They hopefully put some work into making it look less like a cockpit glued to a barge.

Yeah that might be a problem, but i expect it will be only a small one, especially where Hasbro is concerned. As long as they make bank, they don't care where it comes from.o.supreme wrote:So I just got an email about a new Haslab project and got super excited.....Turns out it is Marvel Legends Galactus.

Also of possible concern is running 2 Haslabs at once. I'm sure there is some crossover in Marvel and Transformers collectors. I hope this doesn't force some fans to make a choice to support one and not the other.

Of course. Enough to cater to all those legions of new fans that came about due to exposure from two comic book arcs (eight years ago) in the past 32 years. Surely he's more famous than Optimus at this point![]()

The Razor Crest was HasLab too and significantly smaller than the Sail Barge.AllNewSuperRobot wrote:You don't seem them pull things like this with the Star Wars fanbase.
They released the Sail Barge and that's it.

The context to that quote comes from the second part of that line...

Personally, in light of what Super7 have done with pricing of the Thundertank. I think on-demand high end vehicles for lines such as Star Wars, works through HasLab/Crowd Funding. But to me, regular sized figures shouldn't need it. Fan polls have worked well enough for such things in the past. I don't really know what has changed now?

Easy, because hasbro doesn't think this would sell at retail. We can try to argue otherwise but it will be in vain.

A poll figure will still have to go to retail. Haslab cuts out the retail aspect (and the shelfwarming / underselling).

HasTak already did that. Star Saber won and MP-24 was born. Being well received and selling enough to still be relatively rare now. Also make no mistake, MP-24 was not a regular retail release.
Which is why a Star Saber HasLab figure would be a waste of crowd funding.
Because they already know there is enough of a remaining Victory fanbase to sell to.
That's why I still think this has to be something Bigger. The Gestalts, Galaxy Shuttle etc As for collector/fan demand for Liokaiser. I think they would be all in favour of one that isn't a bizarre retool of another set.
