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.

Yeah that TF RB is going to become scarce I think.

Agree with everything else.

Damn, that RB is a huge letdown for me. Looks like I'm going to have to pony up the dough for the TF version. *sigh*

I won't harp on this, but when that Cobra Officer (female) torso came out, it was widely reviled. Its blocky, shapeless, and has no details at all.

Now they paint it yellow, use it for an A-list character, and tons of people are thrilled. I don't get how re-releasing a better torso with an updated head would be "boring", but this thing shows real effort on Hasbro's part.

I'm just confused. That's one of the worst torsos in the modern Joe arsenal. I thought worst case scenario for Scarlett was a Renegades repaint. But even that torso is so much better constructed (even if the design aesthetic isn't to my taste).

I actually have no issue with the F. Officer torso at all. I don't care for the arms though, the range of motion is incredibly limited. I can't tell from the pics if those are carried over here, but if they are, it would be the only drawback in my opinion. Hell,I don't even mind the gloves, but I'm not looking for ARAH accuracy either- I have ARAH for that.

Oh well, different strokes, I guess.

Are those different legs on Destro? The legs look like they don’t fit the lower torso.

They're the same as the 50th- it's the one aspect of that figure I don't care for.

It's a pretty plug-n-play option for them to make a Stinger VAMP with driver. They already have all the tooling they need. That will be the pre-order that will just break Wal-Mart's servers as everyone fights to get at least one..

Eventually (if the line continues) they can always squeak out another Water Moccasin with an improved Copperhead.

I'm only thinking right now about vehicles that originally came with drivers, as they are going for the nostalgic boxed look right now.

And of course, they can put out yet another release of the Snow Cat with Frostbite. If they want to go slightly smaller, they can re-release a slightly updated Serpentor with the Air Chariot.
