I predicted this move by Hasbro about a month ago. Good to see they are doing this. But, I think Scarlett actually looks worse.

Thingiverse is a library of user-uploaded 3d models (and a tiny bit of other things too like files for laser cutters and CNC) that you can download and print at home. Or alter the file and upload a remix of some kind, and post pictures of printed examples of the models and such. Everything on thingiverse is free with several versions of Creative Commons licenses and such regarding whether you can print them for profit like in an etsy shop.

For Scarlett, this is a distinction without a difference, imo. She really requires a complete wardrobe makeover. On the other hand, there was no need to make any changes to Roadblock at all. He just needs to go away. (And hopefully never come back ... at least in this form.)
I'm going to predict Duke and SE get reworked. Duke: They'll get rid of the gold and may give him Beachhead or Flint's shinguards. Snake Eyes: They will mold his webgear/holsters in grey.

Though I should clarify regarding Roadblock. I meant he "needs to go away now". As everyone who enjoys the 1986-style look, already had/has access to a perfectly suitable version (warming the figurative pegs/clogging up the internet). So I think it's time for Hasbro to move on.

I just watched the Full Force news story about this. Scarlett's face and hair do look a lot better. I can't believe I'm going to be buying Roadblock for the 3rd time already, lol.

Honestly, I think I like Cobra Infantry better than Cobra Trooper. Roadblock and Scarlett still do nothing for me.

https://toynewsi.com/278-37862 I get the fandom likes this, their obsession with 'realism', but they don't make good toys. They aren't attractive in the slightest. The 80s toys, something I didn't even grow up with, walk that line of attractive toy and realistic soldier far better than this. |

After all the weeping and gnashing of teeth over the scarcity of the Cobra Trooper, you would think most people would welcome the Cobra Infantry figure. Because the movie (and figures from the movie) is delayed, Roadblock and Scarlett were always going to be repacked in this wave, now we get a variation.

Thanks, I hate it. Both figures are even less eye catching and less 'toyetic'. The only positive I can see is Roadblock's green gloves, but he looks like a bland pile of earth tones, more so than the first one. Nothing stands out, they're just there. The original 80s toys had more colors and life to them. I wouldn't think about these twice if not for the brand.
