no desire to keep her as Baroness, maybe get another head to make her a unique character or just keep the helmet on. But I'm hoping it means the Night Raven pilot get made from that mold, as she was one of my favorite one-off characters from the cartoon. Maybe she'll get a name as well.

I would've backed two on the first day but when I saw the patches as the 1st Tier, I initially backed one. Then the anger set in for that Hasbro's higher ups would do this after all the fan support. I unbacked the one and haven't had any regrets about changing my mind. I have 2 HISS tanks still boxed and one Dragonfly a coming. This is enough for me and one day I will have the energy to set it all up. I'm just lazy right how. 😆

Okay time to get on it you last minute fence sitters. Crunch time is here and it is now or never!!! hahaha

Nice finish coming up today. I think we might fall short of 25,000 backers because the last hours are probably going to result in somewhere between 2,000 - 2,500 backers (my guesstimate). Still a strong finish when only a couple days ago we were still waiting for Baroness to unlock.

23,176 backers and just under 8 hours to go. Is this thing going to beat the Dragonfly? Looks like the final count there was 24,764.

24,152 with just over 4 hours left.

I thought this is where it would end today, but it looks like it could pass 25,000.

How about a behind the scenes video of the Rattler photoshoot!

@shootingthegalaxy Once again you take the product and bring it to a whole other level.   Thanks for this, I'll never have the time to try and be as detailed as you are so I really appreciate seeing this behind the scenes stuff.   At least it gives me some ideas.

Oh and with 2h 20ish minutes left it is at 25,197!!!

It broke 25,000 can the community get it above 26,000??

I'll see in the morning.  Time for sleep.....

I went for it! I was meaning to get to it all day, and almost sent myself to bed without remembering. Probably would have been doing future me, with his lack of money and space, a big favor - but oh well! Bring on the giant plane, I've got a year to figure it out...

Welp, that wraps up another Joe Haslab year. Another great offering on the Joe side. 30 to 50 years from now when this vehicle reaches vintage status in the toy community, I predict a complete set will at least go for double the price or more. But most will not have a compete set because the majority of the original collectors will have misplaced or outright thrown out the tier 1 patches. 

Or by some weird twist of fate that is Toybiz Marvel Legends  Toad level, the patches end up being the most sought after pieces from this set. Lol. 

Time to start conjecturing on 2025.

I'm thinking Mauler.

27301?!

dang.

Thwipp!

I backed the Rattler and haven't been charged for it.  In the past, you'd get charged almost immediately once a HasLab campaign ended.  No email, either.

Has anyone been charged yet?

@leor 50 years from now I fully expect to be drooling into my lap while sitting in my wheelchair watching old Joe cartoons on the "visi-screen" embedded in my eyes.   Plus I'll be 100 so I doubt I'll remember where I put those damn patches.   hahaha

Final update:

26,903 298.92% of funding goal.

So it looks like a couple hundred orders didn't go through after the funding period ended since it dropped below 27,000. Maybe it will go back up a bit in the coming days.

Either way great finish. I didn't think it would make it to 25,000 let alone (basically) 27,000. Now the wait.....
