Update the heck out of Scarlett. Keep the Crimson Guard very classic. Update the Cobra Trooper (which they did). Keep Zartan very classic (which they did). One approach doesn't fit every character. Some warrant a 10% update. Some 50%. I've liked Lenny's design approach overall, and damn, I want to see what new characters he could design! Sometimes those are among the coolest, like Helix and Shadow Tracker.
I agree with a lot of what you are saying. The entire line cannot be perfect vintage interpretations and I do want to see updated interpretations. Retaliation CG does that where the 25th did not.

The problem with your approach, even if you like the individual looks of all the figures (and I'm on record saying that there are a few I absolutely do not like), is that they don't fit together at all. Scarlett does not look right next to Beach Head, Destro, Snake Eyes, the Cobra Trooper, and Baroness. She barely fits with Duke. Her color scheme (and Road Block's too, but I don't own him) is so out of whack that she really does look like she is from an entirely different action figure line (her face is also the most cartoony of the bunch).
You nailed it with the fit factor. The Joe team's uniformity is off.
