Everyone is all "ooh" and "aahh"-ing over the Snow CAT and I'm just sitting here waiting for my Rattler to ship.

You can do both. Wait for your Rattler to ship while watching the Snowcat reveal on repeat.
 
I watched the video. It was entertaining. I'm going to assume the Weather Dominator will be the next Haslab, especially after that last line.

It looks really nice, and I'm kind of tempted by it. I had a vintage one when I was younger (may still be at my moms house), but I'll probably pass on it. The extra tier figs are decent, but they don't fit in to what I collect when it comes to Joes. I do love all the food accessories, it's pretty hilarious. Had you told me in 2020 that we'd have Classified scale fried eggs in five years, I would have called you a liar.

I'm curious about this as well. No doubt they're going to figure out a way to bring us the MASS Device, too. The Weather Dominator isn't much by itself; value-wise I'd put it somewhere between the HMS and VAMP. Even adding the MASS Device, I'm not sure if that justifies a Haslab. I could see them each being Pulse exclusives around $80-100, so, maybe? If they make it a whole diorama I'd probably be interested, but separately I have next to no interest in either things, personally. So many funner sets and vehicles they could make instead.
 
I feel like the Weather Dominator could feasibly be included as a “Build a Device” type thing with a sequel-series of exclusives to the MASS Device exclusives coming this year. The pieces would obviously be bigger than the MASS elements, but I think it could work pretty easily, and a great way to get stuff like a (pinless) cartoon-colors v1 Roadblock, cartoon-colors v2 Snake-Eyes (prepaint of a retro?) with “Arena of Sport” trident, (pinless) cartoon-style v1 Destro, cartoon-colors Major Bludd (prepaint of retro?), (pinless) cartoon-colors v1 Gung-Ho, and, dare I suggest it, HOODED COBRA COMMANDER??

I too kind of wish they’d try a build-a-weapon with the weather dominator like they did with the 3 3/4” line for the 25th run. Or was that the Mass device? They did both in those multi packs but can’t remember if the WD was just a single pack. In any case, make a series of 2 packs or deluxe figures each with one of the 3 fragments and then maybe a Destro with the command chair and some other goodies as a Pulse exclusive or something as that incomplete set up could be a hard sell for retail when the pieces would be added items in a set.

The MASS device was HUGE so that may need to be a Haslab, even if redesigned to be a bit smaller.
 
Man.. sometimes I let myself forget how fuckin' good the 25A line was for its time.
 
Footloose has to be one of the first Classified figures I've gotten in a long time where I'm displaying him with every accessory he came with. Really great figure.

How are you displaying the rocket launcher? I wanted to display it with the strap crossing his chest, but it’s too tight, and would get in the way of the backpack staying on. So I just have it slung between his back and backpack. It’s not particularly elegant, but it does the trick. I’ve got him holding the M16, stock on his knee as he sits on the ledge in my display.
