IMO, Scarlett is near perfect. She just needs those lower arms changed to 25th. That's my only complaint about her. I would like a nice well made Ninja Force or v4 (2004/Spy Troops) Scarlett now.
I like her in Green over Blue.
Roadblock on the other hand, ehhhh. I don't like the armor. I don't know why they couldn't just paint his tank top on him and give him the black webgear of 25th. It's enough to pass on him.
Destro is great for people that didn't get 50th.
I agree. With the exception of Destro, the other two figures in this line will need some customizing to fix. Scarlett v. 1 basically looks like leotard over a body suit, which is what that smooth Cobra female officer/Shooter body also looks like. The fact that they painted the v-neck and red shoulder piece shouldn't be any shock. Without using the actual 25th body, that's what they would have done to any other Scarlett figure to get that v. 1 look.
Roadblock, to me, is the biggest disappointment. I don't like the shrunken "Classified" head, the green vest, swivel-articulated wrists, single-hinged knees, or non-articulated ankles. I will definitely borrow from HHFF's customs and use those extra Gung-Ho lower legs to customize this figure. I will probably buy one of those resin case TF Roadblock heads off ebay also. I'm still waiting to see this figure loose without the vest to see how they painted the tank top.
Finally, for Destro, I think even those (us) who have the 50th Destro, this will still be an awesome figure to purchase. The color scheme is slightly different with the Retro Destro painted in more of a Sunbow cartoon look. I am hoping they resolved the issues with the wobbly legs though.
