Can't remember if Hasbro ever revealed which artist is doing the new head sculpts for these Walmart Retro figures, but I think they are putting more effort into some of these than I first realized.
When comparing the 1982 Grunt (v.1) to the 2021 Robert "Grunt" Graves (v.15) Infantry Trooper figure, I am noticing many similarites in the sculpt of the nose, lips, chin, etc. Can you see them too? |

The original Grunt head always reminds me of Michael Ironsides in Scanners.

Found a buncha Grunt/Officers, and if anyone is wondering, the case breakdown is:
2x Officer 2x Graves 1x Trooper 1x Lonzo

Wave 4 finally in my local wal mart as of tonight - two full pegs of Stalker and Cobra Trooper. Didn't pull the trigger since I have both figs already. First figures I have seen at that Wal Mart since Wave 1.
Stopped by another wal mart yesterday - surprisingly well stocked toy dept but only HISS IIIs. Picked up my son a Star Wars ARC Trooper Echo as a surprise though |

I am curious to see how the Vipers turn out. It seems this line is more of a continuation of the 25th line rather than POC line. Classified is POC embiggened. Calibrate your expectation folks.

Why are you mentioning Vipers in this Retro thread? Have they been leaked somewhere? Thanks in advance for your response.

No inside info. But, if the line continues, there will be Vipers. There is some inside info regarding the embiggened line floating around. Not sure if it is just speculation, but an easter egg was post on HT frontpage recently, so I am guessing the news I heard may be real.
This also suggests that the HT forum folks are privy to info they are not sharing... |

Totally! Though I now think of him in Starship Troopers probably because he's barking orders and in a military role. Good call.

What are some heads that will work on the Grunt torso? If I want to make greenshirts, will any standard heads work or will they look odd?
Also, any idea of what to do for the gummy t-bar? Could we put a layer of glue or nail polish on it to make it less rubbery feeling ? |
