It's essentially the same. Pretty good quality overall. I agree with Jscott. I don't like the white belt. There is nothing breaking the color there, so it looks more plain than anything.

Crap, now I want one of the Retro SS just because that head looks much better to me with that paint. Agree with everyone else that tue white belt feels very off here. It just blends in.

No one. Just keeping with tradition. Really I just wanted to see how it could have been...

I’ve been not paying attention. Did the retro show at brick and mortar or something?

Thanks to 46zone for posting my pic here. To be transparent, I've uploaded the raw original photo which is below:
20200322_210854 by HissHissFangFang, on Flickr I really didn't like how the photo came out, except for the clarity. Though it was taken indoors, it was a sunny day, I put my Samsung S9 on automode, left the exposure a little higher than my norm, so that Snake Eyes would come out better. But I feel the exposure (or shutter speed) was too high, washing out a lot of natural color on everyone and completely washing out Scarlett's facial flesh color. It also came out too warm. I tried to fix it up a few times (the one 46zone posted was my second uploaded, trying to tone down the warmth/red), but I've never been satisfied with the outcomes. Also as 46zone noted, the color palettes of each figure are purposely limited--I found out early that doing this makes them look and feel more authentic (per the realities of costminded mass production), which how I prefer my collection figures, especially when mixed in with non-modified Hasbro figures. So the colors should be doable. And the camo patterns via tampos better, since I'm too precise minded to do camo patterns well in my mind. All the pieces should fit without the mods I usually make on most my figures. Roadblock's kitbashed leg combo fit together nicely, as do the Helix legs on the Renegades Scarlett torso. The biggest mods I did were on Gung-Ho (so that his arms could rest closer to the body) and Duke (aformentioned and nonessential collar, but also drilled the inside of the outer upper thighs so that the legs wouldn't stickout so much at the hips and the t-bar wouldn't be exposed at the inner thigh). With the exception of Scarlett, all were made purposely as relatively simple kitbashes. The idea back then was to get them all re-released for the 40th Anniversary, and keeping tooling and packaging costs down (assuming no movie budget for the line)--all for the single purpose of getting new tooling for an updated classic Scarlett. I went into it deeper here last year: https://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-j...st-hasbro.html. I did the Scarlett in March of this year, before we received news of the Retro line and thinking that new modern 3.75" was officially dead. But hopefully the newer Scarlett will in fact have new tooling (if not, new HISS Driver can go to hell), and production/design was already well under way before anyone saw my concepts and got tempted to cheat me--I still want new scuplting for Scarlett! And with correct height and proportions!! And Resolute Scarlett is too tall. Or pics to show me otherwise. |

They're all over eBay right now though, and the mark up is not bad.

Thanks, can’t remember when the preorders were supposed to ship, but kinda wild they’d be in stores first.
