(Brian Brink’s Haslab Tracking Chart)
The Operation Dragonfly Haslab is in its final week and so far, it’s hit the 13,000 backers needed to unlock the Classified Night Force Rip Cord figure. As of writing this, there are less than 800 backers needed to meet the 16,000 backers goal to unlock Classified Jane “Glenda” Mullighan, a more obscure G.I. Joe character that has only been released in Argentina and is a repaint of Scarlett.
To add a bit of motivation for the last week of the campaign, Hasbro has revealed their 19,000 backers stretch goal: Night Force David “Crazylegs” Thomas! Crazylegs comes with a removable helmet, goggles, backpack, and weapons accessories.
Crazylegs was first released in 1987 as a part of the sixth G.I. Joe series. He was discontinued in 1989.
From Hasbro:
Stay the course, soldier – we’re in the final stretch of the G.I. Joe Classified Series HasLab campaign! To expand the ranks of the Joe team, we need recruits with the willingness to jump out of a helicopter into a hot landing zone with nothing more than a rifle, a couple grenades, and some good bad ideas. If OPERATION: DRAGONFLY reaches 19,000 backers before the end of the campaign, all backers receive a G.I. Joe Classified Series Night Force David “Crazylegs” Thomas action figure with removable helmet, goggles, cap, backpack, and weapon accessories.
You may find his penchant for humming classical music annoying when you’re pinned down between enemy fire and a field of anti-personnel mines…then, there’s no sweeter sound than his tunes as Crazylegs comes ducking and weaving through the haze to haul your rear to safety. His contributions as Airborne Infantry and a parachute rigger will prove invaluable to the Joe team. Let’s press onward to victory and unlock that final tier!
While 700+ more backers to unlock Glenda seems doable, it will be an interesting and wild week if the Haslab can get another almost 4,000 backers to unlock Crazylegs. What do you think? Any math nerds out there figure out how many new backers it would need per day? Somewhere between 530-600, right? To track the Haslab progress, click here for Brian Brink’s tracking chart.
