Hoping for vintage o-ring line! I'm not going to jump to assumptions until I see the what these items are going to be though.

I'm saying couldn't they just take the original vintage figures, and then use those figures and just make a new mold off of them? I mean people custom cast parts all the time, I'm sure Hasbro could make molds from vintage figures.

And frankly they have all the modern molds so just make new stuff from that. I mean if the club taught us anything (aside from bad QC and overpricing) its that many characters can be made from the use of existing molds with MINOR new pieces having to be added. |

I hope retro is branding off 4 inch in general (I know it won’t be) If they run new molds to replicate old figures without a modern line, I’ll be most perturbed.

Looking back, don't the Star Wars Retro line mirror the Star Wars Classic line from 1977 and 80s? So if this is like that then this Retro line will mirror the Joes from the 80s, right? Same molds, fresher paint.

If this line is in the 1:18 arena after all, I am fully expecting this to be 1980s o-ring throwback figures the same way SW retro went throwback to 70's figure builds. It should also be noted that I am a pessimist, so...this expectation of mine is not my preferred outcome. I'll be happy to be wrong.
Also...where are the bend 'ems? I can't wait to cringe at them if that rumor turns out to be true.

Interesting. Hope it's not exactly like the Star Wars line they can't hold their weapons. The Real American Heo line from the early 2000's gave the figures more pliable hands so thumbs wouldn't break off. But the didn't fix the crotch piece. O-ring or not I'm in.

I bet its much easier to re-create the molds now than it was in the early 2000s.
