Apologies if everyone has already noticed this, but is that the Resolute Roadblock vest on Roadblock? I hope they have the Retaliation Roadblock torso underneath and not the Resolute one (and that they have painted the vest in proper camo). I guess bad news for those hoping for new webgear for Roadblock.

At least it looks like they tried. Whether you like Scarlett or not (I do), they seem like they made an honest go of it

I've been waiting like 4 years for something like this to drop. Seems like Scarlet is mostly a new mold as well. Definitely getting all three if they become available at stores near me.

Yeah RB has the tactical vest. I like it. I can always give him the harness from the 25th figure as long as his tank top is painted camo. That harness it too big for the 25th body so it may fit that bigger build. Hoping it’s the club head not the Resolute head, but either way it’s an improvement from the 25th. Destro is exactly as I hoped he would be. Love it. Scarlett looks like a very faithful attempt to get her ARAH accurate. I appreciate the effort. She was what I was waiting on. Her getting a new kit bash figure just made this line legit. I’m very hopeful for DUKE. I was afraid of a 25th repack. My only issue with Scarlett is the gloves. Too much gray arms. If the gloves ran up the arm like the vintage one it would break up that long gray arm better, my only issue. I’m fine with the Shooter toros, it’s pretty card accurate so I can’t complain. Looks like a must have set. It’s a shame because it makes the first wave SS and SE mishaps that much more frustrating because this line may be the real after all. The good thing is if past practice has taught me anythjng it’s that Hasbro has no problems giving us repeat SEand SS figures. I’ll definitely it 1 of each to keep on those cards, and a second Scarlett and RB for my display. I hope they go beyond Walmart and go the Fan Channel route. Target is as useless as Walmart. Trailer would be a great option. Now Hasbro, I am happy with my HoH 2009 Zartan on card. Give me that Zartan in a vintage Chameleon box and I’ll tear up.

I can overlook the height (though I get it), and the neck peg can be altered, like they did with Recondo —> Bruce Willis/Joe Colton. Or mod the new head to fit that angle!

This isn’t typical Joe bashing, it just feels like a whiff when you invest in a seemingly new head and then appear to flub the parts you *should* have readily available. Like SDCC CC not using the Retaliation torso, but instead, going with that disastrous 25th; retro homage should not trump solid aesthetics.

To be clear—you made that torso work, so maybe I’m being too hard on it. But the skinny arms in combo remind me of a Lego Friends chick, especially compared to her lower half. We’ll see in hand—hoping it works.

That looks fantastic! It is a shame the Resolute versions are so expensive and hard to find these days.

You’re talking straight repack with a new head? That wouldn’t be exciting for me, but I do agree it’s a great figure
