Should Hasbro Finally Give Us A Punisher War Van For Marvel Legends?!?

Mezco's RUMBLER is fantastic, and even modular capability, front hood opening to show the engine, lights and a battery operated winch, its under $400.00. A Punisher van should be able to be done around the same price (and you can bet there won't be lights). IF they ever did it they could use the made to order model vs. haslob.

Would be dope but I'm not paying 400 for it like they asked for the engine of vengeance LOL.

I think there's a couple of thrusts to make in these kinds of Haslabs:One being the question of do ML collectors really WANT vehicles? Marvel as a brand doesn't really have many iconic vehicles. GI Joe and Star Wars do, but Marvel....I think maybe less than a dozen vehicles can be listed before you start getting really obscure. We've had mostly figures in this line so far, vehicles have essentially been motorcycles and some scooters or hover bikes that's not a lot of range.- -Any vehicle item has to be strategically picked because it HAS TO SHOW value-for-the-dollar.I think the Hellcharger was a weak offering because, of itself, it didn't seem to have much beside some electronics and some effects parts. The figure tiers didn't do much to embellish that. imo, what makes for value is either spectacle or options.--The recent SnowCAT Haslab is a good example: it's not a terriblly showy vehicle, but they enhanced the options with it by added extra kit through the 3 tiers.That makes for better value.--If the vehicle itself cannot be plussed beyond a certain point, then the figure tiers have to bear that burden. Punisher has a van, and lots of guns, and some things that work with guns. With the van, they could add swappable bullet riddled body panels.....or battle-damaged/wounded swappable injury parts for Punisher himself. A Haslab is the moment and opportunity to do this.--One thing that Hasbro is timid about is that these things are NOT toys anymore. They skirt soundly into an adult-realm in both market and use.So some things can be pushed a bit more than they would be with a retailer offering. A bit more blood, a bit more skin, more scare, more "edge". These things ain't "ages three and up", so why not feed the adult demographic? They know the market works.........they just have to feed us.

Yeah, I don't see why they couldn't make a blackbird that is 36-42 inches mostly hollow that could seat 6 to 8 standard legends figures. Need it in that night deep blue like the cartoon. It would have a vertical stand on a hinge that could go level or pitch up like its taking off. I would literally rebuy the same figures i have to fill it.

Because Hasbro loves pay walls... give us a cartoon accurate hoverchair Xavier, a nice Trask figure to go with the new fancy Guyrich. There was an old 1994 toy biz one I still have. I just want it to look more realistic and bigger to fit legends. At that point charge me whatever you want and ill pay it.

I can see more size adjusted Blackbird that is close to Galactus dimensions and plastic weight, there was one 3d printed one, and I definitely wouldn't be surprised if Hasbro team could replicate or something more compact for Haslab in several years, probably with a lot of hollow plastic and some lights and sounds.

Not before they give us a 97' style blackbird that seats 6-8 with a vertical tiltable stand and the same effects coming with the new sentinels ported for the back and bottom for a hovering effect.

that will never happen. In other to get a blackbird it would have to be the size of a room.

I don't think Robbie Reyes or his car was the problem. The price of the car, the fact that it had been redesigned to be legally distinct from a Charger was the problem. These two factors made it slower to take off than they'd hoped, and then it missed the early bird (who in their right mind makes the driver of the car an early-bird unlock?), which made people even less interested...because who wants a car without a driver? Throwing in the Robbie Ghost Rider head and hood to use with an existing Johnny Blaze Ghost Rider figure was too little too late, and a little insulting.A Fantasticar would make a lot of sense if Hasbro Marvel tries another vehicle Haslab.I'm not sure that a Punisher van would fund, but at least if they made it generic, I doubt people would mind. It might fund, but it probably wouldn't go gangbusters. I also think a lot of people who wanted a Punisher van already grabbed one from Ramen, which wouldn't help.

True about the Hell Charger, accurate points, but I also at this moment in time just feel as though people are so soured on that item currently that if they did bring it back somehow people would be up in arms for various reasons, but yes in actuality I don't think it was 100% the offering, more like how it was offered and what was included (price being part of this) , but I always felt as though Robbie & Car was just never big enough or popular enough to warrant a HasLab it was a bold move to begin with, it's not a Sentinel or a Galactus, or even a Giant Man...the first 2 HasLab's were no brainers, they were destined to move peoples needles and get funded, Robbie not even enough people know of, put it this way, if it wasn't a HasLab and had just been released in stores it wouldn't have sold very well, he's just not that big of a character.

As for Punisher I just think his Van isn't big enough of an item, he's obviously leaps and bounds more popular then Robbie, but his Van is not really that big/important enough for most, certainly not HasLab worthy IMO.

Now Fantasticar is, that's basically a member of the FF, it propably shows up in most issues of the comics, since that's how they get around, it's in media beyond the comics, and it's in the new movie...As far as Vehicles go in the Marvel Universe it's likely one of the biggest, up there with X-Men's Blackbird.

With the exposure of FF right now, if they were to do a Vehicle it should be the Fantasticar, only because it really should be the Blackbird...X-Men 97 Blackbird would literally just go bonkers....But it's a massive undertaking, the Fantasticar not as much.

I still think a Daily Bugle HasLab would be the bee's knees of HasLab's like come on...look how well items like that sell, case in point MOTU Eternia.

Not before they give us a 97' style blackbird that seats 6-8 with a vertical tiltable stand and the same effects coming with the new sentinels ported for the back and bottom for a hovering effect.

...communication/surveillance gear--and loads of weapons of all types. Not just 10 or 12, but 30 or 40+. With supporting kit--ammo cans, bipods, scopes etc. The idea behind this is to create the tooling for weapons accessories for the next decade, or further out, and not just for the ML brand, but for others too....

it would be the foundation of a lot other stuuff following, and would be a reason to out-do Ramen Toys.

I love it. I wouldn't be interested in "just a van", but what you describe makes it worth it. I also collect GI Joe so there is a lot of crossover appeal with a street level character loaded with tech and guns. Especially now that Legends is getting a lot better with their firearms sculpts and paint deco.

Honestly I bet if they did a Punisher Van HasLab, unlike the "who really likes that guy that much" Robbie and his Car, Frank and his Van would get funded.

I have a hard time thinking anyone is interested in seeing that Car of Robbie's pop back up in any way at this point.

- I don't do Vechicles myself so this is moot, but yes cool if they did it for anyone. They should if they are going to do a vechile do a Fantasticar HasLab this year.
