I’ve been saying a Classified X-30 Conquest is way more feasible than a Skystriker, which would just be too large to be useful. An X-30 would still be compact enough to be flown around and played with. It’s an iconic looking vehicle and unique to the brand as well.
NO WAY!!!!
Skystriker all the way!!!! 🤣
I remember Lenny talking about how he did a layout, I think with cardboard, of a Classified Skystriker and his daughter was able to lie down inside the framing. Then in another stream I think he mentioned the rough size and it was huge, not counting the wings being flared out. I think there has been enough talk from Lenny that it doesn't seem feasible for the near term. Maybe if the Classified Haslabs keep killing it they may decide to do one one day.
The Conquest is probably the best option. Depending on how a Rattler (if that is the next Haslab) does and what, if anything, they do to address space issues (folding wings?), I could see the Conquest being the next Joe air vehicle Haslab. Though not necessarily the next Joe Haslab. The dimensions should be similar to the Rattler, or rather the wingspan should be the same, if not a little less. Again if foldable wings become a thing then I could see the Conquest easily making it into the Haslab sphere.
One month to go.......

To put the size in perspective, a 1/12 scale plane based on a F-14 Tomcat , if it were even remotely to scale, would be 1 and 2/3 feet longer than a *1/6* scale Ecto-1. The Skystriker would be about as long as a Detolf shelf is tall.
It's just never going to happen logistically.
Well, the Skystriker wasn't true scale anyway, so I doubt they need to worry about making it accurate scalewise to an F-14. Someone did 3d print their own Skystriker and it was huge. I think people asking for a Classified Skystriker or Night Raven just aren't being realistic.
Always loved the X-30 Conquest, so I'll campaign for that being the only Haslab Joe plane. Would pair well sizewise with a Rattler. They'd be large but still manageable.
I think they could do a Skystriker as long as Galactus is tall. X-30 is cool. I’d prefer the Skystriker.
Thwipp!
Haslab “spoilers” are supposedly out there, the source is pretty reliable. I won’t say more in case someone doesn’t want to know until the official reveal.
Disappointed. Oh well. I’ll reserve buying decision till I see the actual offering.
Thwipp!
Well for those who want to know, here is what the "leak" says. Take it with a grain of salt for now, but as was mentioned the leaker has a credible history with previous Haslabs.
Spoiler tag of course:
Tier One would be a Cobra Paratrooper with parachute.
Tier Two would be Cobra ground crew. Doesn't specify anything, but probably a Ramp Rat like with the Skystriker.
Tier Three would be Strato-Viper Raven. This was the female Strato-Viper that was trapped with Slipstream on that Cobra island base.
Sticker sheet with the usual and a fairly interesting "Pin Up" styled Baroness.
Possible light up blast effects
So if true there are some interesting, and fun, choices. The leak is a little light on details and no mention of accessories/missiles/bombs or features. However it is a leak, and looks like it might have been from earlier in the design process. So a lot could have changed. If true though it would mean outside of Wild Weasel (who wasn't mentioned in the leak, but c'mon) there is only one other "named" character who is probably a good fit for the Haslab since she is probably not a character who would sell well at retail.
So close......just over a week......oh the wait.....
Okay that’s not as bad as I was hearing.
I like those tiers.
Excited again.
Thwipp!

That all sounds pretty good. I bet the paratrooper is coming with a red mask to match the old box art, so he can serve as a gunner. I also like the idea of Cobra ground crew. I even like that the tier I'm least interested in is the last tier. All shaping up pretty nicely.
I was hearing all new plane that looked like the Night Raven but smaller due to the picture showing dual jet thrusts too close together for Night Raven. I just had flashbacks of all the crap that blew up in our faces regarding the Rancor. I didn’t want to see a crap show again. I became disappointed. I think the leaked stuff unlike the Cantina is really rudimentary images. The image could be just about anything. I don’t think it’s an all new plane now.
Thwipp!
The leaker on Reddit said he just cobbled together existing pictures to have a visual for the leak because it was all a verbal thing or something, so I wouldn't read into the picture at all.

Got me!
