How much of an improvement were the Field Variants, for you?

I got both versions of each, but these are the ones I keep in my display. The originals went back in the box.

I can't remember if I got the 'upgrade' of Roadblock, I know I got Duke/Scarlett.
But Heavy Gunner Roadblock is my Classified Roadblock now, so Roadblock and his Ghostbusters gun is moot either way. Once we get a vintage/retro Scarlett, that will be my Scarlett as well. For now, this Duke is my default Duke, but Duke certainly can be done better. |

I have the Duke and Scarlett. Didn't get the Roadblock, because HA Roadblock was available when I started collecting, and I'm not a completionist, so I bought that one, instead.
I like the Duke, but a more retro-inspired Scarlett would be preferable, for me.

Yeah I actually like this Duke a lot. I don't need another Duke to replace this one.
Actively hate this Roadblock, but I hate v2 Roadblock in general. And I don't mind this Scarlett but would love a new one. I'm not married to her v1 look but I would really like a head sculpt closer to Glenda. I feel bad talking smack about how modern figures look because I'm always worried somebody based a headsculpt on their mom or dad or sister or something, but I do have a certain way I kind of want Scarlett to look that's more like how Larry Hama or Rod Whigham or Ron Wagner drew her.

A lot. I don't own the originals (and unless I buy yojoe.com,) I probably never will. Those garish colors were straight trash.

I prefer the way the field variant figures look to the originals, but was later to the line after both were available so I don't have pairs to compare in hand. FV Scarlett is the only one I own, since I'm waiting for Retro Duke and opted for the HA Roadblock over the earlier Classified version that was based on the '86 figure.

FV Duke looks so much better than the wave 1release.

The face sculpt for Duke is great, IMO. Even discounting the shin guards and some of the other "Blackout"-type design features, he is the best of the original wave, with the exception of Destro.
