Anyway...to answer the question: Flint and Lady Jaye? Sure, those are close enough to the Sunbow appearance that I'd buy them for my kids in a heartbeat (they've grown up watching the cartoons) if the articulation was on par with the best of the 30th/Retaliation/50th Joes. Give them swivel wrists, single-jointed knees, clown proportions, or painted-on details (like Retro Scarlett's shooter pad on her shoulder) and I probably skip them since the versions we have are as good or better if your design team phones it in. Scarlett? Maybe. I don't mind an update but they took more liberties there than I would prefer when we still don't have an "ultimate" version (25th has the right appearance but the articulation and sculpts are majorly disappointing). The shinguards and excessive color count work against this one but maybe not enough to not buy. Duke, Roadblock, Destro, the first version of Cobra Commander? No, I don't like anything about them. Color selections, some of the piping and textures, shinguards... Not a fan. I'd buy them for fodder to make customs for the kids if they hit deep clearance. It's my goal to find or build whatever I can to mimic the Sunbow Joes so they have a play/viewing experience like what I had when I was their age. If it looks nothing like Sunbow, they notice and they point it out and ask why. (Why does Stalker have a dreadlock ponytail and a goatee? He's supposed to have short hair and a moustache.)

Or maybe Classified Alley Vipers, BATs, Vipers, Croc Master, Heavy Artillery Roadblock, etc., in 4" ME Retro style? In which case definitely.

Maybe not right away, but eventually. Start evolving it. (I assume we're talking O-Ring...?)

The only scale change they could tempt me with is making them Mega Construx size and with the same level of detail and articulation as Mega Construx figures, just without the vehicles being building block construction. I could get behind something like that but what is Hasbro going to do? License Joe to Mattel?

I would like more 4" modern retro and for Classified to learn something from the Walmart 4" Roadblock and make those overlay vests removable without having to cut them off by using the buttons that Roadblock's vest has.
