Re: Definitive Versions
PoC Lifeline and Renegades Airtight were pretty damn perfect, I thought. If we're counting FSS stuff, I'd also throw in Frostbite (I also love Bombshell/strike too but I guess some would quibble over her if they want something spot on to the original) 1. POC Snake Eyes could be made available in green, tan or other colors for various characters. 2. POC Steel Brigade, again change up the color scheme 3. POC BAT - even with that bulky holster. 4. 30th Lifeline 5. 30th Hazard-Viper, if released in green would make a cool Tripwire (maybe not ARAH accurate though) 6. 30th Cobra - THIS should be a no-brainer for Hasbro. Release it in blue and grey! 7. Cobra Red Ninjas (Retaliation) 8. Jinx 9. POC Cobra Trooper/Steel Brigade Driver - good mix of torso and legs could release in various colors 10. Lift-Ticket/ Retaliation Airborne (more pilot figures) 11. Retaliation (3pk) Firefly/DOTD Flint - you can see a lot of these figures utilize the same basic legs (Lifeline, Snake Eyes, Cobra, etc.) 12. 50th Gung-Ho I would almost prefer Hasbro use this body for Roadblock with the green vest if they are going for a more "Classified" look. Just my ramblings. Jason |

For Scarlett:they painted on the red shoulder pad. They painted on the v-neck. I can't even...
If these things don't irritate you, then should then be irritated that they neglected to paint on a chest grenade for "accuracy". I could rant about Scarlett for pages on end, but will just here. I've got a new retro Scarlett to work on for sanity purposes... |

Some of these may have already been mentioned. These are not in any particular order. Hasbro could basically just release these with updated paint schemes IMHO:
1. POC Snake Eyes could be made available in green, tan or other colors for various characters. 2. POC Steel Brigade, again change up the color scheme 3. POC BAT - even with that bulky holster. 4. 30th Lifeline 5. 30th Hazard-Viper, if released in green would make a cool Tripwire (maybe not ARAH accurate though) 6. 30th Cobra - THIS should be a no-brainer for Hasbro. Release it in blue and grey! 7. Cobra Red Ninjas (Retaliation) 8. Jinx 9. POC Cobra Trooper/Steel Brigade Driver - good mix of torso and legs could release in various colors 10.

Because this is on the shelf Im thinking they are being put out too early by the stockers that are just putting things on the shelf and not checking the boxes or just not caring.

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. IMO, Scarlett is near perfect. She just needs those lower arms changed to 25th. That's my only complaint about her. I would like a nice well made Ninja Force or v4 (2004/Spy Troops) Scarlett now. I like her in Green over Blue. Roadblock on the other hand, ehhhh. I don't like the armor. I don't know why they couldn't just paint his tank top on him and give him the black webgear of 25th. It's enough to pass on him. Destro is great for people that didn't get 50th. |

Knowing what we know of Hasbro's take on this line, what other figures that need updates, should Hasbro try and make for future waves? Mainly, what figures do we NOT have a "Ultimate" version of, that they could make with POC or later parts? Let's make CV figures off limits.
Ripcord: Shock trooper torso and arms with Marauders Falcon legs painted in V1 colors. Shockwave: Repaint Widescope with V1 shockwave colors. Breaker, Grunt, Short Fuse, V1 Hawk: POC CT painted green, or FSS Jammer's build painted green. Wetsuit: 50th Torpedo with 25th Wetsuit head, and dive gear, painted in V1 colors. Need to have 50th flippers though. Iceberg: take the Club's build but give us the correct head (I think there was one sculpted around the same time as Pythona's and Zandar's head), Arctic SE skirt, and shock trooper legs. That's all I can think of for now.

I totally forgot that I put this build together before ( minus the gloves and head). I guess it's not so bad:
Here's a new Dreadnok: Catwalk She was a high fashion model that got tired of feeling exploited in her line of work. She decided to use her looks and wild behavior to take advantage of the modeling industry. From stealing photography equipment to holding a fashion magazine executive hostage for a healthy ransom, her devious actions were recognized by the Dreadnoks. She was brought into the fold, and now is one of the most dangerous in the gang. She truly has Looks that Kill!!! |
