I really hope so, but I doubt it.
For Star Wars a few years ago, Hasbro cited normal development times of about year to a year and a half. Undoubtedly there are later points in the process where they can (and occasionally even do) go to the extra effort & spend the extra money to intervene and tweak something, just as projects like Baby Yoda / The Child sometimes have unusually rapid development cycles through unusually intensive rushed processes. But it seems to take a lot of pressure to do that, and with reveals in March or April for products coming in Jun or Jul the window was/is likely pretty small too, to say nothing of coronavirus interruptions. I also like Scarlett’s face, and am glad to meet another person who shares that opinion! I would rank the reveals so far as Snake Eyes, Destro, Scarlett, Duke, Roadblock. I am kind of confused that people seem to be reacting more to gold details than face shapes, but to each their own...��. But all the ink spilled on the gold and busier designs makes it even less likely that we’ll see face changes for this wave, IMO. Well, I think my plan will be to just get what I really like, and at this point that's SE, Scarlett, Destro. Yeah, while some of colour choices are not my favorite, I think that's way less important than the actual face sculpts. I think part of the face sculpt issue is they went too realistic for Duke/RB - I'm not saying they should have gone full anime, but what they did sort of hit an uncanny valley of - looks like it was based on a real person, but something just off about it. Maybe because Scarlett is a female, the softer features look better? Although I would say my one complaint with her is maybe she's a bit too pleasant looking - her expression should hint that she's possibly the second toughest Joe. One thing I will say though - they seem to be hitting "non face" sculpts, so I can't wait for Cobra Commander, Storm Shadow, Firefly, Beachhead, Snow Serpent, etc.! |

I will almost certainly be down for all the guys you mention. Based on the package art I am predicting CC, Baroness, Alley Viper, Ninja Viper/Red Ninja/someothername, and Gung Ho as the next wave, probably with CC double packed or a carryover Snake Eyes thrown in. After that I am really hoping for Stalker, Zartan, Firefly, Cobra Soldier, Storm Shadow, Flint, Lady Jaye, and Shipwreck. Rock & Roll and Tunnel Rat too. Bazooka if I can also get Alpine, and Crimson Guard, Snow Serpent, Eels, Bludd, eventually Mindbender, BAT, Serpentor, Slaughter, Beach Head, ‘86 Viper. But after Snake Eyes and Scarlett, my # 1 want is now Stalker, with a face looking like the Sunbow cartoon with the classic mustache...well, that and additional versions of Snake Eyes more closely based on his 82-83 and 85 appearances! |

EDIT: noticed the: length is 7' 6", so my answer for length is closer to books at 11.25 ft 1.5 = 150% 4" x 1.5 = 6" 7.5' = 7' 6" 7.5' x 1.5 = 11.25' Last edited by Stormtrooper12; 04-11-2020 at 09:13 PM.. |
