I am officially calling this Retro Stalker my "Ultimate" Stalker:
The colors, head and figure proportions are great. The head works well with the POC buck too. You just can't push it down all the way: The head is ok on the terrible Club Jammer buck:

Wave 5 predictions/speculation:
It seems to me that this Retro line is focusing more towards the Cartoon and it's iteration of the characters while displaying them on the classic cards. With that in mind, I feel that any characters we see next will have been featured prominently in the show, especially the early seasons. So I figure we will see one of the following: -Gung-Ho -Flint -Shipwreck -Snowjob -Dusty -Alpine -Bazooka (perhaps a two pack with Alpine if the line continues) -Quick Kick -Barbeque -Footloose (which would be so cool to get) -Airtight Cobra: -Major Blood -Snow Serpents -Televiper -Crimson Guard -Tomax and Xamot (two pack) Vehicles: The feel that the next will be a Joe vehicle to balance the scale, but here are a few of both: -Vamp with Clutch -Ram with Breaker (but I wouldn't mind -Sharc with Deep Six -Dragonfly with Wild Bill (perhaps too big/expensive for this line) -Zartan with his Swamp ski (I think this is a perfect fit for this line, as it is a small scale vehicle to produce with a prominently featured character from the cartoon, and they can charge as much as the fang. We would probably get a repack of that terrible mini glider from the 25th Zartan). -Trouble Bubble with Televiper -Stinger with Cobra Driver I am certain I have missed or forgotten a few, so please correct me and add to this list. Also, you will notice that my list is pre 1986 when the cartoon really ramped up and many different characters were featured in the stories. I kept this focus on the early seasons, because the releases thus far have been on early seasons/episodes. I feel that the 1986 line may be saved for pumping new interest into the line when they see a slump with interest or sales.

Thanks 46Z, appreciate it.
While I like the POC CT, I’ve never been a fan of that ill fitting 25th webgear on that SV torso. The retro webgear works better and adds a bit with the shoulder padding. My guess is AVAC may stock both webgears soon - perhaps when his store reopens later this summer. |

Personally, I would love to see the VMPII/Ninja Cruiser vehicle in classic Stinger colors and the 4-missle Stinger weapons system. I think the 25th VAMP vehicle was too small for 25th figures let alone 50th to Retro figures. Jason |

Awesome! I had been wanting to see that. Any chance you can snap a pic with the webgear on the 25th Trooper as well?

My guess is AVAC may stock both webgears soon - perhaps when his store reopens later this summer. I hope so too, as this Trooper has too many issues for my liking. In addition to the issues others have already mentioned, I think his eyes look a little close together (he looks 100x better with a marauder head) and his legs seem too close together at the hips, which in conjunction with his over-sized feet, contributes to his overall doofy proportions. Dig the helmet and the webgear a lot though.

Wow, the new harness is better. How long before someone starts reproing that?

This isn't the same as what the one guy was saying about the Classified line, that because Hasbro has pics of certain Joes and Cobras on the GIJoe website that it was the line up for future Classified releases?
