Hasbro Haslab G. I. Joe Classified Series Cobra Rattler Ground Attack Jet MISB
Joe Classified Series Cobra Rattler Ground Attack Jet, G14275L00, all tiers unlock, Brand New Factory Sealed Still In Brown Mailer Box. 6-INCH SCALE SET AGAINST THE VASTNESS OF THE SKY. Nose to tail, our Cobra Rattler measures 33.53 (851.78MM) long, over 2 and half feet. Wheels down, it stands 9.88" (250.9MM) tall with a wingspan of 32.04" (813.77MM) wide. A truly astounding achievement of design and manufacture.
KEEP THE WINGS LEVEL AND TRUE. In my designs I endeavoured to be cognizant of the space limitations such a craft could present for those hoping to house a squadron of Cobra Rattlers.
Not every locale can support a full runway or hangar for storage. The wings assuredly possess the ability to manually pivot for VTOL (Vertical Take-off and Landing) posing of the jet.
In addition, I have introduced the new capability to fold the wings upright when the release is de-pressed. That feature reduces the wingspan by half minimizing it to a mere 15.26 (387.73MM) when no ordnance is present. The upright folded wings increase the overall height to 13.96 (357.22MM), ideal for shelf-storage alongside your HasLab H. KEEP THE NOSE OUT OF THE BLUE. Entry to the cockpit comes via the stowable boarding ladder with foot peg which slides out of the fuselage.The rear of the two-part canopy hinges up granting access to the artificial snake-skin pilot seat, state-of-the-art controls, and illuminated Heads-Up Display (HUD). The cockpit which can accommodate most Classified Series figures features a 3-point harness, articulated control stick, and throttle. DOWN WE DIVE, SPOUTING OUR FLAME FROM UNDER.
At the push of a single button, you can control the lighting features of the Cobra Rattler, turning on landing lights, the cockpit instrument panel display, as well as the separate Gunner Turret HUD. It also illuminates the cockpit Damage Warning Indicator and flick-ering battle damage as revealed by the swappable armour hull plating. THE BRAVE WHO SERVE ON HIGH. Each Cobra Rattler jet secured by backing the HasLab also includes a Classified Series action figure of ace Cobra Airborne pilot Wild Weasel with premium deco, detail-ing, and articulation for poseability. The figure comes with a removable helmet showcasing his never-before-revealed visage. For added storytelling, there's an addition-al battle-damaged helmet hearkening back to the rumoured strafing run which scarred his face and mouth. A detachable air hose connects his helmet to his flight suit. Also among his pilot kit are flight plans, target coordinates, and a weapon accessory. Wild Weasel is the ideal flight commander to challenge the Joes for air superiority. VALIANT HANDS BLASTED THE WORLD ASUNDER.At each pilot's disposal is a vast array of armaments to pound the Joe forces to rubble. 12 removable pylons attach under the wings offering dog bone connections to customize your jet's weapons loadout. 2 x Sistrum Cluster Bombs with visible bomblets. 2 x 70MM Precision-Guided Rocket Launchers. 2 x AEA-56 Quick Thrust Short-Range Missiles.
2 x EO-118 Electro Optical Renegade Missiles. 2 x Bomb Racks which hold 6 total PL-MI84 Unguided Bombs. But no Cobra Rattler would be complete without its Rattle.
The manual thumb wheel rotates the muzzle of the Kerry CDV-9B "Jawbreaker" Nose Cannon providing a cacophony of 30MM fire. AT'EM NOW, GIVE'EM THE GUN.
Its bomb and missile accessories give the Cobra Rattler the clear Ground Attack advantage, however, I'd be remiss in not providing our aircraft some means of engaging in dogfight combat. The Gunner Turret features a hinged canopy, 3-point harness, illuminated targeting HUD, and articulated control stick. The turret of the Twin 20MM Multiple-Fire Cannon accessories rotates 360 degrees, and the barrels pivot up and down in unison enabling a Gunner to strafe enemy combatants with ease and deadly precision. ZOOMING TO MEET OUR THUNDER. To simulate the thunderous results produced by the Cobra Rattler rocketing through the sky or its destructive munitions, the Campaign's base offering includes blast effects in varying sizes usable throughout the Classified Series line.
2 x Large Blast Effects with a 6.3MM peg and a side dog bone connection which can attach to the back of the engines or missile accessories or one of the dog bone ports. 2 x Medium Blast Effects with a 6.3MM peg. 2 x Small Blast Effects with a 2.5MM peg which can attach to the "Jawbreaker" Cannon and the Turret Guns. 2 x Small Blue Laser Beams with a 2.5MM peg.OFF WITH ONE HELLUVA ROAR! To improve upon the ease of takeoff and landing, I have instructed the HasLab designers to install a ventral release button. When depressed, the spring-loaded landing gear releases and lowers the wheels into place in a locked position. The functional wheels allow forward and reverse taxiing.
For takeoff, manually retract each strut of the landing gear individually. THE RAINBOW'S POT OF GOLD. The exquisite detail and craftsmanship inherent in the Cobra Rattler evince themselves with several access panels that reveal its inner-workings. The aforementioned port-side battle-damaged plating readily swaps with an unmarred panel to meet your display and posing desires. Starboard side, a hinged panel reveals the Jawbreaker's mechanisms and ammunition detail.
An additional removable ladder affixes to either wing granting a posed figure access to the hinged engine cowlings and the turbofan engine detail beneath. Marvel at the technological superiority of the M. Industries-designed manually-spinning fans, compressors, turbines, and the combustion chamber. CLIMBING HIGH INTO THE SUN. My undeniable genius encompasses not only the design of the Cobra Rattler itself, but also the multiple means of exhibiting it. The base offering of each vehicle includes a gorgeous multipart transparent Display Stand measuring 7.64" (194MM) high x 11.34" (288.02. Mm) deep x 7.08 (179.55MM) wide. The tapered attachment block enables posing the jet taking off, dive-bombing, or banking. Remove the attachment to position your Cobra Rattler flying level. Along either side of the stand are 8 total dog bone pegs to pose missile or bomb accessories in flight, or for simple storage.The sliding drawer of the base offers additional capability for stowing armaments or blast effects. OFF WE GO INTO THE WILD BLUE YONDER. I've little doubt we shall receive more than sufficient backer orders to successfully initiate production on our Cobra Rattler. To incentivize mass production at HasLab, however, we are including Unlock Tiers with supplementary enhancements to the base offering should higher order levels be achieved.
