I said that before, they are focusing on new sculpted parts for the vehicles so they can sell those to collectors and make all the profit there...

The proportions on that fang pilot look weird... almost like a New Sculpt Era figure. Helo looks bangin’ though.

I feel as if the retro line suffers from three things:
-lack of vision-is it retro for the cartoons or retro for the original ARAH action figures release? -lack of knowledge of designers- with as vast a catalog of parts to choose from we see too many questionable decisions in the designs (Roadblock head and legs; Scarlett gloves and torso; spending budget on new cast parts when better options already exist yet lazily choosing parts where a new sculpt would be called for. -distribution and assortment of product-the female figures are being short packed causing difficultly in finding them in the wild. I fear that Destro will become a shelf warmer.

I'll appreciate having him but I think he'll stick out (in a bad way) from the rest of a modern collection. Last edited by Dod Ear; 09-26-2020 at 03:11 PM.. |

Someone said that it is made up of 1/18 MU parts on the other thread. I hope there are some promo pics soon.

Bam! The debate begins anew!
It will be weird to see this in person, with non yellowish skintone. I never repainted mine because I'm so used to the vagueness. With better skintone I might not ever be able to unsee the ridiculousness of the his high collar full open shirt combo... |

Weird that they remade the FANG, especially with the 25th re-tool (which was great). Not a fan of the stunted back end on this one. Oh well, money saved for the Stinger I'm praying they release!

Why do a new sculpt for a fang pilot.
That is one figure that NOBODY would have complained about if they just cobbled together old parts |

New HISS and FANG driver/pilots with new tooling. You'd think that based on my callsign, I'd be pretty excited. Quite the opposite really... |

That fang is impotent.
