Crowdfunded USS Flagg? Would You Support A HasLab Flagg Project?

Posted on April 5, 2018 at 11:15 am by xerofall under G.I. Joe 25th Anniversary, G.I. Joe 30th Anniversary, G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary, G.I. Joe Various, G.I. Joe Vintage

With the huge success of Haslab’s first outing, the Vintage Collection Jabba’s Sail Barge (The Khetanna,) meeting roughly 175% of their goal to the tune of nearly four and a half million dollars, it’s safe to say Hasbro will go back to that well in the future. With this in mind, what would you honestly be willing to pay for a new Flagg?
