technically, i don't think we have much to go on what the resolute figures are gonna look like (i stand by my assumption that the Duke and SS we saw are not resolute)
If the Duke at least matches what we saw in the little promo i'll be ok buying one more... (but i'd still rather see more new characters any day, that's where they've completely dropped the ball for the last 6-8 months of this line) We already saw TODAY the Comic pack RnR/Deep Six/Armored CC and they were pictured with that Duke and Snake Eyes.......That Snake Eyes Im willing to beat is the one with Night Creeper coming up and that Duke IDK.... |

I like that IG/Viper Pack.. get a couple and it's instant army. I'll be getting those for sure. The Fred/CC and Rock and Roll has the TF Flint arms, which means I'll wait for that pack to get a loose R&R. I'll give the extra D6 to my Brother.

I for one would rather have re-packed figures in the exact same color as their first release with at most a MINOR paint change (like Wild Weasel's neck color) than some ridiculously repainted CC in gold, or Destro in blue. That way, it's slightly different to keep people from selling it as another figure, but otherwise, I hate it.
Especially with troop builders. That's the point of troop builders, to amass an army that looks similar. I don't want 100 different-colored Vipers. If they're going to make slightly different ones, make their flesh tones different. I still want an ethnically-diverse Trooper or Viper multipack. With the EXACT SAME frickin' uniform, thank you. At worst, you can replace parts from existing figure's bad paint apps with the new ones (I did that with my DVD Roadblock, his eyes were better than the 5-pack RB's). Otherwise, you have a rainbow-colored army of Storm Shadows, and blue Destros, and off-gray Destros, and Snake Eyes in uniforms you never saw him in... Or figures like Breaker, who is missing the pieces that made him Breaker (like his helmet gear, etc.) |

Now, Hasbro, if you're releasing FIXED versions of figures, like v2 Hawk's arms, for example, then thank you. I don't know why, at Wave 9, you couldn't get his elbows to bend any better than figures released in Wave 1, but hey, folks make mistakes.
If you're re-releasing them in multi-packs, it's definitely cheaper... Just sucks that folks have to buy the same guy several times to get him right. |

Resolute = Awesome

w. 14 is the one i'm really hoping for to be good: i'm praying they do a much better version with Falcon, cuz the first one was pretty bad (unfortunately they probably won't change the head ~ but i think using the Dusty torso and rolled up sleeves will make him tons better), Zap seems like a can't miss (fingers crossed) and would probably buy 2 to give Short Fuze the right web gear and the Damaged BAT the showed at Joecon or SDCC was pretty awesome...
otherwise i'm only definite on Blowtorch from 13 and 15. If any of the Resolute ones are awesome upgrades i might replace a couple...

I wonder how many of those Iron Grenadier / Viper comic packs we will see being returned to the store with the Iron Grenadier missing and a second Viper in his place.

Thanks for posting the list Artie!!
Yes we don't exactly know what the Single Waves 14 & 15 figs will be... but the Walmart computers have been accurate in the past. And we still don't know where the SpyTroop themed figures we saw loose previews of will fit (comic? dvd?) But I am hopeful & confident that the Resolute figs will be new sculpts (if not entirely than mostly) to help promote the animation. I am also hoping for the fixes on Falcon, & am hoping that the reissued figures are not straight repacks on the singles. Like Falcon could be cartoon colors or retooled or both, or Red Star could have the camo colors the oldskool one has. Give us something new, rather than the same paint scheme & tooling on the same character. So far it has been minimal, but lately we have seen more of it as the line winds down. |
