Sarge is going to be a trainwreck. He should just be a repaint of Retaliation wave 1 Roadblock, like everybody used for their customs. Or the Ninja Dojo really, since it didn't have the backpack straps on it. But that just makes too much sense for the club. It'll end up being a Night Adder repaint, with the tank top painted on. And using Serpentor's head because it's the most bland thing possible.

Just give it to us headless and as the freebie give us his head.

This has potential to be a disaster though. Can you imagine the nerd rage if Smasher ends up a dud.

I am still very much holding onto hope that they are deliberately telling us that's it's not Sgt Slaughter's likeness but the likeness of previously released foreign figure code name Sgt Smasher. It makes sense that they would have to cover themselves from any potential claim against them..

But that's not how likenesses work. Smasher makes sense if they can't use the name, which doesn't make sense, as it's still called Slaughter's Marauders (although I guess Hasbro still owns that particularly IP). The head was created in likeness of Sgt Slaughter. That doesn't mean that the head is only using the likeness if its used for a character called Sgt Slaughter.

If the laws were that easy to circumvent, we would have had an updated Fridge Perry called Coldbox Terry.

Like others have said this Smasher thing is going to be a train wreck if they don't use Slaughter's likeness.

Actually these things happen a lot more than you may think and it's small loop holes like that that people use to get around TM and Copyrights all the time. My point was more that they would have to say that it isn't based of him for plausible deniability. I mean it obviously work in 1990s with the original Sgt Smasher figure which is just a an exact copy of a Slaughter figure and again that same head was used for Super Cop etc right into the 2000s. Yes I get that these are international figures and it's a lot harder to control international issues than that of state aside. But the original molds used was is in fact based on Mr Remus and Hasbro a US company licensed it out to these foreign manufacturers. Agian this is me holding onto hope So stop crushing my dreams Rey;)

Honestly though I own like ten of those Ebay head cast and two build a brawl heads still so as long as we get the RB build in Marauders colors I'll make it work.

Agreed because the mock up looks awkward.

Using the Retaliation Roadblock sculpt would be very generous to the old Sarge..
