On the contrary, I think figures that look similar are likely, but I don’t think Hasbro requires HHFF for inspiration to get there. After all, the customs are 80% repainted Hasbro builds.
As far as some of the micro details that HHFF is known for, I do think that’s beyond what Hasbro will give us.
None of this should be interpreted as a slight to HHFF. My reverence for his work is well documented.
But Hasbro has never put a Duke Head on a Flint body. Or Gung Ho lowers on Ret RB legs and knees. That is the "template" that we are talking about. Why would Hasbro completely not consider this? They don't have to tool anything new. Just put together parts that haven't been put together before, and then paint them in V1 colors, which they haven't done with these parts before. IDK. I guess we will have to wait 3 more weeks to find out.

I don’t think this means the line is failing or anything... I think it’s just typical WM shenanigans.
I have never pre-ordered anything from Walmart. Is this common for them to clearance items in stores even though they haven't shipped the pre-orders yet?
