My TRU hs a bunch of renegade figures but the cartoony look is not appealing to me. I prefer figures with more real-life likeness. Am I out of luck till the next movie comes to find those in stock anywhere?

Keep an eye out; many TRU have been restocking Pursuit of Cobra(POC) an older line. That's most likely what you are looking for. No cartoony feel, much more realistic, and some of the best modern figures ever.

Although it is true that the renegades figures are from the new cartoon, i thought hasbro did an excellent job of making the renegades figures look NOT cartoony. The head sculpts and equipment and outfits look like the rest of the other lines and fit in quite well. If you take a Law & order figure and Lifeline and put them next to each other, other than the package for one of em saying renegades and one not, you would not be able to know who was cartoon and who wasnt. That being said, if you really feel the renegades figs are "cartoony" then like others have said look out for Pursuit of cobra figs, which are popping up again, they are perfect. Although i have to say there are some real "gems" in the renegades line too, and they will fit in with the POC figs as one big awesome G i joe family, lol. |

Why not buy customs? There are a lot of customizers that will build and paint any figures you want, they can even use your ideas to do so.

Buy the POC line. Easily one of the best sublines in years.

Aside from the packaging art, I don't see the retail Renegades figures anymore "animated" than many of the early 25th figures.

I agree. After I made this post, I went to TRu and picked up the few Renegade figures they had, not bad, definitely not as bad as the Retaliation figures I have anyway.
