I am so tired of all these repaints. Hasbro has become 100% lazy. First they kill the 25th and Modern line. And make dumb ROC figures. Now they just repaint figures we have tons of already. Luke Tatooine...all over again. Com'on Hasbro!!! Wet-Suit...Wet-Suit.....you're killing me!!!

Hasbro has been repainting since day one back in 1982.

Hasbro and pretty much every toy company out there does repaints, it's been going on for years and it's not going to stop now. Brand new molds aren't cheap and releasing it once doesn't help either. Repaints & franken-joes are what makes up for the cost of a new mold. I hate repaints myself but there's been that rare occasion when it's better than the original release. Just do like the rest of us, 'Don't buy it, if you don't like it'. It's all about dollars & cents like any other business.
I wonder if kids complain about the same Batman mold that's been used for years and just repainted differently? |

Very nice O-13 collection there Sam, looks very minty and I for one am hoping for less repaints and more new characters at some point, more variety of figures at least.

Sure in the beginning when you were a kid it was acceptable as we did not caught on those things.
26 yrs laters is just straight bs! But you guys keep loving those repain...I mean ROC figs.
