I like him much batter than the 25th - but that wide lower torso with the skinny jeans gives a mom jeans affect
i don't like the legs used for Crankcase. They are too skinny. It's a way better build than the 25th, but it's not ultimate. I may use the head, and put it on my custom crankcase. Should have just gone full blown Resolute SE for his legs. They are thicker.

Please no!!!

Not 100% - but the lower legs appear new and not the 25th
I think the torso is new.
The chest piece looks molded on. I could be mistaken though. Are the lower legs from Ret. Night viper? I can't tell. They almost look like the legs from that MU Thor looking figure that came with the brown sleeveless leather jacket.

Now Scarlett. There’s no easily translatable well sculpted mold. They could use the Renegades mood and give her pants - and I guess that would work. After seeing quite a few newly sculpted parts on Crankase and HISS driver I think there’s a good chance they do the same for her.
Would anyone not love an ultimate Duke on retro card using the Retaliation Firefly torso?
Yes on the 50th Destro!!!
Maybe they can use the pythons torso with Ren Scarlett thighs and knees, and resolute Scarlett lower legs. Use the Classes head sculpt to scale and you got a winner.
Yes on Duke. Put the 50th head, on a 50th Flint body, paint it V1 colors and your done

If I recall correctly, there was a JoeCon where Mark Weber said that it didn't cost Hasbro any money if they re-released the same figure, same accessories. That looks like what they did here. Good move for Hasbro to quick more water from the GI Joe rock. Good for those that want these.
Me? I'll just enjoy the original versions I have of these figures.
BTW, the guys at Boss Fight must be laughing their asses off that the current design team at Hasbro can't top their designs and keep going back to them.
The only time it doesn't count as "new product" tooling is if they straight re-release a figure that has no changes in paint and/or accessories. All of these would use "New tooling" money as they all have paint tweaks or a missing head( which is the correct one as everyone knows).

Check out the Pursuit of Cobra Hiss Tank. You'll find your update there.
There is no true update for the Awe Striker, but the 50th Foe Striker is close. It comes with some extra parts.
