Also I hope that the multilingualism means that you can get them in Scotland, maybe in your equivalent of Walmart?

the one I got was this https://www.yojoe.com/action/93/roadblock6.shtml still with his stand.

the equivalent of walmart is asda which is hit and miss when it comes to exclusives we got the vintage 70s star wars but aside from that ive not seen any other exclusives only got one 8 foot aisle as well which doesnt help. my best bet is probably amazon or an online retailer

Not going to lie hurts a little seeing the new Baroness and Cobra Trooper for 6 inch. Also someone on Facebook thought maybe this Storm Shadow because it is a single colored plastic. The awesome Ultimate one had two color plastics. The single carded figures are mostly one color plastic thus probably being cheaper. Pretty sure the budget on these is low. All these are just guesses.

Those Special Missions 6" figures are the titties - especially Beachhead and Cobra Trooper. Gives me some more optimism for the future of the retro line - it's nice see Hasbro investing in the brand again.

Anyone have any insight into this legal stuffs?

It’s because he has the likeness of the movie actor

1. Really? This is what all the anticipation has been for?

3. Snake Eyes doesn't even match the card art - or v1. How is that retro?
4. Is that a new head on Baroness? I can't tell.
5. Is that a new head on Crankcase? I can't tell. (still doesn't have his proper helmet though)
6. Hiss Driver is the one good part about the whole reveal.

Yes, it appears so

Indeed. The new parts on this are what inspires me to think more new tooling is in the horizon.

I think that the Crankcase head looks a lot like it could be the Club’s FSS Topside. But what do I know, I just might be trying to find hope they’ll be able to use the FSS Tiger Force Roadblock head. Would love to see it with the helmet off (there already existed a more accurate helmet from the dollar general duke).

I’m fairly confident it’s not, but we’ll see.

Hasbro did use the FSS Hit n Run head, so the precedent is already there.

Difference is the FSS Hit n Run head was made for the cancelled 30th wave so it was originally created by Hasbro and not the club

I'm doubtful now that I'm comparing pics.
