The Cobra Airborne is readying for launch but needs your assistance to fund its crowning achievement of aviation ingenuity. M.A.R.S. Industries, in concert with HasLab, has developed a 6-inch scale G.I. Joe Classified Series Cobra Rattler Ground Attack Jet. In order to initiate our takeoff sequence, we are in need of 9,000 backer orders by the end of the Campaign. For each HasLab vehicle you pledge, you’ll receive a Cobra Rattler jet along with an action figure of Flight Commander Wild Weasel featuring premium deco, detailing, and articulation for poseability.

This crowdfunded project will run from July 25th, 2024, to 11:59PM ET on September 9th. If successful, the project is expected to begin shipping in Fall 2025.

Skinny & General Hawk have come across a really cool find by way of the Deviant Art Gallery of Mr. Ross Hughes. Ross worked on the colors for the cart art shown on the 2016 assortment and shared his work via the aforementioned gallery. What’s really cool to see is not only characters that were released, but those that weren’t. We’ve mirrored some of those images here, but make sure to check out the gallery linked above for the full assortment. Included in the images are –

  • Action Man – AM is depicted in two different styles; One Arctic, one urban.
  • Snow Serpent – Perhaps a new build? The 2 shown remind me of the TRU Exclusive Snow Serpent and the Snow Serpent Officer
  • Cobra Officer – Although we did receive a female Cobra Officer, this one sports a short hair style and a red Cobra logo.
  • Shooter – In olive green rather than the black we received at retail.
  • Stinger Driver – There’s 3 different versions; 2 that appear similar other than in face mask style and one that has an uncanny resemblance        to the Rise of Cobra Ice Viper
  • Wild Weasel – We’ve recently seen samples of Wild Weasel so it’s great to see what could have been his potential artwork.
  • Rock ‘n’ Roll – The Joe heavy machine gunner is seen here in what appears to be art based on the concept vault version that we’ve all                  drooled over in the past.

Who knows what the future holds for these offerings, but fingers crossed that we see some, if not all of them in 2017! What are your thoughts on Ross’ gallery? Sound off after the break!

Wild Weasel Cobra Rattler Pilot

File Name: Classified
Military Speciality: Ground Support Pilot
Birthplace: Classified

Wild Weasel cut his teeth in the bush wars of South America and Africa during the last decade. His knowledge of close support aircraft ranges from jury rigged civilian conversions to ultra state of the art flying weapons platforms. A mouth injury inflicted during a strafing run is rumoured to be the cause of the characteristic sibilance in his speech pattern.

Though reputed to be the best pilot in the Cobra Army he is never without his Cobra parachute; because you never know when those G.I. Joe planes will shoot you down.
