RB doesn’t really do it for me and Destro is solid but I already own that fig. His rifle is awesome but you have about a second after it is assembled before the pieces explode from each other.
Scarlett looks nice but the head seems a little small. |

I agree on Classified in some ways. But Baroness and Cobra Trooper really turned me around. The worst figures in Classified (Roadblock, Red Ninja, sort of Scarlett) are ones I can do without or overlook and there are now at least four really solid characters.
I was still buying 3.75 figures until I got the Trooper in hand. Now I realize that any new 1:18 scale things that I buy are just going to gather dust. Can see what people are saying about Scarlett’s gloves, still, not a deal breaker for me, that is a mean looking Destro, I would of got it if they’d of just chromed his head, love silver chrome on Destro or gold! Roadblock looks pretty good to me, can always paint the camo on? Jscott @ Oh yeah forgot about Baroness, pity she’s not sold separate too as it’s already near impossible to get her and the cycle for a decent price, but a real decent figure, one of the best, agreed! Yeah, as for the nerf guns, can always upgrade to Action Force 6 inch weapons, those are awesome as well as the Sgt Slaughter figure (I would). Though I stopped buying 6 and 7 inch figures like 2 years back or something, which is messed up, been waiting forever for GI Joe 6 inch figures, with my decade or two of Marvel/DC 6 inch figures and customs, just ran out of room, a big reason I'm back on the 1:18 after many years, I did miss ‘em, that scale was always in my blood since vintage Action Force, GI Joe and Star Wars, then I went all crazy on the 5 inch Marvel and DC Toybiz stuff too before the 6 inchers.... what got me back is how detailed GI Joe is in the modern era of 1:18 figures, missed buying many vehicles too! I hope Hasbro makes 6 inch scale vehicles and not just bikes! So bit funny me switching to 6 to 4 and you switching from 4 to 6 :P Just hope u have plenty of room, when you get in the hundreds you need a couple of spare rooms! Gotta admit that Cobra Trooper looks awesome ;) I was planning to buy the Haslab Snake Eyes, missed out on that one, not paying 80 plus online for one plus also whatever postage and customs on top of that would cost! Wanted the SDCC Cobra Commander too and the hard to get Cobra Trooper, well, their all hard to get, so Hasbro basically turned me off already as a collector of the Classified line sadly, even Baroness is a exclusive, real pain in the butt, these need to be everywhere toys are sold! Anyways, they need to make a 6 inch scale Vamp, Ram, Hiss at the very least this or next year! |

I like them. And part of that is that I’m just tired of bitching and being negative about every little thing. Fact is, we’re lucky to have any 4”, and the fact that we’re getting new builds, new heads, and a bit of new tooling is better than we expected. Shit, some of us were concerned these would be straight 25th repacks, and yet this is such a disappointment? I, for one, can’t do it anymore. If you thought it would be better than this giving the trend if the scale, you only have yourself to blame.
Like that RB mirrors the classified head even though it doesn’t match the card art. |

I like only Scarlett figure, I'll buy it.
I am sure it is coming a perfect Duke action figure.

These are, at least, better than the first three that were released.
The Scarlett is the best of the bunch. A good looking combination of parts, good paint and a very welcome new headsculpt (considering the previous failed attempts). The Moustache did well here. The RB is a repaint of the lack of ankle articulation https://www.yojoe.com/action/12/roadblock22.shtml with a new head. The Moustache failed not using the ultimate body. Destro is a straight up repaint but I know a lot of people missed him the first time around. The Moustache has dialed this figure in.

Hating that RB head. Looks way too much like the Classified. Looks like he will get the TF head swapped.
Scarlett looks good but need her in hand before I decide. Destro is a great figure but like everyone else said I have him so he may be passed on. Hopefully like ZBS said we get the concept Duke head and a solid build for him. CC I expect will be the Ultimate version from Retaliation.

LOL... I thought I was the only one this happened to! Yeah, great concept behind these long rifles for various snipers, but Destro and Lowlight both have rifles that explode into a mess if you even breath on them.

I'm liking what I'm seeing (leaked GI Joe Retro like images) and I'm quite shocked at what I've been reading in this thread...sadly, nothing appears to be so perfectly executed to fully please collectors at this time. I understand there are various arguments supporting the notion of what is really "desired or wanted" has not been fully met/delivered and there is also the valid argument I side with about the wide variety of products in this scale currently on the market naturally increasing the competition. I guess that's part of an ongoing debate that fuels/triggers further discussions, speculations, questions etc...
I totally agree with Axonrey, SmokeBellew & LEEE777 as well as others sharing similar views; I'd buy RB, Scarlett and Destro in a blink of an eye for the obvious reasons already stated - new builds, new heads & new tooling - and the mere fact that I've never owned 5Oth Destro, Resolute or any other version of Scarlett I was happy with and this seems to do the trick for me...never owned a solid homage to the original RB (customs excluded) with newly sculpted head as well, strong indication that what's coming is worth considering!

I have that Destro back when it was released, but his knees were very rubbery. I would definitely want this one if they fixed that.
