Seen before, yes. But, check HissTank's hands on pics with the production release that leaked out via Meijers recently.

The more I see of this figure, the more I like it!

One thing to note, as this is the first time I've handled any Retaliation figure, is that the plastic is much "cheaper" feeling than past Joe releases. Softer, can bend the limbs in the middle between joints a bit. Overall lighter weight.

Crappy ass repaint! I don't know why Hasbro bothers with hold to release date policy, only the big chain stores follow them.

Though I do wonder how the different plastic will affect customizing.

There's a noticeable height difference compared to the 25A. Joes keep getting bigger and bigger.

One other note - I could barely get the 25th stands to fit into the figure's peg holes. They seem to be a bit smaller than normal. I smooshed it down for the purposes of this shoot. May just be my particular figure, can't say for sure that all figs will have this problem. And since Hasbro isn't putting stands with them, it's not really a defect. BUT - personally, I would like the option of going and finding stands to match these figs so they work with the rest of my modern setup. Hopefully it isn't a trend with them all.
Otherwise, it's a really solid figure, looks good, and will work well with Renegades Storm Shadow in his vintage configuration. |

I like that it's not an exact copy of the Renegades Storm Shadow. They changed enough details to make it have it's own look. And it's way better than that awful 25th version..
I may be putting that one-piece black belt and sash onto Storm Shadow though. |
