Tough to tell with the glare, but I like what I see so far.
I think Scarlett is awesome... Not that it's a great figure when taken as a whole mind you, but IMO the best version of her we've gotten so far, so win in my book. Wish I could see Roadblock's face- that will ultimately make my mind up on whether the Resolute RB gets a replacement or not. Destro is Destro, my 50th is fine as is. I'm assuming this wave is also exclusive to Wal-Mart? I hope not, I've still not even seen wave 1 in my area.

Not digging that Scarlett at all. Torso, arms, thighs - none of the pieces worked well when originally released and made worse when combined.
Actually, nothing in this Wal Mart retro line has not been worth getting excited over, at least for me. But hopefully it will do well enough to get future waves, just like it did waaaa-aay back in 2007. |

RB’s legs appear to be the basic Retaliation RB’s... so single hinged and no ankles. Not ideal, but they look good so I can deal.

Hmmm...
Scarlett looks like Scarlett. Not a huge fan of the parts, but she'll look good next to Shooter if you have her. I consider it a better build than the 1st 25th figure. Roadblock has too much glare, but it looks like Roadblock if you squint, so I'll probably be happy with it. Destro looks good, but I already have the 50th. I hope this release has tighter joints, mine was loose out of the package |

SIGH, I really wish I could get these figures over here in Australia. 'Specially that Destro. He's rad.

Roadblock was the only character from this wave I was really interested in so I wish the photo of him was better. I am happy with my 50th Destro but if this one has better legs I might swap him. The smooth torso on Scarlett probably is vintage accurate, and this figure does look like the best modern v1 figure that Hasbro have put out, but I don't really like the character so I don't set the bar too high for her. I am more interested in seeing an improved Lady Jaye in this line.

I like them. Roadblock abs Destro is pretty much as expected, and at least they tried on Scarlett. In fact, I used the same torso and thought my custom was killer (yeah, I said it).
Looks like a new head sculpt for scarlet but still hard to tell- nope, looking at surveillance port on FB- definitely a new head. Also not sure those are the 50th officer/ shooter arms. Different hands for sure

I don’t have a huge problem with that shooter torso. I honestly think that most people’s problem is that it’s not “sexy” enough. That’s one of the things the og ARAH line got right: all of the female Joes are attired properly for their jobs and not overly sexualised for no reason. Even the Baroness’ outfit seems practical with the armoured bits.
