I think only new parts of that Fang pilot are the head and webgear (or torso, if that webgear is molded on). I don't have many 1/18 Marvel Universe figures, but the rest of the parts come from that line. Can anyone with a good knowledge of those parts figure out where we have seen them before?
Again, I'll just reiterate that the Fang And pilot are a complete fail.

The HissTank is on eBay now but my order from Walmart still hasn't shipped. Hmm.
Oh, and the fat FANG and pilot are a pass.

Also, I'm looking at in-hand pictures of Scarlett and Destro on eBay. Scarlett is actually a very solid update that was sorely needed. If it wasn't for the lack of her trademark gauntlets I'd say it was a home run.
Destro, on the other hand...I was just looking at his original 50th figure on my shelf, and the paint job on the new retro version is 2,000% better. The original was a great sculpt marred by really sloppy paint, and the new version looks so much better It's not even funny.

I’m also pretty familiar with MU and am pretty confident none of the tooling is from those lines. For what it’s worth, the panel explicitly stated the pilot was all-new tooling.
Was gonna skip Destro, but after seeing good shots of it, you’re right. The paint is fantastic.

Comparison between the 50th Destro (left) and Walmart/Retro Destro (right) paintjobs:
He's showing the same exact amount of skin on both figures, so I don't see how the skin color matters?

I think he’s implying that the yellow is indicative of it being a shirt and not bare chest.

I think he's referencing that the 50th Destro is wearing a yellow shirt, and not a bare chest. I always thought it was a yellow shirt, even the V1 version.
