I know! I’m really disappointed with the retro Duke because I was really hoping for a version using 50th Flint parts

That slow-talking guy who's apparently in charge of the 3.75" line is totally clueless. CC could've been a dark blue repaint of the Ultimate version with the hood. Duke is a parody of what fans have been asking for. They need to replace him yesterday.

My Pulse order was done at 1:01 PM. No problems checking out. This wave is yet more confirmation after Zartan and Viper that Hasbro has responded to the criticism of wave 1 and 2 and changed course on the line. They have followed the classic designs 90%+ of the way on almost all of the 2021 figures. And even Firefly is a reality-inspired update, not a cartoonish change. No more gold guns, no more gold armor-plating, not a lot of weird stripes added to the costumes and no more cartoonish facial features. This line is finally delivering what the fans expected in the first place. Hopefully we can look forward to remakes of the 2020 figures so we can toss the Fortnite-ripoff versions into the trash bin of history.
It's also worth nothing that I haven't seen any of the predictions come true that classic designs would bore people and no one would be interested in buying 1980s-style Joes that weren't modernized. Pulse sold out 4,000 copies of each figure in no time flat. The popularity of the line has not waned now that the figures look more classic. The line doesn't stink anymore! I think both Classified figures look awesome. I already pre order the Retro line even though it was not as great as the classified versions...

Lady Jaye having double jointed elbows is amazing. She looks amazing too. Bust reduction is noticeable, as is the less feminine face compared to Scarlett and Baroness, but like most of these figures, she looked much better when Lenny showed her off over the stock images. I'm very happy with her.
Flint looks great too. Even better than what I wanted with the shotgun holster. Literally nothing to comment on, he's perfect. Took the original, added some stuff, looks great. I really like the idea of the body armor on him. |

I'm not really getting why they are doing preorders for figures that aren't due out until July. Is there nothing coming between the zartan wave and these?

It's like they cracked open that 50th 3 pack and just put CC and Duke on retro cards. I wonder if that Cobra CLAWS Trooper will be the next release?

No, I said a 6" line would be a great idea many times years before they made it. I was bitching about the abhorrent abomination of a line we got with its Fortnite-style redesigns of the classic characters. I said anything else would be better...direct copies of the original figure designs, the card art, the cartoon designs, or POC-style modern, realistic redesigns. All the 2021 figures seem to have abandoned the Fortnite aesthetic and are giving us a mix of faithful classic figure interpretations with some POC-style realistic upgrades, which is basically what I and countless other fans asked for since the Classified line started.
