Hasbro has just released some updated intel on the Haslab Skystriker!

Hey G.I. Joe fans! We know you have some questions about the Skystriker HasLab. Don’t you worry, because at G.I. Joe HQ (aka The PIT, aka Hasbro’s corporate offices) we really do believe that knowing is half the battle! So we’re going to declassify our intel and drop some more details about this project! Are we more excited about the file cards, which include NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN character content, or the brand-new character art for the retro cardbacks for our amazing new figures?

Why not both?

Don’t forget to back the Skystriker before midnight on December 7th to help support the Joes’ fight against Cobra!

Operation HasLab
Throwback: the early 80s. The hair is high and so is the volume of the music coming out of the boombox speakers. You’ve just discovered the coolest cartoon ever made, G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero. You can’t get enough of it. Will the Joes finally be able to defeat Cobra once and for all?!? You’ll happily help the cause by setting up elaborate missions with your favorite action figures, played out in sandboxes, swimming pools, backyards, and bedrooms. The only thing missing from your epic adventures is the baddest combat jet known to any Joe: the Skystriker. It’s time to fulfill — or relive if you were one of the lucky ones — your childhood dreams.

That’s right. It’s the 21st century now and for G.I. Joe’s first ever HasLab we are bringing the afterburner-level heat and re-issuing the Skystriker with some awesome modern updates and incredible, exclusive unlocks. All to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero. Sure, the Skystriker has been done before (and it’s awesome every time) but never like this. Only with modern technology are we able evolve this classic combat jet by adding the most precise detail and design to bring it from the 80s to the FUTURE. Because the future is now.

The Skystriker isn’t the only incredible item you’ll be able to display in your G.I. Joe collection when you fund this HasLab. You’ll also get two o-ring figures with HasLab exclusive deco – Ace and Wayne Ruthel! The original fighter pilot, Ace, looks just as you remember him in a traditional deco scheme. And Wayne Ruthel has deco designed to call back to the original Skystriker packaging. If these two legendary action figures aren’t enough to blow your mind, we have even more to add!

You’ll be able to unlock up to 3 different tiers with even more exclusively decoed o-ring action figures and accessories, including Scarlett in a flight suit for the first time ever, Rip Cord in Night Force colors, and 2 Pit Crew members to man the runway vehicles. Fund this project today to start fighting for freedom wherever there’s trouble!

A new article over at Inside the Ropes highlights Sgt Slaughter’s road to becoming the first real life G.I. Joe. This is a very interesting read and I highly recommend checking out this awesome story.

When the meeting was done and I got up to leave, I said, ‘I’ll tell you what, gentlemen, my name is Sgt Slaughter and I am the real G.I. Joe. You’re looking at G.I. Joe.’ I gave this little promo and walked away. My attorney said their mouths all dropped open.
