My Out-of-Body Experience Getting a H.I.S.S. HasLab

By Destro Designs and Viper Den Studios There are a lot of people who dislike HasLab’s for a few reasons that I actually understand: the price point, the upfront cash, the year-long wait, and the exclusive, snooty feeling of elitism. I get it. Truly, I do. But… they’re so motherf***ing awesome. Just totally awesome. When I started collecting Classifieds in 2024, it was only the H.I.S.S. and Dragonfly.

Exploring Golobulus: A Unique GI Joe 1987 Movie Character and Figure
