Only if they promise to single card them down the line. But I could do without any version of Heavy Duty honestly.

Yes, I would love to see this, except for one thing...

Wouldn't an exclusive, especially one limited to online retailers, have to be made of repaints and rehashes of existing parts? Hasbro said as much in one of their recent answers (why Cutter's head was Gung-Ho's and not a new sculpt).

I'd love to get one if the parts used fit the characters alright, but I'd be hesitant to get something that was forced just to get the character out there more quickly. I'd much rather wait until after the movie so some of these characters could be made with new parts.

Heck yeah, as long as they were done well. I wouldn't bother if they looked like Crankcase, the upcoming Short Fuze, Leatherneck, etc...

You know, if it wasn't for the hat, Cutter would look fine... Not great, but acceptable. Maybe Hasbro overshot their budget with the little helmets for Wild Bill and Ace.
As for the rules sent down by Hasbro, they do seem incredibly flexible. By this time next year anything is possible.

Definitely, Rip and Cov have always eben major characters and their presence is required to round out the first 3 years of the line.

Put elbow/ankle joints in the wrist & I'm right there with you.
