I appreciate the Retro line and ordered the Wave 2 figures. After a long period of the club's expensive offerings being the only game in town $13 feels likes a steal - even if there's room for improvement.
Didn't order the Fang. I thought I'd be most excited about a newly tooled figure - but the bright colors / odd proportions / overall design are just off. It looks like it'd fit in well with the Fortnite figures. Last edited by Dod Ear; 09-26-2020 at 08:17 PM.. |

Me too man, I'm building those right now, and while I can find them usually around what retro retails for, it'd be nice to be able to find them more easily.
We (I) also need the POC/50th Viper reissued.

Carpenter Bee is the Classified Cobra Trooper on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...language=en_US So Carpenter Ant could be a different trooper. Or Cobra Commander, as some have speculated. Also, for those saying Zartan sold out, he's still up at Amazon with the name Mountain Lion. If that name shows up in Retro then we know who it is, though I'd prefer he come in a box with his swamp skier. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...language=en_US In regards to the FANG, I don't love it but don't hate it either. Appreciate that Hasbro threw more tooling dollars at the line. I personally would have done something else out of the gate. I hope the Retro team at Hasbro takes constructive criticism and evolves the line going forward. The potential is there for this line to be as popular as Star Wars TVC is, but it needs more informed decision making first. |

I was hopeful HasLab would throw us a bone and do a Joe product this time around.

It's been known to be TVC for a while now. But the Razor Crest would fit in with Joe (or Cobra) just fine I'd think! And what's more, it's already fully funded and heading to its first stretch.

Baby steps are needed with GI Joe Retro. The Hasbro team needs to up their game and get some truly definitive product out that's impossible to say no to. Even though Destro was already strong from the 50th figure, some new accessories rather than what appears to be Lowlight's rifle and case could have taken him to the next level. I also want to see more direction in the line. I view it as modern sculpts with retro-influenced colors from Garrido's artwork. Ok. Then what influenced the FANG pilot? I thought I heard the designer mention Sunbow when he was gushing about it. Is that pilot out of Sunbow episodes? I don't recall... |
