I think Wave 2 is great. Not perfect, but an improvement on Wave 1.
There was a lot of speculation as to whether Hasbro could use tooling paid for by the club. I think the new head on RB answers that they cannot.
Not having another suitable headsculpt in the catalog they made one that matched Classified rather than try and make a classic like the club already released. Makes sense.
When the 50th female Cobra Officer was released I heavily criticized the torso sculpt. This was some of the first tooling not done by BFS sculptors and it showed.
That said, it works really well for Scarlett. Since they used that torso that likely meant had to use the same arms. I appreciate that made new gloved hands (way better than the originals hands) - but that also meant they could do the classic long glove for her with the pre-existing forearms.
The new head look's great - I think it's best modern Scarlett head we've gotten. The resolute legs give a taste of just how good the Resolute body would look in classic colors - but I'm fine overall with what's coming.
Destro isn't a total waste as it might appear - the grey on the belt / boots is the Sunbow colors. I loved when they released the Sunbow colors during 25th in the DVD Battle Pack (

). I'm glad to have it now on the 50th sculpt.
All in all really happy and looking forward to what comes next.
