View Poll Results: Is the Wave 4 Law & Order the closest we'll ever get to an '87 ARAH update? | |||
Yes. It's hard to see Hasbro repainting him. | 37 | 33.94% | |
No. I think they'll repaint the Wave 4 figure in ARAH colors. | 24 | 22.02% | |
Who cares? He's way better than the ARAH figure. | 45 | 41.28% | |
Isn't Law and Order a TV show? | 3 | 2.75% | |

Received my Wave 4 shipment from my Pile of Loot. Man, it's sweet. Only thing I haven't torn into yet is Law and Order. Just can't decide is this is THE modern era update. I'm keeping my shelves straight up ARAH style, so I can't decide. Some parts are so strong that they override other parts, but it's touch and go.
Help me fellas. Who else is thinking this guy is as close as we'll get to an 87 ARAH update? |

Considering the 30th line is almost as good as dead and the Retaliation line is already being lined up, chances are you're looking at the best chance for the next few months if not a year.

Its an awesome figure either way. The only thing that isn't fairly close is the shirt. I can definitely live with it.

Either way, The helmet is what really saves him. It's so distinct to both figures. I just really wish the shirt was red. Or even a maroon or brown. |

Hell, Order's a serious upgrade from the original, and while I would've loved a little more classic look for the figure, it's damn well close enough for me. Great figure. |

I thought it was going to be close enough, but after opening Lifeline and Sci-Fi ... damn, it's hard not to demand perfection from every next ARAH update. Passing on the Joe 7-pack for this reason.

I'm sorry but the first Law and order is goofy as all hell. this is the perfect update to someone who is suppose to be an MP. Open him and enjoy him, I did and never looked back. Plus he's got a .44 magnum so you can play Dirty harry with a Cobra Viper.

I can live with the legs -- I actually like them. But it seems like it's missing one or two elements to make it "close enough." |

It's a brand-new mold and it's uncommon for Hasbro not to get mileage out of their molds so I'd say the chances are good a repaint closer to his classic colors is reasonably likely.
Please bear in mind I also made the same prophecy for Alpine and, well...

Is he a new mold? Legs are reused, right? Not sure about the upper arms. The torso and head are new.
