This repaint pack kind of annoys me. Would have been nice if Hasbro had taken the oppotunity to release 5 completely new Resolute figures to the line, quickly upping the number of Resolute out there.

im not a fan of repaints but i think the resolute figures are awsome, i could care less what color they are. i would prefer them to stay blue but the red adds something cool to them as well plus we get a officer which is really cool. i think the new resolute 5 pack is awsome compared to all the other crappy 5 packs we have gotten. the new 5 packs that are coming out are a waste of plastic in my opinion. except for the viper 5 pack. resolute rules!!!

the claim that repaints prevent new figures is so ridiculous but seems to have to be reiterated in every repaint discussion. if Hasbro isn't going to release a new figure either way because a new figure costs more than a repaint, how does releasing a repaint take the slot of a new figure that wasn't going to be made any way? think about it. it costs more to make a new figure, even if it is just a new additional accessory to create the character detail over existing body parts. if Hasbro doesn't want to spend that money for a particular set or a figure to fill out a wave, how does releasing a simple repaint take that spot? it doesn't. |

What bugs me more than anything is when they're *ugly* repaints. I'm not too fond of the red, and I think I would have enjoyed this set more if some of the remaining characters were ones that did not yet exist in the Resolute style. That would have been cool. As things stand, I feel I already have a Resolute Duke, CC, and Trooper.
Some repaints really do work (the Arctic and Desert sets as an example) but there are other repaint sets that I'd rather have - be it a Tiger Force 5-pack with the remaining TF characters we haven't gotten yet, a Python Patrol 5-pack where even duplicates of characters already released wouldn't matter because they are troop builders, or even something like Slaughter's Marauders, Special Missions: Brazil, or Night Force, or a set of "the original Joes" - almost all of whom have had molds made already, so it might be easy to create. |

not a thing, in fact i'd almost bank on it ~ this set just seems like a waste and very, very lazy ~ honestly, it seems more like a Toys R Us 5 pack than a "spearhead" 5 pack like the others have been.
I don't want them to kill Resolute's momentum before it even gets rolling...

I didn't vote because I feel repaints can be good if done right. If a repaint improves a figure's look, then I feel it should be welcomed but if not, then it's a waste of plastic and is basically custom/cannon fodder(like Resolute Torch for example)
