I'd be seriously pumped to see them release the 50th Flint in this line but painted in v1 colors like the SDCC variant. But not with the weird skintone problem they had that year. But then again, isn't it considered a brand new figure by Hasbro's bean counters if you change even one color on it?

Overthinking things by a huge margin. Why would they bother with O-rings? lol. They are simply using the current molds they have cause they are more modern figures and it's the cheaper route to take for the line. Why create all new molds and figures just to bring back o-ring figures just to please a small portion of a dying breed of fan base who can't get out of the 80s?
Retro line is not the main product line, this is just some side stuff they are putting out to bait the toy collectors and it worked when it sold out so quick on preorders. But, there was equal merit for the route Hasbro took. Even if Hasbro still managed to cock it up at the last minute in the details. I don't think the Storm Shadow selection had a damn thing to do with costs, or licensing or anything other than the Renegades figure was more recently used and more readily available for a quick turnaround than digging up the Retaliation Ultimate Storm Shadow.

I don't think so.
