So far, the HasLab SkyStriker's story is one of beating the expectations. First there was the sudden influx of sponsors to not only put the project over the line, but in the final hours it was able to hit a few of its stretch goals. Second was the surprise inclusion of additional figures beyond those secondary goals, including an O-Ring Cobra Commander. Right now, it is months prior to HasLab's original promise to ship them out sometime in "Spring of 2023", yet in the deep of winter, GI Joe fans are widely reporting receiving their shipments.
FedEx informs me mine are set for delivery before end of day today, and I'm excited.
The reviews have thus far been positive, though I've yet to see one exhaustive critique of it as of yet, though that sort of review tends to be relatively rare compared to the more glowing social media show-and-tells. There are some early concerns voiced in Facebook Groups about problems with Scarlett's crossbow not being fully formed in the injection molder, so we'll see how bad that problem is, long with any others.
Hasbro has put out a release video and an "official unboxing" of a trade-show sample.

It's a good watch and better than previous showings I've seen by this duo. Most notably is around the twenty minute mark where Emily announces future projects including a new "Joe troop-builder pack" and Lenny comments that it is "loaded" with stuff, along with new Classified releases.
Update:
I've received both orders, and have gone through them and not seen some of the issues other peoples have been seeing. I will likely do a review at some point, there's a lot of them out there now, though.
